Outfit Observations

 shirt: tjmaxx  shirt: gap  sandals: target  bracelet: francesca's

1. Let's acknowledge the obvious first. 
You may be wondering where my eyes are.  You have to look hard. 
Hey, it's been a rough week. 

2. If you want to feel like you are wearing pajamas all day wear a cotton maxi skirt and cotton tee.


3. If someone knows how to tie their shirt like this in less than 5 minutes please tell me.
It takes me way too long, which probably means I need longer shirts.

4. I think I wear these sandals at least every other day. 

5.  I clearly have stopped blow drying my hair.  
Case in point here and here this week. 
It is just too darn hot. 

6. I recently bought a strapless bra that has detachable straps, and have been wearing it as a non strapless bra. But today one strap unhooked at least 5 times, which is incredibly inconvenient. 
(I know you can't see this one, but trust me.  It may have been mid detachment in this picture.)

Happy 4th of July!

    I'm totally one for wanting to stay in my PJs (or workout clothes) all day so I may just have to copy this outfit :)

  9. I have totally had that happen before - in public. Yikes. ;)
    Love that skirt. I keep meaning to try the t-shirt knot thing, but I just never think about it when getting dressed! ;) I wore a maxi skirt the other day and just about had heat stroke, so I think I'll stick with shorts until the temps cool off just a bit. Or I may just knot my maxi skirts so they look like high-lows! ;)
    Hope the rest of your week is better!

  15. You look so cute and comfy! Don't worry, it takes me forever to tie a tee like that too. I think my blow dryer is now gathering dust since my hair has been in a bun on a daily basis!

  29. I can't tie my shirts period. I try then give up because they never look good to me. And then they end up all wrinkly! You look great!

  35. I completely agree with you on not blow drying your hair in the summer. Now that I am just basically running errands vs. working all day, a braid is my go to. My husband finally told me I should wash my hair and put on some more makeup :)
