Romantically, the Dead River

This is another part of the Dead River. It was such a pretty section. Romantic even.

I am trying to work on more easy, breezy summer outfits. Many of my outfits are more for work. And who wants to always wear something for work? Well, I do. It's fun to wear heels and pretty skirts, but when it comes to the weekend and you're just hanging out with friends heels and a blazer and a button-up are too much. My next outfit post will show this and hopefully I get some good outfits this weekend because it's memorial weekend. Woot. Woot.

Strike a pose.

It's like my toes are glowing.

My name is crooked. Oh no.

I'm wearing enough stuff, huh?

The Lilacs are Blooming

One of my favorite flowers is the lilac, the scent as well. I'm always sad that they bloom about once a year. Sometimes there's a second round later in summer but never as much as in the spring. Not that what we have right now is spring. No rain and hot as balls. I've never really minded the heat. I can usually take it. But today I was just panting. Maybe because my mind is still in spring mode where I automatically reach for a light jacket or in this case a blazer, instead I need to find the lightest, thinnest cotton I can find and dance a rain dance. Right now, at 930 at night, it's a little better. It's cooled off to about 80.
What? What did I just say? It's cooled off to 80 degrees? What is this? End of July?

Makes me want to believe in global warming.

Yep, the blazer. Can be thrown over just about everything. In fact, I did throw it over everything this week. Like three different times. True story. Makes anything look business professional or funeral ready.

Dress: Thrifted

Blazer: American Eagle

Shoes: Payless

Belt: Forever 21

Sunnies: Target

If this hot weather keeps up imagine how warm Lake Superior will be in August. Like bath water. I might swim in it then. Joyously.

Hidden Beach

Sorry I haven't been posting. Things have just veered away from taking photos this week and last week. I had some good outfits that I missed too. Ah well. Sometimes life just...is life, I guess.
Last weekend we were at the cottage downstate. Only one photo kind of turned out on the dock. The sun was not in my favor that morning. But the rest turned out.

Dress: Old Navy

Sweater: Forever 21

Belt: Thrifted

Sunglasses: Target

I also included a couple photos from the Hidden Beach over by Wetmore. I unfortunately did not have a nice outfit on, unless you want a close up of my under armor. This beach is a little ways down the coast from Wetmores Landing. I'm not sure if the official name of the beach is called Hidden Beach or if its just hidden beach, sans proper noun, as in just a beach hidden by the twisting coastline of Lake Superior.

How neat is this beach? Cliffs circle it and trees growing at the top give it almost a dome feeling.

It's almost the weekend. And it's supposed to be a nice weekend in my neck of the woods.

What a new pair of sunglasses can do

This was the first very warm day so at one point after work I had taken my sweater and shirt off and put them back on later for pictures. And I didn't button the shirt properly. Seriously. I can be such an airhead sometimes. Those are the first couple of pictures and when I realized later that I hadn't buttoned the shirt properly I had my poor husband take more pictures. For just a regular button-up I wouldn't have worried about it but I like the details on the neck of the shirt. Check it out!
