School Girl

truth: sometimes I look like a school teacher.

maybe that's why my friend, the elementary teacher, loved this outfit ;)

I love this floral skirt, someone DIY'ed it then I bought it at goodwill!

It's an oldie but one of my favorite summer skirts!

I am also obsessed with my black glasses from Zenni Optical I wear them everyday!!

Details:
Sweater: Anthropology
Tee: F21
Skirt: Thrifted

Linking up with some awesome ladies!

Getting Sick is Only Good for Hours of Pinteresting!

Ugh.

I got the sickness! I have an awful cold, thanks to my wonderful husband who works with kids!

Grr. Hopefully it will go away soon so I can look normal enough to take some outfit pics, not like Rudolf!

Since my outfit pics are currently non existent (actually i have some i just don't have the capacity to edit them!) today is pinteresting day!

My Love For Summer Shorts

I just realized the other day I only have two pairs of shorts for the summer.

Two.

I don't really enjoy shorts. They aren't always attractive. I don't feel comfortable wearing them to work.

And to be honest they aren't as breezy as summer dresses!

However everyone needs a few pairs of shorts for the days when you just don't want to put a dress on!

Below are some of my absolute favorite versions of summer shorts to make me feel more dressy and also a few for casual days!

House Hunting Woes

It is sad that we have yet to find a house!

I know a lot of people searching that seem to find the place they like so fast and we seem to be dragging our feet!

Last week we looked at 4 houses that were a lot more than our original budget just beacuse we were giving up, hoping that they would be perfect.

Buuuut they were not perfect.


I am beginning to realize that the perfect house I have been searching for just doesn't exist.

So this past weekend I have been scouring inspiration websites to get my creative juices flowing!

We are looking at 4 really really cheap houses this week, that need ALOT  of work! But I am hoping with inspiration I will see my "perfect" house!

Here are some great sites I found this weekend for inspiration. Do you have any? I can't wait to actually find a house and make it mine!

Apartment Therapy

Christonium

Young House Love

Retro Renovation

Pinterest (of course!)

Ps. I am hoping to start posting an apartment tour, partly so I can remember my awesome apartment and so I can show you how cool our current place is and why it is so hard to leave!

Leave me so more inspiration sites I really neeeeeed them!
