Dreamin' of Summer

WOW. It’s been three years since I’ve written and uploaded a style post and that makes me so sad. It also makes me feel like a flake. It’s not like I stopped taking outfit pictures, because I haven’t, I just haven’t uploaded them so these photo assets have sat idly on my hard drive for years.

Anyway, I’m hoping to change that and just get them up even if we’re not in season. Enjoy the throwbacks!

My hair looked SO GOOD and I remember thinking how excited I was to have Lydia capture this really good hair day. (My hair appointment went longer than anticipated so my excitement turned into anxiety.)

Going blonde was honestly the most fun I ever had - every week I wore a different hair style, different shades of red on my lips, and experimented with all of my clothes. If bleaching my hair didn’t affect my curls (or my bank account) I’d still be blonde.

For this look, I decided to challenge myself with two things:

  • Style my Docs in a fun, light way and away from the dark clothes typically paired with it

  • Incorporate this denim, polka-dotted skirt

Overall, I feel like the look came out great and would definitely wear again. What do you guys think?
