Maybe summer isn't so bad...

So far summer has not been as terrible as I always think it is going to be. There's been lots of fun things going on lately and I've been getting more creative with my wardrobe! Recently I wore this to work. It was really comfortable and also not too hot. My kind of summer outfit!

I bought this black dress for my honeymoon, but I don't really like wearing it by itself. Recently I had the great idea to wear a short sleeved shirt over it (thanks fashion bloggers for giving me inspiration). I really like this striped shirt from Forever 21 - it will be a staple in my summer wardrobe. I was wearing these flats in the library recently when a young man approached me and said, "Excuse me ma'am, could you tell me where you got your flats?" I was slightly confused at first, then I saw his girlfriend cowering behind him. I kindly informed him they were from Target but I was lucky enough to find them at Goodwill. I really love girls who make their man do things they are scared to do - it's exactly what I would do!

Jared bought me this anchor necklace from Modcloth for Christmas.
Of course I gots to have my danglies. I don't really remember where these came from, they are old old old. In other news, Jared bought me the new Beyonce album! Has anyone else listened to it (other than my friends who have ridden in my car lately)? It's pretty good, but there don't seem to be many clubbin' songs on it, which is kind of disappointing. Seems like Beyonce might be transitioning into an R&B singer... sadly enough. I'll miss your bumpin' and grindin' tunes, B.
Next week I will be in Portland with my favorite West Coasters Danielle and Lindsey! Danielle is getting ordained to be a minister next week and I'm so excited to be there for the service. Last time I visited Portland there were several disasters, so here's to hoping that no one gets hospitalized while I'm visiting!! Can't wait to see my girls.
Oh and I started my new job a couple weeks ago. I'm still getting the routine down but so far so good. I feel relieved to have a new position and to be doing something a little different. Also Jessica is doing a practicum at my agency so now we can hang out at work! I hope you don't get tired of me Jess! Have a great week friends... I hope it is full of hanging with buds at work and listening to some old Beyonce tunes.
