I'm starting to get the hang of the whole not-wearing-tights-with-my-shorts thing. I still feel really self conscious about showing so much of my legs to the world, but I know that I would look super ridiculous, if I opted to wear tights at such a hot time of the year. Sacrifices must be made. I understand. Heh.

Yes, it was another scorcher. So, you get another super simple outfit. >_< To make it less boring, I combined two bright pastels. I think lemon and lime are quite summery. *^_^* I thrifted the faded yellow submarine tee, but I can't seem to remember where I bought it. I've had it for ages. I snagged the cute green shorts at a steep discount through an annual sale on-line. This is my second time wearing them, since I bought them, last year. The light green is a hard color for me to work with, for some reason. I will try to wear them more often, though. I love the box pleats and the fact that it sort of looks like a skirt. :D

These are my new wingtip oxfords! They're exactly the color I was hoping for. :DDD There was a site wide sale on Amazon, recently, and my partner had planned to buy a bunch of stuff. He asked me if there was anything I wanted and I was like...man. You know, I want all the things. Haha. I had these brown oxfords in my wishlist for a really long time, so he got them for me. What a sweetheart. <3

Obviously, I can't let this go. Yes, it was a gift, but he should get something, too. So, I bought an early birthday present, last week. I'll have to wait a whole month to give it to him, but I think he'll love it. ^_^

Oh and speaking of repaying kindness, I'm putting something special together for you guys, too! You'll find out what it is in the coming weeks. :P <3 Thanks for reading and I hope you like the outfit!

Ahh, yes. That was a big disappointment for me. Companies should use natural light photos and refrain from using photoshop. =/

The shorts were final sale, because of the huge discount. So, I wouldn't have been able to send them back. I don't think I would have returned them, though. I still really liked them, but I think a darker green would have been easier for me to style for sure. :P

So nice that you got these nice oxfords, that your partner asked you "do you want something"? This is so nice! If happened to me sometimes, a few times, maybe 2 or 3, and what I hear is "do you want something from the supermarket?" Hahaha, you know, there are people who think feeding is love, and it is, but I also want shoes :) I liked the T-shirt, because of the submarine and the color - I am a huge Beatles fan :) I also loved the shorts, a nice cut! I am curious to know about the surprise!

Hahaha. <3 Feeding IS love, Denise! :DDD I'll never turn down free food. Haha. My partner knows how much I love to eat, even though I may not look like a glutton. ;) I totally get what you mean about receiving something other than food, though. It's nice to mix up the gifts, every now and again. Hehe. ;)

I've never been much of a shoe person. I don't own that many shoes and I'm very particular about the ones I add to my collection. Usually, what drives me is a lack of choice. If I think I'm wearing a shoe too often or if I find myself wishing I had a particular color that would go with a bunch of my outfits, then I find myself going shoe shopping. So, it's more of a practical endeavor than an obsession, which is the typical stereotype for women. ;P

I wondered how you were coping with the humid summer heat.

Sweet outfit and I adore the shoes. Lucky you!

Hehehe. I'm trying to teach an old dog new tricks, so to speak. I realize that I can't always defy the weather. Sometimes, I have to let it win. Though, lately, it has been winning more often than I'd like. I've got some layering experiments in the works, though! >;D~

Great summer look! I hear ya; I've been reaching for simple sundresses and such on the hot days and have not been too bold with fashion most of the time. I think this is a super fun look though! XO

So cute. Green is a tricky color, depending on the shade. I usually stick to dark forest tones or olive (my fav)!
