Life Lately

I was SO sad to hear about Robin William's passing. I think a lot of us feel like we grew up watching him, I know I did. He was always a favourite of mine and acted in a lot of my favourite movies. He was also a brilliant comedian and had such infection energy. He will be very missed. Of course, it sheds light on depression and suicide. I read that suicide rates go up after a celebrity dies that way so please please if you are having suicidal thoughts or just need someone to talk to, reach out! You can also call the # 1-800-273-8255 for the US National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. 

Here's a look at my life lately. 

Pretending it's Fall haha

The cutest baby lizard! (Target flats)

Beautiful trees I walk under every day.

New Chivette shirt <3 p="">

New Target sandals that I want to wear every day.

Outfit: Mint Dress

I wore this to my husband's grad thing last week. I've actually had this dress since, like, the beginning of the year and have not got around to doing alterations on it. haha That's kind of embarrassing! It just needs to be taken in at the waist a bit. So did I get around to doing that before wearing it? Nope. I just threw a belt on.  Hashtag lazy.  I love the colour of this dress and the little keyhole! I also really like this style. It's a little more modest so it works well when I want to be a little dressed up for a day event.

Outfit: Black Tank Top

These pictures are from a week or so ago. The weather was a lot cooler this week. That's kind of a fun part of Spring here though. It can be 90F or it can be 70F so you can really wear a variety of outfits day to day.  

I've been shopping at Old Navy a ton lately. It's hit or miss with things fitting me there but it's so inexpensive and yet I find the quality is better than, say, Forever 21. I like that they always have the basics but stay on trend. I love this tank top with it's higher neckline, it just gives it a bit of a different look. 

1 week until my husband and I go on vacation for 2 1/2 weeks! We're going on a West Coast road trip which we've done many times to visit family but this time we'll make more stops, spend a few days in Portland and get to visit my family in Canada! Normally we just drive to WA to visit my inlaws. So it'll be fun! We're taking our pup so I've been looking up different dog beaches, hiking trails etc so that he has fun too.

Old Navy top, Target shorts

Outfit: Romper

I wore this new jumper on Saturday to a beer festival with my husband which was so much fun! It was a pretty hot day and this romper was perfect (until I got into a very hot porta potty and it took forever to get it off hahah). I really love rompers, have for years, but hadn't owned one in a while. Being tall and having a larger chest just makes finding a romper that fits tricky. I actually sized up for this one. It has a draped style so I felt it still worked!

Purchases: April

Oops, went over budget! I haven't bought any skirts in a while so I'm still hoping to find some. I did get some shorts which is good because most of mine from last year no longer fit (thanks weightlifting haha). Of course, I had to get new sandals. hehe I'm a sucker for strappy sandals! Our Summer lasts all the way until October though so they get plenty of wear time.

Outfit: California Love

Sorry about the lack of posts lately guys. My husband comes home soon so it's just been a little crazy busy around here!

I picked up this tank yesterday while hanging out in PB (Pacific Beach, CA) with friends. I've been wanting to get some California tops and couldn't resist this highlighter yellow shade haha I mostly know military wives here so they are from all over the country. Safe to say, I hear a LOT of complaining about California, for whatever reason (mostly. Personally, I like this state and have really enjoyed living here. We'll most likely be leaving next year and while I've always known we'd leave here eventually (it's just not "home", y'know?), I know I will miss it! 

Typical Me

Here's a closer look at what I wore...Thursday? I don't even remember. A pretty typical outfit for me. 

 Yellow and pink eyeshadow!
