Sharing

Pacsun tank; Old Navy skirt; Thrifted belt; Target wedges.

This skirt is kind of an odd color, which is why it hasn't gotten much wear so far. It's not quite grey, not quite purple. On the tag it says 'mauve', but I'm not sure if that's right either. In any case it goes with this tank at least, so that's good enough for me I guess.

In other news, I did Zumba last night with a bunch of middle-aged women and they seriously put me to shame...who knew I was that uncoordinated? Or that I could produce so much sweat in just an hour? (Too much sharing?)

Red, white & blue

Old Navy button-down and shorts; Payless sandals; Target necklace.

I'm seriously having a hard time believing it's June already...where is my summer going? Just a little less than 4 months from now I'll be (hopefully) done with most of the CPA exam and starting my new job. I'm looking forward to all that, but can time still go a little slower please?

Anyway, how many of you are doing the 30 for 30 starting next week? I participated in the fall when this blog was still brand-spankin' new and I'm pretty excited about doing it again. I don't however, plan on making as big of a deal with this one, with the counting down and all the recaps, which I realize can get a little annoying (especially if you're not participating in the challenge). I just like the idea of a challenge of putting together a month's worth of cute, different outfits with a limited closet and appreciating everything I do have even more once it's all over.

Thrifted silk shirt; Express jeans; Target wedges; Pacsun necklace (gift).

I think I'm just going to admit defeat and say that I have no idea what to write about other than I really like these flared jeans and I'm glad I finally got a pair.

Maybe it's because I have property, plant and equipment and non-accelerated depreciation methods on the brain instead...aren't you jealous of my life?

Memorial Day

Kohl's t-shirt; Target skirt; Thrifted shoes.

There's just something about blue flats...I'm pretty sure everyone should own a pair. You can't even consider this particular shade of blue a neutral, but somehow they go with everything.

Anyway, I hope you had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! I spend it studying (surprise, surprise), but I also squeezed in a movie (The Hangover 2), and as many ribs, hotdogs and hamburgers (Don't you love summer food?) as I could.

Those fake pearls and their tricks..

Target button-down and heels; Thrifted skirt; American Eagle necklace.

This may look like a well-thought out outfit, but that's just the (fake) pearls playing tricks on you. In truth, I grabbed my trusty chambray shirt and paired it with the first skirt* I saw in my closet. Add some neutral shoes, the aforementioned necklace, a high bun, and I was out the door in less than 30 minutes.

Not bad, right? Especially for someone whose brain is pretty fried these days...

*Anyway, I also have a quick question. I've been liking longer skirts lately but I'm debating hemming this skirt to right above my knees, what do you think?

Black and white and studying all over.

Banana Republic shirt; Dillards (junior's section) blazer; Gap (thrifted) shorts; Thrifted shoes and purse.

I don't have much to say about this outfit except that these shorts go up to my belly-button, and so they're really not very cute if I don't have a longer shirt on. Luckily for you guys though, I do.

The only other news I have is that I've been studying for the CPA exam for two days now, and my brain already feels full. This can't be a good sign.

Graduation (again)

This weekend my little brother graduated from high school! I'm such a proud older sister.

It does make me feel old though, it seems like just yesterday he was graduating from Kindergarten. (I'd also like to point out I was also taller than him then)

Steven

Tell me he's not the cutest thing in a cap and gown you've ever seen.

Anyway, congratulations Steven! You are the coolest (and most stylish) 18 year old I know. Good luck!
