a floppy hat

I made just a couple key purchases for our honeymoon at the beach, and boy am I glad I did. I felt like a glowing newlywed who was spending the day lounging at the beach in style, and sometimes it just makes you feel even better to look the part. Before our trip, I really wanted a big floppy beach hat, and seriously, money well spent. It was one of the top 5 most awesome I have ever felt in my life. Here are some of my beach essentials:

Nice, breezy linen shirt for a cover-up
Colorful shorts
Sunglasses
Big beach hat
Tinted moisturizer with sunscreen (skincare is no joke)
Kindle (I usually like real books for the beach, but I needed to pack light)

I really want to wear my hat to work, so people don’t bug me as often. :)

too long?

I have always stayed away from long dresses, since I am super tiny, and I thought they would made me look even shorter. Is that even true? Anyway, I love how long dresses look so effortlessly cool and put together. I want a whole closet of them for summer.

today’s find

This only comes in kid sizes, but I think its true for adults too. (found here)

(kinda) new clothes

Every weekend, I say that I am going to hem these 4 pairs of pants (because I am tiny). Yesterday, I finally sat down and did it. There is something very freeing about changing up clothes, probably because it feels like you shouldn’t be cutting or sewing them. I even hemmed some bright pink-orange pants with turquoise thread.

But wait for the best part! I found a pair of pants that the cut was a little out of style, but the top still fit great. So I cut them into jean shorts! Most gratifying project I have done in a long time, since it was 75 degrees and sunny yesterday, so I got to wear them while we ran a couple errands in the afternoon.

My 6-year-old self really wants to decorate them with puff paint, like the awesome shorts I had back in the day…
