Yes, I am this white. I still have healing bug bites from vacation #1 and then got covered in more during vacation #2. This has basically meant that any attempt at self-tanning is out of the question right now. Today was just a mall day but I tried.

This is my very first pair of Anthro shoes. Shoe buying is an arduous process for me after going through surgery in November, as well-documented here. I figured these were fairly safe since there is no heel/toe pinching potential involved. I was surprised that the footbed is actually somewhat padded so they are fairly comfortable. Hooray, after yesterday's wedge disappointment.

Yesterday when I needed to run errands, I decided to make a half-hearted attempted to look like a grown-up. Now, it was 100 degrees and I was DEFINITELY wearing shorts and a tank, but I decided it wouldn't take that much extra time to make it a nice tank and throw on some accessories. These shoes were actually free from Zappos because of a shipping error, but unfortunately my feet are blistered today and I didn't even wear them for that long :( I guess they are going to Goodwill. I went on a slight shoe binge over the past couple of days. I've received two pairs so far (keepers, I think) and four more are on their way. Gulp. Damn you Piperlime, and your tag sale!

*These lasted about 5 minutes before I changed into flip-flops. Truth in advertising.

And so here it is. The last batch of real clothing that I will wear until about August. Honestly by the time summer ends, I'm actually itching for school to start again so I have a reason to get dressed. Even the last few days of school it was all crops/ts/flip-flops, which I obviously didn't bother capturing on film (disc? memory card?) I might dress up a couple times while we are on vacation. So other than that, I will be probably be pretty silent around here!

And so here is my dirty secret. Bass Pro (yes, the fishing/hunting/outdoor store) is a surprisingly good place to pick up casual basics. I buy my shorts there almost exclusively- they are affordable, well-made, and here is the most important part, LONG ENOUGH WITHOUT BEING OLD LADY SHORTS! This particular line, Bob Timberlake, also has anthro-esque separates occasionally. I could not resist this embroidered chambray skirt.

Not much to say about this. I match. I really love this skirt!

This was one of those days where I had a totally different outfit laid out and then when I put it on, it did noooot work. I felt very "meh" about this combo on the hangers, but then it totally worked when I put it on. Go accessories!

Sandals- unknown origin

I spent a lot of time this weekend involved in depilation, exfoliation, and pigmentation. Which is a fancy way of saying I removed a lot of hair, scrubbed myself raw, and applied coats and coats of self-tanner. I now feel somewhat more prepared to face the 90s + temperatures that swept in this weekend. This pretty much means that summer weather is upon us- once we get back-to-back days of 90s, we don't slide back into cooler temps. I am now down to only needing 14 more outfits, but really, about half of those I can dress pretty slobby. It is making sticking to a shopping ban a little more palatable though, because even if I was buying stuff I wouldn't really get a chance to wear any of it!

I have not felt like photographing much lately. #1- I have a giant zit. It really isn't showing up here, but it is hard to feel snazzy when your face looks like an 8th grade boy. #2- I have no excuse for my whitey whiteness. I don't tan, but I have just been plain lazy about putting on self-tanner. #3- I am shopping my closet and taking May off of shopping (Thanks, Kim) and I'm a touch bored with most of what I own.
