Summer Day Dreams // Daily Outfit







One of the things I love about working retail is getting days off during the week. Hardly anyone else is out at those times, and since my family is busy with school/work I get the whole day to myself. Days like this are heaven sometimes. I get all dressed up, run some errands, take photos, and work on my blog. Basically I get everything done that I want to get done.

I've been feeling really great, lately. It's so nice to have some time to worry about myself without bending over backwards trying to apease other people. It's a great feeling to be able to go through life without worring that someone will be judging me because of the skirt I wore; or dropping what I wanted to do/planned on doing so I won't get yelled at later on. Basically, it's really nice to have a little less drama in life. 

In other news, what do you all think of my new skirt, bracelet and necklace? The skirt is from Shabby Apple via the gift certificate I recived from the giveaway over at Bubby and Bean's last mont. I was so excited! This was the first time I've ever won a blog giveaway. It really is the little things in life. *winks*

The bracelet is from the lovely people over at Fleet for participating in their Found by Fleet contest. It was a really unexpected surprise, and even though I'm not a huge fan of silver, I really like this piece! (Is it possible that silver is gowing on me!?)

And as for the necklace, well that's just a little something I picked up at one of the antique stores on Mother's Day for a mear $3. I swear this is the fourth time in a row I've gone to the same little antique store and walked out with another piece of jewelery. They have the best stuff + prices!

  3. Days off during the week ARE absolute heaven. I get Wednesdays off and it's definitely one of my favorite days because of it. I love that nowhere is really busy and that I get a me day in the middle of the work week to just relax and do things that matter to me like take pictures, sleep in, adventure, make food, go shopping, etc. It's the best!

  4. I love the skirt and your shoes are amazing! The black and white photo with the color left in the shoes is so cool. Winning giveaways is just about the best little thing ever! Glad you got to enjoy a mid week day off :)
    Hope you're having a great day!

  7. I got that bracelet from Fleet too when I won in October's contest! Yey! I also just posted (a couple days ago) a photoset of me in the same skirt that I won from a giveaway but you wear it sooooo much better than me with those cool heels, matching belt, and all. I'm so plain! Amazing outfit!! Bravo!!!
