So, despite totally wanting to wear all things fall, it's simply not fall yet. And despite having three days of rainy cool-ness, it's simply not chilly out anymore. So even though I wanted to wear jeans, boots, and a cozy sweater, I decided to try and put together a very summery outfit. For some reason, blue and white feel, to me anyway, like the perfect warm weather color combination. Also, I apologize for my angsty facial expressions in these photos. It wasn't intentional, it's just that generally when unattended my facial expression comes off a bit... depressed, rather than the neutral it's meant to be. Oof!

So, counterproductively, I purchased the best ugly sweater ever (or it's close, at least). Seriously, it's way better fitted for the rug on the floor of a log cabin 10 years ago. In my (weak) defense, it was drastically reduced (I can't figure out who in their right or wrong mind would pay 65 dollars for it). I want so badly to wear it, so despite tomorrow's predicted eighty degree temperatures, I may just have to show it off, completely ignoring the first paragraph of this post. Oh well! Also, I got my Toms in the mail today! They're so comfortable and I can't wait to wear them all the time.
Now, I'm off to try and figure out my class schedule for next year and which teachers I want to interview with. Wish me luck!
Until tomorrow,
Nicole
i love this outfit! it's so summery! i too am frustrated with this hot weather. i desperately want to go back into tights and layers. i have run out of summer outfits! i can't wait to see your ugly sweater and your toms :)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see this log cabin rug sweater you're talking about! :D Sounds fun! I've always wanted a pair of Toms but haven't justified spending around $60 for a pair of canvas shoes. Back in the day when they were just $30-$40 I could have done it, but I don't understand why they are up-ing their prices these days - does it cost more to send shoes to Africa than it did a couple years ago? $20 more?
ReplyDeleteAnyways (I totally had no intention about making this comment about TOMS) I love how you always have something fun and girly in your outfits. Today its that adorable bow!
I was going to get Toms for my birthday, but I decided on a new cell phone instead haha. I almost kind of regret it hearing you talk about it :) I loveeee your shoes so much in this post, they are gorgeous! I would wear those constantly :) Also, adorable skirt!
ReplyDeleteYou look so darn beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes! I've been wanting shoes that tie in the middle like that for awhile, but I couldn't afford any. So, I just started wearing my tap shoes - which ended up being perfect! I really like the color of yours though. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit Nicole, it definitely is very Summery.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are not alone, I have been longing for Fall as well; but we are still having hot Summer days. Oh well, just have to keep waiting.
Oh and Good Luck!
