hearts and zigzags and polkas OH MY!
My birthday was this week, so I treated my self to a little "Happy Birthday to Me!" shopping spree. One of the things I purchased was this great blouse from my friends over at Piperlime (seriously, love those guys.) It's a lovely blouse, lightweight, cutie-patootie print, and a tie neck (gets me everytime!). I also love that it'll be a perfect tranistional piece from hot summer days to crisp autumn nights.

I kissed a girl... Giraffe that is.
I've missed you all! After a long 3 weeks off, I'm back at home. I had so many amazing adventures, case in point, Marilyn the Giraffe! I can't wait to share some of my adventures with you and of course get back into the swing of sharing my daily fashion desires with you all.
Hope everyone is having a safe and fun summer thus far!

Early Summer Date Night
After hanging out with some of my Blogger BFF's at Violet Boutique's Lookbook party and talking about how I just don't wear shorts, my tall blogger buddy Waverly (who was featured twice recently on Refinery29 DC!) gave my a little boost in confidance. I decided I should just be brave and DO IT! Kind of ironic that shorts scare me and dying my hair green is a walk in the park, but in my defense my legs are really long and REALLY pale. It's alot to share with the world.

Adventures in Dressing Rooms, Kmart!
Today's trip to Kmart was for nail polish remover, but you know me, I just can't resist trying on some clothing! Here's what I tried and what I thought...
I really liked this dress. It's a lightweight and 100% cotton, great for summertime. Obviously you'd need a racer back bra for it (I'm so ill prepared!) but other than that super easy to wear. I would totally pair it up with some fun wedges and big gold jewelry.
The next two outfits really were for experimentation sake. Let's face it, I'm too old to pull off these looks as is, but the elements separately could work!
This outfit doesn't work for me but I do very much like it. I have a reeeeeeaaaaaaally long torso, so the cropped top with the low rise shorts just looks wrong on me. On someone with more average proportions it would be very sweet. As you can see, the top is sheer, so you'll need a cami or at least not a purple bra. Ha!
Love the Southwest design on this top. I tried it in an XL because I like the loose open neck look. Plus this way it covers my belly completely. The shorts shockingly fit well! I picked them up as a joke, something to try for giggles. I would have never guessed that they would cover my butt completely and actually be comfortable.
This dress was so comfy. Sadly it was too short for my 6'0 frame, but I would recommend it for anyone not as giantess as me. I very much like the low back and the elastic straps were quite comfortable. Also the cups are padded so you don't have to worry about getting *ahem* chilly. Might even be fun as a maternity dress!
Each time I go to Kmart I am more and more surprised at how much I like. Do you shop Kmart? What do you think?
