I'm back from abroad! The days sure did fly by, but at the same time, I'm also glad to be back home. Nothing beats sleeping in my own bed... and a Chick-fil-A peach milkshake (the first meal we ate since landing). I took close to 1000 photos on the trip, so hopefully I'll finish weeding through them in the next couple of weeks, then write up an accompanying post. For now, back to our usual programming -- outfit posts!

Gahh! I had already written a post, but was too finger-happy with keyboard shortcuts that I accidentally wiped everything out. Then Blogger's quick auto-save function confirmed that all was lost. Unfortunately that meant I lost the link to the image of an adorable little boy that I used as today's outfit inspiration :( He was wearing a gray hoodie sweater, a blue plaid shirt, white tee, and khaki-colored cargo pants. A text description just isn't the same as an actual image, huh? Sigh. But yeah, today's outfit is my tomboy-ish version of his.

Today's outfit is inspired by a photo found on Pinterest (I much prefer to credit the original source, but can't seem to find the link). The theme is light blue on navy with the addition of a scarf. I chose casual brown sandals to round out the look. As someone who mostly wears neutral colored shoes, I was surprised to realize that the only brown pair of shoes I owned prior to this summer were a pair of booties. I'm so glad I went out and bought brown summer sandals this year because I sure have worn them enough to get my money's worth!

I'm on a roll with posts this week. The last time I blogged so often was probably during my 30x30 day. Pats self on back. Let's see if I can keep this up. Anywho, have a great weekend, everyone!

Spring means I can finally dust off the cobwebs from my linen pants. They're the only white pants I own, so until I find the perfect pair of white jeans, these will be on constant repeat.

Today's outfit consists of staples from my closet: button-up, turtleneck, jeans, and flats. They're all simple and classic pieces that can be thrown on without much thought.

Inspired by this photo, I was all set to swap out the denim jacket for my chambray shirt. However, I hadn't counted on the shirt hem being longer than the blazer, therefore making the outfit look sloppier than I'd like. With three layers on top of one another, each shorter than the previous, the combination just looked odd. One piece had to go, so the chambray shirt it was.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
