Mint and Leopard

The explosion of mint colored denim throughout all the style blogs I read makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to come up with a unique way of styling them.

However, everyone knows that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I'll just flatter a ton of people.

I don't wear hats to the office. (I would definitely get made fun of.) But I threw the fedora on before the outfit photos, and I have to say, it totally makes the look for me.

I might not necessarily recommend climbing on rocks in heels, but they do make a nice backdrop and you know how I'm always striving to look like I belong in a J.Crew catalog...

It definitely feels more like summer now, complete with tons of mosquitoes at the beach in the evening. I was eaten alive! Time to start keeping some repellent in the car.

White linen

Even though I have no regard for style 'rules' there just seems to be something so perfect about kicking off the summer season in a pair of white linen shorts.

Ice cream run

Since it's summer now, walking to the center of town for ice cream shall be a regular occurrence. It's important that you walk and not drive, because there are at least 500 calories in a small serving of Phish Food...

So when I was getting dressed I thought that it was my idea to pair a rust colored top with these ikat shorts, but then I realized it was just my subconscious remembering something I'd seen in a J.Crew catalog last week.
But at least I can still take credit for the brilliant bag pairing -- a newly thrifted Coach!
I believe it's the City Bag, and I love the dual tone. So pretty.

I'm finally wearing my fun new little skirt, and I played things pretty safe with one of my favorite yellow tops and gold accessories.

If I look a little awkward in these photos, it's because half a dozen people were about five feet to my right.
