Last Day

This is my last day of work. As of tomorrow, I’ll be unemployed!


Blouse, Maeve (consignment). Pants, Polo Ralph Lauren. Shoes, Seychelles. Sunglasses, Marc Jacobs. Earrings, Francesca’s Closet. Necklace, handmade gift. Bag, Nordstrom Rack.


Stay tuned for my plans for the next few months. I’ll give you a clue: it has nothing to do with dogs. (Sad face.)


Oh, and one more clue: I'm not going full-time blogger.

Pant

I probably spend way too much time considering hypothetical situations. For instance, what if humans panted instead of sweated to cool off? My front would be covered in foamy slobber on a day like today.


Dress, Parker (consignment). Shoes, Katie & Kelly. Sunglasses, Coco Sunglasses. Earrings, Charming Charlie. Bralette, Victoria’s Secret. Tote, Nordstrom Rack.


The temps weren’t that horrible by the time Jasper’s 8 pm agility class started. He hardly panted at all. I think I still got sweaty, though.

Super Dork

I’m super dorky. I’ll never be chic or sophisticated or polished. But I think those things are kind of boring, anyway.


Dress, Under Skies (consignment). Sneakers, Vans. Sunglasses, Girlprops. Earrings, California State Fair. Bag, Nordstrom Rack.

Being dorky gives me energy. I took these photos at 7:30 pm after working a super long day in the 100+ degree heat. I was dragging as the dogs followed me to our picture spot in the backyard. Once I grabbed a prop, though, the dorkiness took over.

Pinkbrow

I’m not sure if I should be proud of my reading list for the summer. My book bin isn’t full of romance novels, but it isn’t all Greek classics and philosophy, either. It’s a mix of science, self-discovery, history, and adventure. Not a highbrow selection, but not lowbrow, either.

My summer sabbatical (and book reading) starts in early July. For now, I’m just pinkbrow.


Dress, Equipment. Shoes, Nine West. Earrings, Stardust Remembered. Necklace, thrifted. Sunglasses, Coco Sunglasses. Bag, Aldo.


The book bin is filling up!

Beastly

Don’t you love the word “beastly?” It’s an informal British term for “very unpleasant.” This heat is certainly beastly. It was 100 degrees today.


Dress, Ella Moss. Dress (worn as a slip), Roundy Bay (thrifted). Belt, thrifted. Shoes, Linea Paolo. Sunglasses, Coco Sunglasses. Earrings, Super Silver. Bag, Croft & Barrow.


It was a cool 88 degrees by the time Jasper’s agility class started. He won a Beastie Bar and didn’t think it was beastly, at all.

Blue Steel

I applied some Ocean Storm (a temporary blue) to my hair Monday afternoon, but I would call the resulting color Steel Blue.


Dress, Prabal Gurung for Target. Scarf (worn as a belt), TJ Maxx. Shoes, BCBG Paris. Sunglasses, Toms. Earrings, flea market. Bag, SheBobo.


The intensity of the blue really depends on the light. In the (blue) morning light, I had almost smurf hair:


I wanted to dye it on Sunday afternoon so that I’d have blue hair for the Memorial Day dog agility trial, but I ran out of time. I just had to get my blue fix from the THREE BLUE RIBBONS Jasper won in the Novice class.


Remember when I said I was going to be all classy and subtle about my patriotic gear this summer? Well, I was a total liar.

Bad Breakfast

After bragging about my good breakfasts, I have to admit to falling off the wagon this week. I haven’t been to the grocery store in over a week and I’m still finding my groove after vacation. At least the bad breakfasts aren’t showing . . . yet.


Shirt, Forever 21. Shorts, Lassie. Shoes, Miss Me. Hat, Milani. Sunglasses and bag, Target. Tassel pendant, Epcot Morocco. Arrowhead pendants, thrifted.


Today’s breakfast was Donut Time. It was delicious.
