Stares and stripes

*Bloglovin’ * Facebook * Twitter

I know what you’re thinking when you look at this first photo. It’s not true. I tripped. I fell down the stairs. It was my fault – Uh, I better stop before I start to offend someone. Actually, I went white water rafting over the weekend and water is stronger than it looks.

Rapids + fair skin = Lots of questions and stares about my boyfriend bruises.

I’ll share some camping style photos next week. It’s really not that different than how I normally dress, give or take some flannel.

Hey, look a DIY. Kind of. This vest was originally a jean jacket. I got all crafty and ripped the arms off to make it a vest. That was about a year ago and I finally got around to wearing it.

I look unreasonably sad in these photos. That’s just my face though. I swear that I am a happy person!

How cute are these shorts? I am loving patterned bottoms lately and these shorts have a nautical feeling that’s perfect for summer. They’ve also got that pajama trend going on for them too. I might live in this outfit for the next couple of months.

And hey, I literally just realized I mix prints here! Like literally, as I was typing this post. I’m a little slow sometimes. First time print mixer right here y’all!

Oh hi, Ugly Mug Photography.

. Can I just tell you how much he puts up with when taking all my pictures? It is not a fun job. But he get’s the displeasure of being my personal bitch photographer. I’m just a tad picky, and stubborn, and resistant to try new things. Just being honest, he’s kind of, sort of, really awesome.

This is me dressing inappropriately. Scandalous, I know.

Can you tell how exhausted I was from the weekend in this picture? Utterly. So much so, I had to sit down. See below. True story.

    • Don’t be scared, it’s so much fun! As long as you follow the guide’s directions, you will stay in the raft. And if you don’t have a guide, then the rapids aren’t at a level that should overturn your raft.

  14. Great summer outfit! I love your shorts & vest.
    I’ve been eying a similar denim vest from Levi’s… & I think I’m finally going to buy it.

  20. Nice outfit and you have great hair! Thank you for commenting on my blog 🙂

    Sometimes, when I read your blog…I get sad that we don’t live in the same city. But then I realize that I would never know you with out the internet… and it kind of bridges that gap. But really, I feel as if we have so much in common. The sarcasm for one… Also the fact that I ALWAYS look angry but in actuality I am a perfect mix of Quinn and Daria (from the 90s series… Daria) So.. basically a happy and well adjusted person. Anyway…. thanks for the inspiration, always love savoring your blog!
