 [Dress: Thrifted;  Shoes: Zara]

I have to say, this might be my favorite post yet.

This dress is special to me not only because I found it buried in a thrift store, but also because I wore it to the Kentucky Derby in 2010.  It's probably one of the classiest numbers I own!  The shoes have their own story, too, of course.  I spotted them in Paris and knew they must immediately be mine.  

The neon.  The suede.  The platform.

GIMME GIMME GIMME.

I love mixing an older piece, like this dress, with modern, in-your-face shoes.  It keeps things fresh, ya know?

Anyway, this is another post brought to you from my new house.  Above is a peak into our living room and below is the "OFFICIAL" throw line for darts.

I feel so lucky to have found this place.

Yesterday, we watched the Curiosity Rover land on Mars.

CRAY CRAY.

Olympics...

Sooooooo, I don't know about you guys, but I've been watching the Olympics like it's my job.  The athletes are hot, the stories are inspiring and some of the sports are just weird.  I mean, since when is trampolining a sport??  I LOVE IT!

I didn't realize it when I put together this outfit, but my clothing is currently reflecting my Olympics obsession.  The stripes are a given.  When am I not wearing stripes?  But the rest of the outfit--the colors and the high/low or "mullet" hemline--screams AMERICUHHHHHH!

U.S.A. all the way.

I hope you're having a lovely day!!

P.S. THIS IS MY NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mail...

Oh, ya know, just waitin' for the mailman to arrive!!

But for real.  Sorry for the lag in blogging.  I always have so many ideas for this blog but never seem to be able to squeeze in as many photoshoots as I would like.  And then when I do find the time, I wear something weird like this gettup.  Oh well.

All my Iowa City pals will recognize these boots as I've been wearing them constantly.  I wear them to the gym, I wear them out, to the beach and pool, etc etc etc.  They are just too snazzy.

My brother's birthday is today.  Other than sending him well wishes, my only plan for the day is climbing with my boo, Ellen.

Hope you're having a fab Monday!!

Stripes...

[Shirt: Gap (Thrifted);  Jeans: Levi's;  Bling-Bling: Thrifted]

When Ellen, Amy and I went shopping the other day I found three shirts I HAD to have and go figure, they all have stripes.  This is one of those three and it was only $6.00!!!

I love the thrift stores in Iowa City.  In fact, I love almost everything about Iowa City.

Although I said I would never move back, I'm beginning to consider grad school in my little hometown.

YIKES!  I'll keep you posted.
