Ahoy!

How awesome is this dress?! It's a sailor dress with pockets and a full skirt that flies up in the perfect way when you twirl in it. What's not to love? Plus, it was a very special gift given to me that I greatly appreciate from the bottom of my heart. Of course, this dress called for a beachy/boardwalk type of location. I really liked this boardwalk. The beach was alright, but it was so humid when we took these that I didn't want to stay any longer than I had to.

The humidity seems to have finally broken and the temperatures have been cooler lately. Yesterday it was only in the 60s! It felt like fall. I was actually cold in my dress and sweater and I considered wearing tights! Tights in July? Whaaaaaat?! New England, you be so crazy.

I'm having a cookout on Sunday with a bunch of friends and I'm really hoping that the weather is ok for it. I tried to have one last summer, but only about 8 people showed up out of the many I invited. I really wanted this year to be amazing, so I planned it way in advance to make sure people could get the day off and not have any prior engagements. And now it's saying there might be thunderstorms. Le sigh. I'm going to punch the weather in its face if it rains on my cookout!

Dress: Hell Bunny//Shoes: Payless//Sunglasses: Lucky Brand

Lately I've been feeling sort of anti-social. I'm not really sure what it is. I don't know if it's the stress from school making me feel all anxious and in a bad mood or if it's just a phase I'm going through. It seems like I'm just always tired and content watching Netflix or something every night. On my days off I like to do things, but for the most part I'm exhausted and don't want to be around a lot of people in my free time. It could be the introversion of needing me time. Maybe I just require more lower-functioning me time lately? Who knows. I kind of feel like I've fallen off the grid with some people, but I just have other things going on in my head that are taking up my energy. It happens.

Things just got real for a minute there. Anyway...this is a happy dress, and I assure you that I'm not miserable or hate people. I just have my phases and problems and moods sometimes like everyone else. I think the weather affects a lot, too. It keeps raining and being overcast and muggy and that's no fun. I want clear skies, good air, and a bright sun. I know I'll eventually get out of my funk. Here's to hoping August brings some better weather!
