Weekend Recap: Life's What You Make It

I was determined to have a fantastic weekend and nothing would stop me.

Turns out, if you want something enough you can totally get it.

In a nutshell my weekend... new friends, old friends, secret twitter accounts, vintage shopping, pub crawl, watching the sunrise, church, family, sunshine, ice cold drinks, movies, and picnics.

All of this wrapped tightly around one day of work that ended an hour early. Win!

If words aren't enough... pictures will help

As you may be guessing... this is me right now. Writing my weekend recap while it's still the weekend, totally cheating right? It's worth the risk. Plus, work is calling my name at 5am tomorrow and I have X-Men in an hour to catch. I hope you had a fantastic weekend...

My fun for the sun and good luck charm

[Editor's Note: I am not sure how in the world I forgot to post this last Friday... but I did.]

Since I knew that I was going to be locked inside for the two nicest days Portland has seen all year, I decided to show you my go to fun-in-the-sun outfit.

This shirt/dress use to be a modest-with-tights-dress until I shrunk it and it became a semi-scandalous-dress. But last September I was in San Diego and getting ready to go on what is known as the second best date of my life when a lightbulb hit me to pair it with shorts. Problem solved! I still got the cuteness of the dress but still appropriate to play in the sun.

I am not sure if it is because that date was so much fun or because I just really like this dress, but this outfit has become one of my favorites.

Now NW Sun, please come out and let me wear it again!
