Coffee Beans and Bobby Pins

Canteens and Coffee

I posted this outfit on Instagram a week ago when I wore it. While I love getting dressed up, sometimes the summer heat in Durham is just to much, not to mention, who runs errands in heels?Plus, this is just one of those easy looks I can throw on and know without even checking a mirror that all is good. Does that make sense? What do you throw on in those moments?


This bag from 3 LilyPads is a new favorite of mind simply because it’s so different than anything I’m used to carrying. I love it’s unique shape and the colors are just perfect for summer.  

 

I think I have told y’all before, but I typically don’t wear shorts. I am EXTREMELY self conscious about my legs and usually I wont even try them on. However, with the heat and feeling like I’m suffocating in jeans, I broke down this summer and actually really like this pair. Maybe it’s age, or maybe I’m just sweating all the time, but I need to just learn to love my cheerleader legs and realize they are never going to be skinny and I am never going to have a thigh gap. 🙂 And that’s okay my husband says because they are strong! (I think he just tries to make me feel better!). 


Thanks for reading! I appreciate it so much! Make sure to check out 3 Lily Pad bags! So adorable!

    What a chic all-Amerian look. Everyone needs a great pair of cutoff denim shorts, I am sharing some on my blog later today. Love these with the classic white button-down and fun gold sandals.

    Hope you had a great 4th of July, Amy!

    Take Care, Ada. =)

    I love your legs! Mine are fat on top and skinny on bottom, out of proportion. I'm always looking for a cute pair of shorts to wear on the weekends because Durham is WAY too hot. I feel like all I do is sweat. lol
    Great casual outfit!

    I'm totally with you on the shorts thing! I was so adamantly against them for so long but I think I've grown practical in my late-20s. It's just too dang hot not to wear them! I still don't love my legs in them but having a few cute pairs really helps. You're looking great in yours!
