Off to Vacation

I'll miss posting, but hopefully I'll have some pics to post (fashionable or not) when I return!

Before I go, I wandered into the Gap the other day and this beauty greeted me:


I was mostly deterred by the $64 dollar price tag, and the length is a little iffy (I'm a pretty petite 5'2" so this would probably hit below the knee..

There is a skirt too, but I didnt think it was as cute:

Anyways, a few pics of inspiration while I'm gone...

Sound good guys? Think I need anything else? And I dont really have anything to pack it into, which sucks. I'll probably use an old backpack for lack of cute luggage.

Packing...

So this weekend I'm going on vacation, and while I don't have beautiful vintage suitcases like these to pack with (although I Wish I did) I'm still having a packing dilemma.

My vacation will be 2 days in Portland hanging with the boy and his friends. I'm think I want mostly casual stuff, but possible a few looks that can be transformed into "night" looks too. And then we are spending 2 weeks at his families beach house. So a swimsuit and some light clothing.

Any suggestions?/Ideas?/Advice? I'll post a list once I make one (Its my goal for work today, I think, to work on this list.)

If only my AA dress would get here before then! (I doubt it, I've heard AA is notoriously slow to ship)

You can get away with shorter hemlines when its hot, right?

What I'm wearing to go grab some food and maybe wander around shopping. We'll see where the day takes me...

Dress: Express

Sandals: Ross

Flower: Wal-mart craft section. I popped the flower off, put it on a bobby pin.

Is this too short? I'm comforted by the fact its longer than my shorts...so it should be fine, yes?

Pretty, pretty. [Click to make the images bigger]

Motivated to put a cute outfit together,

Everyone's doing it...

So I don't live near an American Apparel. And everyone always wears their clothes and looks happy and wonderful and I'm left out. Not anymore, I finally ordered this!!



Plus, I got 20% off... (use the promotion code: SHOPNOW08E)

Now I'm looking all over at the cute ways to wear it and dreaming of the things I'll try :)

Happy and 40 dollars less in her pocket,
Andrea

The bombs bursting in air

So this is what I wore yesterday for a BBQ with lots of delicious food, swimming, and funny stories and games.



Sorry the pictures arent the best, I took them in a hurry....

Tank: Target
Skirt: TJ Maxx
Flip Flops: Payless

Not the most creative outfit, but it was cute and functional for the day!
