Belated patriotism

This is the outfit I probably would have worn on the 4th of July if I had actually felt well enough to leave my couch. Instead, I wore it on the 5th. Close enough.

White sweater vest: thrifted

Strawberry print flats: Asos

Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta from TJ Maxx
White necklace: H&M

Here's a gratuitous photo of Mr. Onyx snoozing on the bed in the afternoon...

...and one of my new piano!

Summertime

Outfit photos have been a rather hurried affair this week. Every day so far Josh has worked his regular eight hours, plus six or seven hours in the evening. So while we get to eat lunch and dinner together, we've hardly seen each other besides that, and that never leaves time for walking to a pretty location for photos and taking our time getting them just right. Instead, we run outside, snap about forty of them in five minutes, and I have to be satisfied with whatever we get. At least we only have a few more weeks of this crazy work schedule of his, and I can't complain about the overtime pay!

Since Portland nearly reached 80 degrees yesterday, I wore the summeriest things I could find - a lightweight dress, a shirt knotted at the waist, gold sandals, and my straw bag. I kind of felt like I was dressed for a day at the beach.

Blue and white dress: thrifted

White blouse: free from my aunt

Gold sandals: Asos

Straw purse: thrifted

White flower necklace: purchased in Oahu
