Lazy weekend

We had a wonderfully lazy weekend: we went to the farmer's market on Saturday morning, then out to see Brave in the afternoon, and wound up the day at home eating bowls full of berries from the market while watching part of season four of Burn Notice. And on Sunday after church we took Onyx out to my parents' house and spent the afternoon barbecue-ing, swimming and lounging around. I have a stressful two weeks ahead of me, so it was nice to have this relaxing weekend to gather my wits about me.

This was my outfit from church on Sunday. It wasn't much different from the last time I wore this dress (here), but when it's ninety degrees outside it's hard to care much about variety. (And in case you're wondering, I only wore the cardigan indoors. And for these photos, obviously!)

Here are a few extra photos from my lovely weekend!

Bouquets at the farmer's market - I'm always so tempted to buy them, especially when they're only $10!

Onyx likes to eat raspberries right off the bush...

Gold shimmer

I was drawn to this gold dress at H&M because of its shimmer. Though I'm always willing to wear wild shoes or bright colors, things that shimmer and shine and sparkle usually confuse me - I never know how to style them. But this dress was so pretty that I bought it anyway, and wore it with simple accessories out to my birthday dinner with some friends on Saturday. (We went to Urban Fondue, which was amazing. Josh and I shared the brie and gorgonzola fondue, and I had a coconut mojito - I recommend both.) Almost immediately after leaving the restaurant, I had four strangers compliment me on my dress, and one told me that it made me look like Marilyn Monroe. Thank you, citizens of Portland, for boosting my self-esteem and validating my purchase.
