So... today I have a raging headache... but at least I'm having a good hair day... I'll take it where I can. These are from Wednesday. Embracing the grandma skirt even though I'm a shorty.

 I got to see my sister-friend Kim tonight after waaaay too long of not seeing her. So we caught up over ice cream, tried to get the goats to scream at us (they didn't) and took silly photos. I love this lady so much. 

So I've been on the hunt for a new chambray shirt for a long time... a very long time. Years ago, before they were popular, I happened across one super cheap at Old Navy. It was like, $3. So I bought it. I didn't wear it for months, then, all of a sudden, I started wearing it constantly. Its now a wardrobe staple for me, but mine is slowly dying a death of a well-loved piece of clothing. I've needed to replace it for ages. 

But, hey, I'm cheap, and they cost around $25 everywhere. So I've put it off. I'm always checking at Goodwill but never came across anything that didn't have apples or snowmen embroidered on it. My mom found a cute one the other day, at Walmart of all places, so I went to get one. I didn't find the one she bought, but I did find this one. A light, soft denim color, with brass studs at the collar... I think I like it!

And that is my long tale of the Chambray shirt. Might I also add that people, some days, annoy me. I was in my yard taking my photos- yes. I had a tripod. Yes, I look sort of silly. But this guy was walking his dog, and on his phone and decided to stop RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY YARD to watch and talk on his phone. Dude, I feel goofy enough. Stop making this downright awkward. People. Gosh.

This is my absolute favorite flowering tree(shrub?) in the springtime. I've never taken the time to identify it (although I should! I used to be a flower/tree identifying nerd.) but it makes a gorgeous backdrop for photos, no?

I'm starting to think about things like packing for 8 months in Australia... what to take etc. Thinking through items that will mix, match and pack well. I think this dress may be a contender. Long, soft and super comfy, I'm pretty sure I could switch it up several different ways. (although I was definitely lazy on Wednesday with this outfit. Just a cardi, earrings and simple flats. But it was a tired day, ya know?)
