I know everyone was worried that I didn’t yet have a sweatshirt with pom pom trim. Random French words, 3D flowers, embroidery…yes. But pom-pom trim…no. Worry no more, my friends. I’m all set.

And what better occasion to wear a festive yet casual top than a Friday off work spent with my lovely parental units? We started out the 3-day weekend strong with a fantastic brunch at Milktooth (I had the carrot cake waffle and some kind of magical espresso drink with cardamom), then took a nice walk along the canal. After that intense leisure time, we all needed an afternoon nap before going out for dinner and show.

I’ll look back fondly on this time last week as I slave away this weekend to make up for those lost hours! Happy Friday to all.

I was having a great hair day, and then I went outside for 3 minutes and it turned simultaneously fluffy and limp (how does that even happen?). I usually try not to complain about the humidity in Indiana because I grew up in North Carolina, which is way worse. But when I was a kid, I didn’t put in 20 minutes of effort into creating effortless looking waves in my hair. Limpyfluff aside, I did really like this outfit. I combined two of my favorite summer things (gingham and eyelet) with two more fall-ish suede accessories. I really think this Augustember thing is going to catch on.
