No Pahking

When: July 19, 2021 // Weather: 70 and cloudy // Real life: vacationing in Ogunquit, ME

I TOOK A VACATION! I went somewhere new, sat by the ocean, ate, drank, and only opened my laptop once in a whole week. It was glorious.

If you follow me on Instagram (which you should because my captions are snappy and I never do those annoying reels), you already know all about our trip to Maine to celebrate our 10th anniversary. This was my get-up on our first full day exploring Ogunquit and soaking up the gorgeous views (not this parking lot…I mean pahking lot) despite the clouds.

I highly recommend matching sets for travel. Wear them together one day, then split them up and wear with other basics two other days. Boom, that’s three different outfits without much thought and it conserves room in your suitcase.

You know what I love about summer in Indiana compared to summer in North Carolina (where I grew up)? Even in the middle of July, you can have a chilly evening that makes you thankful for a cozy blanket or a jacket. As long as you’re not caught unprepared for the chill, it’s so freaking lovely. On the other hand, in the NC, it gets hot in May, and your ass cheek creases stay sweaty until October. This is why I don’t understand hot yoga. I didn’t leave the South so I could pay $20 to melt.

Speaking of getting a break from the heat, I’m going to Toronto this week! I’ve never been but I’ve only heard good things. It’ll only be a couple days, and it’s work-related, but I’m excited to see a new place. If you don’t already follow me on Instagram, do it now, because it’s where I’ll document my trip, and who doesn’t love taking vicarious vacations?
