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.

I don’t know about you guys, but I still find gifts special even when I pick them out myself. On my birthday, I asked Kristin to take me shopping and let me pick out something at J. Crew. I had a few things in mind, tried them all on and did a mini fashion show, then Kristin helped me pick out what I should get! She picked this skirt, and I must say she has excellent taste. I mean, I do look pretty adorable in it. 😉

Even though this skirt was far from a surprise, I will always remember it was a gift from my favorite human (if only because I just wrote a blog post about it). Just like the human, the skirt is fun, playful, colorful, and perfect for every season! And yes, I will take that as a personal challenge to remix this skirt for fall, winter, and spring. Stay tuned.
