Happy Friday, everyone. Did you all have a good 4th yesterday? Full of eating hotdogs and lighting things on fire? Hopefully those things were just fireworks.

Well, here’s what I wore for yesterday’s festivities. I’m not really into overly patriotic dressing, but I did make at least a small attempt to dress the part for Fourth of July. I pinned this outfit from Kim back in May because I loved the mix of stripes, denim, and a pleated skirt. My only pleated skirt is yellow, but I added red back in with shoes and lipstick. I also added a flower in my hair…because there are a lot of flowers…in…America. So there ya go: red, white, and blue. And yellow and flowers.

I have to give this particular outfit pin some extra props for making me wear my vest buttoned at the top and with a necklace under the collar. At first I was skeptical. I figured the bottom of the vest would flare out too much and make my hips look oddly wide. It happens to the best of us, right ladies? But I was pleasantly surprised that it looked great!

And you know what else is looking great? The newest blogger trying the Pin to Real Life challenge, Talk and Tea Leaves.

Hey guys! What do you think of my new house?!

Juuuuust kidding. Still in the good ol’ apartment. But said apartment is quite close to a public park, which is where this old house sits. So I can walk around it and pretend it’s mine. Then I can go back to my place where I don’t have to worry about mowing a lawn. It’s a win-win, really.

Moving on to the good stuff: Here we are at day 3 of the Pin to Real Life challenge! I have E to thank for putting together this awesome mix of white, yellow, mint, and metallic. I pinned her outfit a couple months ago, but at the time I didn’t have a white button-up.

I know, right? Who doesn’t have a white button-up? Well, I didn’t until about a week ago. Then I had everything I needed to recreate this look. I do wish I could have tucked my shirt in like E did, but it just looked lumpy under my pencil skirt. So consider this E: Untucked.

Once again, I’m excited to share some links for other bloggers who are trying the Pin to Real Life challenge! It’s not too late to join in!
