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.

Is this blazer ablaze, or what?! Man, I crack myself up. I also can’t stop, won’t stop with my love of “rorange” this summer. This blazer is red enough that I think it counts as repping the ol’ red, white, and blue just in time for the Olympics.

Is everyone enjoying the Olympics so far? It’s crazy how fast these people can swim. And I bet it’s even faster than it looks on TV. I wish I could go to the pool with Michael Phelps just to get a true sense of how fast he is. I’m pretty sure he would get to the other end and back, and I would still be standing by the edge. Granted, that’s because I would be pouring a margarita. I mean, you can’t go the pool without a pool-appropriate beverage, right? Right. So by the time I prepped, poured, and sipped my marg, got in the pool 2 inches at a time, and swam halfway across, Michael would’ve burned 1000 calories and I would feel like a complete joke. Still, I think it would be a cool experience. I’m going to go ahead and start carb loading in preparation.
