Anyway, my weekend was pretty great!! Friday was beautiful, and my good friend Leanne's birthday. She and I and my boyfriend went to see Shrek 4 to celebrate. Friday I also wore my dark teal Old Navy flip flops pictured here:
I love this color. It's so cute, and I wore my blue plaid shorts with them, and my dark teal tank top. Yeah, I like to match, what of it? These were a new purchase this summer, I was so excited when I saw them. I have light teal ones that I got last summer which I also love, but these were darker and bright and fun.
Saturday was also very good. My boyfriend and I slept in super late and lounged around in our pjs for hours. I finally got dressed in my jersey knit navy blue sundress from Old Navy. Probably THE most comfortable sundress ever! The material is so soft and comfy and it's not too short, but not so long that I get swallowed up. And it's got girly ruffles at the top across the neckline and a little keyhole to show off a little cleavage. Anyway, since I was wearing navy blue, I clearly needed my navy blue flip flops. These babies are acutally from Wal*Mart. A purchase of this spring when my gray Old Navy ones broke. As I was getting out of my car. To meet a friend for lunch. Yeah, that was obnoxious! So, I had to go over to Wally World and get a new pair. And I found these navy blue ones and those matched my outfit, so I grabbed them. I also dyed my hair for the first time in over a year, on Saturday. Blonde. I think I look better as a blonde. It's not like Christina Aguilera blonde, but it's pretty and actually looks pretty natural. In fact, my coworkers never even said anything today when they saw me. But, whatever. Also, Saturday night we went to Orange, my hometown, which is celebrating it's bicentennial this year! Woo! And at my old high school there was a little summer fest type thing with a band concert (my mom and aunt and uncles and cousin all play in the band) and then fireworks. That was a lot of fun. I love fireworks. It was going to get colder at night so I changed from my sundress to jean capris and a navy blue polo. I love polos. They're so versatile. But, I digress... anyway, here are the navy blue ones of Saturday.
Sunday was pretty great too. Again, we slept in nice and late and lounged around for pretty much the whole morning. The boy went to Subway to get lunch around 12:30ish and when he came back he started complaining about how crazy hot it was outside and how we should go swimming in the pool. Which, conveniently, is right across the driveway of our apartment complex from our apartment. So, we could scope out whether there were tons of other people there or not. There weren't so I slathered the SPF 30 onto my pasty skin and put on my new emerald green bathing suit (another Old Navy treasure) and we headed over. Clearly, since my bathing suit was a lovely dark green I had to wear my green flip flops. Of course, I did wear my white eyelet cover-up dress over my suit. So, we swam for a good hour or so and then I decided to lay out for a while and read/work on my tan. And he went back inside to study his Spanish homework. He's taking all four levels of Spanish this summer to fulfill graduation requirements. Sunday, was also my baby sister's 23rd birthday! Before we went over to go swimming I had to give her a call and chat with her to wish her a very happy birthday. She was in the process of searching for a new birthday outfit to wear out to dinner that night with her boyfriend and his family.
When I got back to the apartment we discussed what we should do for the evening. I had a whole chicken that I had bought to make for our anniversary back at the end of May, but it got put in the freezer because I decided I didn't want to cook that night, so I'd taken that out to thaw, thinking I'd make it on Sunday. But, we decided to go to Applebee's because on Sunday nights they do Trivia. It's really fun, and we usually go with about 4-10 people. It changes every week who goes. So, the chicken got put back into the fridge until Monday. We showered and got dressed for Trivia. In keeping with the same shoes all day, I opted for a short green skirt with little light yellow polka dots (Old Navy, yet again) and a bright yellow tank top from Express with a white ribbed tank over it and of course the green flops. Here are the green ones:
I really hope that showing each pair on isn't weirding anyone out. I mean, I think I have relatively cute feet, but I know some people have issues with feet, and therefore may not want to see my feet, whether or not they're in shoes. But, I think seeing a shoe on a foot gives a MUCH better idea of how it looks on. Does that even make sense? Who knows...
Moving right along... Today, is Monday. The beginning of week two of my challenge. I decided to go for heels today. Gray dress pants, cream colored shirt with swirly like colors on it. It's from NY&Co, and it's cute. I just can't describe it very well. And my brown/cream peep-toe heels that have little gold buckles on them. They are the fruit of an especially successful online shopping spree a la Target that I had about two or so years ago. That spree included my polka dot heels which I wore with a matching dress to the boy's older sister's wedding. And my sigh-worthy red patent-leather peep-toe heels. But, I'm not here to talk about how the red ones almost make me go weak in the knees.
The flip flops all weekend, were clearly comfortable and easy to walk in, but the brown ones from today, not quite as comfy. They kind of squish my toes together, which is fine, that's what high heeled shoes normally do. But, to walk around in them it kind of pinches and isn't really all that comfortable. I'm glad I didn't have to walk around too much with them. Also, the heel guard things that I put in ALL of my high heeled shoes to help keep my feet from popping out in the back, are different in this pair than in my other ones, so they're kind of falling apart. I should really pull those out and put in a pair of the ones that work better. Also, after work I had to stop over at the grocery store because we had practically ZERO fruit or salad fixings in the house and since both the boy and I are working on eating healthier, fruits and veggies are sometimes pretty helpful. And walking all over the grocery store wasn't really the best idea in those heels. My toes still hurt a little, but not too much. Not enough to discourage me from wearing a different pair of heels tomorrow.
Enjoy!
