New Shoes

I have been looking everywhere for flat, dressy sandals. Heels are cute and all, but sometimes my feet just need a break. I finally found these very low wedge sandals on sale at Belk. T-strap sandals have always been a favorite of mine and these patent leather beauties make any dress instantly classy. Here is an outfit I wore for church this weekend. I played my violin so there was a lot of running on and off stage and I'm happy to report I didn't have to think about my feet.

The cat seems to recognize and approve of this skirt. :-) (Second picture is from a year ago.)

I HATE the fact that I haven't had time to blog lately. Okay...since April. That is what the last semester of grad school does to a person. I'm not sure how many of you actually read this blog but be assured I will be posting VERY regularly as soon as my thesis is turned in. The good news is I passed my final oral exam and am now truly in the final stretch of this incredible journey. A journey I have been blessed to experience but one that I'm ready to be over!

Two weeks ago I went to the Outer Banks with my family for the first time. It was lovely. Here are some beach-friendly outfits. Very simple and classic. I'm looking forward to posting some fancier summer outfits soon. Target, Ross, and Marshalls have been good to me this summer!

 

I wore this during our day in the van headed to the beach. I wanted to experiment with pairing a graphic t-shirt with my new Ann Taylor cardigan I found on sale.

This is on the porch of our friends' beach house. I am very in to the Nautical theme this summer. Notice the anchor head wrap and sand dollar pendant. :-)

Wore this for a quick trip to some local souvenir shops.
