Stripes and Pleats

Sunday evening errand running. It's so hot this tomboy has resorted to wearing skirts. You can look forward to more of this type of look (especially since I bought a bunch of long skirts back when maxis were the latest and greatest).

How do you like my topknot?

Hi-ya!!

Loving my white toes!



My No Fail Look

Guess what I have for you today....

Cardi: Old Navy, Tank: Alloy, Twill Pants: F21, Necklace: F21

That's right, an outfit post!! I call this my no fail look because I don't think you can every go wrong with jeans/pants, a tank, and a cardi. It's simple, but it's also an effortless way to look put together when you are short on time (or in my case short on sleep after working last night). On another note, I think I have a slight obsession with the Skinny Twill Pant from Forever 21. I currently own the navy, yellow, khaki, turquoise, mint, pink, grey, and black (red, orange, and teal are on the way). Once I find an item that I like, I tend to purchase it in every color. For instance, I own this tank in black, white, blue, purple, green, yellow, and red stripe. I have this cardi in black, purple, pink, green, and sea foam green. And I know that if I catch any of these items on sale, I would buy even more colors. Is that wierd?

4th of July Casual

This is my perfect 4th of July look. It's simple and casual, but the addition of the accessories elevates it beyond  your basic jean and tee look. I could see myself staying comfy and cool at the family barbecue and transitioning to the fireworks show later that evening with no problem.

Walking in my footsteps...

Anyone who knows me, knows that my love for all things softball runs deep. I come from a softball family with my mom, aunts, uncles, and a few cousins playing slow pitch every since I can remember. It was basically my destiny to pick up a bat and glove. I started playing at the age of 12, and played all through high school and college. I love the game so much that back in high school I actually played on three teams at the same time! I played for my high school team, a city summer league team, and my mom's women's league team. I know  that sounds like a lot, but I only practiced with my school team and just showed up to play for the other two teams until school let out for the summer. To this day, I still follow college and professional softball. So you can imagine how proud I am of my daughter, Ty, for taking to the sport I love so much. In a previous post I mentioned t hat she had been chosen for her league's All Star Team, so today I wanted to share some pics of her from her last tournament.

Base Hit

Check out her guns!

This girl has speed.

Rounding second base.

Stolen base!

Safe!

She even wears my college number.

This is what happens...

when I get my husband to take pics of me outside, in Alabama, in June:

Blurry, eyes closed, toes cut off...

Don't even remember what I was doing, but it's not even a full shot...

I started sweating and becoming irritated...

Clearly, I need a cool place to take pics and a tripod. The husband is officially fired!
