Since there are some new faces around I wanted to share a little bit more about me, and hope you find some humor or feel a little more connected! I am also sharing one of my favorite outfits to date.. this adorable ruffly polka dot wrap dress. Without further ado, here goes!
1.Growing up, my hair grew in a proverbial triangle–it was so thick! It was very poofy and wavy, and my hair stylist would have to use those heavy duty thinning shears every time I got my hair cut… does anyone remember those?? No flat iron in the world (pre Chi days) would get it straight enough! And now it is board straight—no flat iron required whatsoever, and won’t hold a curl. Living near the water most of my life pretty comical considering how the air down here just sucks all the curl out in one swift blow.
2. It physically pains me to ride in a slow-moving car.. maybe it’s from living in Houston, TX for a while. Or my type A personality.
3. I have kept my closet color-coded and organized by sleeve length for as long as I can remember. When you want a black top isn’t it just easier to have all of them in front of you?
4. I am the best multi-tasker I know. I can talk on the phone, while sending a text, and cooking…and folding laundry. And the house does not go up in flames.
5. I will jump on any opportunity to travel somewhere new. I am a make-it-happen type of person, in every aspect of my life, and I firmly believe travel enriches the soul.
6. I make a point to go to local coffee shops over a Starbucks any day, especially when I’m some place new. Flavored lattes give me so much life!
7. I love to be by the water, preferably a beach over a lake, even though I have a huge phobia of the deep, dark, ocean. It’s still my favorite place to be.
8. I absolutely despise a loud tv. Cringe worthy.
9. I don’t like gum. Never have. As early as a kid I’d eat the sucker off of a blow pop then give the rest to my sister. Gross, this I know.
10.) I can’t stand when someone doesn’t turn right on red. Again, refer to #2.
Now quickly about the outfit! This last picture is so funny to me. I was trying to get a shot of twirling in this dress, and this is the last shot aka not the best, right before my camera died. Oh well, I wanted to include it here to keep up with the theme of funny things about me, and this “bad” shot fits right in. This dress is from Romwe.com, which is very similar to Shein.com, which I’ve written about here. Check this post out if you want to get a little more info. about how to shop the site! This dress is “one-size” which fits a small and up to a medium. The wrap/tie detail make it adjustable to those sizes. The length is perfect for shorter girls (I’m 5’5″), with a pair of block heels, and it also goes so well with some flat sandals! I can’t get enough of tassel earrings this summer and these are an absolute steal! Last, these sunglasses are a designer dupe, and I’m pretty obsessed with them. I’ve been wearing them everyday, and they’re only $16!!
