Umbrella Girl

 You wouldn't know it from these photos, but 15 minutes before I took them I was huddled in the copy room at work under a tornado warning! Since I live in the foothills, tornadoes aren't something I usually have to worry about. But in light of the recent Oklahoma tragedy, when people's phones started beeping and saying take shelter, everyone was like SHIT hit the deck!

 It was super rainy all morning, so I had originally brought the umbrella to stay dry instead of shady. But I wanted to show it off anyway, it's so cute and ruffly! I went into Target with the express intent of getting a bubble umbrella. And then I didn't.

I am pretty jazzed about this shirt. I lent out my favorite lace shirt to Flock Together, but the stupid USPS lost it. I was a little heartbroken. I went to Forever 21 for a replacement and was really in awe of the number of frickin lace shirts that place had. I went to the dressing room with 8 on my arm!
Pretty much a wardrobe staple, you can throw one on over anything and feel a little more ladylike.

I always kind of like pictures where I'm staring dumbly at the camera?

I "aww"ed at this necklace in Old Navy, and my way-too-sweet mom and sister went back and got it for me. According to Emma, it was supposed to be a birthday surprise (but I guess Mom didn't get the memo).

I'm trying to get used to Travis being in Italy, but it's kind of lame. I am really looking forward to having these next couple of weekends free, though! I've been itching to get sewing for a while now.
