Fancy Free

Summer is coming faster than I'd like to believe.  I'm used to always being cold (seriously, I wear a cardigan everywhere) so having bare arms out in the open makes me feel a little self conscious.  It's been months since I've indulged in my yoga workouts and the lack of sun salutations has gotten the best of me.  Although I did get back on the yoga train a few days ago and it was quite embarrassing.  Thankfully, I was doing yoga from home so the only ones snickering at my awful flexibility was my two dogs.

A Little Different

The hound sleuth dress has made its return!  I actually wear this dress a lot in real life but know I can't actually feature it on a weekly basis.  If you read my first post when I featured it, you'll know that it has a very special place in my closet.  I'm excited to show you how I now style it for the warmer months (and boy are they coming!).

Mike and Alayna's Save the Dates

I'm so very excited to share with you a few shots from my brother Michael and his fiance Alayna's save the date photo shoot.  We chose Fryman Canyon as our location because they often hike here on weekends.  Sometimes we go as a group, but getting Kevin up before 9am on a Sunday is kind of impossible!  Anyway, the shoot was short and sweet and I feel like we got a bunch of great shots.  I even have some amazing embarrassing ones, but I wouldn't dare post them on here :).  I hope you enjoy!

Special thanks to Jessica of Midwest Muse for helping me edit some of these photos.  While I still have tons more to edit (I'm kinda slow) I think these are my favorite ones!

Let's Slowly Fade Away

I have this tiny obsession with making my fancy dresses "okay" for everyday wear.  While I have it under control now, I used to buy dresses just because they were cute (and especially if they were at a great price).  I never had buyer's remorse but I did end up with a couple closets filled with dresses that collected dust.  I don't get to go to that many fancy outings these days so now I've just figured a way to make them more functional.

Minty Fresh

 I hate to complain on here, but exhaustion has completely taken over my life.  Any time spent away from work has been on the couch.  When you have two cuddly chihuahuas and a DVR full of shows that need catching up on, it's really hard to do anything else.  I wish I had some vacation on the horizon, but our new home will be our vacation for a long long time.  I've said this so many times but being an adult is pretty hard sometimes!   Okay, enough with the whining, I'm here to show you my new favorite outfit!
