These pictures are from about a month ago. Anthony and I actually found some time together and wandered a few blocks to the beach. The weather lately has been so back and forth but this turned out to be a beautiful day and I decided to pair a floral dress (that is too short for me to comfortablly wear on my own) with a longer navy skirt. What I love most about this skirt is that it has a subtle flower pattern on it and I loved combining it with this goldenrod yellow belt. The combination of colors and floral patterns made me feel feminine. I have been nannying a lot which means that I don't have many opportunities to dress how I want, although I have considered posting some outfit photos about how to still look put together while watching children for a living. There are definitely limitations to outfits when it comes to chasing 1 year olds around a playground but I think sometimes I find just the right balance. Rompers are definitely helpful in this category.

Today is another lovely day (we've had a few of these in a row!). I am hoping to get some pictures of today's outfit which is a comfy blue dress from Target and a couple of vintage accessories I've acquired over the past week. I am a HUGE fan of thrifting lately and have had the wonderful experience of going to the Vintage Bazaar. Gotta love Chicago. And Sunday I plan on stopping by the Vintage Garage event. I love clothes with a story and I can't help but love looking through mounds of clothes and finding a gem.

On the theatre side of my life, the show I am stage managing goes in to Tech week on Monday! It is a devised theatre piece using the themes and character archetypes of Anton Chekov plays. The cast and director are all uber talented and it has been so nice to be openly welcomed into this tight knit group. Devised theatre is also near and dear to my heart (I miss my Mirror, Mirror ladies) and it is great to be a part of that kind of process again.

Ok, enough of my word vomit. Next time I will try and stick with one topic, or keep my stream of consciousness to a minimum.

Go out and enjoy the day!
