Outfitted: Chevron

Hi everyone! Yesterday was surprisingly cool, the wind was blowing, and it was actually quite chilly in more shaded areas. As usual, with days like this I was deceived by the intense amounts of sunshine pouring through my window and thought it was gloriously warm outside. Oh Chicago, you would decide to drop into the 60′s right after it officially became summer.

So this shirt is actually a dress, a very short dress that I’ve decided works better as a loose fitting top. If you stop and stare and the chevron print for too long you may go a little cross-eyed as it creates a weird optical illusion, but it is a nice break from all the stripes I have in my closet. I seriously have way too many articles of clothing (and shoes! Exhibit A – the ones on my feet) with stripes on them, it’s becoming a problem.

My hair is super fluffy today as I’m rocking a 3-day old twist out. This past Friday night I wound up sitting on my couch watching Bridesmaids and twisting my hair. I don’t know why I always feel like doing something to my hair on random nights at 11p knowing it’s going to take me a couple of hours to finish (I have so much hair, ya’ll it’s not even funny.) But I haven’t done anything past wash-n-go’s in so long it’s nice to have something different to wake up to in the morning (though it looks nothing like this when I first wake up, haha!) 

Lots of random thoughts today, thanks for sticking with me and reading them! Haha! Hope everyone has a great day!
‘Till Next Time…

    I like the Chevrons and shorts :)   I’m in Erie PA and our weather was very similar, but I will say hardly ever is the temperature at that perfect point to wear a long sleeved top with shorts, at least around here! It’s either cold or hot, so I’ve been loving the opportunity to work in some layers myself. I feel you about the hair projects late at night too. Maybe it’s a girl thing ;)

    Chicago weather is always throwing me for a loop, only two days ago it was in the 60s and today it’s going to be 90, so ridiculous, haha! Maybe late night hair projects are totally a girl thing? Too much going on during the day, haha :)

    Thanks for commenting!
