Before we met a few friends for dinner the other night, we went outside to enjoy (hopefully) the last balmy 100+ degree day. We were sweating profusely, but Wade captured the above shot with natural bokeh and such a dreamy feel. It's now my favorite picture he's taken. He tried to reproduce it again, but the sun had been in just the perfect spot. That's one of the things I love about photography. You can never really produce the exact same photo twice. Each picture has its own specialness, especially when you shoot outside. It's three parts talent with a shot of luck sprinkled in.
I wore this outfit for
my mom's birthday a few weeks ago, but it just seemed like the quintessential summer outfit, so I wanted to break it out one last time. I wish we had 3 day weekends all the time. You need that extra day to laze around and recuperate from the rest of the weekend. This weekend was the perfect blend of relaxing and fun that we've been craving. We watched a couple movies, played a ridiculous drinking game, and had a late night dance fest. Then we slept in and will gorge ourselves on Mexican food tonight. Ah, summer. You've come and gone way too fast. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Labor Day.

The florals, the stripes -- quintessential summer outfit indeed!
ReplyDeleteSeptember has always felt like this strange transitional month between summer and fall. When we start saying goodbye to summer even though we're currently getting a heatwave.
Today is a rest day away from sales for me. Each year, each Labor Day, they suck me in!
What beautiful photos. Something about your blog always lifts my spirits, thank you. It is the last day of the summer holidays today, so I am rather sad. But things will move on and I will find a way to be alright with everything. Hope you have a lovely week Kari.
ReplyDeleteI think the last picture is my favorite, but they are all good! Happy September which means next month I get to see you!

Profile pic! I love the mix of patterns in your outfit(s). Also, I agree summer has come and gone way too fast. Although, on the other hand, I'm not so sure it's actually gone. It's like 85 here. At the beach, no less!

I cannot get over how cute this outfit is! I love the mix of patterns and your beaded necklace that pulls everything together (gotta love Charming Charlie's!). Glad you enjoyed your three day weekend a couple weeks ago. I agree: they do need to come around more often!
