Adventures at the Amusement Park

On one hot summer day, with some friends and family, I went to a local amusement park-by local I mean less than two hours away. I forgot to take pictures as I had planned, but luckily my sister was on top of it. So here are a few. 
Outfit Details:
Belt: Kohl's
Necklace: Gift
Sunglasses: Borrowed from my sister

Because this park has a few water rides, I wanted to find the perfect thing to wear. And this dress,  already a staple in my closet, was just right. Before I decided on what to wear I ruled out shorts(because, well, it's me) and over half of my wardrobe quickly. I wanted something that would handle getting wet and was light. This dress was the perfect choice, it dried out quickly after getting completely soaked and was cool even in the blistering heat. Even when it was wet it didn't stick to my legs like some skirts do.

Little day trips like this are always fun, no matter how exhausting they can end up being. It had been a couple years since we last went to this amusement park, but it always managed to feel the same. Sometimes, it feels like my park. The places where many of our memories swarm often becomes our own, I think.

A Little Patchwork Dress


Outfit Details: 
Dress: Hottopic
Belt & Red tank: Kohl's
Necklace: Gift

Little dresses like this are my go to for comfort and ease. They are best for wearing on hot days when putting outfits together seems impossible. I bought this dress a couple of years ago on a whim. Before ever wearing it I shortened it a couple inches, making it a little more casual. Its first day out was to a local fair. I remember that it was steaming out, but this dress seemed to take the heat rather well. Like many of my pieces the top needs taken it, but I'm lazy and it looks good enough right now that I don't feel it's necessary.

Have a awesome weekend everyone!

Dark Lips

Outfit Details:
Shirt: Hottopic
Pants & Shoes: Kohls
Necklace: Deja Vu
Purse Charlotte Russe

A more lazy day outfit, but when fitted with some powerful lipstick it seems to take it all up a notch. Plus, as I look back on these pictures, I realize that I was having a really good hair day. Especially since I barely touched it.
