Leavenworth, WA

Over the Fourth of July weekend, I went to Leavenworth with my family. For those of you who don't know, Leavenworth is a picture perfect Bavarian-themed town located in the mountains in Central Washington.

We spent the weekend alternating between exploring the shops and trying not to melt from the 100 degree temperatures. Instead of rambling about the specifics of what we did, I thought I'd just share the pictures I took while we were exploring.

Their flower game is on point.

The prettiest sign.

My favorite series of shops.

Note: We didn't actually stay here, they just had a pretty sign.

Isn't Leavenworth gorgeous? I highly recommend visiting if you're ever in the area. 

Feeling indecisive.

Crop Top: Target. Shorts: Old Navy. Shoes: Toms (via Nordstrom)

As a side note, the outfit above is what I actually wore on the Fourth. It took me over an hour to decide. There was a lot of bugging my mom, and consulting with friends (which would be when I took the photo of my options above). Fortunately, I have very patient family and friends, who put up with how indecisive I am.

Patriotic Railroad Worker

So, when I first tried these shortalls (shorteralls?) on, I texted my friend McKenna a picture for her opinion. Accompanying the picture, I said something along the lines of, "I feel like a patriotic railroad worker." She assured me they were cute. Still undecided, I took it to Twitter and Instagram. I didn't get many comments but I didn't get any nos either, so I bought them. 

I wore them for the first time last Sunday for the drive back from Leavenworth. I also paired them with a crop top that I bought a few months ago, but haven't gotten a chance to wear yet. I love it, but I don't actually own much that goes with it. Gotta love those pesky details. 

Unfortunately, I had to change out of them almost as soon as I got done taking these pictures. I'd only been home for half an hour (I hadn't even really sat down yet) and they were already covered in cat hair. It appears that I need to get better at dehairing my life whenever white denim is involved.

As a sidenote, I did take a few pictures while we were in Leavenworth-- I plan on posting them sometime next week, so stay tuned! The whole town is so photogenic and picturesque, it just looks like one big postcard.

I did also plan on showing you the outfit I wore on Friday for the drive out and our first day there, but unfortunately the photos turned out too dark for editing to salvage. I have no doubt I'll wear the same outfit again (it's so comfy, it's basically like pajamas) so I'll have to be sure to get better pictures next time I wear it.

Shortalls: Target. Crop Top: Target. Sandals: Fred Meyer.

That's about it for now! Now that the weather is cooling down a few degrees and getting closer to normal Washington summer weather, I should start posting more outfits again. We either tied or broke the record for most days over 90 in a row (it was five) which is insane and way too hot. I've pretty much been wearing the same few outfits over and over again, so posting them wouldn't have been too terribly exciting. With cooler weather should hopefully come a bit of variety, though.

Happy Fourth of July!

Just popping in to wish you all a happy Fourth of July! There won't be any fireworks where I'm at due to the wildfire hazard, so I wanted to share some of the pictures I took last year at the big Seattle fireworks show over Lake Union.

I hope everyone has a great holiday!

Stars and Stripes

I felt kiiind of like an American flag today, but we decided celebrate Theme Friday a day early and obviously the theme had to be America. So I put on my best stars and stripes, and called it good. This scene came to mind.

I really like this outfit, but this shirt is super silky and it kept slipping down. Unfortunately the tank top under slipped a lot too, so there was a lot of adjusting and making sure I was fully covered going on today at work. 

I'm still not totally sure what I want to wear on the Fourth, but I figured I'll just pack all my red, white, and blue (and stars and stripes) and I'd figure it out from there. Maybe not the most efficient way to pack.

That being said, I should probably pack. In twelve hours we'll be on our way east, and I haven't even started.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Tank Top: Alley Kat. Skirt: Fred Meyer. Toms: Nordstrom.

Sorry about how dark the pictures are! I tried to lighten them as much as possible without making them looked too washed out, but they're definitely still on the dark side.
