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.

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.

Four For You

Four for you, Glen Coco. You go, Glen Coco! Though I think I'd only give this outfit a two-- it was one of those that worked out better in my head, but I didn't have time to get back into my closet and figure something else out. I got told I looked twelve, which was not fun (it's been awhile). At least the outfit looks okay in pictures.

Fun fact: My "On Wednesdays We Wear Pink" shirt that I almost didn't get? It's because I decided to buy this one instead.

I'm getting sick of this construction, though. They tell me some days they'll be in my apartment, but then they come in other days they don't warn me. I've just been keeping my bed out of the way so I don't have to move it, but this puts it in the way of the closet. Unfortunately, I have no clue how long this entire process is supposed to take. They gave us a timeline a month or so ago, but then they got started late so it's anybody's guess as to when they'll actually finish. I don't think they've been in my apartment at all this week, though, so I may move my bed at least a little further out.

Other than that, there's not much going on here. There usually never is I'm boring like that. Today at work seemed to drag on a bit, but the week is officially half over and next week's a short week because of the 4th of July. That reminds me, I've got to start planning. I love nothing quite like a good theme, and I could probably figure out enough patriotic outfits to last me all week.

Easy Breezy

Today was a good day because I got free ice cream, courtesy of Ben & Jerry's. But now I'm home and I feel like I have a ton to do before I leave tomorrow. I'm also starting to get super stressed because of transportation. 

It doesn't matter how I'm getting somewhere, I will stress like crazy until I'm actually on the bus/train/plane. And then I'll stress a little bit more because what if I got on the wrong bus? But then after a little bit I can fiiiinally relax. And by this time tomorrow I'll be with my friends in Portland, and this time in two days  I'll be waiting to hear Ed Sheeran. So I guess I'll put up with the stress for now.

I'm going to try to take enough pictures that I can do a little recap post of my trip next week, but if I don't, just know Ed Sheeran is amazing. I went to his concert last summer with the same friends, and I didn't think I could love him anymore, but then I did. I imagine Saturday will have a similar effect.

This outfit is pretty simple, but it was easy and I liked the way it ended up looking. It's funny, because I have a love hate relationship with this shirt. Sometimes I absolutely love the way it looks, and other times I'm just like, 'Remind me why I like this again?' Today obviously fell into the first category.

Procrastinating aside, it's time to figure out what to pack. I think it's supposed to be pretty nice out while I'm there, but I need to check. I have my concert outfit picked out, but that's about it. If I don't get pictures, I'll have to recreate it at some point for you because if it looks anything like it does in my head, it's going to be adorable.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

Could I really wear any other shirt today? It's so fetch. I almost didn't buy this shirt because I wasn't sure I wanted to commit to a shirt that I would only wear once a week, but I kept wishing that I had it so I ended up going back the next weekend to pick it up. And I am so glad that I did. Because really, why wouldn't you want this shirt?

Funny story about these jeans: they're actually the cropped style. I know, right? The inseam is embarrassingly short, but they were on sale and they're the perfect length for ankle jeans. I think that cropped jeans really are the way to go for me. Even 'short' styles of normal jeans are usually too long, and cropped jeans are all either perfect ankle or normal-length jeans. #shortgirlproblems

The other day I heard a couple of girls in the bathroom at work complaining about being short and they were like 5'4" aka completely average height. As someone who's just shy of 5'1" I was a little annoyed, to say the least. Like I would love to have those extra inches. So anyways. You can't sit with us.

Today's photos were a little bit trickier than yesterday's, mostly because I couldn't use the front facing camera on my phone or my shirt would be backwards. The way my phone was propped up, it made figuring out where I was in the frame a little difficult and it reflected in the pictures.

I have to move all my furniture by Friday so that they can do a little bit of construction in my apartment, so I may try and rearrange a bit to get a more clean area for photos. Or, at the very least, I'll try to make sure that when I put things back random items like fans aren't in the way...

With all that cleaning and furniture moving going on, tomorrow is going to busy. Luckily, I can leave half an hour later than normal and get home an hour earlier. And I don't have to take the bus. Win, win, and win.

I promise I tried to keep the quotes to a minimum. Kind of.
