Coffee buzz




Blazer: H&M Top: Forever 21 Jeans: Macy's Necklace: c/o Ara Nicole Shoes: Nine West

I have a feeling that no matter how much I promise I'm going to crank out 4 or 5 outfit posts a week this summer, I'm just going to have a hard time keeping that promise. Because for most of this summer so far, I've spent many of my days covered in sweat from a workout, or running around without make-up on, or wearing the same pair of shorts again & again with an uninspiring t-shirt, or I'm laying by the pool in clothes so scant that no one wants me to post it on the blog, I'm sure.

There was something about fall, winter & spring that makes me want to blog more. I think I know what it is: freezing cold temperatures that make me hate the outdoors and force me to stay in and indulge in my one indoor hobby: blogging. But in the summer, it's too easy to spend my time shopping, laying by the pool, working out outside, biking, etc. It's hard to stay concerned about a blog when summer is here.

But I'm not abandoning ship! No way, Jose! I'm sticking it out this summer, and posting whatever strange mix of outfits I find myself in this summer. I just have a feeling my post frequency will pick up a lot once it stops being so beautiful outside.

Speaking of beautiful weather: these photos were taken when the weather was not being so beautiful. I don't know about all of you, but us Michigander's have been experiencing so. much. freakin'. rain. It's really annoying. Especially when your job involves you driving around half the state, showing houses. So this outfit happened on one of those days, when the weather was not sunny or stifling hot. I recently purchased this top as part of a pajama set at Forever 21, but I've just been wearing the top as a normal top because it's so comfortable and if there's one thing I love, it's sneaking pajamas into real outfits. :)

PS: Don't mind the creepy veins all over my hands. I've recently switched up my workout routine with a personal trainer and let's just say, the results are showing. Everywhere. Even in my hands. Say hello to Lynette's new man hands. It's fine.

  4. OH GIRL SHUSH! You do not have veiny hands but you are LOOKING AMAZING, seriously amazing! I mean you already did, but you go girl! And this is such a cute top! I love that you are wearing a PJ top as a shirt :) I'm sorry you've had so much rain... it was that way in May but luckily it has been pretty nice! And I feel the same way about blogging in the summer. I just want to sit outside, be outside in any way shape or form! And I want to throw on my swimsuit when I get home from work and lay out, not take pictures of my work outfit haha :)

  9. I love the inside lining of your blazer. I know it really wouldn't be seen in daily wear, but I just like cool patterned linings!

  21. I must get this tank! When I switched over to Bloglovin, somehow your blog didn't come with me and I just realized I've been missing it! Problem remedied.
