Took a little trip to Talkeetna again this weekend. I've been going up every weekend, haha! It's nice though. I was kind of reluctant to go this weekend, I kinda just wanted to relax in town but once I got up there I had fun and was glad I went. I actually took my camera card with my camera this time so I got some cool photos of pə-ˈrād playing a show and Mt. McKinley in the sunset. I'll post those in the near future.
This top is actually a bathing suit! I like looking at my closet without preconceptions. I mean, if a bathing suit looks cute as a top, why just leave it sitting there for those few times of year when you go swimming? I probably only go swimming 5 times a year at most. Comes with living in Alaska, I suppose.

Yesterday after I got home from Talkeetna, my Dad and I went out to see if we could fix the heater and radio on the Brave, and guess what! We fixed both! It was so cool to feel it warm up in there and to have the radio on! Now I need to get one of those iPod FM adapter things so I can listen to unlimited tunes on the road! I'm traveling in luxury now. I also got some of those 3M sticky hangy things to hang up art! And I totally decided on which throw pillows to get. Mmmm! She's so pretty! I promise, interior tour video is on its way.
I believe I get a four day weekend this week because of Memorial Day, so I'm trying to decide what to do. I mean, going up to Talkeetna is an option, but I'm also thinking of taking my first for-reals camping trip in the Brave. I could go to Talkeetna for said camping, but I kinda want to go somewhere else. The road to Talkeetna is torn up in places and I'm not a fan of Brave + gravel roads. Too much bouncing around and vibration. Perhaps I'll go south. Decisions, decisions!

I used to wear this bathing tank top from a 'tankini' (the term sounds so gross,) to school every week and my friends would make fun of me and my teachers would sometimes make inappropriately salacious jokes but I didn't care and I loved wearing it! So i love your bathing suit top and skirt combination and I love hearing about Brave updates :)

lol how creative with the suit! I used to wear one of my suit tops as a regular top (it was a longer one, it looked like a bandana only longer) I wish it still had it.
Woot! For more Brave trips! I am looking forward to your video and congrats on getting everything fixed :)
I just LOVE the outfit; that skirt is gorgeous!! And the lighting in these pictures is marvelous. I think your weekend plans sound awesome!
Ireally love your style miss!
love the outfit, and waiting for the video tour of the Brave! Exciting!!
i never would have known that that top is a bathing suit. The outfit is lovely!
I am excited for the interior tour. You have such wonderful taste, so I'm sure the inside of the Brave is going to be amazing.
i love how that bathing suit goes so well with that skirt, it's perfect! :)
you know what's funny? Yesterday I did the same thing. strapless one piece polka dot bathing suit = really cut with top. It was my plan all along when buying a one piece for the summer. no need to do sit ups and it doubles as a top.
great minds think alike ;)

that top is a bathing suit?! no way! it definitely doesn't look like it. great job styling!
p.s, i STILL love your hair! the color is amazing in these pictures.

That is a great idea to use a swimsuit as a top! I may not be in Alaska but I am in Illinois and sometimes it seems like Alaska! We only get maybe a month and half of warm weather then it quickly get chilly! So I have to be pretty inventive with summer clothing for other seasons.
great colors, from head2toe!

I love your skirt! So pretty!
Also, can't wait to see what you do with the inside of the brave!
I cannot wait for a tour of your baby!
Swimsuit as a top? Brilliant much!?!
I love looking outside the box when you get dressed, it makes the experience so much more enjoyable!
Wow! Such a great idea to wear your bathing suit as a top! I'll have to remember that one! (Tho when you go to the ladies room isn't it a bit...annoying?) That skirt I love...and I usually don't like patterns! It looks so good on you with the old English Spice-style necklace;-)

Hi! I'd just like to say that you are really inspiring. I love your refreshing attitude to blogging, fashion, writing, and the way you're not at all afraid to follow your dreams! You definitely deserve all the great things that will happen to you!
cant wait to see the video tour of inside the brave!! im currently savin up for a VW camper..but your making me change my mind and want something bigger! :)
Ohhh I'm so excited for a Brave tour!!!
I wear my one-piece bathing suit as a top/bodysuit fairly often during the Summer. You never know when you're going to have to break out in swim!
I bet you'd spruce up that Brave real awesome! Would it be too redundant to post pictures of the Brave inside the Brave? Haha
Camping sounds fun. You should take the Brave out on her maiden voyage.

I love love love this look!!! So great! You look awesome! I really like how you used a swimsuit! What a great idea! Oh and you have some pretty bad ass hair by the way!

I can't wait for more Brave posts! This top is totally cute and you have a good point on this bathing suit idea. Some bathing suits are just too darn cute and comfy yet I've never dared to wear them out. Maybe I'll get the courage this summer!
Look how green it is there! Yay for spring!
I saw a Brave today! I've never seen one before, but then I also never thought about them before you mentioned it.
Oh! The skirt! I'm melting, melllllting...
Ah! I cannot wait to see the video tour! And this outfit.. amazing! Tall Ships would love your necklace ;)
I'm loving your hair and this outfit. You look so beautiful!
LOVE this outfit! and it's so nice seeing some green in the background, too! ;)
I think driving in the kenai peninsula would be magical in the brave... That area is so beautiful :)
I tried the swimsuit as a top a little while ago, never did I pull it off as well as you!
I love love LOVE that you used a swimsuit as your top!! I'm officially inspired.... :)
beautiful top, adore the necklace.
