This past week has been what seems to be summer's last hurrah. Lots of sun! Next week has all sun in the forecast too, so hopefully the good times will keep on rolling in! Sunny weather always makes me want to wear really simple outfits, just a dress, shoes and maybe an accessory or two. I figure I'd better enjoy the simplicity of a sundress while I can. Soon I'll be layering up to keep warm.
I'm actually kind of bummed this dress isn't still for sale, I really like it. This one isn't in my size though, so Tieka can rest assured I won't steal it from her, haha. I'll just have to settle for this little taste of this dress.

Today is the beginning of my last full week of work. The end is near! I'm starting to sort of freak out about money. I wanted to leave with 5 grand saved up but I'm not sure I'll make that. We'll see. Hopefully New York won't drain me too much. I'm aching to change my ticket so I can go a day earlier and attend the IFB event but I'm afraid the cost of ticket change plus the tickets to IFB will be just too much.
I'm hoping the next few weeks can be really productive as far as finishing my own projects go. I feel like I always have a list of things to do on the weekend but get caught up doing a bunch of other things. This weekend my grandparents were in town, so I got roped into doing a bunch of family things. We had a family reunion on Saturday that I didn't even know was going on! Apparently it was the whole reason they were in town and somehow that information slipped past me. I was braced for the typical painful experience that is the Family Reunion, but it ended up being pretty fun and not so long and drawn out. Most of the people there I didn't even know! Since that side of my family is Alaska Native, a lot of them still live out in more rural areas of the state. I probably looked totally unrelated to all them with my fake red hair, haha! Needless to say, Alaska Natives don't have naturally red hair. Red hair runs through my mom's side of the family. I'm crossing my fingers that the red hair skipped a generation and I get a cute ginger daughter or son someday!
25 musings:

simply adorable!
lovely dress paired with a pretty boater hat is just perfect!
P.s. I'm have a giveaway for Shappy Apple! you have got to see the dress!
kisses!
Love that pic of you sitting right in front of the brave..perfection!
I'm so excited for you! Do you have a target departure date set?
My cousin has naturally bright red hair; I'm so jealous! Unfortunately, he got it from his mom's side and not his dad's, so it doesn't run in my family...darn.
you look great girl. and i totally identify with your genetic hopes! haha i like to hold on hope that i have a recessive gene for blue eyes even though it's more likely that pigs will fly.
ahh well, a girl can dream, right? and have a fabulous time in NYC!
aw, i love the dress too! too bad it's not for sale... those simple summer outfits come everyday for me since it's hot and sweaty anytime I walk out of the house-it's disgusting but a reality here in the South.
i'm also bummed about the IFB conference. Neither Annie or I could change our flights either! It sucks to think about how many people are going to have to miss it because of the date change. :/ We'll still have our share of fun though!
You always have great dresses and prints on here.

That dress looks really lovely on you, especially in the great ethereal photo surrounded by greenery.
I love these pictures. The one of you at the table with your sunglasses on is so cute!
I'm curious -- what kind of editing do you do to your photos in post production? The colors are always so pretty.
Love the dress! And the pictures are great too. Good luck with your last week of work.
I love the dress and I also dream of a ginger baby!!!!

That's always the way - you think you'll do things on the weekend and then something just pops up. Even if it's just housework it sneaks up on you. Or you look back at the end of 3 months holidays are realise you've done nothing note-worth :/
since school has started today the summer is officially over in my book. ...despite the fact that it was 92 degrees today...ick...
i can't wait to hear what you're doing when you're on the road. gonna be so exciting!

Yay for the last week of work!
By the way, I noticed on your map that you'll be going through British Columbia.
If you think you're gonna hit Vancouver, shoot me a line! I'd love to treat you to drinks or show you a cool beach or something.
I hope your last Monday at your job went splendidly.

I love this outfit on you, and this style of outfit, it's very Pippi Longstocking. Stick with the hat!
I feel your pain of last weeks at work, savings etc...am leaving my hometown to go and work for free in the big city, with no job security and no income, on my own. Freakin' terrified! But I need a shake-up.
