The Day I Protested Summer: A WIWW Post

Summer needs to go away now.

Last weeks forecast was lying.

There was no rain, unless you call a light mist while it's still 70* rain.

Last night I watched a bunch of people up north hoot and holler about the thunder and lightning while we had to sleep with the air conditioning on. 

Last week I decided to protest summer and where boots and a sweater.  It didn't really work out so well for me in the sweat department, but I felt more fall-like than usual.  

Boots: Madden Girl

Jeans: Gap

Top: This amazing store in Wisconsin that I forget the name of!

I tried to wear this fun black top, but I stepped outside to test it out and that wasn't happening. 

Please note the boots, complete with fuzzy socks that my jeans were tucked in to. 

Top: Old Navy

Jeans: Gap

Boots: Madden Girl

So I switched to a more sheer flowy shirt in hopes to keep cool.

It worked for maybe twenty minutes until I started to overheat. 

Next time I decide to protest summer I'll skip the fuzzy socks and opt for some flip flops and a cute cardi instead. 

The high for today is supposedly 64*, but I don't believe it.

I'm ready for a vacation to the Pacific North West, please :)

Linking up for What I Wore Wednesday!

Thoughts on Transitions

Good news.

It's finally cooling down here in garlic land.

It was 107* on Monday, and today the high is only 75*. I nearly jumped for joy when I saw rain the in forecast next week.

That means we are transitioning to fall, and since we are in a totally new town I have NO idea what that will be like. Some people around here talk about winter like we live in the midwest and it snows or something...which I don't think it does but I guess I'll have to check back with you in January.
--------------------------------------
Speaking of transitions, I'm experiencing one that I didn't quite expect when I got married.

A transition of wardrobe.

A couple weeks ago I noticed that my clothes just don't feel right anymore. They don't feel like they're mine, they feel too...too...I don't know, just not right.

Am I totally nuts?

Now that I'm typing it out it sounds more strange than I intended. But I'm wondering if I'm not alone in this.

Is the change you experience with marriage so drastic that even your clothes don't feel right? I definitely feel my identity has changed as a woman, but I surely did not expect my clothes to feel different.

Tell me I'm not alone. 

Luckily, I live less than 5 minutes from the Outlets, but I definitely don't want to resort to buying a new wardrobe altogether.

And not having a job yet is making buying new clothes slightly difficult. Until recently I didn't understand the full weight of being "overqualified" for a job, but that is apparently why I'm not getting hired anywhere.

BUT. In the midst of all this free time, creative energy is flowing and I'm ready to get started on some fun things, maybe a new career path? Maybe I'll save that big announcement for next week ;)

Ok off to get dressed, run errands, and avoid cleaning the house!

Happy weekend!
