Lost at sea

dress: H&M | shoes & headband: ModCloth | belt: thrifted


 What's this? Bare legs?? Yes, it's true, but this is definitely a rare event. In this way, I'm very much like Zooey Deschanel, who I believe once described tights as her security blanket. I'm right with you there, Zooey! So barring another sweltering Michigan summer, I'm sure I'll still find a way to incorporate tights into my outfits.

There was definitely no way I could wear tights on this day, however: our Memorial Day was a hot and humid one. I spent most of the day staying cool inside (and in the dark of a theater, watching the Hunger Games for the second time...) but Chris and I did make time to head over to Grand River Park to snap some photos and dip our feet in the lovely cool water. I've still only been there a handful of times, but that park has become one of my favorite spots in the area. I'm eager to scout out some pretty new locations (my coworker found a park that she described as a "fairy land!") but I know I'll be returning here often.




These days, life has me smiling. I feel like, in many ways, I'm really starting to get control of my life. This may sound really nerdy, but I'm going to start budgeting this month - and I'm actually really excited about it. I'm eager to shed my debt and start planning for my future! I've also started a workout routine, and after a month, I can proudly say that I've stuck with it. It's truly amazing how much better I feel when I get moving. I definitely have more bounce in my step...it's true what they say about endorphins! Finally, I've also started seeing a chiropractor in an attempt to get rid of my near-daily headaches. I've been really happy with it so far, so we'll see...



Good things are also happening for this blog! This week or next, hopefully, I'll be doing a redesign of the layout featuring some of Chris's artwork. I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I can't wait. I'll also have to dream up some yummy new Dressipes...

What's making you smile these days?
