I SEE HOW IT IS

Good morning, Knuckles!

True story: while we were taking these photos, I was like Come on, Mr. Brass Knuckles, the angle is all off!  Make my legs look longer!

And he quietly replied, That is a tall order.

A tall order!  Funny in multiple ways, right?!  Hilarballs, that Mr. Brass Knuckles!  (Incidentally, I am 5'2").

A SHOPPING PRO, EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO SWIMSUITS

Good morning Knuckles!

It's pretty obvious that I love to shop; I find it both fun and relaxing.  I can't really relate to women who don't like to shop, except on one occasion: SHOPPING FOR SWIMSUITS. Shopping for swimsuits is stressful.  It is even more stressful when you haven't bought a swimsuit in over 10 years, and since then you've had two kids.

Knowing the beach/pool are in my future this summer, I headed to Macy's to find a suit.  

The only thing worse about swimsuit shopping is when you walk into the section and a middle-aged salesman walks over and says, "Hello Miss!  Are you looking for something in particular?"  It is so embarrassing when old men say "Hello Miss!" 

I didn't want to openly cringe because he was genuinely trying to be helpful.  In fact, he started pointing to different styles, asking "Are you looking for a one-piece?  Two-piece?  Padded?  Cups?"  He pulled out a bunch of suits that I would never wear in a million years, and I could just feel the blood rush to my face and droplets of pure BO stream out of my pits. 

Anyhow, after an uncomfortable hour or so, I ended up buying the swimsuit below.  It's exactly what I was looking for, and it was on sale!

1) Cult Gaia Bardot Headwrap

2) Prada Minimal Baroque Sunglasses

3) DKNY Shirred Swim Dress

4) Moyna Hello Malibu Woven Tote

5) Keds for Kate Spade Lace Up Oxford Sneakers

I really love the rest of this outfit, particularly the turban.  And aren't the sneakers adorable?

I just realized this is my 100th post!  Wow.  Thanks for reading, everyone! 

Have a great weekend!

GOING FOR BROKE

Good morning Knuckles!

Since I went to college in California, sadly for me most of my closest friends are on the West Coast.  In a few weeks, however, I'm meeting a few of them in Las Vegas for our annual girls' getaway.

I am so looking forward to a poolside weekend filled with cocktails, great company, and summery outfits:

Have a great weekend, Knuckles!
