Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone is having a great morning and enjoying their long weekend!

I made my weekly trip downtown to the farmer's market and to get breakfast this lovely morning. It's bright and sunny here but kind of chilly in the shade. My parents went to Mackinac Island today and asked me if I would pick up some asparagus at the farmer's market (which I said I would gladly do). I also grabbed some honey. We used to have a huge thing of it that we got from someone local, but I haven't been able to find that anywhere and I've been dying for honey. My allergies have hit and I'm hoping this helps a little. I know you're really supposed to start eating the local honey a few months before your allergies start, but I've been putting off purchasing some in case I managed to find the stuff we already had. Oh well.

There's a ton of people in town this weekend for the holiday and for the Bayshore Marathon. It was really busy downtown (which was good) but I'm not ready for full on tourist season yet. I like having peaceful Saturdays when I don't have to wait in line to get coffee or miss out on pastries. Unfortunately, by the time I made it to the farmer's market this morning (at 10:15), the cream cheese pastry that I love (and was longing for) were all sold out (sad times). I ended up going to get a muffin from The Green House Cafe. I was lucky to be getting my muffin to go because there was quite a line in there too.

Lastly, here's a shot of my outfit today (ignore my unmade bed in the background). The flannel shirt is from American Eagle (quite a few years old), the black jeans are also from AE but they're newer, and the t shirt is one of my favorites from Urban Outfitters (which is also old) that says "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Easter Outfit of the Day

After church yesterday I wanted to change into something more comfortable (I was wearing a dress and forgot to take a picture of it). 

Ignore my unmade bed and low picture quality.

I was excited to wear my new spring top from Kohl's, which was much better than my typical jeans and a t-shirt default.

Top: ELLE Splatter Ruffled Crepe Top
Jeans: Jeggings from American Eagle
Sweater: I've had this for several years. Here's something similar.

Let me know if you guys want to see more outfits of the day.

Outfit of the Day

There's nothing too special about my outfit today but I really love everything I'm wearing, so I thought I'd share.

I am absolutely in love with this sweater I got from Madewell when I was in Atlanta. It's light weight, perfect for cooler days in the summer or, I can imagine, layering in the fall/winter months. The sweater is also baggy and so, so comfortable. The fabric is slightly see through, so I opted for a white cami underneath. My jeans are from back when I worked at GAP Outlet two summers ago. They're destroyed flares and one of the most comfortable pairs of jeans I own; they're also unfortunately wearing out in the inner thighs, so who knows how much longer they'll last.

The Secret to Looking Like You Dressed Up in 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Purchase some sort of wrap dress (I got mine at American Apparel a few years ago. Mine is also black, which helps.)

Step 2: Put the dress on and tie in a flattering manner.

Step 3: If your house is a wee bit chilly today throw on a comfy, yet stylish, sweater you have laying around.

 Step 4: Take your hair out of the bun you typically throw it into and let it do its thing.

Step 5: Finish up with your favorite lipstick/stain/gloss. (Or use the new Showoff aka Apocalips from Rimmel London you just bought today. I used the Luna shade and I am absolutely in love with it!)

My dad, my brother, and my brother's girlfriend all asked in various ways why I was dressed up today. In reality I grabbed what was the easiest thing I could think of to wear and didn't do a whole lot else. Honestly I left the house to run to Starbucks and then Walgreens for the lip glosses and that's been about it. The rest of my day has been spent watching Youtube videos, reading blogs, eating, and watching more Elementary. I live a simple and mostly boring life people... there's not much to it.
