It was my last day volunteering at a school I’ve been working at for two years, and it’s getting really chilly on the Central Coast.

You’d think the most prominent surf city on California’s Central Coast would be warmer. Not pictured: The hoodie I wore literally all day.
A note on the shorts: Though I forever have a gap at the waistline to any non-stretchy pants, these generally hold up their shape until the end of my day. That being said, these are also the highest-waisted budget-friendly shorts I’ve found. Unfortunately, they’re from Target’s last summer season, but I figure similar cuts are likely available this season, and with end-of-summer sales starting, I’d thought I’d give them a shout-out. Happy Back To School!

We were all home for our mom’s birthday this weekend. After a lot of baking and a backyard tea party, we took a few photos for a multigenerational blog post.

We had tapas and sangria, and then we met some real dogs and some fake dogs. #summer2016, am I right? Some short stories: I thrifted these sunglasses hastily just before a hike (old ones lost and forecast sunny), the t-shirt is from a concert last summer (three hours wait on a Monday night), the lipstick was an unexpected and awesome gift for bridesmaiding last month (blush pink dress and minimal motel room), and I’ve been wearing this skirt maybe once per week since I got it in the spring (unintentional capsule wardrobe).

When you haven’t been posting even though your fashion game is strong.
