In the past week I've learned a couple of things that it probably shouldn't have taken me this long to figure out. First up is how to correctly use the diffuser on my hair dryer. Second, how to roll my shirt sleeves so they're comfortable and don't have to be readjusted all day long. Speaking of shirts, raise your hand if you love a good plaid button-up for fall and winter. This one from Old Navy is so soft and comes in lots of other colors. One thing about plaid is that if you don't wear it just right, it comes off looking like a lumberjack. To avoid that, try wearing a statement necklace, and if you're wearing it with jeans try some with an interesting detail like my raw hems. I also tied mine up to keep it a little more on trend (although I will say I tied it a little shorter than I intended).
I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
How is it back-to-school time already?! Okay, so technically, I've still got four full weeks of my summer left, but many of you are gett...
July's Book Club Pick
I'm excited to dive in to this Greek historical fiction. This will be my second book by Madeline Miller, and I loved Circe. This book follows Greek hero Achilles, son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and King Peleus, and his friend Patroclus, an exiled prince. The two are trained in war and medicine by the centaur Chiron and are then called with the rest of Greece's heroes to the siege of Troy after Helen of Sparta is kidnapped.
