Soooooo anyone besides me ever do an entire little photoshoot (which, in my case, calling what I do a "photoshoot" is really wishful thinking lol) and then realize something like....um, MY BAG WAS BACKWARDS THE WHOLE TIME.  #likeaboss  #winning

 

But oh well.  I'm wearing lots of jewelry, a little white fur, and the wold's most rockin' awesome little booties, so life couldn't have been that bad, even if little things went wrong.  Right?  Right.

 

Lace Shorts in October

We have been blessed with a couple of warm, WARM days this week (pray it stays this lovely for my move this weekend).  Amazing for a Wisconsin Fall!  It was warm enough for shorts and t-shirts! 
So I got to debut the shorts I snagged off the end-of-season clearance rack at Marshall's a bit sooner than next year.  YAY!

I was seriously envying these lacey shorts on other girls this summer.  Most of my shorts are denim...more in the American classic laid-back style (which rocks: don't get me wrong), but I really wanted a pair of shorts that could be more ladylike, like these. 
I still kept their debut laid-back enough, though, by wearing a button-up (floral print, yes, but still...).

the Denim Blues

Subtitled: 

...the Urban Cowgirl.
...the Canadian Tuxedo.

No matter what you call it (and my outfit got called all of those things by various friends and strangers), head-to-toe denim has been a big trend lately.  I can't really think of anything more American in flavor, so here's my version!

This may very well have been my farewell to Summer outfit, and I didn't even know it at the time! 
I wore these shorts this past weekend, it was warm and sunny...annnnd so far this whole week has been frigid and damp. 
I'm chilled to the bone sitting here typing, but looking at these sunshine-y photos makes me feel a little warmer.  :)

I adore this bag...
This was the first time I ever "two-strapped it" (regarding which, hubs and I were definitely quoting 21 Jump Street all day hahaha).  Usually I treat it more like a bucket bag, but I think the two-strapping is a success, eh? 
What do you guys think?

 A few friends and I went to a Wine & Harvest Festival in my hometown, and then out to a Brewers' game and tailgate party.  It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday.  :)

This is my friend, Jess.  Our two hubbies were nice enough to take our pictures, since it was Jess' first baseball game (she just moved here).  Troopers, aren't they?
