Crocheted August

Sweater, sunglasses: American Eagle (similar sweater, sunglasses); Top, shorts: Forever 21 (similar top, similar shorts); Shoes, bag: Target (shoes, bag c/o Living thru Fashion giveaway); Necklace: Hand-me-down pearls; Ring: Found antiquing in Oregon

I've been feeling particularly outfit-lackluster on the blog recently due to my shopping diet (my pre-budget motto seemed to be "blogging before budgeting" and I've since reversed it) but care of my mom, I just got both the sweater and sunglasses in the mail and was able to put together something fresh (thanks, mom!). It has been August-hot here lately and so this open weave sweater certainly let some cool Puget Sound breezes blow through my outfit. 

My boyfriend took these photos today as we were already in the park taking portraits... of him! He has to submit a headshot (well, they asked for a passport-style photo and I took it as a good excuse for a portrait photo-shoot) with many of his med school applications. We walked around the park looking for the perfect green, shaded and empty spot for photos, settling on this grassy hill that CP and I have taken outfit photos on before. We had to dodge the metal concert that was happening on an outdoor stage nearby, but I think that the sound of screaming bearded men and electric guitars just added some oomph to our photo-shoots and expressions.
