Summer Comes in Golden Rays

Apparently, when life turns hectic, my blog is the first thing to go. School and roadtrips and general business, and then the lack of desire to do anything but lie in bed and read took over my life for awhile. Not to mention that Alex and I are buying a house, and the Memorial Day Weekend rafting trip I was in charge of. Anyway, I'll try not to let that happen again. I'm happiest when I'm blogging, it seems.

The weather here has been beautiful, but too warm for my tastes. I want to be creative, but how do you dress creatively when a mini-dress is too warm to wear? I'll have to figure out this summer thing if I don't want my posts to be stale.

In the meantime, I can show off my new ASOS dress that's really only appropriate for summertime wear. I've never worn anything so short. But part of being creative is being adventurous, right? So here's a call to adventure.

Outfit details: 

Dress: ASOS (similar)

Shut the Doors and Hide Away

Wildflowers and Weeds thought about hibernating for the winter. It was all settled down to rest, all the words tucked away, and then suddenly, it didn't want to sleep anymore. So by the time winter was actually here to stay, it was time to wake up. You miss too much when you sleep too long.

 Because of my work schedule, I ran into this terrible problem of literally not having any daylight to take pictures in, and not being able to find appropriate lighting in my house to make up for it. I had a lucky, rare day where -while it was freezing outside- the sunlight was dancing on everything in sight.

And I spent every minute I had sitting in a room of our big empty house, soaking it up.
