It’s a miracle–this thing still works! Sorry for my absence around this joint lately. I am finally starting to feel like my life is slowly starting to turn back to normal [typed while trying to pack like a mad woman so that I can rush off to Florida tonight for a week]. Maybe it’s because I finally have a functioning kitchen or maybe it’s because I know that the next seven days of my life are going to consist of laying on a beach with several girlfriends. Never ever has vacation sounded better. I will be 100% content and happy if the only things we do are eat, sleep, and drink. Which…lets be real, I am sure are the only things we will be doing. Have no fear, my laptop will be in stow and I am planning on blogging most days while gone so expect to hear from me often.

Enough about me though, lets talk about this top I am wearing up above [and down below] in my first ever outfit pictures taken in the new house. The only reason they were taken inside the house is because we are not ready for our neighbors to know that posing in the yard for blog posts is a regular occurrence for us. We have decided to keep our dignity and integrity for at least another week. The top hails from the new Beck Boutique and it’s one of those that you can throw on for any fall or winter day and feel like you never changed out of your pajamas. God bless the people who thought of this concept. It’s a funky little pattern which just makes you that much more interesting to people.
