Summer Scarf Weather?!?!

It's a chilly day in West Lafayette (and by chilly, I mean 60 degrees but overcast with a chance of rain), so I was excited to wear a scarf!  This is a square scarf I bought in Iowa City at a unique shop.  I wore my black-and-white jacket over it, and I accessorized with my class ring and sapphire earrings.  Sadly, I still froze in my class, so I lost the scarf and jacket for my teal sweatshirt from Crystal Beach in Texas when I went home for lunch.  Anyway, stay warm/cool and drink hot chocolate/lemonade, whichever seems more appropriate. :)

Dress shopping, summer loving.

Sweet summertime!  Some days it doesn't feel like summer though... it's hot, but I spend two hours a day in the air-conditioned Rawls Hall trying to listen to the economics lecture.  With Memorial Day yesterday though, I finally got a break.  I was busy Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday marching with the Purdue All-American Marching Band, but yesterday I had FREE.  I spent the lovely day with my aunt and uncle.  We had a late lunch, went shopping at the Tippecanoe Mall, went to the Lafayette Citizens' Band concert, had a snack at Panera, and saw The Avengers at 9:40 p.m.  It was a truly fantastic day!  In addition to having a great time and some good laughs, I got NEW CLOTHES.  Take a look at these gems:

Top for only $10.  I can wear it with jean shorts, black jeggings, or a pencil shirt to work :)

Dress! :)  Love the uneven shirt and the way I could wear it country dancing !

American Eagle halter top dress... so summery!

And news for my dearest sister: guess what store is coming to the Tippecanoe Mall!  If you guessed H&M, you're right!  I can't wait... come visit me and we'll go shopping. 

Drink lots of water, sleep lots, and be happy.

Dressing up :)

I only have one picture to post.  One of my multiple goals for this summer is to dress up more and blog more.  I hope I can actually accomplish that. I feel like any new period in life feels like a start-over, and I always make resolutions to do better.  Often times though, I just fail at those resolutions.  I always find myself wishing I had time to sort out my life... to write down my thoughts, feelings, and goals; to blog more; to keep in touch; to clean out my inbox.  I intend to make time this summer to "find" myself. :)  I'm looking forward to reflecting/journaling on this past semester, staying in touch with my NASA buds, and making new memories at Purdue.  I'm trying to find the beauty in EVERY SITUATION.  Every day really IS a blessing.  So here's to being happy!

This pictures shows an outfit inspired by my dear sister.  Her blog is a million times better than mine.  Anyway, lots of the boys complimented the way I looked.  Put on a skirt with your hair down, and they notice you as more than an brainiac!
