May you one day carry me home

My loves, I must confess that I do not have a brand spankin’ new outfit pic for you like I promised yesterday.  I just got back from yet another interview today, but this time it was at a school in Indiana, which means that I had to fight traffic on a Friday afternoon on the weekend of Lollapalooza.  I am completely exhausted and ready to sack out on the couch with some pizza and Cheerwine.

I do want to share with you my favorite outfit that I wore from vacation.  I wore it out on the day that my mom and I went shopping in downtown Hendersonville and it made me feel pretty and carefree.

Outfit Details:

Tank: Urban Outfitters

Skirt: Bannana Republic via Buffalo Exchange

Sandals: Clarke’s

Beaded Necklace: Dogpatch Trading Post

Straw Fedora: Sherman’s in Hendersonville

Purse: Le Sportsac

This was definitely my favorite outfit from vacation.  I’m really glad that I packed this skirt because it was something that I was able to use to create two more outfits during vacation.  I can’t believe that I’ve only been back in Chicago for a week and I’m already ready to get back to the mountains.

You say you want to play country

Hello dear readers, I’m back from vacation.  I’ve actually been back for a few days, but I’ve been in interview mode (fingers crossed!) and catching up on my chores.  I don’t have a new outfit pic for you, but I wanted to share with you a few from my vacation.

My favorite ice-cream shop, Piggy's, in Hendersonville, NC

My favorite soda, Cheerwine; it's only sold in North Carolina.

Matt and I had a great time on our vacation.  We had so much fun hiking, visiting the small towns around Asheville, and of course eating some delicious southern cuisine.  We both had grits about every morning and when we came back I made sure to pick up grits from the grocery store.   I loved getting to spend time with my friend, Michele, and visit Camp Ton-A-Wandah.  I was amazed that my canoe instructor, Eloise, is still at camp and still teaching canoeing; she’s going to be 90 this year!

I’ll post a new outfit picture tomorrow and keep you updated about my interviews.
