Retro Summer

I have been feeling really amazing the last few days.  After all the changes in my life,  I am finally settling back into my own reality, nicely.  I love my new apartment, it already feels like home which is of utter importance to me.  It's so bright and cheery so every day when I wake up I feel bright and cheery too.

Yesterday, I walked over to the farmers market to get some fresh produce, it was a lovely day for a stroll.  I ended up getting all kinds of goodies including some beautiful roses.  Today, I was going to wear shorts and a tee and have a casual day,  but instead, I decided on this vintage blouse.  I just love the light pastel color and the sheerness. The way I usually go about choosing my outfits is with one certain piece in mind, as in the shorts earlier and then the blouse.  I build the rest of the outfit based on the starting piece.  Most times it evolves by the time I leave the house.  How do you choose your outfits?  I always wonder how others do it.  Let me know!

 This outfit is much more my "Seattle" style.  When I lived in Seattle I wore mostly vintage dresses, I still love to, but I like to experiment with more modern looks now as well.  This outfit was so inexpensive too.


Here is all the yummy treats I got at the farmers market

I'm the same way with putting together outfits, usually starting off with a certain piece and building around it. So glad to hear you're having good times and enjoying your new place :)

I love the blouse, this whole outfit is so cute and the shoes compliment it so well!
