Teal & Anchors (and a change of scenery!)

We ventured out after work one evening and even took some outfit pictures while we were at it. Normally, we both get home from work, and just want to veg out at home with each other and the pups, so heading somewhere else to take my outfit pictures isn't really an option.

We took these right after we hit up the Red Dot Boutique (Target) and got some Chipotle for dinner. T'was a fun time, let me tell you!

Now of course I didn't wear these shorts to work - they're a bit too short. I DID wear jeans, but it was too hot to keep them on, so I threw on my new(ish) anchor shorts and voila! Several degrees cooler, and I got to wear the cute printed shorts I like.

melting like a popsicle on the 4th of July

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We slept in, lazed around, and I got some pool time in before we went out to dinner with a friend and then home to watch the fireworks from our patio. It was great to have a day off in the middle of the week - now if I could take the rest of the week off...

Anyway, let me tell you about these anchor shorts. I found them while shopping with my sister-in-law at our family reunion last week. I was ready to pay a whopping $10 for them, and then, lo and behold, they rang up at $5.49! You betcha they came home with me. And I've been hoarding them for the 4th of July. As for my shirt, I don't have a lot of red in my closet, so, I opted for obnoxious patriotism. Again. And my flip flops aren't that fancy, BUT the straps have fancy beads on them, so let's pretend they're like sparklers :)

Happy Friday - have a great weekend!!
