fill the sky around with happiness and joy

i got this beautiful peach shirt from red velvet a few months ago.
i love it paired with this striped skirt!
it was such a fun outfit for a pretty summer day.

these photos were taken on friday...only a few days before the big "midwest cool down"
fall has officially started, i think.
there was a downpour on saturday. there's been an amazing chill in the air ever since.
so this might have been my last day to soak up the summer sun...









shirt: red velvet, skirt: thrifted, boots: thrifted, belt: thrifted
[oh, and i just wore my hair in a messy bun with pulled-back bangs. nothing too fancy ;)]

i hope you're all having a splendid labor day today.
i'm spending it with my hubs, sis, and good friend.
we're cooking burgers and kebabs. YUMS!

see you all soon.
i'll be busy dreaming up pretty fall outfits ;)

xo,
cj

    AHH! a midwest cool down?! send some of that our way! our air has been drier due to all the hurricanes roaming around in the ocean, but darn it, i want some cool weather! i want to open my windows and let the fresh air in!!

    i really like how you've been doing your hair different ways, even though you say this style isnt fancy! ps, northern california has been nice so far,i really like the no humidity, and the view of course too!

    oh i remember that bit of Red Velvet goodness and am still reeling from seeing you there. Elsie's the coolest ever and i adore your shirt, terrific color on you Christen!! we've had a bit of a summer reprieve and time spent outdoors is definitely waning but sure do enjoy its last moments.

    LOVE the messy bun, at 1st i'd wondered if you got a haircut. looks lovely off your gorgeous face that way! ♥
