Holy 80 degrees...

I love this outfit! I totally threw it together last-minute, and it worked for me! It has been sickeningly hot down here in So Cal. They tell me it's 80 degrees, but it feels more like 115, if you ask me. These shoes are ages old, and make me happy. They're like a lazy surfer's version of huaraches. Ain't nothin' wrong with that! Also, who knew I owned one orange item let alone 2 that matched perfectly as if they were a twinset? Fate. These jean shorts used to be my favorite pair of jeans - when they started to fade and fit loosely in bizarre places, I chopped these suckers up. (I first wrote "chopped these puppies up," but it made me want to cry so I changed it.) I got this ring about 2 days ago - feeding my desire for all things Native American - love it!

This ginormo bun was inspired by a few fabulous bun-headed and fashionable bloggers that I love: Sydney, Beth, and Kelsey! I wore a bun yesterday, too, but it was more of a Pebbles Flinstone look - could have been the leopard bow I stuck in the middle, but it left much to be desired. I always feel like the "Carrie Bradshaw" bun looks better on the second day - thanks to the extra frizz & fluff. Definitely check out Sydney's tutorial and Beth's tutorial - they are super helpful! Ashley's top-knot tutorial rocks, too!
