The dog days of summer

It's getting to that point where I'm just kind of tired of the heat.. oh wait, I never said it could inhabit my world anyway. What I've learned this summer is I'm actually kind of allergic to the sun? Not in the, "oh my gosh, I'm not going outside! It'll melt me!" kind of way.. more like, "ew, I have red blouchy patches all over my skin and they won't go away until I take a shower and have been out of the sun for a couple of hours" type of thing goin' on. So, bear with me here if I don't post outfits as often as I would like, it's really annoying to go outside pretty much any other time than sunset, and.. normally I'm doing homework or cooking then.

But, the other day I had to go up to campus to work on a group speech, so I decided to bring the camera with me since I knew we'd most likely be getting done around sunset. I made my way over to grassy section of campus {aka away from people..}, and started taking pictures. I'm sorry to say, I had to edit my face a teeny bit because I was still all red and flushed from just being outside for 20 minutes or so. Seriously heat, go away, no one wants you.

Oh hey, it's that eyelet blouse again. It's definitely been my go-to top this summer, and it's so classic, I don't see that changing for quite sometime. Although this outfit is rather simple, I'd say summer calls for more simple outfits anyway. I mean, do you want to tromp around campus all day long in 99* weather in layers? Nope, didn't think so. I say, go with what's comfortable and makes you feel good, it's always better in the long run.. or short run because if I'm not comfortable, I usually want to go home and change the moment I leave the house!

This weekend was a good one. Curtis and I went a little further east to Conroe, Texas and camped out with his parents Friday night. Good thing about Conroe, it's got the best of both worlds.. meaning it's about 15-20 minutes away from the big city, so we went to see Wolverine Saturday afternoon and did a little bit of browsing around in The Woodlands (yeah, that's the name of the town). Being from the central part of Texas, there aren't lots and lots of wooded areas, and you can see for miles and miles. So I really love it when we get to go out to East Texas and are surrounded by all the tall pine trees. All-in-all, it was a great weekend and I'm not too excited for Monday to come along..

It's always sunny..

Why yes, I'm using the fence to hide from the sun. It's seriously too hot and too, too sunny to take pictures during the daytime. But, Curtis is off at office hours for his class, so I decided to take some quick snaps before I have to go back and pick him up. Ugh, I'm ready for October. 

Anyway, this skirt. I love it. I got it with the sandals I'm wearing {both for free} using rewards money to Gap/Old Navy. It helped give me a little courage yesterday while I started my second session for summer courses. I'm taking communications and business statistics. So yeah, I'll be having lots of fun for the next month. Not. 

Happy Wednesday!
