Folks, I used to be a tomboy.  I wore baggy jeans and sneakers, played sports, biked around the neighborhood in little pre-teen bike gangs (well, we weren't the SCARY kind of gang.  Just the group of kids kind of gang).  And then sometime in my mid-20's, I felt the subconscious urge to compensate for my lack of "girly-ness"and doll playing experiences by wearing dresses and skirts all the time, going to tea houses and learning how to salsa.  This outfit feels like the best of both - a definite free move-ability about it while still having feminine elements.

I hope you all had a fabulous Turkey Day and (if you participate), a fun-filled Black Friday!  Get some good finds!

Fourth of July Weekend (long time ago, I know), was an amazing exercise in lazing about and kicking back.  Our roommates were out of town and we spent half the weekend wandering around downtown San Jose and looking for fun places to sit, relax and/or eat.

These pictures were taken in between two tall buildings, where some smart person had the foresight to put marble seating areas under a small mass of trees.  With it being so hot, lying on the marble benches was just so refreshing, we laid there for an hour and a half!

I also just want to say that Keds are the bomb diggity.  I haven't worn them in years, but when I found these on sale at Madewell a month or so ago, I couldn't resist!  They're just so comfy and amazingly cute.
