Follow the yellow ( and red ) brick road ! 

Nope, it's not Oz. Just a lazy, hazy afternoon on Cedros Ave in Solano Beach California.

*For summer I am determined to wear a hat everyday and it seems my trend is to match my shoes to my hat. Also, I am very into wearing very small posts after wearing nothing but hoops for years.

Summer Fun Uniform

Heading out to Palm Springs

End of the year Saddleback picnic

Strolling along Forest Ave in Laguna Beach

The last three semi-try to look fashionable events have seen me wearing basically the same look.

        1. hat
        2. bare legs
        3. t-shirt
        4. sandals


I am fairly confident that this will be be my casual uniform for summer.
Whenever I wear shorts I feel like a kid in middle school, so my intellectual level and outfit match.
And as I age the shorts get longer...just like the sleeves on my tops :)
Also I always try to wear a hat because I've got so many of them ( I even bought another one in Laguna ).

So this is my go to fashion look for summer 2013.

Hope I don't run out of shorts or hats....

Another semester is over and I have all of three weeks off before summer school. Hope I am not a lazy fashion constipated mess all summer! Maybe my new edgy ombre hair will inspire me...that's the plan anyways :)
