It's time for another little round-up of outfits I've worn lately! Admittedly, I don't go many places in the summer because I hate the heat. We've mostly stuck to working on the house and checking things off our neverending list of projects and chores.
As my priorities change and I've had to start over wardrobe-wise, getting dressed hasn't always felt fun or exciting. With new fall pieces finally coming out, I've been thrilled to see more styles and colors that come with cooler weather. I've hated most new clothing for the last few years, so it's nice to finally find items I like more frequently.
Whether I'm going for a walk, doing yard work, or hanging out with friends, I've also tried to put less pressure on myself in terms of the way that I look. Sometimes I'm not quite as extra, and that's okay. I'm discovering that I tend to lean towards feminine, sporty attire lately.
Enjoy a look at some of my summer looks!

| What I wore to an End-of-Summer Party: Midi Knot Front Tank Dress - Torrid (similar) / Vintage Crop Tee - Old Navy Arishi V4 Fresh Foam - New Balance |
 |
| Recently, I attended an end-of-summer party and had a chance to wear this dress again. The color of this Old Navy tee almost perfectly matches my sneakers, but I'm not a huge fan of the boxy look. I cut the neck of the tee to make it off-shoulder, which made me feel casually cute. Plus, I had a chance to wear my "Fat Babe" hoops! |
 |
In July, we had a chance to go wine-tasting with friends. It was an incredibly hot day, but we had such a wonderful time! This is Nigel at Six Peaks Winery. |
 |
| This is Stella, one of two winery pugs! |
 |
| After a day of wine-tasting, we ate birria tacos and played video games! |
 |
I've been cutting the necks and hems of all my old tees so I can feel cute around the house (instead of feeling schlubby in my oversized things). Have spent a lot of time with the outdoor animals and tending to yard and garden in my sloppy clothes! |
 |
Harvesting arugula in the morning. Wearing these sexy little Target tanks around the house. (They are only $5!!) Cutting more t-shirt necks! |
 |
| We were walking around our neighborhood one evening and a neighbor gave us a handful of zucchini! I made two big loaves of gluten-free zucchini bread because Sean had never eaten it before (and I'm ready for fall). They turned out delicious and Sean really loved them. Wearing: LIVI Hoodie & LIVI Stretch Woven Ankle Pant - Lane Bryant / Glycerin 20 Running Shoe - Brooks |

| Sean and I have been trying to include more little date adventures because we spend so much time at home. It's been nice to get out of the house for fun events. |
 |
| My favorite participants in the Doggy Prom at Dandelion Teahouse & Apothecary! |
 |
| We decided to stop in at Eras Vancouver, an antique shop in downtown Vancouver. I have been on the lookout for a cool mirror for the new hallway, and this was it! We both immediately fell in love with the colors, little birds, and uniqueness of it. (It's reverse-painted glass.) |
 |
I also batch-died a few t-shirts, a dress, a denim jacket, and a hoodie, including this NYC tee Sean found at Old Navy! The purple color really makes the logo stand out. (I'll post a before and after DIY post when I get everything photographed.) |
 |
| At the end of August, I had my latest Cancer Check-up. I am still cancer-free and am doing really well! We took our obligatory celebration photo at the hospital. |
 |
| What I Wore to Rose City Comic Con: Westlife Concert Tee - (Bought in Liverpool) / LIVI Knit Capri Trouser - Lane Bryant Glycerin 20 Running Shoe - Brooks / Mini Backpack Purse - Amazon |
That's a look at bits of my summer in a nutshell!
We still need to finish the hallway cabinet doors before I post about the hallway makeover.
I hope you all had a lovely summer!
