Simple Things

Jason and Isabel are getting married on Saturday, and so today Caleb and I went shopping to find something for me to wear. On the invitations they stressed that guests should not look too fancy because there's some kind of ersatz kickball game after the ceremony and apparently it's mandatory.

So after much deliberation and forcing Caleb to walk back and forth between Target, Old Navy and the Gap, I finally decided:



Mine is more this shade of turqouise, but otherwise it's the same.
I've been on this mad health kick lately which means I've been going to the gym and also that more things fit me and look better on me than they used to; probably the reason I like this dress so much is that it makes a really excellent line. Plus it's preposterously comfortable and I can't imagine kickball being a difficult sport to handle while wearing it. I wanted it in purple, but apparently so did everybody else, because there weren't any left in my size.

I also purchased this breezy number from Target mostly because I couldn't not.



I tried to not buy it, but lost the battle. It's the first all-white dress I've owned, and I'm kind of terrified that the first time I wear it I'll fuck it all up, but thats what God invented bleach for, right?

After I picked my mother up from Talbots, she wanted to go to Target, so I trekked the shiny floors again. Not going to lie, the amount of time I spent in the mall today kind of made my brain into soup. She was kind enough to buy me some zebra flats I had been ogling:



Caleb doesn't like them, but to that I say: Fie! Are they shiny? Are the zebra? Then YES. A thousand times yes!

Also a thousand times yes to this scanwich:

The News & Observer: The O.B.L.T. (Outrageous B.L.T.) Applewood-Smoked Bacon, Fire-Roasted Jalapeños, Tomatoes, Avocado, Homemade Garlic Mayo, Local Greens on Sourdough

which I unfortunately did not get to eat today (or ever) but am planning to create someday soon or possibly tonight, in my dream life where I can eat anything I want and have a beautiful, eternally stocked kitchen and a professional dishwasher.
