soul claiming heat

sweater: J.Crew Factory shorts: thrifted necklaces: Fossil & F21 watch: Fossil shoes: F21
Okay, so I wanted to point something out here. It seems to me that on my blog, I tend to wear A LOT more shorts than other people. You always see these gorgeous layered outfits with leggings and sweaters and scarves that I love to wear in the fall and winter. But lets get serious for a minute, I live in FLORIDA. The daily high temperature is close to the 90's and as soon as you walk outside, you start sweating; no I am not kidding. So while I would love to wear those layered outfits all year long, I simply cannot, unless you want to see my faint from heat exhaustion. I want my clothes choices to be up to par, but for what's functional and practical for where I live. So, if you look through my outfits and envy that I wear shorts a lot, don't kid yourself, I would love to be wearing your layered sweaters and boyfriend jeans in 70 degree  breezy weather.

On another note, I cannot tell you how happy I have been moving back home. Family is something that is SO important to me and I missed everything about being around them. I can't get enough of family gatherings, large and small. Oh and in case you missed the newest addition to the family, Ashlynn Kate, (not claiming her, although I wish I could) here is some daily Sunday cuteness.
