July…what?!?!  How did this happen?  I can’t even believe it’s JULY.  Then I start freaking out that summer is almost over and lose sight of the fact that there are still two whole months to go.  *deep breaths* 

Okay, that’s out of the way, now Happy July!  I love the 4th and can’t wait for the holiday this weekend.  I’ll be celebrating independence from stress and health problems among family, for one thing, as well as independence from work for a bit and from over-spending (more on that soon).  What will you be celebrating independence from?

I feel like a picnic blanket in this tank.  I love the top and the way it flatters my small chest and the pattern feels very Americana and summer in the park-esque.  The weather has been perfect here lately with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s so this cardigan and pants were right on for the cooler temps.  Such a pretty day!

Tonight I went to a minor league baseball game with some friends and changed into jeans and a trench.

It was a lot of fun and I am exhausted—we didn’t even stay for the fireworks!  There will be plenty of fireworks over the weekend, I say.  I think I’m going to go watch the cats chase the laser pointer I found for $3 today. :)
