7-26-26 MY WEEK: diagnosed with the one direction infection

 feels like deja vu this week. monday i fulfilled a teenage dream of seeing louis tomlinson live - at his how did we get here tour. granted, nothing will bring back the opportunity to see one direction live, but i was enamored with my fave band member, crying approximately 3 times during the concert. this is good, as i am a chronic crier. 

the merch bag was merch itself

the one direction infection continued through thursday (just like the hoarse throat after absolutely screaming my lungs out), and my social media was filled with one direction throwback for their 16th anniversary. it was never a phase, mom! 

we went to the garfield museum on sunday, but more about that in this week's inspo!

this week's looks

i was inspired by sib's garden of wonders. currently the home to an itty-bitty bunny, an occasional possum, and alvin, our quality assurance for strawberries, sib's luscious garden keeps us cool in the evenings and we enjoy sitting on our wicker patio set until dusk, reading or wedding planning. the number of beautiful colors inspired me to see if i can recreate nature through my fits:

monday - pink snapdragon. this is the perfect summer sunset shade. as kids, we used to call these flowers puppies and would pick enough to put our fingers in them like manicured nails. for such beachy tones, i figured my aloha style shirt was the best. two-toned coach bag, and neon pink pumas with some yellow hints. 

monday night concert - i wore my diy jeans, and a bralette under this asymmetrical top, alongside bright red kate spade bag and my tabis. i chose my eiffel tower earrings because of louis' lyric in nobody compares: "we saw paris when we kissed, when we kissed, i remember the taste of your lipstick, now you're tearing up my heart, tearing up my heart..."

tuesday - velvet red snapdragon. another rich color in the same flower! i chose a skirt of deep burgundy with tiers to mimic the shape of the snapdragon. some greenery found in the earthy top and olive-green cardigan. red flats and the red kate spade bag.

tuesday evening yoga. felt so shanti/ashtangi. leather flip flops, yoga pants, top, gold tote bag, and 2000s sunnies

wednesday - black-eyed susan. an opportunity to wear my newest concert tee from the louis concert. i.am.gia. cargo pants, gold tote, sunflower earrings and a yellow floral ring, and my forest-green adidas.

thursday - rapunzel tomato. i chose a remake of my outfit i wore when i saw this is us in theaters when i was like 15. christian lacroix flowy pants, converse (i most likely wore them in 2013 too), gold tote bag, and a t shirt with red, yellow, and green stripes. just like the tomatoes ripening. 

another yoga sesh. kept the pants because they're comfy, and i wore my flip flops and a black crop top with skateboarding skeletons. 

friday - gladiola. a very loose inspiration - white tee, 2000s low rise jeans, adidas gazelles, cream uniqlo bag.

pool

yoga

saturday, woke up for yoga (right before noon, granted), and got some coffee and ran a couple errands, before absolutely chilling at the pool.

for yoga, armani tee, champion yoga swats, yoga top, flip flops, uniqlo bag, steve madden sunnies.

pool - black and pink, mismatched bikini, black cover up, and my pool tote. more about that in my inspo ;)

saturday nite we went to a local winery for a coworker's half birthday...? listen, we love to celebrate - anything!

i finally wore my see by chloe denim dress, gucci heels, magazine/lady gaga knock off clutch, ray bans, and some bling!

sunday - zinnia. we went to the garden store and museum, and i wore a bright red top with kate spade bag - bright red, wanted to add spots of yellow with jewelry, and camo jorts.

a lazy pool afternoon - wearing skims maxi dress, mismatched bikini, and my pool tote.

what am i looking forward to this week?

pool days, yoga, and lazy summer days ahead, i predict naps by the pool!
