Hi, my name is Vickie and I'm an absentee blogger... hi Vickie. There, now that we're reacquainted after my month-long departure from this space, we can finally get back to the good stuff; you know, clothes and whatnot. Summer suddenly became a thing— and well before my wardrobe was ready, might I add— which I coped with by adding a couple skirts and dresses into the mix (see more over in Insta-land). This wrap skirt was an H&M find that only set me back 35 big ones (or should I say small ones?), which I paired with an old Levis shirt, slides from the previous summer, and a new-to-me circle tote that I thrifted at Value Village. And just like that, an acceptable summer look was born. I've since gone on to add a few more goodies to the mix (more shopping inspo to come), but in the spirit of getting reacquainted, I wanted to go back to where we left off. Things you've missed include, but are not limited to: 1) Moving to a new apartment; 2) Wrapping up a 16-session body contouring extravaganza (more on that later, too); 3) Rewatching Friends from start to finish; 4) Testing the limits of the human heart via coffee overconsumption. Overall, it's been quite the month. Stay tuned as we get back into regular posting from here on out... smooches!
