a whole lotta.

birthdays, that is.
this is the week of birthdays for our family.
my dad, niece, mom, and brother-in-law are all celebrating their birthdays this week. that means that this weekend will be filled with a whole lotta birthday cake.
i'm feeling sick already.

i professed a whole lotta love for this shrunken white blazer before, and i am still finding a whole lotta reasons to love it. i like how it freshens and balances a whole lotta print.

 hope you all have a whole lotta fun this weekend.
happy aloha friday!

Have a lotta slices for me!
i so need a shrunken white!
I always thrift my blazers way smaller than i actually am so they are 'fitted'. Though, they never, ever button up ;)

Are you trying to convince me that I need a white fitted blazer? Well you have succeeded :) Too bad that I have to wait another season to get myself one. Maybe I'll be lucky and be able to thrift one (fingers crossed).
Great outfit.

I always like the end slice of the birthday cake. Unless it's round (then there is no end) haha. Yummy icing! That white blazer is awesome! You can do sooooo much with it! It would be awesome to see a post with all the looks you come up with wearing it. Have a great weekend girl! :D

The print of your dress is so bold and bright, but to be honest, I'm kind of dying over those puppies! Oh my goodness, cuteness squared.

Thanks for letting me know about the last photo on my recent post. I can see it fine when I view my blog, so who knows. Silly blogger...

Claire said...

i love a white blazer over a colorful outfit! it looks fabulous. and there are much worse things than eating bday cake. haha. especially if it's homemade! i think i survived one week of pregnancy on my kid's bday cake.

totally love a white blazer, too!! I have cardys but am mad that I didn't search for one more this summer. Maybe it's time for a last look (I do live in Florida so can be year round!).

Those puppies are all kinds of adorable!! The Hubs and I were just talking about the possibility of getting a bull mastiff puppy. We have a boxer now that's a little over 6 years old.

I love the bright colors and pattern in that dress!! And happy birthday to all of your family members! September seems to be a really busy month for birthdays. lol
