Weekly Wears: Summer Sniffles

I have been terribly sick since last Thursday.  I've been doing my best to ignore it and get through everyday life, but I have to say, summer colds are the absolute WORST!  Trying to keep up with summer fun has been a little challenging (ie: swimming, parks, barbecues, etc), but I'm hanging in there.  ;)

Top & Hat: Marshall's;  Shorts: c/o ModCloth;  Shoes: c/o Bait Footwear;  Necklace: c/o Poppy and Fern

I've really been trying to buy more separates lately, not because I don't love my dresses (because I DO!), I just don't want to get stuck in a rut.  It's good to stretch yourself, so I've been trying to do just that.  :)  Oh, and please forgive the wrinkly shorts.  I'm having to relearn how to wear shorts and pants, as silly as that seems. 

I really will be back tonight or tomorrow with giveaway winners!  I hope you all have a lovely day!

    Love this outfit, Katie! So sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well :( I'm sure rest, lots of fluids, and looking at pretty blogs will get you up and around in no time! (this is why I'm not a doctor) Keep rocking the separates :)

    Those shorts are precious! I love them.
    I like the color of the shoes; with the shorts and dots it kind of reminds me of a watermelon. Which is kind of the best.

    I hope you feel better soon. All 3 of my kids have colds and unfortunately they have given it to my dad who is visiting us in the UK from Canada...a nice gift for Grandad :(
    Hope your sniffles go soon

    I've been sick too! Summer colds are so much harder to deal with - sipping hot hot tea with honey this time of year is a bummer. But I love how cute you look! Those sandals are rad, I just got my first pair of Swedish Hasbeens, they're on my blog, take a look!

    I'm a first time reader and your blog is very cute!! :) I love this outfit.
    I'm actually having the opposite problem right now; I've never been a dress girl but now I'm trading in my jeans for dresses!

    You look gorgeous, I love the scalloped shorts! I have been trying to do more separates too, I think I have one too many floral dresses for now! (Okay, let's be honest, I don't know if I believe there is such a thing as too many floral dresses!)
    Hope you feel better soon!

    I have been searching etsy for the perfect "mama" necklace and couldn't find the right one. As soon as I saw this one, I immediately contacted her and had one made. It arrived yesterday and I'm loving it! Thanks for the inspiration :)
