Man, if you get as much rain as we have been getting the past week or so, it can get quite challenging to find any opportunity to take outfit pictures. We actually drove all the way to our local train station (like, FIVE MINUTES you guyz) to take pictures underneath the bicycle storage facility thingy since that was basically the only dry spot in my entire town. I felt a bit ridiculous asking my boyfriend to drive me somewhere dry for outfit pictures, but I've been taking very little pictures the past few months anyway. I don't feel like I ask too much of him when I do. Sometimes I wonder how long this blog thing will last for me, but right now I'm just enjoying it for what it is: something light and fun and pretty I enjoy creating that I can take a break from whenever I want. I would definitely miss my blog if I stopped, so you don't have to worry about that happening anytime soon.

I look so ladylike today! I've probably said this at least twenty times in one way or another on this blog, but summertime -> feminine style for me. It's like the summer brings out my inner Mediterranean babe. I mean, I'm officially Dutch and all, but my great-grandfather was unknown and family legend says he was the Jewish doctor my great-grandmother worked for as a maid, so I supposedly have some Mediterranean blood in my lineage somewhere. Which you definitely see if you look at me and my siblings.

ANYWAY, long story short: yeay dresses and heels!

Do you have any family secrets you'd like to spill? :-D
