Outfit: Girl in an Apron

It's been a rough week. As much as I feel like I work a lot, I honestly rarely hit 40 hours a week. This week, I think I hit 47 hours. On my one day off, I headed to Eugene and spent a lovely day with my little sister. We ate some delicious food (including cupcakes, of course), did some shopping, and took pictures of graffiti/stickers/tags.  Unfornately, on the way home, my shitastic car decided to break down. ( in the dark. in the middle of I-5. in the middle of a curve. with no lights or landmarks, completely rural) I was stranded for a few hours while I waited for a ride home. Luckily, I had a book with me; and apparently my ipod also serves as a trusty reading light. My boyfriend's brother helped tow the car to an exit where it would be safer. So of course, overnight, someone smashed a window and attempted to steal it. Luckily, I had already taken EVERYTHING out of the car, even all the miscellaneous papers in the glovebox.

 Dear looters: Please enjoy my already-broken stereo and the bag of empty coffee cups.

Happy ending = I finally got a new car! Remember how I almost got one in July? That actually fell through due to craigslist shadiness. This time, I just went to a dealership and picked out a beautiful 2005 Toyota Camry. Levels above my old Geo Prizm. I'm really in love with my new car so far. It's going to make life a bit easier.

It's funny, I actually wear an apron almost every day. They're not nearly as adorable as this one though. Just basic black aprons. It'd be fun to wear an apron like this to work, but I know it would just end up filthy. You should see my black aprons at the end of shifts; just covered in beer and ranch and flour and who knows what else. Food industry: It's a hard life, man. Today I'm just savoring my day off (on a Friday no less! That never happens!). I really don't want to leave my apartment today. After working a lot, and being around people non-stop, I just need a break from all the silly humans.

I oh-so-rarely wear pants. Seriously. Maybe once a month, I’ll get the urge to throw some on. Like “Hmmm. Maybe I’ll wear pants today?”. After wearing skirts and dresses all the time, they just feel so restricting. Also, for some reason, I just really don’t like the way blue jeans look. When I do wear jeans, they’re always black or dark denim. No acid-wash or blue jeans for me.

I had lots of fun hanging out with my little sister, Kendra!

This is possibly the first time she's worn a dress in like a decade.

Outfit: Sunshine with Stacey

I love how Stacey and I both have pink hair right now. We do a damn good at being each other's hairdressers, if I do say so myself. It was very sunny and ridiculously bright outside when we took these pictures, so forgive us for being a bit squinty.

Cruisin’ on the Willamette

On the last day of the epic staycation that was HannahFestNorthWest, Andrew and I took a two hour cruise on the Willamette River. I had purchased a groupon for The Portland Spirit, so it was a cheap little excursion. I honestly wasn't too impressed by the food (my gumbo was basically just stew? with carrots? what?! DO YOU KNOW HOW GUMBO WORKS, CHEFMAN?) and the live music was a little bit disappointing (country music covers=whyyyyyyyy?). However, it was a absolutely beautiful day, and there were many lovely sights to see on the river.  It was really neat to see parts of the Willamette and Portland that I've never seen before.

pirate boats!

Apparently, paddle-boarding is a thing.

kayakers

adorable little floating houses

Before you get on the boat, you have to have a cheesy picture taken. I, of course, blinked right when she took the picture. (I should've just worn my sunglasses! Curses!) Towards the end of the cruise, the employees find you and offer to sell you the photo for $12. I chose not to buy it since I'm all blinky in the photo, but then some super-nice maybe-drunk older ladies bought the photo for us because they thought we were cute. Hooray for nice people!

Here's two somewhat rare sights: "hannah in shorts" and "hannah in a t-shirt". It seems like summer is already grinding to a halt here, though it feels like it just started. It's still sunny, but it's definitely feeling cooler out there. Before you know it, it's going to be raining every other day again. I'm kind of looking forward to layers, jackets, blankets, and hot drinks! I just wish I had more time to go camping and do summery activities. Sigh. I just finished my little vacation, and I'm already wanting to go on vacation again!

I wore this last week during my vacation. It felt like the perfect outfit for a lovely and relaxing summer day free from responsibility. I'm totally in love with the long pink lace dress. Forever 21 had them on clearance supah cheap, so I got a purple one and a pink one! It's kind of hard to find things to wear with them, since they're completely see-through, but they're so comfy and flowy!
