Sometimes, I just want a set of photos to speak for themselves. This was one of those times that I said, "Hey, I don't want to take photos in front of our back steps today, let's go on an adventure!" And we drove around and found a little green spot in the middle of the city and it was magical :)
This is the hat I fell in love with in This Post. It's the closest thing I have to a flower crown and I just adore the colors in it. That plumb-y color has always been one of my favorites.
Since an adventure shouldn't just include things I like, but things the husband likes too-we got slushies! Guys, I don't think I've had one of these since I was like 12 years old. There's this gas station in town in the midst of a construction zone and so to bring people in they have 'penny an ounce' slushies! That means we paid a whopping 60 some cents for both of our frozen treats! Now that's a cheap date I can get behind.
We also went to Menards to get a few things on this day. Oh boy, I can't even tell you how many strange looks I received. Can you imagine me all gussied up in my flower hat and heels sauntering through the brooms and pipes just hanging out trying to act manly or something? Ya, it was quite the sight I'm sure. But do people seriously have to stare at you for such a long time? It's kind of obvious and I LIKE wearing flowers on top of my head OK!?
Alright, end of rant :)
Alright, end of rant :)
Have a fabulous day all! Get yourself a slushie while it's still summer!
God Bless,

You look just pretty as a painting here!
Haha when I wear my floral crowns out, people are like "What is that thing for?" and I'm like "Uh because I like it."

This look is perfect for summer, I love it! Your lipstick is such a beautiful shade and that is the best floral hat ever! Great look :)
This dress is so cute!
Man, now I want a slushy! Seriously though, these pics are great, you found a lovely spot to take them! The dress is just a dream against that backdrop!

Hehehehe, I know what you mean by wanting to sometimes just take pictures and let 'em talk for themselves. Sometimes I'm in the mood to write 3+ pages of turning a casual event into a little story, and other times I'm like, "Shoot, what to write?" so I totally feel ya, girl. ;) No shame in your game!!
That being said, these pictures are BEAUTIFUL! I especially love the little parts where the light is streaming through the leaves and blotching the dark green grass with yellow spots. Your purple headdress/flower crown/hat thing (wow that was really awful? you know what I mean, hehee) is stunning, too, and works so well with that dress. You're just always such a beauty, Katie! Forever and for aaaalways! <3
Also, socks and heels? Awww yiss! (internet high five) :)
Its so cute in that last picture what big smiles you have. I love that hat. It is beautiful. Clearly, that was why they were staring :) It was just SO pretty.
Cute. I love how the flower crown totally matches your dress :P
