an outfit with secrets…
August 1, 2012Confession: This is what I was actually wearing last week on the day I restyled this dress. That dress hasn’t actually left the house yet, and yes, I took pictures for two outfit posts on one day. My excuse is limited time with my photographer and my aversion to using a tripod…
Since starting the 2nd hand pledge, I realized I was lacking some simple flat sandals- which sounds ridiculous if you see the amount of shoes in my closet. I was scouring the t-stores to no avail, but finally found this pair of Saltwater sandals, second hand on ebay.
Another confession: This outfit is full of secrets. The tank top is a body suit and the skirt is actually shorts under pseudo skirt flaps. Shhhh… don’t tell anyone that I could actually do cartwheels in this outfit- if I could still do cartwheels.
I think I have Olympic gymnastics on the brain.
(Next time I’m taking close-up pics of my hair, I will make sure I’m wearing cuter bobby pins…)
tank: hand-me-down
skirt: thrifted
Saltwater sandals: ebay
map necklace: local crafter
So there you have it, a simple summer outfit full of second hand finds. Today I’m off from work and have lots of plans to be productive- we’ll see how that goes. I love having a day off mid-week to get things done! Hope you’re having a good week so far- can you believe we’re half way to the weekend already? :)

Your hair looks beautiful like this (bobby pins and all)! I want saltwater sandals so bad!! I’m going to head on over to ebay and see what they have in my size!
You are always so stinking adorable! I love this outfit, and all of its secrets make me smile. I have bobby pin issues all the time in photos too! Glad I’m not alone in that. You’re awesome the end.
Such a cute outfit! And I love your hair do. :)
Love this outfit and how it’s full of secrets! I mean it already looks comfortable, but that’s awesome! I would have never guessed any of those thing and your hair does look cute!
I love the braid crown! And I totally understand wanting to take as many outfits as you can while you have your photographer there! Taking photos with a remote is awwwkward.

So, sandal twin, we now have the exact same sandals ( mine are navy too) and we both got them second-hand off of e-bay! Yeah! And I am a HUGE fan of the skort, when you can’t tell! So so amazing for biking!! Also, how did you do that to your hair? I would have no idea how to start…xoxoxoxox
This has such a cute nautical vibe! And I love that it’s really a bodysuit and shorts :D I am pretty much forced to take self-timer pics…I envy you the option of a photographer! Your posts look absolutely stellar and I love your fun writing and great taste :)
Following you!

I am in love with your hair!! You are so talented to be able to make a braid like that! (my hair is too short to even try) Also, I love your striped top. Stripes & polka dots are definitely my favorite prints!
It’s not seudo skirt flaps it’s a SKORT!! hip hip horray, perfect for bike rids! although really, what’s the deal about flashing our undies, same as a swimsuit, well hopefully if there’s a flash warning… anywho, you look adorable! love your hair like that & love this casual look : )
I so love this outfit! The colors are perfect, and the skorts look so tailored and chic. Very flattering for you!
I like your hair! I’m inspired to see if there are any thrift treasures to be found in San Diego!
Love this outfit, Lisa! And I need to google what a cartwheel is, because it sounds like something I don’t think it is, haha.
Hugs! ;)
congrats about the saltwater sandals! they are lush. I’ve wanted a pair for ages
your hair is super amazing too! so pretty whatever hair clips you use

I can NEVER hide bobby pins. EVER.
What a sneaky outfit. Perfect for the Olympics.
