Relaxed weekend

The heat this past weekend was ridiculous. Portland finally broke not only 90 degrees, but 100 degrees as well. Thankfully my parents have a pool, so we headed over there on Saturday with Onyx to have a BBQ and go swimming. (There are some photos of that at the bottom of this post.) We also got to watch Portlander Galen Rupp win the silver medal in the men's 10,000 meter race, which was very exciting! We don't have a TV, so the only chances we've had to watch the Olympics are at other people's houses, or while in the fitness center of our building.

This outfit was actually from Sunday, but it was still crazy hot then, too. The jacket was purely for air-conditioned buildings; I only wore it for about a minute for these photos.

Floral shirt: Marshall's

Here was my church outfit from Sunday. Our pictures were turning out horribly (that's what you get when you try to take photos at noon on a sunny day, and are forced to take them in the underbrush just so you get some shade), so we gave up, but I salvaged one halfway decent photo to show you guys:

Here are a few fun photos from our Saturday! Onyx had a blast jumping in the pool about a hundred times, eating blueberries off the bush, and harassing my parents' dog Lucy (fourth photo down):

Lazy weekend

We had a wonderfully lazy weekend: we went to the farmer's market on Saturday morning, then out to see Brave in the afternoon, and wound up the day at home eating bowls full of berries from the market while watching part of season four of Burn Notice. And on Sunday after church we took Onyx out to my parents' house and spent the afternoon barbecue-ing, swimming and lounging around. I have a stressful two weeks ahead of me, so it was nice to have this relaxing weekend to gather my wits about me.

This was my outfit from church on Sunday. It wasn't much different from the last time I wore this dress (here), but when it's ninety degrees outside it's hard to care much about variety. (And in case you're wondering, I only wore the cardigan indoors. And for these photos, obviously!)

Floral striped dress: Anthropologie

Mint green cardigan: Old Navy

Beige heels: BCBGeneration from Macy's

Straw hat: Columbia Sportswear Outlet store

Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta from TJ Maxx

Purple necklace: gift from my aunt

Pink bracelet: H&M

Here are a few extra photos from my lovely weekend!

Bouquets at the farmer's market - I'm always so tempted to buy them, especially when they're only $10!

Onyx likes to eat raspberries right off the bush...

Floral striped dress

Normally I'm not a fan of polyester (although if something cute is made of polyester, I'll wear it anyway), but this dress is made of polyester and it feels fabulous. It's lightweight, and the best part is that even though it looks like a dry-clean-only dress, I can wash it by hand.

I think this was one of my favorite outfits ever - and I do mean ever, not just in blog history. It was weather-appropriate, pretty, comfortable, and coordinated without being too matchy-matchy. Plus, a girl at church yesterday came up to me and introduced herself because she loved these shoes. Fact: you will instantly become my friend if you compliment my shoes.

Dress: Anthropologie
Mint green cardigan: Old Navy

Blue and green wedges: Nine West from Nordstrom Rack

Green hat: free from my aunt

Pink necklace: gift from my grandma

Green bracelet: thrifted from Village Merchants
