CRUSHING ON:
maxi dresses like this one from the GAP. i have never owned a maxi dress because i am on the short side but with the summer weather that just happened i am seeing more & more people rock the maxi and it makes me want to give it a chance! i do have some GAP rewards saved up so i might be in a good place to try it out!

happy extended weekend! i sure needed this with all the stuff going on over in my neck of the woods. enjoy this little treat and celebrate with friends & family those who have sacrificed for this nation so that we can be free.
