dotty, may, and a little recap

may this year was a particularly nice month:



i went on my very first business trip.
slash posed with farm machinery
but mostly just did my job which involves photos that look more like this:








i got out my summer hats for some serious beach time.
slash tried to read all squinty even with sunnies on and eventually gave up and napped instead.

we went up to milwaukee for memorial day.
slash the boy took outfit photos to make all my animated gif dreams come true.



and i think i bought a lot of new shoes.
slash they haven't all made blog appearances yet, but i think there's four more pairs in my closet these days.  a closet cleanout is definitely on the docket for june.

pants: silence+noise
top: forever21
trench vest: forever21 (exactly)
wedges: the webster at target (exactly)

creative: crazy pants+ a trench that lost its sleeves.
young: these crazy pants are a bit pajama-ey in both print and material.  the cut and cropped length makes them seem more like grownup pants though.  
professional: recently i've decided that if i add tall shoes and necklaces i can make anything look more grown up. even though this outfit has a lot of casual aspects, i really like the way it came together.

this dress is really a wee bit too casual for my office, so i dressed it up with a jacket and added some distracting shiny things.
