Stuff and Things, 8/28

+ I tried: I watched one and a half episodes of the The Summer I Turned Pretty. I'm now sad to report that my IQ lowered by 7 points in those 67 minutes and I will not ever get that time back. (The nickname Belly bothers me more than it should.) 

The funny thing is that I had watched the first episode back when it first came out and never went any further, so this doesn't come as a complete shock to me. Everyone is talking about it, so I thought I'd try again. Nope.

+Okay, onto Fashion Files: I'm really trying here guys. I have resigned myself to summer never being over and never getting to wear fall clothes again. Scott took a video of me complaining about summer and he thinks it'll be some "gotcha" come January. No way. I don't love cold wind but you will not catch me complaining about winter weather. Now, it DID cool down this week but I'm mostly in disbelief that the heat and humidity could ever end. 

Using "color pop" here because my backgrounds aren't quite pinterest-worthy.

This is a random $10 tee from the PX and Free People pull-on shorts from the beginning of the summer. I got the shorts for $30 at the PX. I probably wouldn't pay the Nordstrom price ^. 

 It's this bag which I'm still not sure about. 

I like how it looks. I like the Stitchfix brand. It's trendy but I don't know that I like the trend, if that makes sense. 

Keds from last year. These are similar. 

Old Target pull-on shorts, old AE tee from last summer, and this Aerie button-down. 

I bought these sandals 2(?) years ago from Madewell and I've loved them ever since. They have seen better days so I went out and got a pair of Tevas this summer to replace them and the Madewell ones are so much better.

 But you can't find them anywhere, ever. It was a fluke year or so of them being sold on the website. Sad. 

Same 2020 Universal Thread pull-on shorts and then I ordered two different NFL tees from Old Navy. Definitely love them. Wait for the LDW sale that I'm sure is coming!

Adidas (currently all muddy, so cleaning suede will be my weekend project)

+I also have been watching a ton of reels about hair lately. I tried a few things, thinking maybe they'd work for me. For example, I have naturally wavy hair. I thought I could try the curly girl methods and went in with some curl cream on wet hair. It did actually give me good beach hair but definitely no curl. I do like the curl cream a lot more than a pomade or a gel. 

When I see tutorials and the person has naturally straight hair or thin hair, my results are never quite the same. It's why I never go down the hair rabbitholes with new styles; they never work the way I see them work on the internet.
