Outfit and Occasion

Outfit:

Strappy Back Yoga Romper (Forever21 online), $18.00, Joe Shorts (hand-me-down), Sandals (Sevilla, Spain), $8.00, Clutch (Richmond Thrift Store, VT), $9.00, Jewelry (gifted – earrings made by cousin Sam Chalfin), Geometric Print Towel (Forever21 online), $10.00

This black strappy thing is actually a leotard romper that is excellent for my sass-filled Zumba nights, but it works well as a top too!  Adds a little spice to a plain black/white ensemble and allows this fun clutch I found at my new FAVORITE thrift shop to really pop!  (Not pictured together, but you get the gist).

Occasion:

Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival

This weekend was beautiful and HOT.  Tom and I saw the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival in Stowe!  So cool!  So many adorable little ones and people watching and, of course, the ginormous dozen or so balloons that filled the sky right in front of us!  We had an awesome soft pretzel and camped out as each balloon inflated and took off!

We also went to an arts festival in Waterbury that had beautiful jewelry, paintings, postcards, and beyond, and I ate homemade pasta with fresh pesto and local sausage…yum!

And we went to the bolton potholes to chill.  This is a natural swimming hole that is in the mountain and has layers of pools to relax in and spots to jump from.  It looks like this…

To top it all off, we went cruising in Amanda (Tom’s sister’s) boat with their little boy, Will!  Maximizing breeze and cool water to beat the humidity.  Love the sun, but definitely have had my fair share for the week!
