Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Good Thursday to all you readers out there.
I hope your week has been pretty awesome so far.
Awkward:
  • My dog locking me out of the house.  It is a long story involving a leash, a towel and a door knob.
  • Realizing you forgot to add the eggs to the cake mix 5 minutes after you put the cake in the oven.  (I did go back and add the eggs, all was not lost)
  • Having to leave your old toilet on the curb in front of your house for bulk pick up to come and retrieve.
  • Cutting the heck out of my thumb, but worse...one can't text with a band aid on their thumb.
  • The dog throwing up UNDER the bed.
 Awesome:
  • Husband bringing me some delicious macaroons from the Ritz Carlton.
  • A friend delivering the most beautiful orchid to my front door just to celebrate the fact that we have been friends for 10 years.
  • Seeing tiny little green tomatoes on my tomato plants.
  • Finally being able to get my hair into a ponytail again!
  • New kitchen knives!!
A linen skirt for summer is a must have. 
 I don't mind the wrinkles of linen at all.
This outfit called for a pop of
 turquoise along side the pink and orange.
It was one of those bad summer hair days 
and
 I was so happy to be able to get my hair
 into a baby bun.

Are you a fan of linen for summer?
Do you mind the wrinkle factor?

Oh my goodness, some of your awkwards this week sound pretty bad- hope your thumb is okay! Was it the new knives? And if my dog threw up UNDER the bed I think I would cry. What a sweet friend you have, to bring you flowers just because. Have a great day!

Brett - this is such a great summer outfit, you look so comfortable yet pulled together! I really like the texture of the linen when paired with that top. Linen wrinkles don't bother me at all. And stripes ... you can't go wrong with them. :)

Brett you look adorable, I love that top. And yes, for some reason I always forget to add the eggs in my recipes.

I wore something a little similar today! Lacey top and patterned skirt. Great minds think alike!

Funny to forget to add eggs to the cake!
I like your linen skirt. One of the advantages of linen is that it is useless to spend too much time in ironig it!
