oh hi guys! today is my first “real” outfit post in almost two weeks and i’m happy to be back in full swing! i actually still have two more days of coverage from the bike tour to share with you, but i figured i should probably break up the monotony with some good ol’ outfit posts and giveaways and other fun fashioney stuff as per usual. so this is my outfit from yesterday when brendan and i took a casual bike ride to berkeley to do some birthday shopping. ok, it was his birthday, but i figured i could join in on the fun, too. so we rode over and stopped at a few shops where i totally scored a bunch of cute new clothes including this rad vintage felt hat. though i’ll be honest when i say that i actually only wore it when i was walking around and posing for these pictures, because it would fly right off my head if i tried to keep it on while riding downhill.
and yeah, i’m still riding around town on a bike now that i’m back. you’d think i’d want a break, but quite the opposite. my legs are feeling strong and the summer has finally arrived in northern california, so i’m trying to soak up the last little bits of vacation time before it’s back to school and back to the grindstone.

I LOVE the light mauve/light brown color theme you have going on in your outfit. It's perfect for the quiet last days of summer. Plus, I love the picture of you on your bike with the car in the background– was that on purpose? :)
