What I Wore Wednesday - Weekend Trip to Hershey

This past weekend, I went to Hershey and had a blast!


I felt like a diva when we had a driver pick us up... To get a rental car!


My sister lives near Hershey, so we stayed at her place. Meet Marley!


We were going to go tubing on the river, but the weather called for rain, so we went shopping instead! We went to this great farmer's market which had a soup shop! I always wanted to try Borscht, and they had it! It wasn't bad, either! Jack got Dahl, which was soo yummy! And for dessert, my sister, Jeni, bought amazing cookies...which I kept sneaking.

When we got done, we headed to a small festival right near my sister's house.


They had a tractor display and parade type thing there. Yeah... she lives in the country, hahaha.






I won two fish! Apparently I'm really good at throwing ping pong balls into fish bowls? Must be all of that beer pong practice! At least we made a little girl's day when we gave them to her!



I wore a Topman multi colored shirt with my H&M teal shorts and Topman chukka espadrilles! Sorry about the lighting...It was getting dark by the time I realized I didn't get an outfit picture!

The next day, my mom came into town, so we, again, went shopping in the morning! Jack and I had to leave early and head to the Beauty and the Beast musical!! I was so excited. It's my favorite Disney movie and I haven't seen the musical.







Hershey Theatre is gorgeous!

Like a good audience member, I listened when they said not to take pictures! But you should totally see it!! It was amazing. My only issue was that it's inappropriate the sing a long out loud! So on our way to dinner, I had to let it all out!

It was my mom's birthday, so we took her out to dinner on the river. It was nice... until a storm crept in and we had to be taken to shelter during our meal. Mess!


For dessert, we headed to Sweet Frog, which is amazing! They have really low calories frozen yogurt with a bunch of options for toppings!

Mine explains my personality well. All over the place mess!

It was a terrible picture, so I cut my face. Haa! It was a little chilly, so I wore my H&M plain maroon sweater with my H&M linen pants! My green/brown boots are from Topman!

The festival was still going strong that night and let off some nice light!

After going there to gamble some quarters (I know, big spenders!), they ended the festival with a really great firework show! Not bad for a small town!




I'd say that's a nice weekend!

What did you do this week? And what did you wear??

Thrifty Thursday - H&M

I have been quite busy shopping lately, and I just can’t get enough! Good thing I have Thrifty Thursday to show them off! I’ve picked up some really great items this week, and I’m excited for you to see!

H&M is having up to 75% off sales and each store has something different to offer (depending on what sold in their store!) So I’ve been feverish in going to each of their stores in my area. I’ve been to 5 so far… Out of control!

I've been trying to update my wardrobe so I don't have more of the same. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and shake things up with different items so I can gain totally new looks!

I did, however, pick up more shirts for dyeing... Shocking!

H&M Basics – $5.95


H&M Rolled Short Sleeved Buttoned Shirt - $9.95



I plan on playing with blacks and reds with my dyeing this time! When I get a chance, I’ll show you! I also love the pale hunter green buttoned shirt; we’ll keep that color!

I also picked up a few fun summery bottoms!

H&M Linen Drawstringed Pants (L.O.G.G.) - $19.95

I normally wear very fitted clothing, but I thought I’d try these comfortable classics out. I typically don’t like the way baggier items hang on my body, but these fit really well on the butt and drape really nicely! I also love the versatility with the drawstrings on the bottom. You can set them at any length on your leg and make it work! I’m pretty excited about these!

Teal Cuffed Shorts (&Shorts) - $24.95

Color is obviously all over this summer, and I couldn’t pass up these shorts! The color is really fun, and I think it will pair well with a lot of things in my wardrobe already!

TIP: Earth tones will be a big trend in the fall, so I think it's smart to transition your clothing as the season continues, so it's not an abrupt change into fall clothing! Plus, I've been obsessed with earth tones for a bit!

Can’t wait to wear these out! Do you have any suggestions on how I can incorporate these new items? Colors, clothing combos, and opinions all welcome!!
