September 3, 2012

Posted 09/12

{Contrast Top: Sheinside, Striped Tank, Shorts, Shoes : H&M, Necklace: c/o Loren Hope, Bracelet: c/o Loren Hope, Watch: Aldo}

The last long days of summer…

Suntan lotion,

Two pairs of little bare feet,

pool time,

The 15th and 16th date of summer (more on that soon),

movies,

Ohio State and Wisconsin football,

Trip packing,

perpetual eating,

and thankfulness for these blessings.

Happy Labor Day Friends!

P.S. Excuse the short shorts…didn’t realize till after the photos that they are borderline inapprop. with heels…not cool. Don’t take modern modeste notes from this one girls…;)

P.S.S. Last day to enter the custom Maybooks giveaway! Get on that!

The True Beauty Files

A lookbook for the modern modeste.

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

~ Audrey Hepburn

With your legs it would be a crime to not wear shorts like that every once in a while 😉 I really like how unique your outfit turned out!

I really like the hair… and also the newly shaped eyebrows!

If you have time/interest in doing some hair posts, I’d love to see them.

The shorts and heels do make your legs look miles long–I don’t think they’re too short! I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend!
