Life's a beach

This was such a fun day, this weekend was dead and so was Wollaston Beach (in Quincy, MA), which made taking pictures a breeze (pun intended, it was wicked windy). See.. not all preppy beach photos are from the Cape.

It is funny looking at these pictures, I'd hate me if I didn't know me, so I'll take this as a success.  If only you saw me on a Monday morning, when I'm still half asleep. Here, this is more accurate:

Yup graceful as the flowers I bought..... P.s. that photo of me kicking up sand... well yah, the wind blew it all back into my face. So much for trying to pretend it was perfect for a day, but the photo looks great!!!

Anyways, I loved these shorts when trying them on, but now looking at the photos, I'm not sure if I still "love" them. I probably could of gone one size bigger, but why do that when I can say I fit into one size smaller... yes I'm that girl. Printed shorts has always been a challenge for me, a challenge my bubble butt continuously wins, but it's all about that bass! These shorts are also really comfortable, so I think I'm going to tack down the pockets again, and forfeit storage space.
