eat your heart out, MLB.

<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love baseball henleys on girls. I think they're adorably masculine-feminine. Which actually makes no sense if you think about it, so don't think about it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw8VU7dQGjdUtLVqVG5gxOxI5JB0HxDC5WfjOKIrHLxSCXajLnyRFoA3UOGJ1PzgqS4pFAZehRR798ZUyn2uLecgUiCcQjWgEU_zvEP0CEESvLsPCDZYwIrb7spfR-3o0MFPuQlcxcQo5h/s1600/S1britt3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw8VU7dQGjdUtLVqVG5gxOxI5JB0HxDC5WfjOKIrHLxSCXajLnyRFoA3UOGJ1PzgqS4pFAZehRR798ZUyn2uLecgUiCcQjWgEU_zvEP0CEESvLsPCDZYwIrb7spfR-3o0MFPuQlcxcQo5h/s400/S1britt3.jpg" t8="true" width="400" /></a></div> <span style="font-size: x-small;">sandals: saltwater brand. jeans: express. shirt: j.crew. bracelet: </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sienahansen?ref=pr_shop_more"><span style="font-size: x-small;">burntsiena designs</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupitHuSDMNWU-rg-hXwbvWXsjhVGyG8Ac82nfGEEUwbqmgdkGJty-d4Hmxl2SUy-0Gbm2bFmA3tQD1K6OqvJvhl3ET7TeYWH_a4E4l-EYc2y1tjfH_A2dS6xUaf5N-7v4ZB67RFXlJcN8/s1600/S1britt4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupitHuSDMNWU-rg-hXwbvWXsjhVGyG8Ac82nfGEEUwbqmgdkGJty-d4Hmxl2SUy-0Gbm2bFmA3tQD1K6OqvJvhl3ET7TeYWH_a4E4l-EYc2y1tjfH_A2dS6xUaf5N-7v4ZB67RFXlJcN8/s400/S1britt4.jpg" t8="true" width="280" /></a></div> Forgive me. I'm in a silly mood today. And by "silly" I of course mean "I feel like an MLB pitcher in this shirt." Too bad I never went for it in my early years. I have a sinking suspicion I would've rocked the mound. See below:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwts5A2Z7tTElI01Guf7s8Yn6wDUDms82uy7HwKc0SnU53UWxqOScTc5WBDs9rDkb3sMYhPzBVCqONsTyXov3Rz61iFgVxP5qKJMB5vMdhtK45hZSofdDuAsgOgtyBqiPTN_u0vVmWNIVt/s1600/S1britt1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwts5A2Z7tTElI01Guf7s8Yn6wDUDms82uy7HwKc0SnU53UWxqOScTc5WBDs9rDkb3sMYhPzBVCqONsTyXov3Rz61iFgVxP5qKJMB5vMdhtK45hZSofdDuAsgOgtyBqiPTN_u0vVmWNIVt/s400/S1britt1.jpg" t8="true" width="400" /></a></div> You're going to roll your eyes at me (roll away), but I can't stop laughing at the first pic in the pitching series above. Here's why:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaPWHZktMxga3EvSr0-ZjEy9mR1evx31phU6tgrhuhiDJiGaOE4OG4OvfPcKsptuwG-kEJPyFWCUJ16i4NZv6FMsRL_eeDpKemPqiWBaWf5LxxfyN7EWWd3KB57Jqxp_hOjCCLMOBEeOj/s1600/S1britt2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaPWHZktMxga3EvSr0-ZjEy9mR1evx31phU6tgrhuhiDJiGaOE4OG4OvfPcKsptuwG-kEJPyFWCUJ16i4NZv6FMsRL_eeDpKemPqiWBaWf5LxxfyN7EWWd3KB57Jqxp_hOjCCLMOBEeOj/s400/S1britt2.jpg" t8="true" width="280" /></a></div>One word: jowls. (Wait, is that even what "jowls" are? If not, it should be definition #2.)<br />Regardless, it's <a href="http://www.modlychic.com/2011/06/friend-friday-summer-trends-2011.html">Friend Friday</a>! Today's topic: 5 summer trends that I'm looking forward to wearing this season. Topics like this make me really wish I was more up-to-speed on trends...but here we go.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. wedge sandals. (I think these are a trend every summer...?)</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. braids. (I wear these year-round, but they're especially great to keep my neck cool in summertime.)</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. maxi dresses. (Didn't I say that for spring trends, too? Yep. Sure did. But I've hardly gotten a chance to wear mine. Surely trends can't change <em>that</em> fast...)</div><div style="text-align: center;">4. loose, flowy tops. </div><div style="text-align: center;">5. bright, neon nails. (I'm not in love with all-over neon (yet?), but it's fun on small-scale, like fingernails.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Friday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Want this look?

And, frankly, you have better things to do than read this all day. The same may or may not be true for myself. But either which way...</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">For me, Saturday has waaaaaay more emphasis on comfort and function than anything else. And I don't think I'm too weird to feel that way. So I wanted to keep things neutral and blend in...not trying to start an attention-grabbing "my sweats are better than your sweats" contest. (Although, truth be told, I defy you to come up with more comfy sweats than mine, which are actually my husband's, but they're also mine because I'm a firm believer and frequent proclaimer to him that "what's yours is mine and mine is yours" especially when it comes to his comfy sweats. And sometimes his socks. And maybe the munchies that he brings down to the couch. And pretty much everything that he's got that I might want. Heh. Wife of the Year, baby. Right here.)</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">AAAAAANYwee. I started with the grey sweater this morning, because it fits the bill for neutral, comfortable, and functional. And it's warm. But the neck is a little blah, so I threw on a basic button-up underneath. I wanted to wear old jeans today because...because old jeans are like a woman's best friend.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Here's the dilemma, though. These old jeans, which were calling out to me today from the depths of my closet, are bootcut, and I wasn't in the mood for that. But I ignored myself and just did a big ol' comfy-cuff at the ankle. And some canvas houndstooth slipons. Add a bright yellow nylon belt because it felt kind of industrial. Like a toolbelt. And, hey, you never know when you'll be passing by a construction site where they need some help with something and you'll be totally qualified and capable because, hey, check out the heavy-duty belt.<br /><br /></div><div align="center">Add some great messy braids (braids because my hair's too short for a cute topknot bun and messy because that's how they're going to look in 3 hours so I may as well make it look like I'm going for the look on purpose) and neutral bracelets because, actually, I really DON'T want to help out at any construction site today. I'm a girl, dangit. See these bracelets?</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Happy Saturday.</div>
