Happy weekend, everyone! Well... for me at least. I'm off for five whole days! I'm so excited. I have an amazing weekend planned for us. We're up to all of our old tricks - lighthouses, off the beaten path tourist traps, historic villages, shipwrecks, festivals... and lots of cherries. Can anyone guess whereabouts we're going in Michigan? We'll be leaving tomorrow morning and heading back home before the 4th, so we can spend it with friends in the city. So excited!
We've had some storms rolling in tonight. It's been a pretty strange summer so far. It's been cold, then super hot, then stormy, then cold, then sunny. The weather can't figure itself out yet! I'm not complaining about tonight though... the atmosphere was amazing. We took a drive down past the beach and the sky was so dark. June gloom had to hit one more time before July arrives tomorrow!
This is probably my favorite outfit I've worn in the past few months. Lately I've been taking the simple route with my outfits and I've been getting a little bored! Sure it's easy to throw on a pair of jeans with a simple top, but it's not any fun! When I first started blogging, I was a lot more daring... and dressed how I wanted despite the crazy looks and I want to get back to that point. Here's to a summer full of wearing exactly what I want to wear... everyday!
This skirt is probably my favorite skirt ever... and it's not even mine! It's going around to the girls in the Delightful Dozen currently. The length, the print, the material, the shape... everything about it is perfect. Do you think the girls would notice if I didn't ship it off to the next person? Hehe! So far Julie and James have both styled it up... you can see how they wore it at our Facebook page!
I hope you all have an amazing 4th of July weekend! I'll be back on Tuesday with tons of outfit photos from our crazy, adventurous weekend. Be safe and enjoy lots of sparklers, BBQ, fireworks, friends/family and fun! ♥

This is one of the cutest outfits I've ever seen you wear Tieka! (and that's saying a lot because you have so many adorable outfits...) The pattern mixing here is so wonderful and I just adore the prints on both pieces!
I hope you have a lovely weekend full of fun and adventures with Brett! :D
The combination of the hearts and florals is super cute, I would want to wear that everyday, too! Enjoy your five day weekend, girl!

I love the outfit! And the location is stunning as well. You always find the perfect areas :)
Have fun on your vaca! Since you said "lots of cherries" I'm going to guess and say you're going to Traverse City area? :D
Yay for heading out of town. I am doing the same and am actually excited to wake up super early to get on the road! The storm here in Chicago turned from pretty and breeze to quite frightening fast! Have a Happy 4th!
I love how you mixed prints, that's such a good look. And I absolutely love the ring! It's super cute.
Beautiful Tieka, I can see why you love this outfit so much. It is so well styled and lovely on you. What a brilliant mix of patterns. You enjoy your weekend too. Dawn Suitcase Vignette xo
I'm off for a 5 day weekend as well! I hope you enjoy all your adventures planned! I'm going on a little roadtrip. I really love the pattern mixing here, and envy your cooler weather! :D
I love your combination of patterns and colors! What a perfect outfit for warmer weather!
I adore this outfit, it might be my new favorite! The pretty mixed prints and shades together are perfect. I have the Garrens in black and they are the most comfy platform ever! We've been having the same crazy summer weather and it's been super hot...love when the storms roll in!

I love these patterns together! And the heart ring is so perfect with the heart print! I have a bit of love for hearts. ;)
I'm trying to get back to wearing more daring outfits as well- I'm kind of in a rut because I'm always so tired in the mornings. Maybe I should start planning the next day's outfit at bedtime!
I love the mixed prints in your outfit today! Happy 4th of July weekend and hooray for wearing whatever you want!
Cherries? Traverse City? I am so excited because I am headed to Grayling which is near that area for a little summer fun on the lake! Hope you have a great vacation too!
OH I love this look so much! I love pattern mixing and the print of the top is perfect with the skirt! :):)
DUDE are you going to Traverse city?? If so, jealous! I have only driven through :( We are going on vacation in August to the UP! I want to live up there, it is my favorite place to be.
Great pic!

I'm so happy to hear you are taking 5 days off, how wonderful! Enjoy it! I can see why you love this skirt, it's perfecto and it's soo "Tieka-ish!"...maybe the Delightful Dozen should let you keep it after the other girls have styled it. :D

It's already swarming with crazy here in Traverse City. The carnival rides are poised to run, and the beaches are full of people.... it's my favorite weekend to LEAVE my hometown and find a quieter beach! (but enjoy it!)
Sounds like a trip to Traverse City is in the works? Just a guess ;) My best friend is getting married there in October and I can't wait - I'll get to spend some time in GR for Art Prize, then go to TC, and then spend a day or two in Frankfort! Perfect. (I miss MI way too much now that I'm in NC.) Love, love, love your outfit here and with the location you chose it looks like a magazine spread! Have an awesome weekend :)
Is it Traverse City!? I love this little outfit!
Interesting mix of patterns! I like it!!

Really cute outfit Tieka! I love the pattern mixing. Sounds like you have an amazing weekend planned!

Love that shirt hun its gorgeous and a great colour! I've been into pattern mixing lately too - easy way yo make a simple outfit less boring x
ooooo that sounds like such an amazing weekend!!! I hope you have a tonne of fun honey!! Also, i have to agree with everyone else - your pattern mixing is amazing! I adore this look :)
We had the most amazing storms by my house last night! Tons of huge trees were knocked down, and the neighborhood was littered with branches! We, and a bunch of other people lost power, but luckily for us we are on the same grid as the hospital. It, of course, have generators, so everyone in it is ok, and it means we get our power back asap! :D
This outfit is lovely! You mixed prints beautifully! <3
Your weekend sounds like lots of fun! I can't wait to see all your pics!
Absolutely fantastic combo! Never would have thought to pair those two patterns together, but they work so well in this outfit! Love! :)
Beautiful outfit - I love that your ring matches the print on the blouse!
The weather here in London has been exactly the same! It's alternating between really hot days, thunderstorms, rain, cold and cloudy. You never know what you'll wake up to!
