Yay for long weekends! I've loved having four days off to recoup. I've spent a lot of time this weekend out with friends, seeing good bands, eating lots of food, watching movies and sleeping in tons. It was super desperately needed. Well, Memorial Day marks the "beginning" of summer, right? The weather is here to prove it. 90 degrees today. I'm currently in my studio just sweating it out. Don't worry, the cake batter ice-cream helped earlier today.
Spring flew by in two seconds, it felt like. I always feel a tad guilty running a personal style blog in summer because I dress so simply. In Michigan, the summers are always so hot and humid. All you ever feel like wearing is a simple cotton skirt/top or dress with sandals. I'll try to keep the creativity up, but don't expect much. ;)
I also just wanted to quickly say... thank you for your amazing support regarding my previous post. I've received over 200 emails from people who are going through the same situation or have gone through something similar. Most of the emails are 5-6 paragraphs long and insanely detailed and so heartfelt. There were several that brought me to tears. So thank you. I would love more than anything to respond to every single one, but I'm sorry if I can't. But I just wanted to say here that I read every single one (probably twice) and it means more than you know. Thank you.

Totally challenging to dress here already, I miss layering because it's the creative part of getting dressed. But the sundress is now my best friend. Hello, summer.

I do admire you so much, Tieka!
Be strong, girl. You have people all over the worl to support you. I am from Brazil and I can't describe how much I am in love with your outfits <3
I feel the same way about summer dressing. Lately, I'm living in cut off shorts and cotton t-shirts. It's time to get creative!
I love this outfit your wearing, especially those cute yellow sandals!
Oh those sandals, swoon-a-loon!
I love your style all seasons but discovered your blog in Summer and totally fell in love, so no worries about your "simpler" style, we love it!
I'm glad to see you are enjoying life and having a smiley outlook on things, life's challenges always bring the most unexpected blessings in the end :)
Have a great week pretty girl,

Lovely outfit. To be honest I love personal style bloggers whose outfits are something that I really feel is attainable and like I would wear - your blog definitely fits the bill! Glad to hear you got the chance to recharge a bit over the weekend x
This outfit is so gorgeous, and I love the pop of yellow on your feet- gives just the right springy touch! And I'm so sorry to hear about you and Brett, I genuinely wish both of you the best through this difficult time and I admire you so much for still being able to get up in the morning, get dressed fabulously and run a fantastic blog. You're a fashion hero and a female hero- we're all rooting for you girl!!

So Pretty , simple and beautiful dress. amazing pictures.

I love those sandals! I actually found this blog because I was searching for photos of people actually wearing them. They look great on you. I was a little worried that they would make me look short, but I might not care!
