Happy Hippie

Happy Fourth of July, Reader-Friends!
The home Internet is still out, so I'm sending out my little holiday greeting, once again, from the boyfriend's parent's house! I hope you all are in the American spirit today, celebrating God and country in a safe and fun way! Here at the Hildebrant home (that's the boys last name, by the way), we are are gearing up for some big boom action down at one of the city parks around these parts. I'm more of the sit back and enjoy the pretty stuff in the sky kind of gal, but I do have boyfriend who is a flipping pyromaniac enjoys the thrill of setting off the explosives. His daddy bought some toys for the "post-show" later tonight. *sigh* pray for me.

Well, guess what, my friends! I have another thrifty rich outfit to share with you! I'm calling this one "Happy Hippie" because it's a little more on the artsy side. I love the hippie look, and I have notice it's coming back in style lately...and when it goes out, I will probably still be wearing it. Why? This stuff is comfy, comfy!

I felt like this would be a good Fourth of July outfit, but I think I will be wearing this in the early fall. The skirt is somewhere between heavy and light. It will definitely keep your legs warm but the way it swishes and flows keeps it breezy. And hey, there is a plus- with the length no need to shave too high :)


I'm clearly no model, but I think my BFF did a pretty fantastic photog. job! Yes? If so, compliments will be delivered to Miss Jessica Nicole, who is looking into starting a blog of her own. Let's encourage her!


Hat and necklace were about ten bucks each at Claires. The flip-flops are Yellowbox; I bought them during the Fall, so they were on sale for like five or ten bucks.


Both the top and skirt make this a "thrifty rich" outfit. They are both from the Goodwill, Hernando. Top was maybe four bucks and skirt was five or six. (I'm going to get better at getting you more accurate prices.)

This is the purse, Jon bought me while we were in Gattlinburg with his parents earlier this summer.


I'm looking a little Pilgrim-ish in this one, huh?



This is probably my favorite shirt right now. It goes with EVERYTHING and I love the way it fits. The material doesn't squeeze...Muffins are not on the menu! :)


Happy Fourth to you all!
