While at the beach, I didn't swim. I'm not much of a swimmer due to a horrific accident as a child where my face was smashed on the ocean's floor--leaving me with open cuts in my mouth from my braces. Oh, and I don't like getting my hair wet (if you're a 'sistah', you'll understand), haha. Well anyway, I decided to wear an orange sundress. The sundress was a big hit on the beach; I caught some cuties looking at me :]. Eh, and a creepy old man making gestures our way. My dress oozed of fun and effervescence that it reminded me of the Resort 2009 Christian Dior collection. I felt like standing by the shore line and letting the ocean wind blow through my dress! Oh wait, I did do that.
Although this weekend was fun, and sent me into a world of giddy girlishness on the verge of adulthood, it's time for me to return back to the fast-paced world of mine. Man, why can't life always be this easy?

I'm so glad you had fun!! I totally agree life is blowing past us and sometimes we don't have time for friends. I know I don't!! Sadly...
ReplyDeleteBut your dress is adorable and I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the ocean due to the horrific accident when you were younger.
Live.Love.Laugh.
OOOOOOOOH looks like fun!!!!
ReplyDeletepretty pretty dress!!!
it really looks like fun :) cool hehe
ReplyDeletethat´s great!
ReplyDeletealways so nice to take a time off!!!
a kiss!
love your dress!
You always look so happy. I love that photo of the feet in the sand.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had an amazing time at the beach and I love the dress! I know what you mean about not wanting get your hair wet. At work I'm designated pool deck girl because I HATE having to get my hair wet. It's such a process to get it straight in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that life seems to go by too fast and that we should all take time to "stop and smell the roses."
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your accident. I had braces for a total of four years and definitely remember some bad experiences (like getting hit by a basketball in the mouth in gym).
As for your question about my bio internship. I work with a protein database. I just started last week and so far I've learned how to navigate the database and how to use different tools to compare proteins from different species to find if the protein is virtually the same in diverse species.
I hope you don't mind that I have added you to my blogroll. :)
P. S. I like the dress!
Sorry to hear about the accident. That is no fun at all. I hope you brave the water again some day. If you do, you'll be like "geez, I've missed this".
ReplyDeleteAnd let me tell you, I know what you're talking about with the hair. But when summertime comes, I do what I call my "hair break", because swimming for me is inevitable. I still go to the hair salon, but I do it a lot less often and I wear my hair back in a bun or braids often. I tend to let go. You can't be on your A game all the time. xoxo
U look hip and awesome in that color! Glad ur having a time of ur life :) That's just what u shud be doing while living in this fast paced world.
ReplyDeleteI like your music taste :-)
ReplyDeletelovely color on you, I must say... I want to visit the beach now.
