works cited: target tunic; thrifted jorts (classy, i know); hat from walmart (emergency purchase because i am fair-skinned like a vampire and burn in ten seconds and there was no other place around to find a hat and yes i know the mart of darkness is the heart of corporate evil but i fear skin cancer even more than an unethical $7 hat)
Christopher and I arrived in Maine to a luxurious east coast heat wave and beautiful sunny days. Yesterday, we took walks across the mudflats and laid in the hammock in the sunshine. I fear my vacation uniform isn't going to be very exciting, because I'm planning on spending the next two weeks reading on the porch, swimming, and taking walks and not worrying a bit about what I'm wearing. This involves being shoe-less and make-up-less as much as possible. Extra points for hair that hasn't been shampooed for three-plus days. It's the opposite of a gas station around here. No shirt, no shoes, no problem.

Oh I love your fashion! So refreshing to see someone with a clean, simple and unique style who doesn't need to wear a million different styles to look good. Lovely blog :)

simple and chic. perfection.
Well, you look wholesome and downright sexy at the same time. And you look so happy, I hope you're having a wonderful time!
So jealous. I love Maine. Next time you go, bring me please. Can't wait to see more pictures!
What an absolutely perfect East Coast look. Love the straw hat. Can't wait to see more pictures.
P.S. I gave you a shout out on my Summer Trends post for Friend Friday.
I've never been to Maine but want to take a drive there one day. Post more Maine pictures from your walks!
I like your beach bum look! I have to wash my hair daily, but the beach is magical because it looks good unwashed there. hehe
I've been reading your blog for a long time now, it's so neat to see you come here to Maine! To Kennebunkport, no less! Have a good vacation!
Like your mama said, don't waste time apologizing for casual outfits! As if Dear Reader isn't in her yoga clothes until school starts (at least 18 hrs of the day). -Mainer missing Maine
I've always wanted to go to Maine, glad you're having a lovely time!

Maine is my favorite state ever! My uncle lives there. So pretty. Enjoy your time!
Awesome, have fun and enjoy your relaxing time! I'm going to be in Maine next month visiting the in-laws. It's always a nice and relaxing time out there.
I always wanted to visit Maine - I really hope that I'll get in a camping trip there or something this year since it's my last full summer on the east coast.

Fear not. We shalt not judge you on this hat purchase! Especially because pic #2 is adorable! Enjoy your vaca!
Oh. My. Goodness. That all just sounds like heaven! Have a wonderful time!!! PS. you look suuuuper cute in a Walmart hat!
no shirt, no shoes, no problem. amen. there's a country song about that, you know. you look like you're having fun already. keep it up dude.
It's definitely best to fear skin cancer, use alot of sunblock!
Love the bare midriff look, very summery, however with my bit of tummy....I can't pull that kind of look off. That, and the fact that I don't like to bare too much skin.
I'm just curious who won the Ruche giveaway?
Thanks!

I am so jealous you have a house in Maine by the water! That is definitely somewhere I have always wanted to go and we plan on honeymooning there and in Boston in the very near future. :)

i went to kennebunkport once a few years ago with a friend, it was gorgeous. precaution is always best so we'll forgive you the walmart purchase! have a wonderful holiday!
Very simple and classic and perfect for laid-back beachiness! Love it :) And also very jealous you're spending so much time at the beach!
we'll let it slide this time, because sunburns / skin cancer sucks and you are too cute in your breezy vacay outfit. just don't start buying food and dvds and plants and toys and guns there. ;-)
I love how simple and uncluttered summer looks can be. This is effortless-looking and awesome.
I'm usually just a quiet little lurker on your blog, but just HAD to comment to say I absolutely love your little literary reference there with the 'Mart of Darkness'! And also I am jealous of your sunny weather.
That is all.
kerry--ha, thank you! actually i can't take credit for the "mart of darkness" pun--i think christopher came up with it first.
don't be too jealous of the sun; it's long gone now and the wind and rain are blowing brrr!
Great blog, I love your style and that you aren't affraid of doing something different. The name of your blog drew me in straight away and I had to check out what it was all about :) Cool post, after looking at some of your older posts I now am I follower <3

I love the simple vacation look. It's so refreshing after coming out of colder months. And I love that hat, Wal-Mart or not.

I hate to admit but the thought of you having two weeks of leisure time gave me a little flare of jealousy.
You look beautiful and relaxed, even despite your hat of evil.
I accept your apology for Walmart and hereby absolve you of any guilt from said purchase. As a fellow member of the vampire burn in ten seconds under the sun club, I understand. That being said, you look damn cute here :)
that white tied up tee is so cute!

Enjoy your vacation!

Maine is gorgeous. Have fun on your vacation! As a fellow grad student (in a totally different field), I'm jealous that you get one :)
