and so, the second week begins. they're really easing us into it -- first a 3 day week, now a 4 day week, and then next week we'll get the real deal going. my camera was being kind of wonky this morning, so the pictures are even less good quality than usual, but eh i'm too lazy to care that much.

first, the outfit -- i adore this dress. i got it for like $10 at forever 21 two or three years ago, and i adore it. my bff even has the same one. i love that it's casual enough to wear on a regular summer day, but dressy enough so that you can (and i have!) wear it to a wedding. and then i just wore my simple black flats (target, of course!)



and the lunch -- whole wheat pancake sandwiches (almond butter + strawberry jam), black grapes (my favorite color of grapes, fyi), carrots and roasted chickpeas. i made a batch of the chickpeas this weekend -- just bake til crispy, toss with olive oil and various herbs and spices, and voila! easy peasy. i like the crunch factor.
