Summer Longing

I've been thinking about summertime non-stop lately. This semester is already going by really fast, so I think it will be here before we know it! Here are some things I'm looking forward to:

1. Swimsuits! I'm in love with these retro-inspired swimsuits. These particular ones are a little out of my price range (especially #1), but I just can't help but share. Hopefully, good ole Target
will come up with some comparable options by May.

2. Road trip with my best friend. Jordan and I are planning a weekend getaway to Springfield, Missouri right after school lets out. In addition to a much needed break from classes, I'll be turning 21 right around that time as well, so we'll have all kinds of things celebrate! Our only specific plan as of right now (since neither of us know much about the city), is to visit the Red Velvet Boutique & Sweet Shoppe! We're hoping to go there first and ask some like-minded local ladies about some of their favorite Springfield spots. We can't wait!

3. Cookouts! One of my all time favorite summer activities. My mom and I share an unhealthy obsession with all the adorable summer dishes at Walmart, so we're always looking for an excuse to snatch some up. Is there anything better than biting into a juicy homemade burger on a warm (okay, hot) summer day? Yum.

4. Summer clothes. As much as a enjoy wearing winter layers, I love the simplicity of summer style. This flow-y maxi dress would be an ideal summer outfit for me--one piece, and you're done! Minimal effort is my thang.

There's nothing I love more than Oklahoma summers, and this one's gonna be a good'n. What are you most looking forward to this summer?
