Fashion Blogger On Vacation

  Greetings friends! As you might have guessed by the title, this post has to do with me going out of town. ;) My parents and I took a two-night trip to a little town by a lake in the forested mountains. We have been visiting this little town for the past several years and enjoy its fresh air, peaceful setting, and surrounding area full of hiking trails. Take a look at some of the scenery, as well as what I wore on our little vacation.

  On Wednesday I wore my navy blue skirt, retro styled t-shirt, i-cord necklace, and yellow sandals. In the above photo you see me by the creek behind the property of the house we were "borrowing" from our friends (thanks for letting us stay!). I may look pristine here, but alas, it wasn't meant to stay that way.

The lake to which we hiked.

  In the late afternoon/evening we went on a short hike to a pretty little lake filled with lily-pads. Though short, the trail was on rocky terrain. On the way back I slipped and landed on my tailbone and right elbow. Though camera and lenses remained unharmed, my elbow suffered from the fall. To make a long story short, it's magnificently bruised, with some scrapes and a small gash on the tip of the joint. Hence, you will see me in band-aids for a little while. ;)

Oh look, I match the porch.

  Thursday was a laid back day in which I wore an equally laid-back outfit of Bermuda shorts, a graphic tee and a couple of accessories to make it cute. While Dad went on a hike, Mom and I enjoyed  time relaxing by the creek and visiting the general store. Later on we went for a walk through the neighborhood. When it was time for dinner, the three of us visited one of our favorite pizza places - we even got some take-out ice cream pie.

The injured elbow.  An area outside the bandage is also scraped, but it's hard to tell.

                      

Posing by our dirty car when we got back home

   Friday was our traveling home day. We left town around one o'clock and an hour later stopped in a town for lunch and a shopping trip at the hotel emporium. It was nearly six o'clock when we arrived home, and there was some time for a few outfit photos before our dog-watching friends dropped Copper off. As you can see, my hot weather attire is simple, with another t-shirt and pair of Bermuda shorts - I do wear shorts, but prefer to wear longer ones for modesty.

No really...our car is dirty!

 There you have it folks! I hope you enjoyed this look at what a fashion blogger looks like when she travels as well as some views of beautiful California. Have a beautiful weekend. :)

Now here's a question for you that has baffled me: How do you hot-weather gals find *cute* clothes that can be modest without layering them (i.e. skirts that don't need slips and tops that don't need camisoles)?

This is the day the Lord has made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.
