Just as the title suggests, we are ;), kidding! Totally feeling the vibe of this song as the sun has FINALLY shown its round little yellow face around Berkeley. Better late than never, right? Since everything is starting to come to a slow halt and loose ends are being tied up as summer is finally coming to a conclusion, my friends and I took the opportunity to take in the sun and stroll around Oakland for a little thrifting adventure and I can't wait to show you all the new, or rather old, goodies I found!

So sorry for the lack of outfit posts as of late, working at a daycare with little itty bitty babies does not result in the best outfits, trust me. I practically live in my moccasins, leggings and large denim to get through the day as these little snot-filled cute little goobers are not to be trusted around anything but (but I LOVE them to pieces still!) Despite the poopy diapers, the runny noses, the barf up, the meltdowns, they are secretly adorable, sweet and charming, whatever they say I feel obliged to do. I'm a sucker for them sweet talkers...or sweet babblers since none of them can really talk yet.

With my bra trying to make a slight appearance, this outfit is a little bit on the risqué side, so I tried to balance it out by toning it down with earth tones and simple basics. I'm pretty much a walking American Apparel ad, with the mesh body suit and the brown corduroy skirt, they might as well start paying me an advertising fee! I'll also take free clothes as a payment, just throwing that option out there. I paired the outfit with my new Dolce Vita harness booties that I originally planned on purchasing, at full price in black, but then I found them  40% off in brown, so I cave into my reasonable asian brain and never looked back. If you haven't noticed a familiar color scheme I'm diggin' lately, here it is! Brown, black and tan, that's it. I can't get over the simplicity of these colors and how they remind me of camels, chocolates and everything lovely like that.
