Nothing says summer like shorts and tees, amiright? BUT, what do you do on the chillier days? Cuz let’s be serious – every day is a bit chilly when you’re living in San Francisco. Last weekend, my to-die-for-adorable parental units came to visit Chase and I, and so natch we had to take them to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Chase and I hadn’t done it yet either, so it was about stinking time we made the trek! I knew I wanted to wear something casual, comfy, and cute (duh), but also something I could easily add layers to in case it was freeeeeeeezing on the Golden Gate (which…it…WAS! Note to any future SF visitors: bundle up! The chill factor, especially as you get closer to the water is no joke!). Turns out my perfect-for-the-occasion outfit ended up being this long pair of Old Navy Bermuda shorts (cuz long=warmer) and this adorable tee (on sale!). I added warmth with a bright yellow cardigan and this military-inspired Old Navy jacket that I scored at a thrift store in SF last summer. Ay-Oh!
K truth be told, I still froze my kahonas off. But at least I looked cute while doing it! Mmmmmmright? Right guys? Right? Bueller? Bueller? K one more confession: Chase and my daddy walked across the Golden Gate and back – Momma and I only walked across, then hitched a bus ride back. Cuz ya know – we’re hard core like that. Overall, the parentals had a wonderful time and if I’m really being honest, I felt slit-my-wrist sad when they left. It’s always so hard to hang with family and then have to part ways again, isn’t it?
So I guess this leaves just one question…
GBO?

And in case you were wondering if I was making up the fact that I have parents and am actually an orphan who was discovered in a dumpster by some lovely family willing to take me in (which would maybe explain a lot)…
Turns out they’re real! Here’s my adorable momma.
Isn’t Ā ^ she ^ the cutest?
And adorable husband. What a California dreamboat.
Momma and Pops. Two of the finest individuals I’ve ever known. I adore these people.
There she be, in all her glory – the ominous Golden Gate.
Ummm, hello? Wind blown much?
Told you guys. The wind was straight cray cray up there!
Dream boat husband in his Old Navy military-inspired jacket. We felt real cool being all matchy-matchy that day.
Aaaaaand sometimes ^ that ^ happens. Yep. We’re big idiots.
Hope you have a Twinkle Toes Tuesday
(and that this week passes quickly for all of us!)
Thanks for reading!
