I think I’ve developed an unhealthy obsession with the Anasaz-Me patterned shorts (http://www.lulus.com/products/anasaz-me-print-red-shorts/37901.html). They’d be perfect for a pool party in the desert! Congrats on such a lovely sponsor!

I’ve been obsessing over the paper bag, high waisted look, and these Sass and the City Taupe Pants (http://www.lulus.com/products/sass-and-the-city-taupe-pants/37969.html) look just light weight enough to pair with a tank and strappy wedges for a summer pool party! Thanks for the opportunity!

I know this doesn’t really keep with the pool party theme, but I’m currently looking for a less soul sucking job, and I want to wear this: http://www.lulus.com/products/figure-drawing-class-color-block-dress/37615.html to the interviews. Plus, easy to accessorize and go from interview to celebratory positive interview drinks!
