Dust Bowl

The weather in California has finally heated up! This past week was sweltering, yet I spent every minute I could outdoors. Aside from my July 4th excursions, I also spent an entire day canoeing the Russian River. The trip was so relaxing and although the rowing was quite laborious at times, all in all I had a wonderful time. I've acquired a pretty gnarly tan line (which I honestly didn't think was possible) since I've been spending so much of this summer out in the sun. Thankfully, it's not that bad and I'm still more pale than most people. Yeah!

I've had this shirt for over three years now; I picked it up at a truck stop in New Mexico when traveling cross country with my best friend all the way to Florida. While scanning the knick knacks and souvenirs during one of our many driving breaks, I came across this shirt with two indian heads and a dreamcatcher on it. The combination of the funky acid wash and general awesomeness screamed out to me at the time, and I'm so glad I made the decision to get it. Even though I don't wear this shirt that often (since it doesn't fit with my style that well anymore), I love the fact that it stirs up huge waves of nostalgia for me. I truly enjoyed the summer I spent travelling across the US, and this shirt helps me to remember all the best parts of that trip.
