Feeling Tropical at Home

Did you have any tropical vacation plans for this summer that can canceled? I did not. I was supposed to go to Ireland, which is not exactly tropical, but really I just wish I could go anywhere at this point! Anyway, since I’m pretty much just sticking to my area, I thought it would be fun to do a tiny little tropical themed thing at my parents’ house. Now, it’s not a full-on theme. I didn’t make decorations or break out the tiki torches or anything, but I did make virgin pina coladas (a throwback to my childhood when we would make these all the time), wear a neon green swimsuit, and my new lemon lime earrings!

My friend has an Etsy shop called Twenty9fireflies and she handcrafts/laser cuts jewelry. When I saw that she posted these earrings I thought they were so cute and had to order them! You can buy lemon, lime, orange, or do a mix/match of lemon & lime which is what I did.

Wearing my swimsuit, tribal print shorts, earrings, and my refreshing drink in hand, I was set for another 100 degree day at home/my parents’ house.

My shorts are a few years old and I honestly can’t remember where they’re from! Possibly Kohl’s or Target, but I really don’t remember. I’ve linked to similar shorts and bathing suits (ribbed and waffle knit – the one I’m wearing from last year has a sort of pebbled texture).

Are you going through a heatwave where you live? How are you keeping cool?
