Happppppyyyy Suuunnnddaaayyy! I cannot believe that this week marks the beginning of August. Life is flying by, you guys! Holy cow. Even when time seems to move fast, I think it is important to slow down for a bit and just sit in awe of all of life's wonders. This world is full of so much beautiful scenery and wonderful places. One thing that I never seem to wrap my head around is my love for Michigan. Michigan is such a happy place for me. The simplicity of life and the happiness that Michiganders seem to carry in their hearts inspires me. I look forward to  returning every summer. It feels like my home away from home. Today I am super happy to share snippets of this year's adventure up north with y'all. 

Workout Dress? I think YES!

Yay, it's Sunday, my favorite day of the week.  I see Sundays as fresh starts. It is up to you to make the week ahead the best yet! As you may have noticed, I've been a little MIA from social media this week. I spent the past five days at a church camp. Experiences like this are rejuvenating. Life is so so good, friends! Maybe it's because I spent a lot of time in sporty gear at camp this week, but today I decided that it would be fun to share an alternative to your average athletic wear.

Typical Tourist turned Fashion Forward

Before I get into this post, I just wanted to share a thought with y'all! Friends, now that we are in the heart of summer, I think it is the perfect time to be reminded to make the most of it! It's easy to look ahead and become excited or even anxious for what is to come in the fall. Look at each day as a blank piece of paper just waiting to become a masterpiece! It's refreshing to find joy by living in the present. I know I need this reminder right now and I hope it is helpful to you all too! Anyway, today's topic here on Merging Threads concerns the abundance of tourist sweatshirts we all have stacked up in our closets. I would be lying to you if I said I didn't buy them. They are def a weakness of mine... how can you say no to an oversized bundle of comfiness? That's the thing, you can't. The great news is that wearing these oversized bundles of comfiness don't have to mean looking drab. Today I will be turning the typical tourist sweatshirt into a fashionable new look!
