Wear it Wednesday - Mustard & Green Beans

Conversation I had with the Hubs on Saturday on our way to a birthday party:

Me: Do you like my outfit?

Him: Ha, well, I don't know. See, I was always taught to match.

Me: Oh, you mean like green and yellow don't match?

Him: No, like your tights and your shirt are two different shades of yellow.

Umm... ok.

 Khaki Jacket: Thrifted ($6)

Shirt: Gap (Borrowed from Sis)

Skirt: Ann Taylor Loft, Thrifted ($3.50)

Tights: Target ($5, or $15, since this is my 3rd pair)

Boots: Shoedazzle (Gift)

Ring: Glow Salon ($5)

Other Jewelry: Borrowed from Sis

Later that day:

Me: Can you believe that the first time I wore my mustard tights, I snagged a hole in them?? So, I bought another pair and would you believe I snagged them again??

Him: Maybe it's a sign...

Me: That the universe is working against my coolness?

Him: No, that mustard should be used for your hotdogs and not your legs.

Umm... ok.

And if you're wondering, yes, this is my third pair of mustard tights from Target. And yes, they did snag again today! I guess it's time for me to try a different brand!

What do you think?  Does mustard work on legs with a skirt the color of green beans and a shirt the color of sunshine? =)

Tasty Tuesday - Marshmallow Hay Bales & Some New Tights

New Tights

Check it out!! I'm wearing my new mustard colored tights! I absolutely 100% adore them. And I'd wear them over and over again all winter long . . . if I didn't snag them on my desk and get a giant hole in them already. Yeah, so in the trash they've gone.  Since I'm a tights novice (hello, 3rd grade vocabulary word!), I have a question for those of you with some tights wearing experience. What should I do? Keep buying cheap $5 tights from Target and cross my fingers and pray that I don't ruin them? Or invest in some expensive ones and reallly cross my fingers and pray that I don't ruin them? 

Dress: Target ($7-ish)

Cardigan: Missoni for Target ($40, I think)

Tights: Target ($5)

Boots: Shoedazzle (Birthday gift)

Necklace: Borrowed from my Sis

You can't really tell in the photos, but there's a thin yellow stripe in the sweater.  I didn't just pull the color mustard out of thin air and say, "Hey, I think I'll totally not match today and wear mustard tights!" =)

Marshmallow Hay Bales

Yesterday, the kids had a Harvest Party at their daycare and we all had to bring treats for the kids to bring home. Well, as if I'm not busy enough with everything going on, I decided to make these adorable candy corn marshmallow pops.  Being the procrastinator that I am, I didn't start shopping for the supplies until Saturday afternoon. Can you imagine the trouble I ran into? Yep, you guessed it, Wal-Mart was all out of the little orange meltable candies and lollipop sticks.  I went to every other store in my immediate area, Publix, Food World, Target, Winn Dixie.  They didn't carry the candies or the lollipop sticks.  

Sunday afternoon, I was dreading the 30-ish minute drive to Party City, when the Hubs came to the rescue with a simply brilliant idea.  He suggested that I roll the marshmallows in the yellow candy and then roll them in the rice krispies! Oh, yes, I married that man for a reason. =) But I still needed something to stick into the marshmallows. He then suggested toothpicks. Wellll, I really don't think the parents would appreciate it if I gave their children a treat that could take out an eye, so I nixed that idea. I found a package of multi-colored straws in one of the kitchen drawers and decided to cut the straws in half.  Here's the result of my procrastination and my husband's brilliance. =)

Items Needed:

Marshmallows

Yellow Meltable Candy

Rice Krispies

Straws or Lollipop Sticks

Treat Bags

Ribbon

Last, but not least, we are officially in the season of Thanksgiving!! On that note, I want to say how thankful I am for my Little Guy. He can try my patience to no end and when I lose my cool, I feel like the worst mom ever. But then my sweet guy will come up to me the next day and give me a huge hug and say, "I'm sorry I disobeyed, mama."  *sigh* I love my Little Guy and I'm so thankful for him!
