Avi says... (& a Winner!)

I yike motuh-cycles, mama. I want a motuh-cycle at my buthday powty.  She's also said that she wants a pink and purple boat and a yellow butterfly. Yeah, so I'm not sure exactly what kind of party we're having, but it should be pretty crazy.

Dress: Monroe and Main

Shirt & Necklace: Target

Shoes: TJMaxx

Bracelet: Target

Me: Avi, you're my sweet girl, aren't you?
Avi:  No! I not a baby. I a pincess.

Whenever we're both wearing tennis shoes, or skirts or dresses, or flats, she lets a big huge gasp and says, "You! Me! Shoes! (or skirt or dress!) We match, mama!"

Okay, and now it's time to oh so very briefly talk about clothes.  Whenever I'm wearing neutral colors, I just don't feel right unless I add a pop of color. Often I'll add a pop of several colors, but this time I went with one color popping on my toes, and on my wrist and around my neck.

What is your poppin' color? For me, it doesn't absolutely have to be orange. You know me, I'd be happy with any color as long as it pops.

And finally... the winner of the Road ID giveaway is Jessica! I'll be emailing you shortly!

Orange Crush

Someone told me recently that I pair colors in unexpected ways. Is that a kind way of telling me that I don't match? ;)

Denim Jacket - Thrifted

Dress - mark. (Jackie's Eboutique)

Tights - Target

Wedges - Kohls (Don't forget to use the code TENFORBLOG for 10% off your purchase until March 9th!)

Scarf - Charming Charlie's (Gift)

If you look closely at these photos, you'll clearly see that there are pops of bright orange in this mostly pink scarf.

Jewelry: Various stores around town and the internet =)

Whether I match or not, I have fun wearing bright colors and pairing colors that people might not usually wear. It helps me to feel like I'm spreading a bit of sunshine everywhere I go. =)

Monday was a very rainy, dreary day and these bright orange, highlighter hued tights helped to cheer me up every time I happened to look down.

I hope you're all having a beautiful week! I appreciate each and every one of you that reads my little ole' blog and I'm trying to make time to get by your little piece of the blogosphere soon!

I have a question for you... are any of you as dependent upon technology as I am?  I'm currently sitting at my desk, blogging on my laptop; I have facebook open on my desktop; the book I'm reading for school is open on my Ipad and sitting next to me so that I can jump into that as soon as I'm finished with this; and I keep checking my phone to see if I have any Instagram or twitter updates . . .

Rather than say that I have a problem, I'll just say that I sure am grateful for technology and the way it makes life a little bit easier!

I can tell you... I have plans to shut off all of these devices I'm using right now and enjoy the weekend with my family. My fingers are crossed that we have some nice weather so that we can have a little quality time with the sun, sand and waves of the Gulf of Mexico! =)

What are your plans for the weekend?

I'm linking up today with All Things Chic for Fashion Friday!
