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

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!

Linking up today with The Pleated Poppy, Transatlantic Blonde, Dear Abby Leigh Wardrobe Wednesday and Rolled Up Pretty. Pretty much, I'm all over the place today. =) Drop by their pretty little blogs to see how other ladies all across the world (Yep, you heard me!) are getting dressed up these days.

Beach Style

I remember now why we only take the kids to the beach maybe once a month even though it only takes about 30 minutes to get there. We spent the morning at the beach and had so much fun! The afternoon alternated between bouts of extreme whininess and meltdown central. For both kids. I don't know why they like to award me with meltdowns for giving them a really fun time. You would think they'd be super nice so that they get to do something fun like that again soon. At least, that's what tried explaining to them!


Here I am looking down at a glob of seaweed and wondering why in the world I chose this spot for a picture...

Dress: Gift from my sis

Belt: Thrifted

Scarf & Bracelets: Target

Sandals: Borrowed from my sis

Several people suggested that I try a scarf in my hair for beach days. Well, let me say, I thought it looked really cute. However, it just wasn't very practical in this Florida humidity! My head and neck were a hot, sweaty mess. I don't know if I was using the wrong sort of scarf or if maybe I was styling it wrong somehow... but it was hot! I think, next time, I might try a headband or a floppy hat or something.
