I've been obsessed with color all of a sudden. I don't know why. I suppose it is spring getting under my skin. I can't get enough of orange and peach tones specifically. There's only one problem with my recent color obsession - my closet is full of a lot of neutrals. I didn't really realize it until recently. It's mostly in the "tops" department. I just don't want to get bored this summer, so I think I'll be looking for some colorful additions to perk things up a bit in my closet. I did manage to pull something pretty darn colorful and cheery today however!
Today is a day I would totally play hooky if I could. It's not quite as warm as yesterday, but that's ok with me. I'm not a hot weather loving kind of girl. It's nice and sunny and comfortable and I'd love to be at home on my deck with my laptop and a book. Speaking of, I was asked how I'm liking my new laptop. I am not liking my new laptop - I am LOVING it. I don't know how I lived without it, for real. I'm feeling the pinch from buying it just a little, but it was so worth it.
The Pants Monkey and I have our first golf lesson this weekend. We do both know how to play, but signed up for some intermediate lessons to try and improve a bit. So as long as it's not raining tomorrow, we'll have a one hour lesson. I'm looking forward to it. I am not looking to win the LPGA or anything but I would like to feel a bit more confident in my game when I'm out on the course! No other major plans for the weekend which is nice. I am hoping to make it to the Mighty Swell Vintage sale going on this weekend and maybe a little thrift shopping too. We will see how things are going.
This next picture I look pissed in. I assure you I was not, I got distracted by something and then turned back right when the flash went and it caught me off guard.
But it is a good picture otherwise! I promise this isn't ANOTHER new bag. I have had this bag for several years now and thought it would be cute with my outfit. I'm getting into the dangerous habit I get into in the summer of wanting to match my bag to my outfit. I am going to try NOT to do that this year, but today, I couldn't help myself. I need to let the thrift store bag I shared earlier this week air out, it still doesn't smell that great. I did get some good suggestions though, so hopefully I'll freshen it up a bit!
Oh before I forget, I was asked how yesterday went with the shoes I wore all day. My feet were a little sore by day's end, but it wasn't horrible. And with that, I bid you adieu. Have a fantastic weekend!

Aww I am loving this look, it is very sweet :) I am getting more into orange lately, I am not really sure what is up with that since I have always loved cooler colors :P
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the lappy is working out!
I'm starting to get into brighter colors myself. I think that's a good thing :) You look wonderful in these colors and I really like your bag! Have a great weekend!

I love your purse today!! Super cute outfit too :)
ReplyDeleteThe orange and yellow looks wonderful together! I also realized I had a lot of boring neutrals and I've been trying to change that. Have a great weekend!

Hurrah for orange! Several people were wearing it at school today (I was not- I was boring wearing mostly black!) and it is quintessential summer!
ReplyDeleteYour cardie looks really soft- is it?
It's actually not that soft if you can believe it! It's not uncomfortable, but it's not super soft.
DeleteI really like those two colours together, Beth!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your golf lesson. :)
Hooray! I love orange and yellow. They just scream sunny spring/summer days. Also omg, that bag. I am not a bag person (most due to space), but you really make me look closer at bags and want to buy mooore!
ReplyDeleteI was excited that color blocking seems to be so popular this year because I knew that meant this bag would be on trend. I don't have a ton of storage either and have pretty much limited myself to a drawer - if it doesn't fit in the drawer, it goes to my mom or it gets donated!
DeleteI adore orange and it goes great with the yellow cardi! I love swapping my bags too in summer:) Have a lovely weekend!

Well good luck on your golf lesson ms.sporty! :) LOVE orange and yellow on you and that bag is so funky! I think all employers should give out personal days so we didn't have to play hooky!
ReplyDeleteVery nice color-combo. And I'm with ya on orange -- I wore orange lipstick for the first time today and liked it. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuch great cheerful colors! Love the purse with the outfit.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot NOT smile in photos or I look like I'm really mad. haha I've tried numerous times, but those photos get sent to the trash can right away. I look pitiful. ha Some people have such an amazing photographic range... so full of different expression and emote so wonderfully without smiling all the time(Dawn-Suitcase Vignettes for example)... I just haven't tapped into that yet. I love the abandon and joyfulness you are able to convey in your photos.
I can't get enough color right now either! I love these pretty colors on you too. I want to play hooky tomorrow, but I probably will end up going to work. :(
