Day four of the Pantone color challenge and going strong! Today's color is "carafe" which was decided could be a shade of brown or olive or green. So I went for a combo platter and used kind of all three. And I have to say I'm kind of in love with this outfit. It feels very me even though it's using a bit of maternity stuff. And can I say how excited I was to find this plaid skirt at the swap that actually fits?? Elastic waistband for the win once again! This is the first bit of plaid I've been able to wear in a while now and I'm so happy, I've missed my favorite pattern! This skirt should work for me after baby too, I think it's going to be a new favorite!
In other news, today is the last day of our CSA share of goodies for the year. I'm so sad. I have had so much fun with all the different veggies we have received and I'm so proud of us - well mostly of Mr. Monkey - for trying out fun, interesting and unique new recipes using the items. We really ate well these last few months! I am looking forward to doing this again next year - and using the items to make baby food for our little guy too!

Back to the color challenge - the word carafe makes me think of coffee, as in a coffee carafe, so I guess in a way I dressed up as my favorite beverage today. Think that would pass for a Halloween costume? I kid. I think I need to drink a little more coffee, that's what I think!
