Color is wonderful. If I could bathe myself in a rainbow, I would. And while I do enjoy tasting the said rainbow, I will settle for wrapping myself in this sweet little number from J.Crew seasons past that I always dreamed about. Then one day, in the obsessive searching way that I can get, I found it on E-bay. A few alterations later and dream come true. And if you are going to wear a pattern like this, you might as well add on a few more to melt some more eyeballs - hence the grey stripes and leopard print wedges. To adjust the proportions of the top, I used the skinny jeans and cardi to help add some shape.
Apologies for the eyeball assault...though you guys are probably used to having your eyeballs assaulted. It's the people around my little town that I really worry about!
PS - Today I have to have a root canal :( I'm playing the world's smallest violin, with the world's saddest tune for myself...

Oh no, a root canal is not a fun time. Hope it goes by quickly and doesn't hurt too much.
I am happy to report that it was a breeze! Root canal owned :) Thanks for
the well wishes!
thanks so much Christine!! I am in love with it, I can't lie :)
Thankfully it wasn't that bad! My nose is numb right now, but other than
that I am ok thus far!
And how exciting on the post!! Let me know when it goes live, so I can link
back to you!
I'll be sure to check it out - thanks!
that is good to hear! I just finished editing the pictures, but the wifi in my office isn't working so I can't get them from my laptop to flickr to post them... so it will probably go up tonight :)
Lovin' all the colors!
I hope you get better soon! I hate going to the dentist because it means I can't eat for a while..haha
These colors are awesommee!!!! Love it, love it, love it!!! That you paired it with that lime green cardi is genius! You look so summery already!
I love your lime cardi!

This outfit is eye candy not eye assault :) I love the mix of both colors and prints that make it look funky and cute. Good luck with your root canal <3 I've heard stories about getting that done :(
I love "throwback J.Crew"! I have found some things while thrifting and it just gives me great nostalgia. As much as I love where Jenna Lyons has taken the brand, I still love the old styles!
I love that shirt! It will be perfect when summer rolls around!

Seriously Elaine - the last time I got my teeth cleaned (my mom is a dental
hygienist) by my mom, I asked her if I could eat after I got them clean
because it was right at lunchtime :)
Thanks so much kerrie! I knew that of anyone, you would love the colors like
me :) Yay for color! :)
Thanks Monique and thank you for stopping by!
Thank you my friend! The root canal went fine - I had a numb nose and lip
for most of the rest of the day, but it was all ok in the end! Thank
goodness!!
Seriously Christina - I keep years old catalogs laying around because I love
how they used to style their clothes and the clothes that they used to have!
I mean, the book-print dress from '08? I do love Jenna Lyons and her
styling, but yeah, I miss the old J.Crew too :)
Thanks Katie! I know, I can't wait to wear it to BBQs - it will definitely
be helpful to hide a full tummy! :) :)
Thanks Monica, and thanks for stopping by!
Oh yes! That is always a brilliant choice :)
