how to wear bright colored pants

It’s 7:57 p.m. on Sunday night and I have been awake approximately 3 hours this entire day. And not in a row. That is what being sick is like. It’s a bummer. On the positive side, I had a lot of colorful, very detailed dreams. My dreams are usually so detailed that oftentimes I mix them up with real life. When I woke up from one particilar dream that I thought might have been real, I had to confer with Ugly Mug to make sure what was or was not happening outside my bedroom door all day.

In other news, I just got my copy of the Spring 2013 issue of Zooey Magazine, in which I had an article published! It is surreal to see my words and name (although, my last name was misspelled), in the pages of a magazine. I’m working on getting a digital copy to post here, but if you absolutely cannot wait (which, obviously) feel free to check it out on newstands now. Actress, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is on the cover.

And now something you’ve all been waiting for: A honest to goodness, real outfit post!

Bright colors! It must be Spring! This is the most color I think I have ever worn, like all together in my life. I like it. I am definitely going to consciously incorporate more color into my wardrobe. Maybe into life in general. We even painted an orange accent wall in our bedroom this weekend, and liked the color so much that we expanded that into two accent walls. Ugly Mug now wants to paint a third wall, nixing the accent wall idea, and possibly painting the fourth wall a beige or taupe. After all the painting and rearranging is done, I will be sharing a bedroom tour on the blog. Aaaand now I have to since I said it, so let’s hope it turns out like it looks in my head! The pressure is on.

Oh and these boots. I stalked these boots at Crossroads for months until they went on sale. They were in the new goods section and although I was in love, a $70 price tag brought me back down to earth. Good things come to those who wait; On an unsuspecting Sunday afternoon, I found these babies, in my size, in the half off section. Done and done, wham bam thank you ma’am.
