Mellow Yellow

You know those weeks when everything feels a bit askew? I had that kind of week this week and it's not even Friday yet. Today's pictures capture the craziness of the week pretty well.

I started with this photo. It's not terrible but I didn't like my hair or weird smile so after heading back inside so my photographer could eat his breakfast, I asked him to come back outside with me for a "better" picture...

This was the result. It was worse!  The hair is fine, but I ended up with a droopy belt.

Oh well. On the flip side, I am wearing my yellow pencil skirt which always brightens my day. I also went sans tights, probably too early in the year, which resulted in being chilly, but my legs are happy to be free.

Also, today's ABC Style Challenge is X for X2, or times two - basically showing two different ways to wear one article of clothing. You can check out how I styled one blazer for two different occasions - one for work and one for play - below. I have also linked up to the challenge at My Greatest Hits blog. Hope you have a chance to check it out and post your photos also!

    I love the pops of red with the blazer in the first picture, but it looks very classy with the metal jewelry too.

      Thanks Courtney! I like the pops of red too. I wasn't ever really a red person until these shoes, so I am so happy I have them. Keep up the great blogging! Have a great weekend.

    Oh how I wish I knew how to properly wear a blazer...you pull it off so well! Also I just ADORE that yellow pencil skirt! It will work quite nicely for tomorrow's "Y is for Yellow" challenge, too. ;)
