Casual Saturday OOTD

Yep, I am completely relaxing today.  That’s right….  I have absolutely nothing to do.  And it feels GREAT.  Believe it or not, I didn’t even make my usual Target run today!  So, while I know the folks down there are likely very disappointed and probably ready to place my photo on the back of one of their milk cartons…  there’s no need to panic just yet….  I’m feeling ok…  I just decided to enjoy the day and get some much needed chill time in.  So, here’s to a casual Saturday.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!!

What I’m Wearing: Ann Taylor Loft Top (an interesting color infused leopard print), Ann Taylor shorts, J. Crew Necklace, Franco Sarto Sandals, Michael Kors Watch, Versona Accessories

My New Favorite (Summertime) Color – Yellow!

Okay, so one thing has become very apparent to me as a part of this whole blogging thing.  Taking photos, either of things or of yourself, is not an easy thing to do.  Now, I’m not sure why I thought that it was before or what specifically about blogging that helped me figure that out, but it’s the truth.  I’ve always thought I was pretty good at taking photos but wow… there is just something about knowing that you have to take a good photo.  The pressure.  So, I definitely have a much higher appreciation for photographers and for models.  You guys rock…

That said, I really wanted to share (photos of) my new favorite ensemble.  And yes, it includes yellow.  I don’t know….  there has been something weird going on lately.  I’ve mentioned before that I’ve never really been a big color person.  But oh my… have I lost my mind this year.  Who is this person?  Corals, blues and greens – bright pinks.  I just can’t stop with the colors.  I can’t help myself.  But there is one color in particular that just keeps calling my name.  YELLOW.  I actually think I am having a love affair with this color.  I am seriously just gravitating to the color – almost subconsciously.  And I love it!  I mean think about it.  Yellow is pretty cool.  It just exudes happy doesn’t it?  I promise if you put on yellow, you will immediately feel like summer time.  And you’ll probably want to see some beautiful Caribbean waters and have a nice cool drink — probably with an umbrella in it.

Anyway, this time — it’s yellow shorts.  I love these!  As soon as I saw them online (Ann Taylor Loft), I had to have them.  They are just so cute.  Now, I wanted to dress these up a bit, so of course I immediately thought about a short sleeve blazer!  So, I grabbed one from the closet and added a kinda glam rocker tee and there you go.  I like this look because it’s casual but still chic.  It’s perfect for a day or night out with the girls (which is exactly what I was planning to do!)
