Are mosquitos color-blind?

Because they sure seemed attracted to my dress. And my arms. And my face.

I love these colors together. Is it coral? Peach? Melon? Let's go with melon. I love the colors of melon and turquoise together. And I love this dress because it goes with everything. You can throw a blazer, a jean jacket, or a scarf over it and it looks perfect. I got it at GAP on clearance for $12 about four years ago. I'm pretty sure I'll hand it down to my daughter. She will love it. Well, first she will hate it because it's "so 2000", and then the style will come back around and she will thank me.

Why didn't my mom save all her cool clothes? Oh yeah, becasue I made fun of them back in the '80s. Who knew that rompers and Farrah Fawcet hair would come back, seriously?

I asked my husband if he could make my legs look darker, and he said, "Oh yeah, I'll just put the camera on the 'tan' setting." So funny. But he lied.

10 Things You Should Know About Me

10. I can't wait for summer.

Lame, I know, but it's been a long day. The weather is finally getting warm, but I could do without the tenacious wind that we've had for about a month straight. (Insert quote here from that sock commercial where the little kid says, "Yeah, we're sick of it!" I love that.)

I can't wait for summer days, long nights, and plenty of outdoor adventures. There are only about five weeks of school left, and I'm counting down the days!

Shirt: Calvin Klein Jeans, Jeggings: New York & Company (consigned), Earings: my mom's, Necklaces: made by me (turquoise), my grandma's, Ring: Navaho reservation in New Mexico, Shoes: Miz Mooz

I love this shirt, even though the wind was making it look like a little tutu. And I also gave in and bought (at a consignment store) a pair of jeggings. They were, I must admit, very comfy. Not appropriate for school though...so now you know that I played hookey today. Don't tell.

10 Things You Should Know About Me

9. I am originally from California.

Though I've lived in Colorado for over six years now, I still miss the Central Coast of California now and then. I miss the Oak Trees and the emerald-green hills. I don't miss the ocean much, as I have traded it for the rolling Arkansas River...where there is nothing that will eat you if you fall in. (Total shark phobia.)

Mostly, I miss my family. I keep in contact with my parents and siblings as best I can, which is why, every so often, my sister (Katie) will be posting on this blog as well. She is 2X more fabulous than I am, and she lives in the LA area, where they don't think a "wedge" is a construction tool.

Hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

I totally stole this look from Ashley at Nashville Styled. I hope she doesn't mind, because I didn't ask. Isn't that what style blogging is all about? Idea theft? I hope so.
