La vie en couleur

I was feeling pretty bummed this morning, so I decided to cheer myself up with colour. The last time that I wore this cardigan and these pants together, I wasn't 100% happy with the look but I like this one with the softness of the grey stripes and the bright turquoise and red. :)

I really love this outfit with the bright shorts and the pattern mixing. The sad news is that this old favourite shirt of mine tore while sightseeing in Nimes yesterday. Sigh! I'm one item down already :(

I wore another 'normal' outfit today, with two of the pieces from my 30x30 challenge - my purple shirt and my light wash skinny jeans. Sorry the outfit photo is crooked, my brother is my photographer while he is here and he isn't taking this very seriously. :P

I took my brothers to the mall today, where I went to return two of the three skirts I bought in Paris. With part of the returns, I bought two pairs of flats that were on sale - buy one, get one half off. The first are a pretty pair of floral flats and the second are basic black flats with a twist - they're lace! I'm very happy with both :)

When I walked out of my room in this outfit this morning, my brother told me 'you look nice TODAY!'. When I asked him why, he said that all my outfits so far (my Paris ones) had been pretty outrageous! I guess lots of colour/pattern can seem too much to others. Oh well. This is my style and I love it :)

Today's outfit is pretty simple though - blouse, jeans and flats, perfect for a walk in the park.

What do you think? :)

I'm back from my trip and while I'm still tired, it was pretty fun! The highlight for me was our trip to Disneyland, it was AMAZING!

Coming to my outfits, while I didn't take a lot of clothes with me I enjoyed all the outfits I came up with, except maybe the last one that seemed a little 'juvenile' and ALGO.

Outfit 1 - I wore this to travel from Lyon to Paris. Very comfy and I like the denim jacket over dress formula.

Outfit 2 - My 'honeybee' look! This is the last time I will ever wear these pants, they got a huge hole in them! :(

Outfit 3 - I wore this one to the Louvre. It is a repeat of an old outfit with different shoes and a necklace instead of a scarf.

Outfit 4 - This is what I wore to Disneyland. I also added some Minnie Mouse ears, just for fun!

Outfit 5 - My husband and I went shopping, so I decided to repeat the dress since it is so easy to take off in trial rooms. I loved this outfit.

Outfit 6 - This one shows my poor packing skills. Hubs left one night early and I accidentally sent off all my clothes with him. So all I was left with was a graphic t, my turquoise cardigan, red pants and red shoes! Oh well! We live and learn right?! This was my travel back outfit so I didn't wear it for too long.

What do you think? :)

There are some outfits that you could wear everyday for the rest of your life. For me, this outfit is one of them - shirt, blazer, jeans and oxfords plus my trusty satchel. What makes it special for me is the crisp lime of the shirt and the bright pink of my shoes and lips. For me, on the happiness scale, it was truly an 11 on 10!

I have worn this combo before - with a denim shirt (pic #3) and with red pants and a black t shirt instead of a shirt and jeans (pic #4).

What do you think? And what are your 'go to' outfits, the kind that you could wear everyday and still feel fabulous? :)

We went furniture shopping this morning so my outfit had to be casual and non fussy. So I went with the basics - t shirt, jeans, denim jacket and comfy shoes. What made it a 10 for me is the pattern on the t shirt, the vibrant red of the denim jacket and my favourite pair of shoes. :)

P.S. We bought a dining table!

Today was the last part of my diploma exam which was a ten minute monologue followed by a question and answer session. It isn't necessarily a formal affair so I put on jeans and a t shirt, but at the last minute I decided to smarten it up a bit by putting on the same blazer as yesterday.

I'm glad I did, because it made me feel more confident. And the exam went well! Thank you to all those who wished me. :)

I finally wore my new (thrifted) blazer for the first time today. I decided to pair it with black and red, since both of them look great with cream/off white. What do you think? :)

Sorry to post and run, but I have the last of my diploma exams tomorrow. Wish me luck?

I went for a walk with mom today and decided to wear the new cardigan that she bought me. :) It is her last day in France today (my dad left yesterday) and I'm feeling sad already. But I really am grateful they came here and spent time with me.

P.S. Happy Mother's Day to all you fab YLF moms :)
