OOTD-Making It A Bright Day




I was all set to take outfit pictures earlier today when I realized that I forgot my battery at home. Oops! I also planned to wear a new pair of shoes that I picked up from UPS first thing this morning, but wouldn't you know it, they wanted to squeeze my feet into an absolute state of numbness. Interesting considering I tried the exact same size on in the stores a few weeks ago and they fit just fine.

All's well that ends well, since I brightened my day with this sweater. Serious pops of color can be a surefire way to lessen the winter gloom. Unless you live on the west coast, in which case I'm sticking my tongue out at you and whining that you all should learn to share that sunshine and warm weather.

How do you stay cute in the winter when all you want is for spring to arrive?

Note: I want to thank you for your patience during my absence and say that I really appreciate the condolences and lovely comments I received. My aunt is truly missed by us all and although my heart is heavy, I smile thinking of the moments and memories we shared.

    Welcome back! And what a wonderful outfit to brighten up a gloomy winter day -- I really love you in bright cerise hues! I do the same thing that you do when I'm looking forward to spring -- wear lots of bright colors and hope Mother Nature gets the hint, haha...

    Bright and pretty sweater! I wear spring clothes, by pairing them with tights, scarves and cardigans. I've been in a bright color kick the winter, so spring couldn't come fast enough.
