I miss yellow lines in my roads, some color on monochrome

My black and white challenge is nearing its end, and I am happy. It's not easy dressing without color!

Day Five
Black Satin - Black and white day 5

Fine, I'll admit it, I think these shorts are cute.
(Okay, still alive, the heavens didn't strike me down.) I still don't think I will start wearing them all the time, or favoring them over skirts and dresses, but I will no longer give them dirty looks when I see them sitting on store shelves.

The sandals are my sister's new pair, which I essentially told her I was borrowing via text message. She's had my filigree earrings for three days, so I think it balances out. It's not that I don't have a lot of sandals, just that I don't have a lot of black sandals, and absolutely no white sandals, and I can't help it that we just so happen to be the same shoe size!

This is my payless ring that I got stuck on my finger. It did come off when it was cut free from the plastic packaging.

White pants make me feel preppy. Throw a white J. Crew cardigan around my waist or neck and send me off to the country club. Okay, maybe I'd need a polo shirt, but still, I have trouble shaking that vibe from white pants.

Day Six
White pants make me feel preppy - Black and white day 6

I wanted to wear my cherry pumps today so badly. They would have been perfect, and would have helped distract from any underlying preppyness. Next time. Definitely.

Cherry Pumps

Today I got my annual pedicure, which was wonderful as always. I kind of wish I would get them more, but I just never make it happen.

I also got a balloon, just for the sake of getting a balloon. To take some photos. Balloons are just fun to have around. And I couldn't help it, I needed some color:

If only I could float to the clouds

Depends which foot, but usually I can get them both into an 8.

In a windowless office

3.Favorite piece of clothing you own
Could a mother love one child more than another?

Again with this singling out business.

5.Do you have any pets?
The Wonderful Chloe of course!

6.How many siblings do you have?
Two.

I don't think I could live without chocolate or cheese.

10.Do you have a middle name?
Yes, Andrea.

  6. Lovely outfits, love them both! The ring and the striped top look great together (I'm very much into stripes this past few months:)), also special compliments on the shorts and the white pants, they're very cute as such and look great on you!

  7. I love that ring!! There are definitely worse things to have stuck to you. :)

  8. hehe I can imagine you with the ring stuck and that about borrowing your sister's new sandals! HA! was never so lucky, both my mom and sis have smaller feet so I could never fit into their shoes or clothes. You did a great job on the shorts! I didn't know you could sew. Now about the question most things I thrifted yesterday were under $4.00, I usually pay up to $2.99 for vintage slips at most,at estate sales they are usually 50 cents.

  9. Ah yes I'm a little ready for you to bring back the color too :) Borrowing my sister's shoes is one of the things I miss most about being roommates with her... sigh. At least she just lives down the street now!

  18. This was such a fun challenge. Unfortunately, I have so much black in my wardrobe that this could be way, way too easy! You definitely did well with having that ring stuck to you!
