It's PINK

PINK DRESS

I'm writing this post as a reminder. Not just a personal reminder but I'm asking for accountability from my online community.
In several months I will be a bridesmaid in my good friend Kimberly wedding in Maui. I'm very pumped about being a part of her wedding, going to Hawaii and celebrating, but I'm afraid. I'm being really girly and shallow, but I have to wear a light PINK DRESS on the beach in just a short time. Now, I have auburn hair and currently my tan is fading, and I have made a pact with my self to loose a few lbs before heading to this event.
Now, I'm very thankful that my friend was thoughtful enough to let each maid select the top portion of the 2 piece dress that we will be wearing. I was so afraid that I would be asked to wear a strapless bodice of some kind and have to wrangle myself in so that there's not a wedding "incident" to speak of when the bridesmaid procession occurs. But alas I can select my support system and I happy to report there are many lovely choices. And on the weight note, I've lost about 10 lbs, give or take a few and I can actually start to envision a more comfortable me on the beaches of Maui.

So I thought that from now on I would ask for some subtle reminders and humorous support from the bloggers out there. If you can, just throw me a sweet shout out into the comments from now on. Just leave the words PINK DRESS, in the comments field and that will be my cheering section to stay focused and I will feel the love.

Thanks and think PINK - I know I will.

New Outfit = Happy Girl

My sister and I ran to the mall this morning, and we saw lots of great things. I never go to the mall on the weekends b/c it's so crazy crowed. But we made an exception because my sister felt the need for a quick trip to pick up a new fall "do".

We found her a sassy black skirt with flat pleats at the edge, a Kelly green sweater and strappy black heals. I , who was not going to get anything (like I ever walk out of the mall with out an new item) saw a snappy skirt and shirt that rocks. I'll show a picture for those who need visuals:

Lots of great styles this season + I think I've mentioned how much I Y fall, including clothes.
