Mustard Love

20121203-193419.jpg

20121203-193431.jpgYou might have noticed by now that I’m kind of a fan of mustard. Not only do I like to eat it on my vegetarian hotdogs, I also like to wear it. (And no, I don’t really know what vegetarian hot dogs are made of, but it can’t be anything weirder than what real hotdogs are made of.) I think I like it because it’s more flattering on my pale skin than bright lemon or neon yellow. Yellow is just an awesome color, plain and simple…So I encourage everyone to find your perfect shade. You won’t regret it. I get compliments pretty much every time I wear mustard. And I’m like, “I know. It’s the mustard.” Get your French’s or Grey Poupon fix below:
