If you’ve ever wondered what I look like with a tan, this is it. Nope, no need to adjust your screen or update your prescription. After a week on the beach, I go from intensely alabaster to just mostly pale. I mean, I’m positively glowing, don’t you think?

And as a nod to my lovely trip to the Outer Banks, I rocked these Carolina blue pumps back at work. 🙂

Mustard yellow and burgundy: two of my favorite colors this time of year. Oh, who am I kidding? Two of my favorite colors any damn time. Plus, stripes and polka dots might be my favorite mixed print combo. Basically, there are a lot of favorite things happening in this outfit. If I had more spare time, I would write my own version of the song “My Favorite Things.” I would be just like Julie Andrews, except with no musical talent whatsoever, and you’d be better off having a parrot take care of your children.
