How was your evening? I went over to my parents' house because my brother and sister-in-law were there with their 5-month-old baby boy - it was the first time I've met him! He is SO stinkin' cute and it was a lot of fun watching my daughter play with him. A little nerve-wracking because she still doesn't quite grasp the concept of personal space and babies being smaller and more fragile than her, but it was still fun.
Tonight I'm going back over there for dinner and hopefully my brother and sister-in-law will be back from the day's activities by then. If not, at least the baby will still be there with my parents. :)
I feel like I have more pink tops than I thought I did, which is good for this challenge, but it makes me think that most of my outfits have looked too much alike (dark on the bottom, pink on top) and I've been rather boring. Sorry about that! I'm going to try to hit Salvation Army this weekend and see if I can find some good stuff.
I'm sure some people who see me in real life think I'm insane for wearing a long-sleeved cardigan and knee-high boots when the high is 80-something. However...when I left the house it was 59 and when I came into the office, our thermometer said it was 68. That's COLD to this Florida girl!

Clearly, our definitions of "don't own a lot of pink" are different :) However, I am wearing one of my few pink things today. Happy BBCA!

I LOVE your boots! Happy hunting, hope you find some more pink. Congrats on making it a whole week already!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is super cute! Hah, I know what you mean, I've definitely noticed a trend in my outfits to dark neutrals + pink on top too. That's crazy about your office being so cold! I hope the rest of your day goes well! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are one sassy momma! I love this look. And you look amazing in pink. :) And boots. And all the time.
ReplyDeleteI adore that pink cardigan! I love the print, and it's fantastic with the black dress and boots.
ReplyDeleteLove the look! I bet your little nephew is adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I love that cardigan! You have far more pink than I do. I wish I had a little nephew I could visit.
ReplyDeleteHey we're both wearing leopard print! I'd say you are way braver than me though :)
ReplyDeleteI've glanced through your BBCA posts, and you are HARDLY boring - you have much more variety of pink in your wardrobe than I do, and play up your layering in a very creative way. It's also great that you don't just stick to pink tops, but mix it in all different facets of your wardrobe. I love the pretty black dress!
ReplyDeleteHot mama -- look at those fabulous boots. And the pink leopard! You have an impressive collection of animal prints!
ReplyDeleteAnd how wonderful that you were able to meet your new nephew. Babies are adorable!
