Toughly Ruffled

It's Trendy Tots Tuesday, today, and I usually post my outfit in the same post as Little S.', but the story behind TTT needed a post of its own and Little S. OWNED it. Crazy hair and all.

If you have a little one you'd like to share with us, be sure to head over to today's Trendy Tots Tuesday post and link up!

People, can you explain the weather? I know it's been a sore subject all over the blogosphere, lately. Freezing rain, lots of snow, negative temperatures, and then there's the whole everyone being sick and tired of hearing about the weather. Well, friends, it was 77 degrees here, yesterday, and when I left my house this morning, it was in the 30s. I know many of you are experiencing temperatures below 10 or even sub zero, but I was unprepared for this drastic change, today. I came to work without a coat, and I was much less than ecstatic while Husband was taking my outfit shots. Only two of them came out halfway the way I would have liked, but that's my fault. I was TOO COLD to smile.

FTR: the sausage effect  is due to the top of the skirt being oddly fitted and flaring out a lot at my natural waist. 

MY TIGHTS do not give me half -casing effect.

 

fucshia sweater: New York and Company

purple tank: Catalog Connection

olive ruffle skirt: Old Navy clearance (gift from Rochelle)

rubine tights: c/o We Love Colors

brown studded oxfords: Ross (gift from Rochelle)

I tried to smile for you guys. I really did. I just couldn't muster it up. So I just looked down, instead. 

How is it that on my way to work, Husband can find an old storefront with essentially the same colors as my outfit? I swear... And he didn't even pay attention to what I was wearing. He just said, "Let's take your picture in that little cove." And I said, "The one that looks like my outfit?" And he goes, "Oh, yeah. Cool." No big deal. He's just a genius. That's all.

 

If you read my post, yesterday, you'd know I'm embarking on yet ANOTHER weight loss journey. But this time, it's the real deal. I'll be posting stats, recipes and meal plans on our Fab Fashion Blogger Rockin' Weight Loss yahoo group! If you'd like to join, we'd LOVE to have you! Collette has shared her before and after photos and her success story. She'll be leading us through each of our own journeys to find our healthiest selves. 

GIANT, EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT, Blogging, & Hair

WE INTERRUPT TODAY'S REGULARLY SCHEDULED POST FOR AN EXTREMELY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT:

Two in Technicolor

is making its first debut at We Love Colors!

Check out our first featured blogger, Kimmie, of Blue Paper Lanterns! 

A BIG thank you goes out to Collette, of Statements in Fashion, and We Love Colors for making this feature happen! I'm so excited to be working with both of you!

And now, the regularly scheduled programming shall commence.

Friends, I didn't even notice that yesterday was my 400th post! Whoa! These little fingers have been hitting the keyboard, hard! I was going to do a giveaway at 400 posts, but seeing as I'm only 12 GFC readers from 300, I think I'll wait 'til that point and celebrate both! How does that sound to you?

OMG- I almost forgot to tell you!!! My BFF of 13 years (the time frame is important because no one else would understand how insanely amazing this is, except someone who knew me "back when") asked me to be her date to the BSB & NKOTB concert in June! Holy mother of pearl and OH MY PICKLE!!!!
I cannot wait to scream like a 12-year-old.

Everybody Everywear: Breton Stripes Day & Twitter Tuesday!

The awesome bloggers over at Everybody, Everywhere feature specific styles, and today, "everybody, everywhere" will be loading their Breton Stripes looks to the site!

 It's a gloomy, grey, rainy day in Eastern NC, so I dressed appropriately!

Or, I'm just mocking the rain. This is me, sticking my tongue out at the ugly weather. Mneh.

If you say, "Mneh," out loud, that's what it sounds like when I stick my tongue out and make a mocking sound. "Mneh. Mneh. Mneh."

striped dress: WalMart

grey hoodie: Old Navy

tights: Old Navy

boots: Payless

And last, but probably most importantly, today, I have been featured on Statements in Fashion Twitter Tuesday, by Collette Osuna! Please check out my interview! I'd love to hear what you have to say! And if you don't already follow Statements in Fashion, you're totally missing out!
