Brighten up…

…with a bit of yellow! I’ve always heard that listening to certain songs, smelling certain aromas, and seeing particular colors can help lift you up and brighten your mood. In case you’re stuck in the midst of the Thursday doldrums (and let’s assume with limited access to your favorite song, or a delicious smell — whatever leftovers your co-workers will microwave notwithstanding), here’s hoping this dash of yellow will cheer you up. It’s almost Friday, after all!

    Lemon Bars are my favorite! Now I’m craving them! I really want to add more yellow to my wardrobe starting with that sweater. Yellow was my 2nd grade teachers favorite color. Why do I remember that!?

    I’m obsessed with the yellow pants/blue bedazzled top combo!

  13. 1.26.12

    I just wore a yellow crew neck sweater yesterday! I styled it with a white collared shirt underneath, a leopard print scarf, dark skinny jeans and red patent leather pumps. I was worried the yellow/red combo would be a lil McDonalds-esque but I got tons of compliments! Oh! I wore my glasses yesterday as well! My bf told me I looked preppy sexy, ha! Whatever works!
