neon yellow

I spotted this neon yellow sweater at work last week and it caught my attention 

*everything at work catches my attention, though*

The color definitely scared me since I haven't seen the sun in a while.  Bright colors and a white skin tone . . .  scary.  But I took the plunge and bought it.  Surprising it doesn't look too totally horrible with my white pale skin.  

Regardless of the neon yellow, the sweater is comfortable and my boyfriend jeans were excited to come out of my closet (it was 60 degrees out last week!)

an after work outfit

 

Last night, was date night with Cody.  We went to our favorite restaurant, Waddell's, to eat & drink.  Our date nights aren't really nights, we are more of late afternoon dinner eaters.  After working for 8 hours in red & khaki, I have like 15 minutes to get ready.  

With that being said, I try to cut some time by, wearing my blouse that I wore to work.  Yesterday, it was this shirt.   I am that girl who wears red cardigans & cute blouses.  This is how I deal with wearing red & khaki every day.  I came home and threw on this peach colored shirt over my tee shirt.  Since I don't live in Florida, I have no tan, I was pretty nervous to wear this top with my pale skin & blonde hair.  But I did it anyway, and guess what, no one gave me any weird stares. 

Plus, these two colors shouldn't look good together but they do and I like it.

magic kingdom fun

When I was planning out my trip home, my mamma mentioned a trip to Magic Kingdom for the day,  & I was all in for the adventure!    Magic Kingdom has to be the happiest place in the world.  While walking into the park, my mamma, started jumping around & yelling with excitement.. I mean can you tell where I get this love of Magic Kingdom from..??

I will say fall in Florida, only happens like 1 day out of the month of September, I have pictures to prove this.  And the day we went down to visit Magic Kingdom, it was HOT & HUMID.  With that being said, my hair ended up in a top bun.

 However, the plus side is, Magic Kingdom has the prettiest fall decorations.

I am going to leave you with this awesome quote from the man himself.. Walt Disney.

"All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them."

annual best friend trip

Once a year me & my three best friends make a trip down to St. Augustine to shop, eat, & chat about anything and everything.  When I say my best friends, I mean my best friends, we have been friends since we were in diapers.  As a group, we can be super supportive and then turn around to be brutally honest, I think this is the best kind of friendship.

We have done this trip for about three years now, and every year is usually the same but we enjoy this beautiful little town & our friendship that continues to grow.  I love these girls so much & I can't wait until next year.  

I made them snap a quick outfit picture of me!

a fall day in florida

Being home with my family for the past ten days has been amazing & exhausting all at the same time.

When I walked out of the airport, I was hit with the Florida humidity (something that I was getting use to not having around in Washington).  It took a while trying to get use to the hottness, you would think that since I have lived in this weather for 24 years it wouldn't bother me.. Well it does ..

The last day of my vacation home, I woke up to 70 degree weather and hardly any humidity.  I felt like I was back in Washington.  So in honor of it being a fall like day, I decided to dress like one.
