Has this ever happened to you?

Has this ever happened to you? Years back I was telling myself pink just isn't my color. It's a color that is just a bit too girly for me and not edgy enough. I would sometimes avoid the color, especially bright, hot, neon pink because it was too bright for my taste.

And remember this happened to me recently as I sat in my walk in closet like every morning, contemplating the outfit possibilities...I looked up and pink was scattered throughout. I had not realize it but as I was consciously trying to steer away from pink, pink was one of the colors i had unconsciously geared towards. 

Today is a dedication to the color pink, not only for breast cancer awareness but also for ladies who say they don't think a specific color suits them. I ask that you try an outrageous color and see how you feel that day. Does it lift you up mentally and emotionally because you are doing something out of the ordinary to you? 

Of course, I have been over the phase of no pink a while ago but it gives me some food for though. My next color...neon yellow.

Dress to, well, Impress!

Today is a "I'm dressed for a conference" type of a day. I wanted to pull out some dresses in hopes of picking up the Thursday mood! Just today and one more day to go. I tell myself "You can pull it together today, you can do it." Do you sometimes find yourself telling yourself that?

Here's something I found on lovely Pinterest that is sure motivation:

Oh also, I am on day 2 of eating vegetarian for a week and I give mad props to those who have dedicated their lives to being a vegetarian. It is sure not easy when you are a newbie trying to be creative in your meal options. Yesterday I had Asian ramen with vegetable sushi for lunch. Dinner was mushroom and spanish tortellini. 

Anyone know of any great vegetarian meal options? Please let me know!

Spruce up your Monday!

Rather than being a Debbie Downer because it's a Monday, I'm sprucing things up today with hot pink and cheetah. Woke up to a shocking 36 degrees so bear with me if you can feel me shivering in the pictures. After this quick photoshoot, I decided to throw on a pair of black leggings. Unfortunately I was on a dash so didn't get a chance to take the picture with leggings. boo.

What do you guys think? Would you wear this outfit with or without leggings?

Ugh! Tried a new way to take pictures and it didn't work!

Post Christmas Casual-ness...

It's one 'em days. After Christmas...where all you want to do is lounge around and think about all those sweet deals going on, almost like Black Friday. But there is work today...boo...

I felt really casual today so mustered up this outfit together. My entire outfit including jewelry (excluding watch (was a gift!)) and shoes cost me less than $100! Woot, woot!

Do you gals have a go-to casual outfit you go by? Casual is so comfy!

I'll try my best to remember where each item came from...

white collar top - H&M

khaki jacket - Old Navy

pink coral jeans & belt - Forever 21

gold bangles & bracelets - Forever 21

flats - Wet Seal

watch - Juicy Couture

Fri Fri Friday!

We're almost there. 5 more hours (in PST terms). Freedom is calling (only for two days though).

What shall we do? Is it me or is it extremely hard to even focus when it comes down to the last even 5 hours of work? 

Like me..blogging right now...shh!

It'll be 90 degrees here in LA. Can ya believe it? I can't either. I'll be attending a wonderful wedding of two awesome people (one of them being my HS buddy)!

Here's my outfit plan (imaginary and hoping):

Rawr w/ a dash of pink!

It's still a bit warm in Los Angeles so I decided to savor the warmth as long as possible with my animal print dress and pink accessories!
