Another day of BBCA sponsored by Melissa. Y'all I've finally done it: I'm wearing a pink shirt. I toned it down with a whole lot of black to be weather appropriate, but that's a pink shirt!


It's our second straight day of rain in Philly, and it looks like we're in for more of the same tomorrow. Last Thursday it was, like, 80 degrees and today we've got highs in the 50s. I was so not prepared for this. I did manage to pull out some of my sweaters on Sunday and I rediscovered this jacket. I love the nubby texture of it and the crazy sleeves. I couldn't find the belt that I most like to wear with this, but I did find a decent replacement belt. Of course, I only settled on the replacement after searching for ten minutes. I hate that.


So I called my parents about getting together to see El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico live here in Philly. My mom was so excited and asked about the date. I told her and do y'all know what she told me?! That she was supposed to go see VeggieTales that day. VeggieTales. I was turned down for a talking cucumber. I'm still a little broken up about it.


This picture makes me feel a little better, though. What I love about this picture is that I'm all serious, aloof style blogger in the foreground and Kiku is looking all crazy in the background with her favorite toy EVER: her blanket. It's hard not to laugh at that.
Oh, and y'all? I did my nails. I. Did. My. Nails. B was totally impressed.


It's this shade here.

  1. Blogging for breast cancer aWEARness! that is such a brilliant idea!! I'd love to participate too, or am I too late??

    I like how you paired the pink top with grey shoes, that's always a great combination and Kiku is absolutely darling. I know it's not easy taking pics with pets around, especially if you use a self timer- my cats either attack the camera or just sit right in front of it to steal the focus!

    Thanks to all for the encouragement with the pink! It's quite a challenge for me, but it's for a good cause!

  9. You look AWESOME!!! Love the pink top and the silhouette of the slim pants is fantastic on you.

    Ah, VeggieTales. Yes. We're big Bob and Larry fans. Especially LarryBoy. Hysterical.
