Cool Spring Trends?

1 Comment

This week’s question over at BlogHer’s Life Well Lived series is all about 10 hot spring trends.

Ok, I don’t actually dress trendy but I do tend to know about them;). Part of the reason I don’t dress in the trends is because I am a big giant chicken. I am always self conscious;). But I am trying to be more open about trying new things in fashion!

So looking at the upcoming trends I think some with be a hit and some will be a miss for me. One of the hits for me are the statement sunglasses. I just got a couple of pairs last week so we will see how they are received;). I love the pastels and the whole lady like look. I think they are super cute. I love that whole pulled together lady like look.

I am totally on the fence about neon! I don’t think I can handle that much color. I do have bright jewel colored shirts and sweaters in blues, pinks and purples. That may be all I can handle;). I am also on the fence about the whole tangerine thing. I am really pinky and I am little afraid of that orange. I like peach and melon though!

Then there are some misses for me. I love the peplum idea. I mean I flip for a great pencil skirt and the whole retro look but being so plus size. I understand that it should hide a little bulge but I think I have passed the point of it being helpful;). I can also say the drop waist thing appears to be a fail. I got a cute purple dress that was a drop waist and it is now waiting to be returned. Party fail!

So how about you? What spring trends are you embracing or running from? Leave a comment here and then pop over to BlogHer and let them know too! And Make sure you enter the sweepstakes too!

In All Things Love

My heart is fluttering as I post this. Not because I don’t believe what I said but because this is me, uncensored. And I don’t know how these bold statements will be received by those closest to me but I believe it is true. I am always told at blogging conferences that I should be more of me on my blogs;).

We as Christians have a right to our beliefs but we are commanded to love. After I recorded this I went and cried to last week’s Glee. Love people…

Oh and the last considerate is actually supposed to be consistent;). I was a little flustered.

A Little Airport Food

Leave a comment

I really try not to eat in airports. I find them pricey and usually not that good. Add to that my wheat free diet and I have issues. But I had a fair amount of time in the Nashville airport and I spotted the Real Nashville. Little did I know that it would be the last time I would get a chance to eat until 12 hours later;). It was ok, not as good as I hoped but better than I expected;).
