How I Passed My Calculus Class

Have you ever met someone who never really followed the rules?  Or maybe they just made up their own?

I know the challenge for Bloggers Do It Better was Coral + Mint. You might say that I have a very loose definition of "coral".  And an equally loose definition of "mint".
Technically speaking, there are so many different shades and tones of both colors, that simply staying in the orange, pink, green and blue spectrums count.....

Right?  The sun was setting and I wanted to play around with The Mr's photography skills and tah-dah!  I think I see  various shades of coral in this photograph........

And here is my pale-pink, blush coral necklace.  Wrinkles courtesy of the latest little-league baseball game.

Shirt: Old Navy

Necklace: H&M

Shorts: Old Navy

The 5 Foot Beach, revisited.

It's the return of the 5 foot beach.

Looking for casual clothing that's Triple P approved (haha!)?  I love this skirt.  If you look really closely, the back of the skirt has this cool seam detail, and the fabric is soft and cool. The skirt is a bit see through (like most white fabrics) so I wore a slip underneath.  This will be my new travel skirt for vacation destinations with a beach (I also wear it around the house - the next best thing to yoga pants, haha!)

It's Friday, I'm In Love.

It's Friday and I've got a few things on my mind:

1. Yes, The Cure is one of my all-time favorite bands (and my best friend can't believe I still have their music on my iPod.)

2. I'm an old sentimental fool.  Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has died of cancer.  I love the Beastie Boys.  I'm sad to think that the group won't be the same anymore.  Why did I think they would just be around forever?  There is no other band (even though Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Bon Jovi and Gene Simmons have certainly tried) that I could envision rocking out on stage at the age of 90, walkers in hand, and still be cool!

3. Did you know that Halls is having their Spring Sale?  It's been extended until Sunday, May 6th AND (a little birdie told me) Nanette Lepore, Tibi, Yoana Baraschi and Milly are 40% off (regular price merchandise only.)  Go, invest in classic and quality at 40% off.  I might even see you there!

4. My son has Strep Throat.  I feel helpless and horrible.  Meds will help my son feel better, but an Oscar de la Renta gown might make me feel better. Or that pair of Louboutins.

5. Mother's day is coming up and I'm dreaming of Tiffany blue (wink, wink.)

6. Wow.  The humidity has arrived, and that means my hair has grown at least three times in volume since March.

6. Here's an outfit to round out my thoughts (and how I wish it were a poufy taffeta Oscar de la Renta gown!)

Shirt: Jcrew

Necklace: H&M

Bracelets: Target

Belt: Target (similar here)

Pants: Forever21 (similar here)

Shoes: Daisy Fuentes

Handbag: Target

Take note of this handbag.  It's not my favorite, but I bought it for a very specific purpose.  Stay tuned for more!
