cotton candy.

Coral Top: The Loft.  Pants, Cardigan: Old Navy.  Shoes: Payless.  Necklace, Earrings: Ross.  Ring: Bought in Mexico.  Watch: Target.
We all know how much I love the color coral, and honesty a great minty blue is a close second.  Yesterday, as I was standing over my suitcase trying to think of something to wear (have I mentioned before how much I loathe dressing from a suitcase?) I thought, hm, I love coral, I love mint, why not wear them together?  So I did.  Coral and Mint.  Two of my favorite things.  Granted, I felt a bit edible all day, like swirled cotton candy, but sometimes it’s good to be a little edible.  

Did you know that when you have movers come to your house and pack you up to move you it takes like 3 weeks to get your stuff?  True story.  Trust me, I know this.  This is the 3rd time we’ve had movers come and move our stuff across a couple states.  We’re chronic nomads.  Anyways, this means me, Mr. Husband and the 3 littles are kicking it in a hotel room until our stuff arrives sometime between July 20th and 25th.  Awesome.  Had I been given a bit more warning than a week, I would have used this as an opportunity for another 30 for 30.  However, given the rushed state in which we exited our former residence, I basically threw everything I thought I might want to maybe have an inclination to wear in the next month into a suitcase, and was done with it.  This resulted in over-packing and under-inspiration each day as I’m getting dressed.  Which ends in a similar scene every morning.  Me scratching my head over my suitcase and mentally counting down the days until the rest of my closet arrives.  
It’s 17, just in case you were wondering.

    I love this! Those two colors are beautiful together.

    I can’t imagine how difficult it is right now to live out of a suitcase. And over two more weeks! You’re a saint.

    Ooooh, the coral and mint are so pretty together! It’s such a pain to live without your stuff for a while isn’t it? Hope it arrives sooner rather than later. :)

  10. This is adorbs! I want to be able to pack as well as you in a rush – I always forget jewelry. Always. But your necklace makes the outfit.
