..what I wore..

I have said before that I really love olive green and that I don't own enough of it. So, I took an opportunity to add a bit of the lovely green shade to my clothing collective.  I found a lovely pair of skinny ankle-length cargos at JCPenney and have been wearing the heck out of them.  They are totally cute and comfortable. 

Here is a version of my favorite outfit to wear with them so far. Though most of my outfit is thrifted and the pants are I <3 Ronson. I also threw in my favorite new blush, which I won from Lucky mag and Tarte!

..brrrr..

Alright, where is my Spring.  I had to get my wool coat out again this weekend, boo.  I suppose it could be worse though.  Last year this same weekend there was a huge amount of snow, which is extra crazy for Arkansas.  Anyway I did brave the unseasonable weather.

..under my umbrella..

A couple of weekends ago we went for a drive in the country.  It was a nice day, but a bit overcast with the threat of rain, luckily I recently found this pretty new umbrella at a local surplus store. 

Now all I need is a trench coat and some galoshes and I'll be ready for some spring showers.

..you've got red on you..

I will go ahead and explain that I pretty much only ever wear red lipstick.  And, I only wear it when I have on something else that is red or at least something else really bright.  I am weird, I know, but I feel really odd if I know that my mouth is so noticable.  Besides, I am always making goofy faces.

Today, I embrace the red.  This sweater is so bright that only a large amount of silly face making will overpower it...

 BTW, this is my favorite winter hat this year.

And, yes that is a cute puppy on my sweater :)

..olive you..

And so it is Valentine's Day.  But I have already done one of those.  Instead you get me in my favorite new(thrifted) absolutely most comfortable sweater ever! I found it in the mens section at the Goodwill.  I am a bit smitten with the olive green, which isn't news, as it has been a fave of mine for many, many years, though I sadly don't own much of it.  I even love a good dirty (olive filled) martini.  I am just an olive lover all around!

Oh, I had to show off the new addition to the family, our cute little Scion :)

..super snow..

Yay!  We had a lovely snowy day today!  I even got off work early and came home in time to do some playing in the snow.  We ended up with about 5 inches of fluffy snow at our house.  

I love having such a beautiful backdrop so when I got home I decided to play dress up, even though I wasn't going anywhere, so I could take some photos in the snow..

 I love how lots of tiny birds fluff themselves up and go play in the snow.

..adieu 2010..

Wow, another year gone by.  It's hard to believe.  As I was looking back though my blog from last year, I was surprised at how long ago some of the posts were made, they felt like just yesterday!  It was a good year with some highs and some lows, and I tried to enjoy it as much as possible.  Here is a look back at the year that was.

....and back around!  I can't wait to see what this new year will bring.
