Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows

I feel like I took a risk with this title.  My first outfit post on my brand new blog and I made a bold statement with the use of an Oxford Comma.  But I'm going with it because I am going to make a lot of bold statements so I want you to be prepared.

If you read my first post you may have remembered that I mentioned already having a lot of daily outfit photos.  One of the many reasons why I love my job is because on Tuesdays we get to take outfit pictures!  My good friend and co-worker, Margaret of http://tryabreathmint.com/, takes my pics and deals with my diva-ish demands.  When we first started doing these weekly shots it was two and a half years ago, back in the prehistoric days before Instagram...I know it's hard to remember.  Since these images were mainly for use on the company Flickr page, we would only take one.  As time went on and the magic of apps like Picstitch were available at our fingertips, we began taking some close up and detail shots.  But since a lot of my photos will be from the archives to start, I do apologize for the lack of detail shots.

Okay, now that that's been explained, let me explain a few more things.  First, I will try to keep future posts less verbose than this one.  I realize I have a tendency to go on and on...and on.  I hope you find some humor in my writing, if you are still reading.  Hello?  Anyone???  Second, I didn't know how to choose my first outfit pic.  Like I said, I have two and a half years worth of daily outfit shots.  How do you choose from 150 plus pics?  Well, we all play favorites.  And this is my favorite.
I mean, it's a RAINBOW dress!!!  I feel like in this one picture I am making so many statements.  I'm fun!  I like color!  I support gay marriage (to the extreme)!  All things that I think (I hope) are true.

And can we talk about these shoes for a minute? 

Okay, so that was less talking and more just looking at a picture.  And lest we forget the accessories, and that I had put pink streaks in my hair for one day to match, we remember here

So there you have it.  My first outfit post.  Wow.  We've already been through so much together!  I hope you enjoyed reading and seeing and I really hope you will come back for more.  Because believe me, there will be so many more.  Most will be full of sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows.  But don't let that blind you from the dry humor and the ability to use the Oxford Comma.

  2. Don't take away the text in future posts. Part of what I dislike about fashion blogs is their lack of content other than photos and your personality shines through all the verbiage. Love it!

    So glad you're finally making a blog for all your amazing outfits and equally amazing outfit shots.
