"Those are some optimistic shoes..."

"Well, those shoes sure are optimistic!" I got that comment more than once yesterday at work while strolling around the office in these cheery yellow jellies. The morning started out bright warm, and I just couldn't resist them, but perhaps I should have looked at the weather forecast? As you can see, it was quite damp by the time I left work! But could you blame me for wearing them? I've been waiting since early winter when I picked them up for $10 on sale at DSW! The bows kill me!

Once again I'm hopefully channeling spring/summer, especially with this adorable sailboat printed top (which is still available!). I love how it looks like someone painted them on with watercolors, it makes for such a whimsical pattern. It's also got an an exposed zipper at the back neckline which I totally forgot to take a picture of, but it looks really cool!

Jeans: Forever 21+

I laid in bed last night with the window cracked, listening to the rain pattering outside my window and thunder rolling. Thunderstorms are my favorite!

  1. For real, if our shoes can't be optimistic, than WHAT can?! Love the bows! And yellow's my favorite color, ever!

    If I wasn't grounded from ever shopping, again, in my entire life. I'd be buying that top RIGHT NOW.

  14. I am loving this blog and have been contemplating the F21 sailboat top. I was wondering, does it run big? I'm a 16, and would usually hit the 2X here but was wondering if I could maybe size down to the 1X. Thanks!

  15. @C it's definitely a roomy top - I have the 2X, my bust is 47" and the girls have got room to spare. If you're small busted I definitely think you could go with the 1X. Hope that helps!
