Spring into Fall

TGIF!  I just had another one of those weeks, kind of a recurring theme I think until my boss comes back.  I won't dwell on it though, the weekend looms ahead and that is all that matters!

Sweater - New York & Co, thrifted
T-shirt - Aeropostale, old
Pants - Athleta, from sister-in-law
Shoes - Etienne Aigner, thrifted
Necklace - DIY by me
Bracelets - S&D, A Little Bird on Grand 

This outfit turned out a lot more springy than I was expecting it to.  I had one co-worker comment that it was very spring like in fact.  And another one said something about it giving a St. Patrick's Day vibe.  Oh well, I liked the look, I adore these pants even if they are a super light color.  And I had an arm party for the first time in a while too!  I tend to not wear bracelets much once it gets cold!


Last night Mr. Monkey and I had a nice relaxing evening together for the first time in several days, poor guy has been just as crazed and stressed at work as me, except his work has been extending past traditional working hours a bit.  So it was nice that he was able to just chill with me last night.  We made one of our favorite dinners, homemade fajitas.  Oh so delicious!  We also caught up on some shows we enjoy.  You want to know what show I'm enjoying more than I expected to?  Revolution.  I am finding I am really addicted to some of these post-Apocalyptic shows like Revolution and The Walking Dead (which was a doozy this week, oof).  I had to laugh though, this morning the Pants Monkey told me he had a dream last night in which he killed someone who actually thanked him for doing so.  I told him maybe we are watching a few too many of those shows!  I promise, he's a peace loving person even if his subconscious says otherwise!


Onward to the weekend!  I hope you all have great ones.  And next week will be pretty exciting, Megan Mae and Keely's Fall Color Challenge will be taking place!  It's not too late to sign up, just head on over to one of their blogs for all the details!

Inspiration Monday - They were all yellow

Good morning friends!  Welcome to Monday.  It was another good weekend gone by too fast.  I was able to spend time with family, a couple of college friends and went on a thrift date with Lori, not to mention I was able to spend some nice time with my Pants Monkey too.  Aren't those the best kind of weekends?  Anyway, it is Monday and here is today's Inspiration Monday choice - Olivia Palmero.


And here is my interpretation.  It's funny, I wasn't going to wear this yellow skirt and had even considered being done with this yellow skirt for the season, but after watching the Emmy's last night and seeing Julianne Moore's bright yellow dress I decided to go for it, especially when it's going to be warmer this afternoon.


Speaking of the Emmy's, I only got to watch the last hour or so, but from what I saw, did it seem like they were rushing to anyone else?  No, I don't want the winners to be allowed to drone on and on forever, but it just seemed like they were cutting them off super fast this year.  And I also felt like the presenters were speed reading the nominees too.  I don't know, I am all for keeping it to three hours but come on. Oh well.


I was happy to see Modern Family win again as we just started watching it this summer and it's comedy gold.  But, I would have liked to have seen the love spread around a bit too - I love me some Big Bang Theory too and think it's time for the nerds to have their day.  I've never watched Homeland - I honestly thought Breaking Bad would win, but they've also won a lot in the past too (for good reason - very intense but well done show), so maybe it's time for another show to shine in that category too.  And I'm sorry - best comedy actor - Jon Cryer, really?  Sorry to any fans, but that show is soooo past it's prime.


Back to my outfit, I do wish this yellow skirt was a little more on the mustard side - I think that might be a color I'll be looking for either in pants or a skirt to take me into winter a bit more.  But for today, this bright yellow guy works!
