The Color Wheel

It's a beautiful sunny COLD day in Seattle.

Spring is right around the corner which means color and lots of it. I personally love fall and winter because I like layers and being super cozy. But I am looking forward to some sun even if it's only 40 degrees outside. For me it's a win-win situation.

Yesterday was pay day and today I got news that I got into a writing retreat that I applied for, which is super exciting! It's a master class workshop about screen writing and women writers. When I got the e-mail at work I play it cool until I excused myself to the safety of my bathroom and went wild! Did a little celebrating dance by myself and called my mom.

Yeah. I am that nerd.

Now, onto the fashion. I played around with color today. I am pretty sure I am wearing 7 different shades and colors.

button up - (NYLON Challenge shirt) $3.99

tank top - (hand-me-down) freebie

NYLON Challenge: It's in the Jeans.

*Since this is my second challenge, I am still working on the tiny details of how I want to present it so bare with me! Thanks :)

Here is my latest NYLON Challenge. In the August 2011 issue they highlight that color jeans are making a comeback. Of course the prices are ridiculously too much for little old me, so I set out to Goodwill in Shoreline and found some great color jeans for a fraction of the price.

Top Three Prices: (Teal) $4.50 (Purple) $3.00 (Orange) $5.00

Bottom Pants Prices: (Red) $2.00 (Powder Blue) $2.50 (Yellow) $6.00

I will admit, it's really hard to find good jeans when your thrifting. But if you set aside time and truly dedicate yourself, you can find some amazing pairs that will be cheap and extremely fashionable.
