Winter Brights: Pink Pants, Blue Patent Leather Wedges And A Black Button Down

     I thought a little bit of color was in order to brighten up the Arctic wasteland formerly known as Pennsylvania.  And what better way to do that then with a pair of bright pink pants and cobalt patent leather shoes?  Except maybe my neon lace skirt….but I’ll save that for another day.
     As I’ve mentioned before, these GAP broken in khakis rank pretty high on my favorite pants list. I have them in gazillions of colors and they can all be dressed up or down.  I haven’t been wearing them as much recently because I’ve put on a few pounds of puppy weight and they don’t hang exactly the way I like; still wearable, but not slouchy like they should be.
     Ahhh…what’s “puppy weight” you might ask? The technical definition would be weight gained as a direct result of being unable to work out with an infant dog under foot who needs your undivided love and attention during his every waking moment.  While it is true I love nothing more than cuddling and kissing our chubby little ball of love, he has taken up time normally reserved for hardcore working out. And yes, I realize my less than stellar eating habits as of late really have very little to do with the puppy.  Just yesterday, I attempted it for the first time since his arrival and I think we’ve reached the point that it’s doable.  He’s super interested and wants to kiss me any time I’m near his level, but for the most part he stayed clear.  So, give me a month and these khakis will be back to their perfectly slouchy selves.

Linking up with: Get Your Pretty On: I Feel Pretty Link Party and Random Wednesday at Because Shanna Said So.

What a great mix of colours. The black is so unexpected. My pug and my body are both missing our daily walks. When I go downstairs to get on the treadmill I think she is jealous. She stands there looking at me like, “why do you get to run and I don’t?” making me feel guilty. Zoe is three and still wants to come and jump on me when I do floor work. I swear by the time this winter is over I will have put on 20 lbs and an undercoat of fur. I’m turning into a bear. That… Read more »

Oh, Debbie you look great in those jeans. They are fabulous and I love how you styled them with the cobalt blue and THAT necklace just sets it all of beautifully. I am not a necklace person {more a scarf gal} but I love this entire ensemble.

And …thank you for your friendship and support!! You know what? I just realized I didn’t read your email yet. I will zip to it right now and reply!!! ♥
