FYI, F21 is now using safety yellow bags or at least some of them are. In case you have orders going to your place of work, you have been warned. It reminds me of my 1st QVC order, years ago, which arrived in bright yellow with QVC QVC QVC stamped in red all over it. Mortified.
While at the mall, I meant to take a full length pic in a fitting room and totally forgot. Do I look relaxed? Yes, I do. I spent 1 hour there and walked away with 1/3 of my tax info completed. It's amazing what can be accomplished w/out the usual distractions. As far as the outfit, I knew I wanted to wear the striped top. Then I thought, Skittles! Even though it was a bit warm, I went w/the Cambridge for bright candy color. I couldn't find my Jackie in cerise. Candy necklace and green patent shoes complete the theme.
Top (M): Forever 21 striped slouchy slub top - See this one, too)
Necklace: The Limited SU10, I think (Similar in blue, rows of beads in coral and I love kitsch, but fruit?)
Jeans (29S): My beloved toothpicks)
While in F21 I saw the Bali print skirt (2000012864), which is a polyester ringer for Anthro's silk Phosphorescence skirt from last year.
How I'm livin'
1. I'm not a sweets person. I'm salty, baby. However, I love Skittles, hence the post title. I recently bought some large packs on sale, but haven't opened them. I feel guilty about the impact of sugar, esp when I don't get cravings for it. Skittles remind me of ice skating because I faithfully purchased them from the vending machine when I was young. And they have a hilarious FB fan page. I'll probably bust open a pack soon.
2. We had popcorn for dinner (salty!) and watched The Fighter. Early in the day it crossed my mind to have popcorn for dinner, nothing else, and G Money suggested it to me a few hours later. Why can't I use my psychic prowess for the Lotto? The Fighter was good. Christian Bale is phenomenal. Of course it doesn't hurt that he's hawt. I'll keep him as a fantasy, though, because I imagine he's a crazy mo' fo' and that's because of his talent, not the crazy rant that was foolishly leaked long ago. I'll let you Google it. Melissa Leo was fantastic. I think that's the first thing I've seen her in. Amy Adams. Always stellar. Ok, Wahlberg is still Marky Mark. However, he has a slight Matt Damon thing about him, which is attractive and he simply has "it." I wasn't as bothered or distracted by him as I thought I might be. He was great in Rock Star & Boogie Nights. He seems to work hard and I hope he gets that role of a lifetime in the future.
3. You haven't seen any Idol updates from me because G Money has a habit of disappearing when it's not on, freeing me to blog/talk on phone/channel surf/watch reality smut on tv while on treadmill, without an audience. Of course on Idol nights he seems to want together time. I'm working w/his schedule a bit, so I don't say no. I think what I need to do is find out exactly when Idol is on (they've moved it since the beg) and then try to get him on a different together time schedule. Oh, I asked if he wanted his blog name changed and he said no. Doesn't want to confuse anyone. *lol* I guess he doesn't mind it if some think he's throwing duckets around, making it rain.
Chime in...

Oh leopard top?!?!? You must post a pic soon, I love leopard!!!
ReplyDeletehilarious post, had my morning giggle, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pops of color, so fun for Spring and Summer!
ReplyDeleteI heart popcorn too (and sweets too, ugh). Target has the bomb popcorn, I've recently discovered it and really wish I hadn't.
I have quite a soft spot for leopard, I'd love to see a pic of the top.
ReplyDeleteWas that belt horrible or what? I can't get that odor out of my head. So glad you like the skirt. I agree with you, it will be wearable into early fall.
Salty popcorn for dinner girl here. I tell myself it's a whole grain :)
I have no idea what Skittles are but I am glad that I read the post anyway ;-).
ReplyDeleteI recently watched The Fighter too and I found it a little un-emotional for a box movie (unlike Cinderella Man, for example, one of the most underrated movies ever). But Oh! Christian Bale and Amy Adams were awesome (I think she deserved the Oscar more than Melissa Leo). Christian Bale really IS the De Niro of our times IMO, he completely transforms.
As for Mark Walberg, he is the opposite, always the same in each movie that he plays in. But you are right, he has a thing. Oh and can I add that I saw him in person a few years back outside of a nightclub in LA when he was still that guy who slept with Madonna and he was the HOTTEST guy that I had even laid my eyes on (a friend of mine knew him, not that we talked, just said Hi!)?
Who's yo Daddy, mami? LOL I like Lil Poppa for a new nickname for G. LOL
ReplyDeleteHah! Thanks for the morning giggle. Love all the bright colours in your outfit. Cute cute cute. I'm a savoury girl also (salty sounds, well, salty), but have no love for popcorn. Gets stuck in my teeth and I spend the rest of the night trying to pick it out. As you know I work in one town and BF is in another. Wednesday night it's my Supernatural night, so even though we're on skype, he knows not to disturb me. He knows I need my together time with Dean and Sam. Oh yeah. That won't change when I move back. ;) My verif word is "suged".
ReplyDeleteI have a massive girl crush on Amy Adams. She's going to be the new Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman movie! I'm psyched! I still need to watch her in The Fighter, though.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new leopard top! And I wish we could've seen a full-length shot of your outfit today because all those bits and pieces look like so much fun!
Love all the colors - and the fact you called it Skittles! <3

I am just so digging those green flats. So blinded by my newfound need for kelly green flats, I couldn't even read the rest... :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post! It's always good to know that other people like to have popcorn for dinner too. And I totally use the whole grain excuse, like Desert Flower! :)
ReplyDeleteI had a childhood thing for skittles also - that was my go-to movie candy. Never thought to wear something inspired by them though. Love it!
I'm glad G Money didn't want to change his blog name. I smile every time I read that. :)
Hmm... verification is "uppers"...
