Berry Bright

One of the things that people often comment on about my blog is that it's very colorful. I am never sure if that's a compliment or not, but who doesn't mind a little color in their lives? Apparently my outfit today was so colorful and eye-catching that a few people stopped me to say how much they liked it, which just goes to prove that color makes everyone smile or at least take note of what one's wearing.

If you've followed my blog for a while, you'll know that some of my designer goods (among other things) were stolen a year back when we had a break-in our house. These stolen items included some of my sunglasses, including a colorful pair of turquoise Ray-Bans and lavender Prada sunglasses. I finally found a replacement for my purple Prada sunglasses this winter at the Neiman Marcus outlet in Las Vegas. This was actually the same place where I bought my original pair of purple Prada sunglasses many years ago. Finding the replacement, just like a look full of color, definitely made me smile!

  4. I also enjoy your bold, bright and cheerful sense of style! Pinning this for inspiration, as I am totally rebuilding this outfit with items from own wardrobe (burgundy pencil skirt + berry cardigan + novelty tee). :)
