Grabbing for Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you remembered to wear your green today and don't get pinched. I found myself in the spirit and gravitated toward the shade all weekend. The crazy thing is, I rummaged through my closet for several minutes trying to find a green top, pair of pants, accessories, shoes....anything. Come to find out, I don't own much of it. I was scratching my head in confusion because it's one of my favorite colors to wear. Thanks to this little day of four leaf clovers, leprechauns and luck, there is no second guessing what my next purchase is going to be.

Old Navy Plaid Top - old (option here, here and here) // J.Crew Factory Colored Denim (option here and here) // JcPenney Denim Jacket (option here and here) // Old Navy Flats (another great option) // Shop Ruche Bag (on sale!) // Nashelle Ring c/o // Gigglosophy Heart Ring c/o // Sweet Clover Bracelet c/o // Lilac Bijoux XO Bracelet c/o // Michael Kors Watch c/o The Jeweler's Wife // Forever 21 Sunglasses (option)

Speaking of weekends, not much went down in my part of town. The weather couldn't decide what it wanted to do; even the Weather Channel app on my phone couldn't keep up with it's unpredictability. 

We ate our weight in food, watched way too many episodes of 48 Hours Mystery (it's like crack), slept more than we have slept in months, the girls camped out in our neighbor's backyard (full-on tent, flashlights, sleeping bags, campfire, roasted marshmallows and they made it through the night, even though we hung around until they were fast asleep), dabbled in a little shopping, made it to 12:30 church service on Sunday, ate some more annnnnnd got a relapse of pink eye. UGH! 

I thought it would be safe to put my contacts back in, not thinking that this pesky little bacteria would still live on my lenses. Blonde moment? Possibly. It came back with a vengeance. Back to sunglasses and off to the eye doctor I go. These were my last and only set, so I sported my specs, bare to the bone eyes all weekend and kept my fingers crossed that I wouldn't run into anyone I knew. Shallow? Maybe. Embarrassing nonetheless. Lessons learned.

P.S. I met Erica, one of the coolest girls ever, last Thursday night at the Fossil SXSW event featuring Foster the People. Out of hundreds of people, we stood in line with her and her fiance. Fate, I tell you. Come to find out we have mutual friends, had a zillion things in common, spent the entire night together and plan on hanging out again soon. It's so refreshing to meet other Austin bloggers because it seems like we are few and far between. You guys should check out her blog, Miss Louie. She is just the cutest and her YouTube channel is too much fun!
