DUCK POND

First, thank you all so much for all of your awesome comments, emails and positive vibes this week. It's just been a stellar week through and through, and you all play a part in that. Keep on reading and know that I appreciate every single one of my readers!

I'm way loving today's outfit. I'm feeling funky and confident and my husband pulled it out once again with the photos. He's just killing it!

The shirt was an H&M purchase ($25) in NYC last weekend. It was the first piece of the puzzle. Well, actually, I still had my sandals (KC Reaction, years ago $50ish - these are one of my favorite pairs of shoes of ALL time and of course, the ONLY pair of shoes that Iggy has ever attempted to eat! But, if you can't see it, I'm not pointing it out.) on from my previous outfit, but anyway, I digress... Soooo... because I firmly believe that you can't have black and white stripes without leopard print, the belt (H&M, $8 years ago) was a natural second.

Then, I looked pretty funny in my nicely belted tunic with no pants ... hmmm ...

The obvious choice with this ensemble was something in the red family, so I was THRILLED when I pulled out these shorts from last year (The Limited via TJMaxx, $13 or $16) and they completed everything so perfectly.

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am! I love it when that happens!
