BODACIOUS IS THE COLOR FOR FALL

I am on the mend! I want to thank all of you who said a prayer for me. It is crazy how something so small, can render you helpless. When you tell someone you have a stiff neck, I can just see them thinking, “you need to put on your big girl panties.” I probably have been guilty of thinking the same thing myself. This has been one of those life lessons about walking a mile in someone’s shoes.I love today’s outfit. I actually loved it better when I first got dressed this morning. These pictures were once again taken after I had worked all day, so please excuse the wrinkles and the shorts that are no longer tight. I also forgot to use my Urban Decay Setting Spray, and my makeup is a little washed out looking. Other than all that, I look great. Hahaha!I am wearing a little “Bodacious” today. Bodacious is the color for fall, at least according to Pantone. You surely didn’t think I would use a word like Bodacious, unless I was talking about Hank Williams Jr, did you? Oh, wait, that is Boceiphus, not Bodacious. Hahaha! I call this color orchid, but I will admit that Bodacious has a little more flair. I bought this shirt at Old Navy a couple of weeks ago, and I fell in love immediately with the colors. It buttons up half way, and it has a really long tail. I had planned on wearing it untucked, or the new half tuck way (I’ll show you that look later), but it was so long in the back that it did not look good with the shorts. It would look better with pants, but I wanted to get as much wear out of my shorts as I could. Fall will soon be here, and we will have to retire the shorts till next year.

My camera actually fell, lens first, on to the tile floor in the kitchen. I just about died! Thankfully, the camera was fine, but I had to wait till Joe came home for him to work on the leg. I had already taken off my jewelry by the time he came home. He fixed the tripod, and I threw my jewelry back on, but I can see that I didn’t make my Rosalie necklace short enough in these pictures. It looked better today, I swear!!! At least you can see the matching earrings, named Margaret.
I don’t know why I am even showing you this close-up of the Shelena necklace. You can barely see the necklace, but the words say, “God Is Within Her She Will Not Fail.” I absolutely love that!!!I bought these orchid shorts earlier this year at the Loft. I liked these because they had a little longer inseam than most of the other shorts in the store. I was really drawn to this dark purple color, and I have worn them before. When you pick out items with colors you like, then when you look in your closet, you will almost always find something that matches. Because I like this orchid color, I have several items in my closet that will work with the shorts, or the shirt. Buy what you like!
