YELLOW! It’s a trend… of the month. #Fashion

You guys, I am gonna be real with you for a second. I have a lot of fun with the creativity associated with putting together an “outfit” or whatever you wanna call it. But I do NOT love taking pictures of myself and I do not love when I awkwardly think my neighbors think I’m nuts for taking these photos in our driveway.

No matter how many ways from Sunday I try to play it off, it just looks weird.

So, can we all just own it?

I now have started waving to my neighbors as I take my photos. At least that way they think I’m a friendly and neighborly nutcase.

Moving on to the TREND OF THE MONTH CHALLENGE. I love Marion over at Marionberry Style. She’s pretty darn awesome. She’s hilarious, she is a teacher, and she’s got way better style than me. Also, her teaching stories are so funny.

Well, each month Marion hosts a “Trend of the Month Challenge” – where you get a, well, trend, for that month, to create an outfit or look with, and then you link up on her blog.

Anyway, this month’s trend is YELLOW. You know, simple as that. The color YELLOW.

SO, I put together a little diddy yesterday with some YELLOW in it.

Ya heard?

the look you see before you below is my, “Oh what’s that over there?” pose. again, avoiding the looks from neighbors. BAHAHA.

standard thumbs up for yellow trends.

The Outfit Deets:

SO, are you a fan of yellow? What are you doing on this fine Wednesday?

In addition to linking up with Marion, I’m also linking up with Rolled Up Pretty, The Pleated Poppy, Two Thirty-Five Designs, and A Little Bit of Lacquer today!

oxox, all for now!

  3. I’m loving your yellow! Taking pictures in public is one of the most awkward things ever for me. I always try to find the least populated areas away from home. 🙂

  7. I totally feel you on the photo taking bit. I feel so awkward. And I can’t get over it. IT’s the poses too. I can’t, in good conscious, stand in my yard while my kids run wild around me, and look aloof in a cute skirt. No can do. You look adorable though. Love the belt!

  10. Uh, yeah. I feel like a FOOL when I take photos of myself. After confessing my disdain for taking photos for my blog, some readers told me that I should own it, get over my fear, and take the photos. I’m getting better. I wouldn’t say that I completely and totally own it–but I’m on my way, Miss Molly. I’m on my way!!

  17. Love your yellow! It looks good on you – I really like how you used yellow accessories and a cardigan to spice up a more neutral outfit!

  19. How cute is that ruffled top?! I’ve been straying from taking photos right outside my apt because it attracts too many neighbors. I actually like it better when I’m in a public place where no one else knows me. I don’t care as much if strangers think I’m crazy 🙂

  29. This made me laugh Molly! My neighbors end up coming outside EVERY time I take outfit pics…even if it happens to be at 9am on Saturday! Maybe next time I’ll just try to own it instead of wanting to hide 🙂 Love the yellow cardi and denim shorts…so cute!
