Now this is a story all about how my life got flip turned upside down, and I’d like to take a minute just sit right there, and I’ll tell you all about how I became a prince…
Wait, what?
I was trying to find something interesting to lead off this post with and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song popped in my head. Don’t ask me why, because I have no idea.
Now, let me tell you about this here neon blouse. I love bright colors, but even I was like WHOA this is bright when I saw it on the rack. BUT, it was on sale and then I got it over Easter weekend and so it was an additional 50% off even the SALE price and so I ended up snagging it for like $16. But that’s neither here nor there. It’s one of those blouses that once I tried it on I just fell in love with it.
However, another totally random, somewhat related but unrelated story about it… right as I was walking out the door to go take these photos, the middle button on it popped off. It had been coming loose for awhile because something snagged on it in the dryer, but I was praying it would just hold on.
So, I still have the button, but I have a confession to make… I can’t sew for jack squat. Sure, sewing a button back on should be a pretty basic thing to be able to do, but alas, I mess it up every time I try.
I took home economics in middle school and made an angel pillow just fine (okay, the pillow looked pretty jacked up if you ask me), but sewing just is not my thing.
However, I refuse to PAY someone to put a button back on, so I shall attempt to reattach the button this weekend.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
You know, if you even really care. 🙂 Bahaha!
What about you? Snagged any awesome deals lately? Anything you SHOULD be able to do but don’t know how? Anyone else sewing-challenged?
Linked up with Shanna and The Pleated Poppy.
Such a pretty outfit! I would have never thought of pairing a floral cardigan with neon, but they looks perfect together.
You can do it!! 🙂 Love the color…and agreed with Niki…now I have that song stuck in my head.

Great color for you Molly! And I love that clutch! I am going to ask for a summer bag in my next Fix! Susan
You look adorbs! Love the color and I can’t wait to see how your sewing endeavor turns out. Good luck and be careful!!! 🙂
Hi Molly. Meeting you through Pleated Poppy. Would love to follow if you were interested in looking at my site as well. I am realitively new. I love your floral looks. This one looks great on you, and something I would go for, as I am a red head and I love the corals and oranges. Looks great

I have the blouse from J.Crew factory in 4 colors. I’m wearing the white one today actually! It seriously is one of my go-to pieces now! Love it with the floral cardigan!
I really like the floral pattern! I actually can sew, but I still procrastinate an embarrassingly long time when it comes to mending because it’s not the most exciting kind of sewing to do.
I wish I could sew a button, but I’m not domesticated at all! I really love the color of this top on you!! It’s absolutely gorgeous.
xo,
Angela
Molly, I will sew the button on for you. I can even do it at Chipotle.
I love that neon, best neon choice I’ve seen in forever!

This is an adorable combo–I love that color on you!
thanks, alyssa!!
Love that top! I might have to get that soon!! You look great! I love how you put outfits together, I wish I was better about that, but I have been struggling with losing the baby weight and I can’t seem to figure out how to dress for my changed figure.
aw thank you, megan!! you can do it!! I know you can! 🙂 it’s all about trial and error!
Love your bright paired with floral. That’s what I posted about today as well! Such a fun trend for spring. And thanks a lot…now the Fresh Prince song is in my head! 😉 Loved that show.

hahha love it! can’t wait to check out your post. 🙂
Molly, that color looks so good on you! I haven’t found any good deals lately … unless you count the over priced J. Crew top that I got 40% off that came in the mail yesterday. And I’m sure you could find a Youtube video showing you how to sew on a button. 🙂
thank you so much, rebecca!! and you’re totally right… i don’t know why i didn’t think to check YouTube for a tutorial!!!!
This color is so beautiful on you! Gorgeous, Molly!
thanks, lauren!
