...go bold or go home

This post is a couple of weeks late because life is hectic but this past Easter weekend my dear friend April came to visit and I took her to the High Line.  (Next to walking the Brooklyn Bridge, the High Line is my favorite free thing to do in the city.)  I was excited to have a weekday off because I typically have to wear business professional clothing on Monday's but on this particular Monday I was free to wear what I wanted.  And what I wanted to wear were my new green pants.  I wanted something fun and happy to wear around my neck and none of my necklaces were working for me so I wandered into my roommates closet and found this brilliant scarf.  Thanks Jill! And many thanks to April for snapping these pics.

...stripes are where it's at

::Warning:: Ridiculously white legs ahead

Mango opened a store a few months ago across the street from my office and I purposefully stayed out of it because I knew I'd want to purchase everything in the store.  When I entered the store for the first time a couple of weeks ago I was able to control myself but the two things I purchased have stripes.  This skirt is, by far, my favorite purchase in quite a while.  Anyone who knows me knows that I have a thing for color (and lots of it), so this skirt, with its stripes and color was a no-brainer purchase for me.
