green and blue and blooms all over

I couldn't find my other pairs of tights.

So I wore these ones. I am really pleased with how this outfit turned out. The dress is actually a skirt I got at a clothes swap. It didn’t look good as a skirt; but I really loved the colour and pattern so I could not pass it up (and no one else wanted it at all, I didn’t even have to swap for it). I don’t generally wear blue with green or approve of those who do; but wait a minute, I’m liking it. It’s like a whole new world. ;-) I borrowed this trick from Christina at Second Skin (who, btw, is totally awesome).

As for the really awesome t-shirt: I like how you know the kitty cat is up to something; but you're not quite sure what. I would ask him, but he's just a cartoon on a shirt. So he probably can't talk. I can tell you though, that he has a heart nose and is rather cute when he is fully visible. Though I really like how he looks as is, peeking out all sneaky like.

Hey, here's a problem with living in an apartment building: *&%*__s vacuuming the hallway outside your door when your baby is napping. Thankfully he's a good sleeper or those wouldn't be asterisks up there.

Also, for all of you ladies who like belts (and doesn't everyone like a good belt?) I totally recommend checking out your local thrift shops. A dollar for a LEATHER belt in good condition is an awesome deal. Even if you aren't much of a thrift shopper, it is worth the stop in. I mean, how can you beat that?

Oh, and did you notice the blossoms in this picture? Yes! The trees are in bloom! Everywhere around this town of mine! So I simply had to get a picture of one for online bragging purposes (nannananananna). Only, this morning: snow. Seriously!!! Thankfully it went away. That's what I get for saying: nananannananan; pride cometh before the snowfall, you know. Ooo, that was a really bad joke. Pretend I didn't make it.

Okay, I've obviously got nothing real to say here. But first, one more picture:

ps. It appears that I have won a blog award:

The amazing Skooter (dear Skooter, I just realized I don't know you're real name, unless of course Skooter is your real name, and in that case: cool name) of Pink Blue Whale Fashion sent this my way. I am super amazing excited because I have never won a blog award before. Yeah Kimberellie! See, I'm so excited I'm self-congratulatory! Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to pass it around. So you'll be seeing me do that in a few days.
