 I finally got my red denim!! And I love them. I love the fit, the length and the bright color. They are the perfect pair of denim! And, there are so many options for fall. I went for the most basic, black and white. This little top is darling! I love the tiny polka dots and little bow at the neck. (See below for closeup.) And this blazer.... One of the best investments! I can't even remember when I purchased it, but it has served me well. All in all, a successful look!

Oh, and I had a little visitor during our shoot! My son was asking for mama during the whole 10 minutes were outside. He wouldn't leave the window and I couldn't crop him out, literally!

Yesterday was my fifth consecutive day of a fever, and yes I went to work, but I just wasn't feeling it! Hence the cropped, colored jeans and basic black tee. However, this tee is anything but basic. Purchased during a girls trip to NY in 2007, which was a whirlwind trip, it is so on trendy with the delicate lace but so comfy because its a t-shirt!

How I've worn these jeans before:

 

 I've had this tin of Rosebud Salve since the early 80s! It was given to me by my great grandmother who used this product for years prior. Good for a little hint of color, chapped lips, burns, rashes and more and immensely popular among makeup artists of late. Funny, a product that's been around since the late 1800s returns to the masses! Again, I'm a trend setter, or at least my great grandmother was!
