Mustard Love

-
Most of my outdoor photos are taken by friends or hubby. On Saturday, I ventured outside to take some outdoor shoots. I failed miserably! What I got out from that shoot was a big huge mosquito bite on my hand! :X grr. so for the sake of my skin, I went back inside to take photos of my outfit :D I might try again once I find a secluded place so that I won't be so weird about taking pictures of myself lol


I have been searching forever for a plain long mustard cardigan. Just last week, I saw it at F21 and I was pretty happy..and for just $11, I was doing the happy dance! Such an awkward pose! I always do the hand on hip when I don't know how to pose lol
   
 I made this necklace right after I had Kaylee..I was so bored during that 6 weeks of maternity leave! Thank you for visiting my blog, have a great Monday! Will you come back again this Wednesday for a little giveaway?

    Love your dress..it is somewhat between summer and fall. You look lovely here. Nice job at making a DIY necklace and scoring that lovely cardigan for $11. I bought a pink/mauve color two months ago at f21and love it. You should take mote pics inside your home because you have a beautiful place.

    The things we do for outdoor pics, right?! I've gotten my share of bug bites too :( I need to remind myself to stay away from trees and leafy areas, but they're just so picturesque as a background.

    I LOVE the shade of yellow cardigan you've got on. It's the perfect mustard, not too dark and not too light. You look gorgeous, Yvonne!

    PS - I do keep my tripod in my car. It goes where I go!

    Cute outfit. Love the necklace. How were you possibly bored on maternity leave?! I was just exhausted all the time! I had dreams of scrapbooking and doing crafty stuff while on maternity leave and none of it materialized!

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
