my try at the trend challenge v 1


dress: Ross
scarf : boutique
shoes: old


i've been dying to participate in Marion's trend challenge.. just for the fun of it!  and, of course ~ an excuse to shop.  i just didn't swing it well this month tho.  i sent myself tweets and everything, but it was tuesday night as i dashed into Ross on my way home that i found something "yellow" to wear.  it was the best i could do.  

this darn little yellow sundress just couldn't hold up my ta-ta's properly so i improvised and sewed on an old pearl necklace as straps.  and it totally worked!  this def won't be the best yellow trend you see over at Marionberry, but hey ~ i tried.  go see Marion to see how it is done.  i'm serious.  just click {here}.  and then come back and tell me what you would do for Marion's legs.  there's not a lot I can think of that I wouldn't do.  dead serious.  ;)


now i'm going to go slip on my nude pumps, a blazer, and get my booty to work.




ps. miss me ~ on-the-way to pro ~ jacked up my camera settings thus the grainy yucky pics. eeeeeek!! so much for yesterday's yipee look-at-me! these pics are all {badly} edited.
