i don't even like mustard





Man, there sure is a lot of mustard going on in this blog.  I don't even like mustard-the-condiment in real life. (That must be what my mad face is about.  Actually, that is just me hating static electricity with the heat of a thousand suns.)

I might be head over heels in love with this belt I picked up at Anthropologie on Valentine's Day.  Can't find it on the website but it is beautimous and a perfect cure for that frumpty dumpty feeling I had all day.  Probably gonna be seeing this one a lot from now on... don't say I didn't warn ya.  On a side note: I always try to mask my frumpy feeling with fuller dresses and skirts like this one but then I think I actually look more frumpy... what's your cure for the mornings when nothing feels right?

I love your belt and that beautiful mustard color on you. I don't like the condiment in real life, either.
Like you, I combat frumpy days with belts, because for me, layering them over dresses or sweaters adds more shape to whatever I'm wearing.

Very much love the adorable baby accessory :) (and also hate mustard...yuck). Belts are definitely a nice de-frumpifier! I'm feeling a bit frumpy this week in general, so will let you know if I have any new insights...

The belt rocks, and mustard---as a color---is one of my faves, too!

I definitely skinny jean and boot it to avoid feeling frumpy. But I know you can't always wear your skinnies!

I like this, all of it :)

I love your color combo! I picked up a similar belt in Puerto Rico, it's orange, there was a black one I should have gotten, rats! Yours is beautiful with the various colors!
To avoid frumpiness I try to add something with structure, like my jacket today, but you do a great job too, especially by adding a belt to the dress!

I am a belt fanatic and that belt is beyond awesome!!!

I actually like the condiment and the fashion color. But, I think that pairing mustard with blue was a touch of brilliance! I love it!

It's a fantabulous belt and it's just fine with me if you want to wear it a lot and take pictures of it. :o)

I brighten my mood and outfits with cute accessories, most often little animal necklaces or pins. It may be juvenile, but I love having little friends with me to help me keep smiling throughout the day.

I really love this color combination. Perfect for still-kind-of-cold weather, but with a spring touch.

You may not like mustard, but mustard sure likes you. Looks great!

What an amazing belt! I can just imagine that it would look with just about anything.

Really like this entire outfit, wish I could wear mustard... I think pairing it with blue is such a great idea.

(by the way, just found your blog and have to tell you - I really like your style)
