I have to be honest with you. I don't...love popiscles. Don't get me wrong. I like them, I really do. They're great on hot summer days, and I can't deny that they're refreshing. That said, when it comes to dessert, I prefer chocolate. When it comes to frozen treats, I prefer ice cream. And when it comes to refreshing things on hot days, iced coffee is my jam. So I'm not quite sure how I ended up not only in love with this dress, but with multiple popsicle art prints on my wall. They're so cute and colorful, I suppose I just naturally gravitated toward them as "art" despite them not being my favorite. It's even more surprising considering that my friends had a joke in college about me revolving around popsicles. As you might remember, I went to school in Illinois, and questions about me being from California came up immediately and often. So immediately that one friend asked if my "popsicles melt" the moment I met him. You know, like the Katy Perry song. I'll never live it down, but I'll embrace it with this dress.
Other than thinking and talking too much about popsicles, life is great right now. Work is busy, and I just found out that I'll be going to Palm Springs for a conference in a couple of weeks. My parents and Jon's parents are meeting for the first time this weekend, so I'm a little nervous. Fingers crossed that they become best friend like they have in my imagination.
Also, there is something VERY exciting and wonderful coming to the blog on Monday! If you like women's rights, free things, and doing good, keep an eye out.

The popsicle dress is so fun and playful, but I LOVE that cardigan! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteFamily meeting family is always a bit stressful- hope it went as well as you hoped! Love this print and the mustard yellow line on the cardigan is just the perfect touch that elevates this outfit to the next level.
