So your responses to my last post were actually pretty surprising -- I was thinking that I was going to get some "Yeah, maybe you should have done something different," comments -- and instead, you all seemed to like the cream&white color combo and the mix of textures! Thanks for all your kind and supportive feedback, it's inspiring me to be even more playful with my daily combinations!

I can't believe I've never posted this outfit before, because this might be my go-to outfit. I wear it at least once a week. I like the mix of patterns, and the floral skirt and dark tights make me feel slightly grunge. The necklace is made of real shells and I've had it for a few years now.

We had trivia tonight and won third place. Not our best, but we were among a few teams who tied at the end and it's just how everything landed after the tiebreaker question. I was really proud of myself for getting two questions that no one else in my team knew: What animated movie did the Goonies watch in the Goonies? (Snow White) What city was the show "Golden Girls" set? (Miami)

I guess reading Mental Floss and playing Sporcle are paying off...

 We were recently tagged by Betz of her armoire for  the Beautiful Blogger award! Thanks, Betz!

And now I have to share 7 random things about myself...Nikki can post about her random things in her next entry.

1) I am still scared of the dark. I think when I was little I watched way too many horror movies (Nightmare on Elm Street, It) and never really got over my fear. I have to have at least the window blinds open or the computer monitor on.

2) I was born in the Philippines and lived there until I was 2. Because our dad was in the military, I've also lived in Alaska, Hawaii (for about a month) and California. After he left the military, we lived in Alabama and Georgia.

3) I love old movies and some of my faves include "It Happened One Night" and "Singin' in the Rain."

4) I I majored in journalism and psychology for my undergraduate work.

5) I once put Sun-In in my hair thinking it would give me light highlights. It turned the top of my hair orange.

6) I hoard certain things. I collect penguin stuff, Phantom of the Opera ornaments and old movie posters.

7) My favorite flavor of ice cream is peppermint.

And now we get to tag 7 lovely ladies.

1) Wear Necessities

2) My Edit

3) Musing Around

4) Lizzypunch

5) Adiaphane

6) Dishevelled Stars

7) Love at First Shop

Hope you all have a good night!
