Valentine's Week - Pink & Red Layers

Valentine's Week continues with a red sweater and a pink button-up shirt.  I think the lighter pink is an easy way to try red & pink together.  I even tried Fran's trick of layering a tank top over the shirt to prevent bulkiness and awkward bumps!  Remember you can link up all week with your red or pink posts!           

These might be my favorite outfit photos ever!  Saturday evening, it started snowing when we were at dinner.  When we got home, we thought it would be fun to give outside snowy pictures a try.  I think they turned out really fun!  I was freezing, but it was totally worth it!

Shrek-tacular!

Last week, the Omaha Broadway season kicked off with Shrek the Musical.  It was pretty much what I expected.  Since I work in market research, I always think of how I would rate the show if I was given a survey.  Likelihood to Recommend = poor.  Overall rating 0-10 = probably about a 4.  There were some funny parts, but I wouldn't pay to see it again.

Before the show, I met my mother-in-law for dinner.  She was nice enough to agree when I suggested the Chick-fil-A!  We don't have a real one in Omaha yet, but there is an "express" in a building near downtown, so it was right on the way!  Of course, I had to pose with the cow and his sign!

Rock and Roll

Wednesday evening, I went with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to see Rock of Ages, which I keep wanting to call Rock of Love.  Not the same thing at all, except for the Poison connection. 

The show was ridiculous!  Very fun, great music, but definitely not appropriate for kids.  I felt bad for the parents who thought it would be a cute show for their 8-year old kids to attend.  Broadway shows are always more scandalous than I expect them to be!  

When I grow up, I want to be a rock star, or a Broadway star or something.  I really think I'd be great at it, other than the lack of musical talent. I should probably just stick with playing Rock Band on the PS3.

Layer it on

I'm so excited to be linking up with Freckles in April for the Winter Challenge.  Today's prompt is LAYERS.  It's winter, so I am pretty much layering every day.  I decided to try something new for today:

Button up shirt under a faux wrap dress!

I realize this isn't as crazy as I think it is.  I got this dress several years ago on clearance at Target for I think $6, and I rarely wear it, because it seems kind of boring.  I guess I just need to layer it with bright colors and then I like it.

I'm even trying the tights/socks/boots combo that is everywhere.  I almost always wear socks with my tights and boots, but today I pulled them up so they can peak out and say hello.  I think I like it.  I should probably get some chunkier knit socks or leg warmers.  I think that would be cuter.

Tomorrow's theme is Monochrome.  I'm still not sure what I'm wearing!
