A slightly random post for Wednesday and some shoe confessions.

I was going to share a charming (and cheap!) project DIY I have been working on in the evenings this week, but my paint didn't dry quite fast enough last night.

Well, that isn't entirely accurate. The rest of the reason is that I got a little too engrossed in the first part of the American Idol Finale and forgot to put on the last coat of paint until way late. (Are you watching it this season? Who are you pulling for? I'm all about Phil Phllips, while my Rock n' Roll Buddy is cheering for Jessica Sanchez...they're both good, but, truth be told, our hearts both still belong to Colton Dixon.)

So, yeah. We'll blame American Idol for my lack of an exciting post for today.

Oh. Wait. Maybe I do have something I can share that is of interest, at least to some of you.

Did I tell you I got a new pair of shoes?

They're yellow.

And I heart them.

Now, I am not  a yellow shoes-dresses-home-decore person, per-say, but a while back, on Pinterest, I found these shoes.(I can't beleive I forgot to share them with you when I got them!)..
and the next thing I knew, I had ordered them. (At the time I had not a clue what I would wear them with, mind you.)

Turns out yellow is the new tan.

Or neutral.

Whatever.

I wear them all the time. They go great with jeans and a white tee and a black cardigan, or with my charcoal grey sweater.(See how versatile they are? I can't even remember what I wore before these entered my life. Thank God I bought them!)

Okay, so anyway.

Last week a friend from work asked me to run to the mall with her at lunch, and I was happy to oblige her. That's where I found these babies...

Mmmm hmmm. Another pair of yellow shoesies.

Wedge sandals.

(And surprisingly enough, from that same shoe company.)

(I know. Too cute, right?)

I had to have them.

'Coz apparently yellow is my color.

On an entirely different topic (since I didn't get the DIY project done and I am rambling on here...) I am thrilled to provide you with a bit of shameless self-promotion.

Remember my couple of ice cream posts? The ones with the  cute ice cream containers I dolled up from Garnish? (These will be available in my etsy shop soon!)Well, the nice folks at Garnish shared my craftiness on their blog,complete with shout-out links to my blog.

I heart the folks at Garnish too.

I'm out for now, but you'll be seeing my latest DIY project before the week's end, I promise.

Hope you all have a blissfully happy Wednesday, people.
