Everybody, Everywear: Yellow

It rained in the morning, making these strappy flats the perfect shoe for running errands. But when the sun came out and warmed things up, I was dying. I needed me some flip flops!

Aaaaand after dinner Aspen burped and then puked on me (she was REALLY full) so I changed my shirt... Needless to say, this is the only proof you'll have that I wore yellow today for Everybody, Everywear's challenge.

How'd you do?

A mere coincidence

Today is, in fact, the day to wear yellow for Everybody, Everywear. I am not, however, wearing these shoes for my pop of color.



Why is that? Well, because this pair of shoes, dubbed "Picnic Ready" by Shabby Apple, is NINETY-EIGHT DOLLARS. I don't spend that kind of money on shoes. Or even clothes. Or anything, really.

Despite the price, I do love them.

Mellow Yellow

Find something yellow and cheerful for July's Everybody, Everywear challenge! Yellow is the pick, so add it to your outfit on July 12th.

I like this challenge because it gives me a direction for at least ONE outfit a month. And I've virtually met some sweet people via the postings on EBEW's website.

Good luck! Remember, it can be a lot of yellow or a little. Don't feel intimidated. Heck, it could just be some yellow earrings.

There's a bluebird on my shoulder.

The baby's room has a big bush outside the window (in my neighbor's yard) that is home to many sweet little songbirds. I love hearing them in the mornings and I've been thinking of putting some bird-like elements in the nursery/library (which is what we hope the room will eventually become).


I've searched Etsy and I want to use my finds there to direct my thrift store shopping in the future. Kev insists that if I'm looking for vintage, I should go right to the source.


This set of "songbirds" from ArtMind's Etsy shop is so cute. I love the personalities of each bird in the set. Slightly whimsical but not too girly.


The crackle finish almost gives them the look of stone, which I really love. And their spindly little legs are just so cute!

My other favorite find is this yellow sparrow with copper legs. If I really wanted to go all out (we're talking $40+ all out) I'd add this in a heart beat. The baby's room was painted in golden yellow tones (thank Kev) before we even thought about making it a baby's room. This sparrow would be such great highlight of the darker tone in the room. It will also complement the gold leaf art I picked up from DI and plan to put in the room as well.

This sparrow and other ceramic gems can be found at organicermanic's Etsy shop. Stop by and fall in love with sweet trinkets (which are lead-free, food safe and microwave/dishwasher safe).
