I mentioned before that I'm not usually the type to dress up for holidays, but as I was planning my outfit for the day, I thought, why not wear my pink scarf for Valentine's day? If I was going to wear pink, I might as well throw in my pink belt and paint my nails pink too. I liked that it wasn't too "hey look at me, I'm dressing up today!" but still a nice little acknowledgement of the holiday.
And you like my Angry Bird tattoo? My son loves temporary tattoos and is always forcing me to give him my arm so he can put a tattoo on me. Then I totally forget about them and I go about my day with Cars and Angry Birds all over my arms and hands. Every time I catch a glimpse of my hand I can't help but smile, so I haven't really felt the need to wash it off.
Ok, complaint time for Instagram on valentine's day. I don't mind seeing pictures of sappy love notes or girls showing off how wonderful their boyfriends/husbands are with fancy dinners, bouquets of flowers and expensive presents. The thing I'm totally confused about is the pictures of couples kissing, and not the ones where one person is holding the phone out at arm's length. Since this is Instagram I'm talking about, most likely they took the picture with their phone, but HOW? Do they set up a timer app and get into position, "now let's kiss for the camera when the timer counts down to zero!" Or do they ask a friend, "hey here is my phone, can you snap a photo of the two of us making out?" I mean, how awkward is it for the friend unless it's a wedding photographer, right?
Day 3 of the Take One, Pass It On!
Kimmie, this is such a cute outfit! And, I totally want to do the TOPIO! It would be nearly impossible for me to do a 30x30 challenge, but this challenge sounds fun!! =]
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I like the polka dots and the pink scarf. :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny about the temp tattoos! haha..

my Valentine's Day pet peeve is when people go out of their way to complain about how much they hate Valentine's Day and how it's SOOO commercialized. Like, yeah, we get it. Just because you don't celebrate it doesn't make you some martyr for the cause, and being an a-hole about it DEFINITELY doesn't. Relax and eat some chocolate. Ugh. Drives me insane.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink with pink with pink, very sweet! And awww about the temporary tattoos from your son! I was about to ask if that was a tat on your hand! And I don't need to see PDAs in real life or on Instagram, thank you very much. Who are YOUR friends, hahhaa!
ReplyDeleteI love this pink and polka dot outfit! You look great! I blame Fran 100% for my desire to own polka dots, but nothing has looked so good on me yet. Also, my husband and I always take kissy photos, but we do it with the arm extended out and then I just crop his arm out, except for my favorite photo taken during our honeymoon with a timer. I think it would be weird to ask someone to take our photo while we are making out.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so much better at the TOPIO than I am because you are actually taking your clothes and moving them, so far, I've only done accessories like a scarf or a bracelet...I have to get my thinking cap on...
I love this outfit! I seriously might take some inspiration from it and do something similar(but not the same, not in a creepy way or anything :-0.). I just bought a polka dot sweater from target yesterday and I have a pink/grey scarf my mom knitted me.....brain cells are working(do you smell the smoke??)
ReplyDeleteYES! those people annoy me too, but surprisingly this year I didn't see any, which either means that none of my friends are complaining, or that I've hidden all the annoying people from my feed already :)
ReplyDeleteOooooh, Kimmie! That shade of pink really looks wonderful on you. You glow! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't really 'get' kissing photos. :) I think the only one we have is from the wedding (not the actual kiss but one just for a photo) and you can totally tell we are both cracking up. It's pretty funny.
And my little guy went through a phase a few months ago where he had to have a temp tattoo on at all times! As soon as it started coming off we had to do another one. :) However he never really had any desire to put one on me. :)
HAHA I KNOW. I guess I'm just following some weirdos ;)
ReplyDeleteahhh! ok before the pictures completely loaded I was like "I LOVE THIS OUTFIT." no joke. Everything just goes together so well!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes. Couples kissing photos weird me out to begin with, but what you are describing really creeps me out. I can't say that I've seen any of those... thankfully. I was totally guilty of posting pictures of my sweet notes, etc that the boy got me! haha.
OMG HOW DARE YOU COPY ME!! lol, just kidding ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd Target has polka dot sweaters? DANGEROUS. I shall resist the temptation to go check them out.
i am in loooove with this polka dot shirt... and a little jealous that no one offers to put temporary tattoos on my hands. haha!
ReplyDeletei could not help but laugh at your IG vent. it's times like these that i am grateful that my phone does't have instagram. there were already too many posts of people kissing on facebook news feed...
A bracelet!?? That's totally cheating!! haha, j/k ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't really mind kissing pictures when someone is extending their arm out to take the photo, it's just so weird that someone would go through the effort of setting up a timer or asking a friend to take a picture for the sole purpose of posting it on Instagram for all their friends to see.
Thanks, Sheila!! :) Hope you guys had a good valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteUm your pictures were totally cute. was that a scavenger hunt? Your boyfriend did well :)
ReplyDeleteI get kissing pictures even though I'm not a fan, but I don't get the kissing pictures taken for the sole purpose of posting on social media. Things like that need to be in private albums, not broadcast for all your friends and acquaintances to see!
Thanks, CC! We only have a couple kissing photos from our wedding, but they're pretty awkward, haha! And temporary tattoos, oh man, we have so many.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great look Kimmie! I am huge fan of polka dots & it looks great with the pink scarf...it adds a bit of femininity without being too girly.

haha yes, he is big into the scavenger hunts. It's really adorable.
ReplyDeleteAwkward instagram! I feel the same way about moms who take photos next to their sleeping kids and the mom's eyes are closed. I'm just like "You're obviously holding the phone out to take the picture, so why are you pretending to be asleep?" its so awkward.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm pretty sure my husband would laugh at me if I ever suggested that we pose for a kissing photo so I could post it on facebook/instagram.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alice!
ReplyDeletei love this outfit--the pale pink & gray are so pretty together! you have reminded me that i need to be on the look out for a gray blazer in a similiar shade.
ReplyDeleteand your inquiry about kissing photos made me laugh, i've always wondered how people end up getting those shots too when they're clearly set up. what i wonder is what guy would go along with that...
Ah yes! those fake sleeping pictures are so weird because OBVIOUSLY they are just pretending to be asleep. So They always remind me of this picture that was floating around the internet awhile ago: http://i.imgur.com/Dw1VO.jpg haha!
ReplyDeleteKimmmmmmie. You look so pretty! I love the polka dot/scarf combination, your hair is all shiny, your legs are all skinny. #jellyhater #butnot #thisisnttwitter
ReplyDeleteHuh? shiny hair? It looks kind of straw like to me. BUT THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT ANYWAY. I'm sorry my legs make you jellus, I'll try to fatten them up as to avoid any ill feelings from you.
ReplyDeleteSo many things.
ReplyDelete1. Loving your pink scarf. I've been looking for a light pink scarf like this for AGES and can't find any that fit the bill.
2. Polka dot shirt? YES. Love it.
3. Laughing so hard about the pictures of people kissing thing...Kevin and I had some of the obligatory kissing shots for our wedding, and we were both trying so hard not to laugh in them. It's so awkward to spontaneously kiss in front of people you don't know well, but then to "hold the pose" for a photo? Hahahaha, I can't even.
