In Anticipation of EBEW

I missed the last EBEW challenge, which was lace.  boo :(.  This time I decided to be proactive and wear the outfit early so that I can link it in time.  In general, I am not  the biggest fan of yellow.  However, I am finding that the sunny disposition color is more needed in my wardrobe, given the increase in frustrating days I'm experiencing.  I find that yellow is indeed a mood enhancing color.  The outfit I'm wearing is old.  The top, skirt, and shoes are minimally 3 years old.  The skirt is actually too big for me. I had put darts in a while ago, but it is still loose.  No matter, it fits well enough to wear in public, the only thing that counts.

The jewelry I'm wearing today is a set I made.  I adore jewelry.  Unfortunately, that adoration only applies to silver, gold, and platinum.  I think this is likely due to the fact that I am allergic to metals that are not one of those three.  Makes for expensive gifts for the hubs to get me :).  Anyway, I started jewelry making as a hobby.  (I thoroughly enjoy hobbies of all kinds.)  With work and life being as hectic as it has been, not to mention my disorganized house, I haven't done much lately.  I thought I would start wearing some of the pieces I like the most.  No point leaving them in the jewelry box to gather dust.  This is one piece where I am pleased with the outcome, so I thought I would share it with all of you.  Let me know what you think.  Once the craft room is done, I can start doing my hobbies again. :)

A Little Bit of Yellow to Brighten the Day - Day 23

Alas, another dreary day.  On a bright note, the temperatures do appear to be climbing a bit.  My work computer has a virus on it that refuses to be erased.  I always forget how dependent we are on the internet and technology on day to day activities, until I don't have it available.  Needless to say I'm not looking forward much to weekend since I am back logged and will have to take work home with me.  Oh, well, it could be worse.  So all this dreary weather of late has inspired me to wear yellow today.  Now, I will be honest, yellow is not one of my favorite colors.  My kitchen was orginally painted yellow, and lets just say I was not a fan.  However, after a string of gloomy days, wearing something bright seems to lift the mood.  The following is what I wore today: The top is from India, the skirt is from Burlington Coat Factory (it is actually made in the USA!  I bought two, the other one is black), the shoes are Coach (from DSW), the belt is thrifted, and I don't remember where I bought the tights.
