What I'm Wearing | Pink + White + Blue

Yesterday, it was a bit breezy but nice enough to be outside sans coat.
I had a lot of errands to run so I wanted to be cool and comfortable.
Am I the only one that notices how high the temperature is set in department stores?!  That's truly not conducive to me shopping.  It makes me want to get what I need and get out as quickly as possible.  Maybe if it were more comfortable and I didn't feel like I was melting, I'd probably browse a lot longer.  You hear that retailers:  cool it off!

Great look. I notice that JoAnns, Michaels and Hobby Lobby are usually so hot I have to take my coat off if I'm going to be there for any length of time. It seems like there is not air circulation. So, no, it's not just you!

Okay I think it's just mean of you to rub in the fact that you are having moderately warm temps and we are back to freezing on the East Coast...just wrong! *LOL* Seriously tho' nice outfit and send some of those warm breezes my way!

Lynneb said...

Dang, girlfriend....you mean they keep those stores warm? I thought I was having hotflashes! Question about the pants (I have made both the tunic and pants, btw) : I am having the hardest time finding fabric for pants that doesn't bag out after the drive to the store. I have made those same vogue pants in bull denim and not sure I like it. Thoughts on pants, Erica?

Erica B. said...

Carolyn, that was yesterday! It's 47 degrees today! Coat weather for us!

Erica B. said...

Nope LynneB, not just you! I've made 2 pairs of pants with the bull denim and I haven't had any problems.

Erica B. said...

KMQ, I thought I was starting my own personal summers! But they just have it hot in there! Thanks!

Erica B. said...

Thanks gg!

Sheila said...

Nice outfit. My pet peeve is not only the store beeing too warm, but sometimes the music is deafening. I was in the Loft, my usual foray when I get into the city early and in the midst of asking the sales clerk a question, realized I couldn't here myself, which made for a quick exit.

Denise said...

I'm loving these brights you're wearing. You're inspiring me to make some for myself!

Erica B. said...

Sheila, I've had that problem too with the music. It's usually in teeny bopper stores that my girls like to shop in. I wait out in the mall and play on my Android phone! Thanks!

Erica B. said...

Denise, I felt the need to participate with the color party. I was in J.Crew yesterday and EVERYTHING in there was color blocked! Thanks!

joen said...

OMG I'm loving the pink ciggies! I think I'll have to make myself a pair of those - going on a cruise in April and I'm thinking they would be fabulous for a dinner outfit! Thanks for the inspiration!

Erica B. said...

Thanks Joen! And enjoy the cruise!

Rebecca said...

I love this outfit! So cute! I hear you about the department stores. I passed out in JcPenney one day it was so hot. I just wanted to buy some bath towels, lol. That will get their attention real quick though. :]

Erica B. said...

My goodness Rebecca! I don't want to pass out! I keep a bottle of water with me. Thanks!

We are yet to emerge from winter here (Japan)...

Thanks Jules!

You have taken nicely to wearing color- rock it! Can't tell the last time I shopped in a department store- the loud music, clothes packed into every square inch and the heat - not good.

Erica B. said...

SilkyWrapsRoxy, shopping in dept. stores remind me why I prefer online shopping! Thanks!

Sewtellme said...

OMG, photo #3 is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I give, I will be adding brightly colored pants to my 2012 list of must haves.
