I am seriously obsessed with the combination of coral and teal or coral and mint. I just think it is fun, vibrant and works really well together. Anytime I mix and match colors at the office, I always want to ensure it is minimal so I don’t freak my co-workers out. Well, I’m pretty sure I freaked them out anyway. Oh well! At least I was having fun, being productive and feeling good about life. Also, how CUTE is this starfish bracelet from InPink? I absolutely love it! It is definitely going to be my go-to accessory this summer and anytime I’m wearing bright colors, stripes or anything nautical-inspired, you better believe this bracelet will be a part of my arm party.
Now for Blog Every Day in May, my most embarrassing moments. Trust me, I have A TON of them. I mean my middle name should just be embarrassment. But the most memorable ones deal with tripping. Apparently my last name in German means “clumsy”… I have no idea if this is true, but I’ll take it because my family is very clumsy! So in high school I had a huge crush on my best friend’s older brother (huge no-no, right? meh, he was beautiful!) and while passing him leaving the lunchroom, he was coming down the stairs and I was going up. I started to say hello as I completely wiped out and tripped going UP the stairs. SO embarrassing. Next tripping embarrassment: I was in my senior year of college, and although this might have involved a couple, a few, maybe more beers, I fell down a bar’s stairs in front of a completely full bar. It was one of those moments where everyone goes “OHHHHH” (you know like when someone drops their tray in the lunchroom) and then I stood back up and said “HEYYYYY I’m okay!”… and proceeded to eat two hot dogs. Hey they were always free at this bar and I thought it would help with the whole falling down thing. Classy, I know. Happy Friday everyone!

May 10, 2013 at 7:58 AMThis dress is so pretty on you – look at your tiny waist! I think this dress is such a keeper. Plus with your lighter hair it just looks like summer time 🙂

May 10, 2013 at 9:01 AMThis dress sure does wonders for my waist 😉 I love it. It was something I was drawn to at this vintage store, tried it on, fit me perfectly! I hope I can have it in my closet for a long time. I’m always still in awe of how WELL MADE things were back in the day. The fabric is amazing! And I’m loving the coral with my lighter hair!

May 10, 2013 at 8:34 AMhaha! I usually don’t trip, but I always say embarrassing things. But when you’re cute and innocent-looking you can usually get away with it! I love coral, especially with turquoise just like you mentioned!

May 10, 2013 at 8:46 AMLOL, I think a lot of people’s most embarrassing stories involve alcohol somehow!
I adore this dress! Coral and teal are two colors I would really like to pair together too!
Rachel
May 10, 2013 at 9:07 AMThis is TOO true. I’m sure most of my embarrassing moments aside from tripping involve this, but sometimes I just can’t remember. I also have really awkward encounters with people sometimes when I say something stupid, but I can’t ever remember this!

May 10, 2013 at 9:47 AMThe dress looks so cute with that darling bow belt! Ugh I hate tripping in front of people…always so embarrassing. I slipped on something on the way out of the grocery store not that long ago and totally bit it. Everyone was asking if I was okay and I just wanted to get outta there!

May 10, 2013 at 10:36 PMThose heels!!! That dress!!! I love it all! Send it to me now? Thanks 🙂 Haha, but seriously. I just stumbled upon your blog, and I have to say, you have an amazing sense of style! Your story makes me laugh, I can’t say that I ever have done that, but I have tripped so many times in front of my students. I just try to ride it off like nothing happened. (That rarely works.)
