     Happy Monday lovelies! I hope that everyone had a relaxing and fun weekend. Even though I worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday, my weekend was still okay! On Sunday afternoon, I actually had a customer come in who I remembered from last year- she had come into the store a few times last year to buy jewelry and we had actually chatted about make-up brands after she complimented me on how I did my make-up! So it was fun to get to see her again this weekend. I also got to make a sale completely in French for a Canadian family which was fun, and proved to me that my recent study abroad trip to France wasn't a waste (despite all the difficulties!). 

     Anyways, onto the outfit! Today (Monday) is now my 6th day in a row of work. The store that I work in has somewhat of a dress code- employees can't wear blue jeans, shorts, or anything too casual. I typically wear sundresses to work almost everyday, but for weeks when I work lots of days in a row, sometimes I need to mix it up from dresses a little bit! So this was a colored skinny jeans outfit that I put together for work this past weekend. It features some of my favorite summer colors, some fun jewelry to dress it up, and is cute and casual while still being appropriate for my work environment! All of these items (yes, all!) have been featured on my blog in past posts before, but I've never worn all of these things together before. I love playing around in my closet on mornings before work and coming up with completely new outfit options out of pieces that I already had! 

     I love pairing bright colors together in the warmer months! This mint and hot pink accent combo is a new favorite of mine. It reminds me a lot of cotton candy- which is why I titled this post that!! I feel like I would also wear this outfit to a summer fair or festival... anywhere that I could get my hands on some cotton candy to match my clothes! (Fun fact: I don't even like cotton candy. But I think I would to eat it while wearing this outfit! :-) )

     With this outfit I also tried the ever popular "blogger half-tuck" with my shirt... tucked in the front, loose in the back. Y'all know what I mean, right? So many bloggers do this in their blog photos and on Instagram, haha! I've always thought that it looks cute when pulled off the right way so I thought that I'd give it a try. My dad thought that it looked totally weird, but I liked it enough to try it again sometime with the right type of shirt and bottoms. What are your thoughts on the half-tucked shirt?
