Daily Threads: Rainbow Bright


Still very cold here, but I tried to beat it best I could today. I threw on my brightest item (which were conveniently  corduroy!), a blanket-sized scarf, and I wore a coat. I was still freezing. The cold won. Again. Score: 0-2.


I played with the pictures today. I used a cross-processing effect on them - hope you don't mind. It's very different from the way I normally edit my photos, but it's fun. And I like it. And I don't look so pale. I look orange. Which, now that I think about it, is a lot worse than pale. I can't win today. 


It's the weekend! Even though Fridays are still (technically) work days, I've always considered Friday the weekend - even when I had classes or clinics. They are easy to get through and then you are free! For a couple days at least! This weekend husband's parents are coming to visit from Savannah and we are super excited to have them! I love having visitors, especially family and close friends - want to stop by? 


P.S. In case you were wondering, I'm pulling for the Steelers. I have Black and Yellow on repeat this weekend.


*Also, check out my "Why I Remix" post over at Kendi's blog!*


Hope you have a happy weekend.

I love bright clothes! But, then again, I think everyone knows that. I love the mix of red and purple, and the photoshop effect is pretty cool too!

Love the pops of color. And the editing is cool. I love trying new things. :) I looove that black and yellow song!! Now you have it going through my head. They play it at our football stadium when the boys are warming up, & they all dance and sing along it's pretty adorable to watch :)

Loved the guest post on Kendi's. I find myself having the same problem with my closet and end up just buying more! I've been slowly trying to do more and more remixing, thanks for the inspiration!

Coco said...

I would never have thought to put tan boots with red pants, but it totally works! Really keeps the tone of the outfit neutral (with the cream jumper especially) as opposed to kids-tv-presenter bright.

Really classy way to do brights, Love it! xxx

At least you LOOK warm! The editing looks nice, definetely not orange.

I will overlook the fact that you are rooting for the Steelers this weekend :shudder: I have a high amount of dislike for that team...

sj said...

I really love those cords! Every time you wear them I wish I had a pair! I used to own some red skinny jeans but I got rid of them--how silly of me! Stay warm and enjoy your weekend, Linley!

mandi c said...

You make color seem so easy! Goodness girl. You always win with color!

Have fun with family! That's all we really need anyway.

You did a great job editing the pictures, I like how it made the colors brighter. This color combo of red and purples must be popular today.

Love the bright red corduroys!!

You rock those red pants! Looks great! I loved your "why I remix" post and can totally relate. This challenge is the best!

I have been experimenting alot with photo editing and I love the cross processing thingy. I am so pale though that my skin looks normal not orange haha.

I loved your explanation of how remixing helps you in your wardrobe! That's definitely been my experience also.

I ALSO love this outfit. The brightness is great ;).

I love your red pants! We're almost a little matchy today actually... anyway, i think the editing you did looks really nice!

ashleyn said...

I really like the editing you've tried. It looks great. I also really love the way you've styled red pants. Such a bold item of clothing that can sometimes be difficult to get just right. But girl, you've got it!

Ife' said...

hehe. me and my husband have a love/hate relationship with that song. it gets stuck in my head for days at a time. smh.

You look adorabe. I am in desperate need of red pants. (I am so dramatic about my fashion, right?)

Laura said...

Love your red pants! So your outfit is awesome but maybe not your taste in football teams :)
