Pop of yellow

Ross often makes fun of my love for yellow. I mean, our car is yellow (we call it “banana car”), my engagement ring has a yellow diamond, and I just always feel drawn to the bright, happy hue. My nails are actually yellow right now! My favorite example is the night we had plans to see a show at Geno’s in Portland. I got dressed and Ross told me my outfit was too “yellowy” and that I should wear more black… mean! I guess I looked too sunshiney for a rock show. Sheesh.

Anywho, I wore this decidedly gray and black outfit to grab tacos and margaritas at El Rayo on Friday night. It was looking too dark for me, so I popped a yellow scarf on my head and felt instantly better.

That’s it, I’m starting a campaign. Wear yellow – it makes you happy!

Black jeans: H&M

Speaking of yellow, there are two of these randomĀ  bushes growing in the wooded area along my yard. They’re pretty hidden, this one is under a tree with low-hanging branches. I think they’re super pretty, but have no idea what they are. They don’t have thorns, so I don’t think they’re roses, but other than that I have no idea. Any ideas? I’m considering moving them somewhere where they can be seen better, but I also don’t want to kill them in the process!

Have a yellowy day!

About sweetersalt

Salt = sodium = bad. Sweet = calories = bad. Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No. This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things. But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet. Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking! I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond. It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.
