Well, to be honest, the day didn’t start out with sunshine.

It was actually storming. But I was not giving up my vision for this outfit.

My blogging buddy Reagan and I were heading out to a thrifting market.

We waited out the storm having brunch at 220C Banh Mi & Coffee

It’s so cute inside we decided on an impromptu photo shoot.

I was originally going a different direction with this fuchsia floral summer dress from Walmart.

But I remembered this yellow belt I’ve had for awhile and thought of pairing it with the dress and adding my yellow Chloe bag.

I tied a scarf from Chaan Lu in deeper tones of plumb onto my yellow bag and was impressed by the way it made the bag pop!

I love the contrast with the colors.

I summoned the sun with my fun leopard print sunglasses from Dolce & Gabbana.

I picked up this mint green denim jacket with my Queen, Dolly Parton, on back and it also goes well with the dress.

I found a mural of a butterfly. That’s Dolly’s symbol and also a remainder of my dear daddy.

I’m a sucker for murals, so of course I had to take a picture with this wall.

Fun fact: Daisys are one of my favorite flowers.

So even though the day started out dreary, I didn’t give up.

It’s hard for a redhead to wear yellow.

Using accents of yellow is a way for me to pay homage to my late father.

I’m writing this blog on his birthday and I miss him terribly. Yellow was his favorite color.

So I got to look fabulous, feel good and remember my daddy at the same time.
