necklace - boutique in Montmartre, Paris / tank - Anthropologie / dress - UO / sandals - Target, thrifted

As simple as this is - a dress, sandals, and a necklace - I think it might be my favorite thing I've worn yet on the blog. I've paired pink and yellow here once before, and I've been so enamored with the combination that it seems to permeate everything I do. It worked its way into my recent blog redesign, my Pinterest is just full of pink and yellow, and my "to try on" pile while thrifting this weekend was so overwhelmingly dominated by these hues that my mom declared them my signature colors. Given how very cheery (and, dare I say it, 'me') I felt wearing this, I'd say she's on to something.

This dress has been a favorite of mine for a few years now, but I've recently been considering refashioning it into a skirt. I love the draped tulip shape, but the neckline has gotten substantially lower over time, and I'm not convinced the somewhat loose empire waist really does my figure any favors. Chris thinks I should leave it alone ("You already have so many skirts!"), but I think it might be more versatile and flattering with a little restyling - what do you guys think?
