| We Fucking LOVE Colors |
"Hello?"See Me. Bee Me. Maybe I've been lingering over the pages of Desiree's blog too much- but when I got my new vertical striped socks from We Love Colors, all I could think of was how I needed to show them off. My dress was a bit short, so I pulled on some striped shorts underneath, ya know, for modesty, and then I thought: What Would Desiree Do? WTF, WWDD?
"Yeah hi, the 1990s called. They want their socks back."

| Bee-lightful: Yellow Jacket and Vertical Pins Gives My Style Some Sting. |
I think Darling Desiree wouldn't bother to hide these adorable striped shorties. So, I didn't either. In fact, I hiked up my dress, making a mullet hem, and displayed in full glory, my shorts, my stems and my socks.
I realize that this outfit isn't something most women over the age of forty would want to wear, but let me tell you, that I felt so sassy wearing it- and very visible. I absolutely love this vintage yellow abstract print jacket- everything about it is great, the unique print on the bark cloth-like fabric, the way its cut- I think it's from the 1960s, but I'm really not sure. All I know is that it's makes me feel as bright as a bumble bee, and I had a lot of fun wearing it.

I'm also loving that jacket, and I'm not fond of yellow. It's the print.

You look absolutely fantastic Bella, all you ladies here are really making me rethink what's suitable when you're over forty. I'm never going to be the world's most adventurous person when it comes to style, but I'm becoming a bit braver about wearing what I really like rather than what is expected. It's not just your clothes, it's your energy and enthusiasm that are inspiring too. xx
Cool outfit - the jacket is fantastic. WWDD - love this too.
That jacket is fantastic, what a print! You definitely did the right thing in exposing those gorgeous shorts! They look great! Xxxx

What Lola Wants
That jacket is insanely awesome!
Fabulous coat, even better socks!
The striped socks are everything. I love my old over the knee socks, but they keep rolling down now because my legs are too big for them. I love how you look here---- I <3 the 90s. The tall boots are so perfect, love the glasses, the jacket...
Becky :)
Okay, must resist...must...resist...can't...
You're the bees knees, buzzy Bella! ;-)

The comments are as great as the post! I'm fresh out of bee references now though. Thanks for inspiring me once again to step OUT of my comfort zone. I can never quite make it happen, but ONE OF THESE DAYS I'm going to shock everyone, I swear.
BEEutiful as always,
xo,
Alyssa
Amazing sox and attitude. I adore you. The boots are killer too. Please ask the Colors people for brown fishnet thigh highs in plenty of sizes. It's a hole in the market that someone should fill.
LOVE those fab over the knee socks - I KNEED some (ha! sock humour!!)
You are gorgeous, as always, Bella - and who CARES what anyone of any age would or wouldn't wear - wear it, rock it, LOVE IT!

How did I miss this! You totally rock the outfit, Bella, sex on legs and such ATTITUDE! So love those socks!
Been thinking of bees all week! Like them, you're a precious life-form without which we would not survive! How's that for hyperbole! Certainly, we'd be diminished if you weren't showing us how it's done! You look GREAT! Wonderful gams, kid.
I finally figure out that my link wouldn't keep up if I didn't post what I posted. So I did. I've been posting all along, so if you get bored, go back and look at the pics.
Have a great week in my favorite city ... big hugs to youse!
