I think I own all of the OPI 2011 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides nail polishes. There was a great sale going on at Ulta during that time, and I was one of the first people there that Sunday (right after we finished Mother’s Day lunch) to pick up a few when it was first released. This was back in the day (lols, only last year) when crackle was all “oh-la-la,” and I just *had* to have that silver crackle… not that I’ve used it much. So I purchased the collection and did not wear much of it. They are great colors too, perfect for spring, and while I knew this, there were always other new polishes to try out, ones that were not so subdued. I love me some brights. This NOTD does not match anything I own and I would have felt better wearing it in the winter. The color was hot hot hot last year, and I love that companies have embraced the awkward shades, but in reality, I can’t match many outfits to it. The day I wore this was a rainy day, and couple that with the fact that I disliked my first outfit, I changed during my lunch break.

I love how my cat just happens to be in all the pictures.

When I first started sewing back in 2006 (not that I have much since then!), I made a dress out of this awesome clearance material from JoAnn’s- lightweight, beautiful colors, perfect for summer. I no longer have the dress, but I did make an infinity scarf back then out of scrap material. That scarf is one of my favorite wardrobe pieces ever. I will wear it in every season, and even though it’s sweltering Florida temps now, I just had to wear it again when I rediscovered it a few days ago. I must find more fabric like this in the future, I would wear a million different versions of this scarf!

I have to admit though… It did get a bit warm at work.
