Inspired by...Tulips!

Today we had a photo shoot for our condo since we are putting it on the market (again). The realtors suggested I pick up a colorful floral arrangement for the shoot to add some color to our rather neutral living room.

An excuse to go out and get fresh flowers?? Yeah...I think I can do that!

I ran down the street and was overwhelmed by the beautiful flowers at the local flower shop. I was deciding between some AMAZING stargazer lilies and a beautiful bamboo/white lily combo (not enough color) and was suddenly struck by the beauty of this arrangement of orange tulips. I had to have them and a few dollars later, they were mine!

Simple and gorgeous, right??

After the hustle and bustle of the photo shoot, I was so inspired by the colors of my new tulips that I based tonight's outfit on them; mixing neutrals with bright orange and greens. I know I did orange yesterday but what can I say; I guess I am on an orange kick!

We're heading out to happy hour at the local bar down the street and I promise to buy anyone a drink who tells me my outfit reminds them of orange tulips. My guess is my wallet is pretty safe!
