Melancholy

Just like most of you I'm sure, this past weekend had taken on a melancholy tone because of the tragedy that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT.  You know, sometimes tragedies happen in other parts of the country and I'm able to continue on like "business as usual", because it doesn't exactly seem real.  It's like watching another television show.  But then other times, something big happens and it stops me in my tracks, actually hits home or affects me emotionally in some way.  This was definitely one of the latter.  I mean, think about the weather here in Georgia (and other parts of the eastern U.S.) the past 2 days.  It's like the Earth is even mourning those little children (and adults) who lost their lives. It has been nothing but gray skies and nonstop rain.  Touché, Mother Earth.  Touché.

Anyway, I guess this is kind of an outfit post.  Me and hubs were able to be child-free for a few ours on Saturday, so I decided to try to perk up my somber mood with some color.  Who doesn't love pink?  I'm talking a whole lotta' pink.  I really didn't have any intention of making this ensemble into an outfit post, so the pics are somewhat half-assed.

Coat - Nordstrom // Studded Top & Necklace- F21 // Pants - H&M // Booties - Nine West

I have to say, the pink DID actually help my mood some.  How could it not? haha  

Happy Monday, ya'll.
