Childhood trips to the Fla Keys for Lobster Season came to mind when snagging this Sweater.  Aside from its delectable taste, the crustacean also makes for a pretty fun fashion statement.  As the weather continues to warm, don't you just love the idea of the top half paired with a bright Orange Chino Short or maybe a vibrant Red?  Take a look at some other pieces with the clawed critter below--make it a good one, gang!

Potty Mouth

Hells Bells, gang---so I am admittedly guilty of having a PG-13 kinda mouth (we're talking the occassional Da*n It or classic Bast*rd--pretty vanilla curse words if you ask me).  Not so terrible all things considered--but kinda terrible when your 3 year old exclaims, "Da*n It," upon dropping a toy--oops! Hence, a swear jar is being implemented for mom in the Parker household!  

Having explained the above, this Kate Spade Tee spoke to me, no pun intended.  Given my mood, I chose an extremely laid back route with no bells or whistles, but that's not to say we can't spruce her up.  Loving the idea of a black blazer & heels. Definitely thinking of picking up THESE Current/Elliot printed jeans and topping them with this Tee, a Blazer, and Killer Stilettos. She would also look cute topped with a Denim Jacket.  Check out some complements to the tee below.  Make it a good one!
