A Chipper, Cheery Love... Jelly Shoes?

Have I confessed my love of jelly yet? Not actually jelly (which I'm completely opposed to, btw), but jelly shoes and such? It doesn't even have to be an actual jelly shoe. Even if it's just slightly translucent or just plain bright, I love jelly shoes. So for today's IMOS post, I have a "jelly shoe" (yes, that's a technical term).

It's not a jelly shoe, but it comes pretty close. Like, when-I-first-saw-them-I-thought-they-were-jelly-shoes close. Maybe it's the color... Maybe I'm delusional (it's been pretty warm until, like, today, when it was 40˚. I miss spring!)... but I need a little pick-me-up-spring-is-almost-here outfit. 

A bright shoe requires an equally bright top. Thank you, AE for $10 tank tops.

Actually, I couldn't find it on the website. I saw this picture and knew what I was going for, but I couldn't find this exact tank for sale. I know it's from AE though. :(  This is the tank I wanted to use, but it won't work, so... an alternative. 

Eh, looks cheap (it is), and I'm not loving the color with the inspiration shoes. 

Better, but it's a solid color. I NEED A PATTERN. Deep breaths... deep breaths...

We're getting there. I'm loving the colors and stripes. I wish it was a tank top, but hey, you win some, you lose some.

Interesting. I like it. It's not exactly the angle I was going for, but I like it. The colors are vibrant and spring-y. Intriguing.

Well, I have no choice. I'm changing the shoes (*collective gasp*). Plot change! 

Ooooh! Aaaaah! They're the exact same shoes... but in a different color palette! 

Now for shorts... it was going to be jeans bright shade of watermelon, cobalt, or any color that requires sunglasses, but we'll see how it turns out!

Wow. I love it! With the shoes... not the shirt. It's okay with the shirt/shorts combo... but I'm not sold. It may be extremely casual, but it still needs a little surprise! Who knew flip flops and a t-shirt took so much thought?

Pink? 

I never thought I'd say this, but I think turquoise, tribal-printed short shorts are definitely freezin' my popsicle! Don't get me wrong, I've always loved these shorts, but I never thought my original jelly shoes would somehow get mixed in with them! I'm pleasantly surprised.

Wow. This post has definitely taken a path of it's own! Of course, I wouldn't wrap up a post without my full approval. I approve. And love. Some of these IMOS outfits I would wear. Some (*yesterdaycoughcoughyesterday*) are more like an enjoy-from-the-sidelines looks. This is totes my casual look: A little bright (maybe neon), comfort (jelly shoes!), a surprise twist (THE shorts), and of course, I'm forgetting something... 

ACCESSORIES!

Hello, my loves!

Worn with irony... 

And bicycle earrings... because I can :)

Much better! Maybe throw in a few more necklaces, and big bow in your hair, and a pitcher of lemonade... ahhhh summer... :)

*apologies for the very hard-to-follow post! I'm a little rusty!

**double apologies for the very AE-heavy post. What can I say? I'm captivated by color!
