High Five for Friday


shirt: target  shorts: ?  shoes: tjmaxx

1. I've had these shorts for a really long time, but they used to be at least 10 inches longer.
really long shorts and really short legs = really unflattering
I almost got rid of them but decided to just cut them off instead.
I'm pretty happy about my new pair of shorts!


2. Ever since I made my neon shirt I've wanted more neon. 
I got this shirt for $8 at Target last week and love it. 
So much I wore it again this week.


3. I'm super happy about my new nail polish color.  I want jeans this color, but a $2 bottle of nail polish is much cheaper so it will have to do for now. 



I only wish these were my nails.  Mine more resemble the doing of a seven year,
which is why I rarely do them.  

4.  I made this orzo pasta salad a week or so ago and loved it. 
Somehow cooking with orzo makes me feel fancy. 



5.  Chris and I just finished watching the first season of 24 and are ready for season 2.  
I love having a good show to watch episode after episode together.  

Hope you have a great weekend!

    I just finished 24! I loved it! So good :)

    I love that nail color too. I believe Target has pants that color. I saw it there not too long ago.

    Love your neon top and your sandals!

    Have a great night!

    Loving all the neon! Katie is too. Baylor had neon shirts for basketball season this year. Love the mint nail color as well. Need to get my nails redone tomorrow. Might have to go with a similar color!!

    I love that mint nail polish. It's a more subtle mint than the color I found. I actually found a pair of mint jeans after searching for months...and then I ruined them in the wash.

    I wasn't feeling the neon thing when it started up in February (because all bathing suits must be put in the stores in February, right?), but now I'm loving it. I was thinking that I need some neon nail polish today.

    Ok, I love all of your 5 things today! I've been craving some neon lately, but am concerned that maybe I'm too old. Is there an age limit? And, I feel fancy when I cook with orzo too. Or quinoa. Love you sister!

    I love the brightly colored and pastel colored jeans that are so "in" this season. I knew I had to get at least one colorful pair while they were "in style" so I can wear them for many seasons to come...but jeans are expensive. I did manage to find a turquoise pair at Aeropostale on clearance for $10! Hurray!

    I love that neon yellow too! you know you made a good purchase decision when you want to wear it every week!

    also, that orzo looks incredible. I wish I was at home this weekend to make it - I'm going up to VA to see the fam. Not complaining though! I will still be eating good food I just won't have to cook it.

    Have a great weekend Katie! oh wait, every day is a weekend for you now ;)

    I have that same mint polish and I LOVE it! (so much that I probably need a new bottle soon). I love how you paired the neon top with the grey skirt so the neon is still subtle :) Have a great weekend, Katie!

    I have some long shorts that I should cut off too! Thanks for the idea~ I love that nail polish color also, I painted my nails a deep blue this week (a new color)..and although I liked it...my nails were stained a bit even after taking it off! You look cute in the pics as always~

    Igreat idea for the shorts...I tend to have the same problem. And I agree...there is nothing better than having an entire season of a show to watch when you want. Love it.
