The thing I love about Princess Sparkles is she loves to create things.  Take for example this delicious carbonara pasta my stepdad, Henley, made all of us for lunch.  Princess Sparkles decided she could squirt some of her apple juice into it and make it even "tastier."  I look over and I see her pasta (and a couple cheetos from earlier) swimming in a pool of juice.  It looks disgusting!  But Sparkles is thrilled with her creation, even asking me to try it (I thank her for the offer and decline the dripping fork full of pasta).

Yesterday Princess Sparkles cracked me up when she came in wearing a bunting suit that was way too small with nothing underneath.  She said that she wanted to wear it to church.  I actually didn't mind, except I knew she would get hot.  But I made her put on some other clothes first, just in case, then somehow she was eager to change when I said she could wear her raincoat. 

I decided I would try and mix up my clothes a bit by playing with colors.  I actually bought these two pieces at the same time from Forever 21 when they were on sale!  I love putting blue and purple together (and actually got the idea from the skirt, since it's waist band is actually the same color as the jacket so I figured it must match!).  I'm not great at color blocking/mixing, but it is fun to try to put things together.

I'm half way through my remix.  Yay!  But it's starting to get harder in a lot of ways because, well, I start to feel like I'm wearing the same pieces day after day and I worry that I might wear the same things two days in a row :)  Not that it's that big of a deal, but, you know, I'm trying to mix it up.  Kind of like eating carbonara pasta with apple juice (though hopefully, a little less weird than that!).
