Show Me Your Smile: Costco Shorts, A Graphic Tee & Cupcakes


Hey friends! It's morning and I'm sitting in a hotel lobby at continental breakfast time. We're on our family vacation, but it's much more than that. My eyes are puffy and my face has that swollen look of a fitful sleep. Conversations ebb and flow around me and I'm mildly self-conscious of the large size pictures of myself glaring from computer screen when folks pass by. Ah well, welcome to the world of blogging, right?


Moving on...As I mentioned, this trip is much more than a simple family vacation, which I'll expound on soon, but for now let's talk some Taylor Swift and this outfit.


"You've got a smile that can light up this whole town." 
~You Belong With Me


If you've been following along with my graphic tee adventures, then you know a friend of mine gives me two tees, one to keep and one to give away.  I gave this one away before I had a chance to share it on the blog, so I'm playing a little catch up! ;) If you missed who received this tee, check out my post HERE.

But one cannot wear a graphic tee alone, can they? Well, at least not outside. ;) So this graphic tee met Bermuda shorts from Costco at $14.99, and a style match was made! By the way, these denim shorts are stretchy, making them more comfortable than most of my denim shorts! Once the staples were complete, I added the fun kimono, my nude, thrifted sandals and some neutral accessories! When it became too hot for the kimono, I still felt like I had a winner of an outfit.


As for the graphic tee inspiration, Jennifer said it was Taylor's song, because she wanted everyone to know that they have a smile that can light up the whole town and I whole heartedly agree! Wink. Wink. (See more of Jennifer's designs HERE.)

I love seeing smiles that come from the inside out; a smile that captures a true happy moment; a smile that lights up the whole face and makes the eyes shine. And what a blessing it is, if I get to play a small roll in that smile!

Outfit Breakdown:
Floral Kimono: LulaRoe
Shorts: Calvin Klein at COSTCO
Shoes: Thrifted

Perhaps that's what I've loved about my cupcake adventures. Surprising someone with a sweet treat brings an instant smile to their faces and I selfishly anticipate it.  Whether it's from the beautiful server at Chili's on date night, the compelling smile of the young woman who works at Aldi, or from a sweet friend or family member, I love those smiles.

And Now I'll share some with you...

  1. Chrissy! I love that you have spread so much kindness and joy with your Splatcakes. Also totally love your tee and shorts. I have got to get a kimono...I'm sooooo late to that party. OH and don't you just feel like a huge narcissist sometimes with all the pics of yourself? I was showing a friend who totally doesn't get the whole blogging thing some pics on my phone a while back (not of me, but there were so many of me on there🤪😂). I commented to her that I'm a not a narcissist, but if someone got a hold of my phone they'd think I was....I think she almost did...LOL Enjoy your vacation!!! XOXO

  11. In addition, graphic designers need to know how to ask the right questions to get a sense of what the company does and who their target audience is. reklamos paslaugos

  13. Be that as it may, it takes an exceptional frame when it is conveyed to the work with every one of its issues. It originates from two principle sources: Insufficiency of the understudy, and the growing hole between what he has realized and the market requests.sun Clipart

  14. In order to get this accomplished, a graphic designer will need to know how to interact with technical personnel like the finance department or research and development department to convey the message effectively.graphic design service
