Time for this week's Friday Love-It Notes!
1. Chalk board walls. This was our first completed DIY project. We made a chalkboard wall frame in our kitchen and now my husband and I just leave funny messages for each other on it. He even wrote a dinner list for the week... which included things like popcorn and popsicles.
2. Nice neighbors. During one of the recent rainstorms, one of our giant tree branches fell in our backyard. Of course we were too lazy to remove it right away. The other day we noticed that not only had our neighbor removed the branch, he chopped it up into firewood and neatly laid it out in our yard. I mean seriously, how sweet was that?
3. Finding money when doing laundry. My husband always forgets to empty his pockets before throwing clothes in the laundry. His mistake is my gain. I always find money in his pockets and of course, I keep it for myself. Coffee money for the week! What's his is mine anyway... and what's mine is mine. Welcome to marriage kids!
Have a fabulous weekend!

Chalkboard wall notes, that sounds so sweet :) I never liked mustard colors before too, until I tried on a blouse. Love it now. It looks good on you!
Have a great weekend!
I'm glad you warmed up to the color mustard because it's my favorite and it looks so great on you! :) Have a nice weekend.
So I haven't warmed up to the color because it makes me look like a overcooked hot dog, but I like seeing it on other people. I thInk dark hair chicks fair better with it. Happy Weekend!!
I love this mustard jumper with the killer heels! You look fab!

I would love to do a chalkboard wall, don't know how my guy would feel about that...
I think mustard looks great on you! Hope you decide to wear it more! It's one of my favs!
I think you look great in mustard! I really love it with the turquoise necklace. I think it's one of those colors that looks like it won't be flattering at all but really is - definitely a repeat color for you!
The chalkboard wall is such a cute idea! It's the best when you find free money, score! Have a great weekend, Yi-chia.

You wear the color well Yi-chia! Mustard is one of my favorite colors so I'm glad you're giving it another shot. I totally agree with #2 (glad no damage was done when the branch fell)...John and I have been walking Bally daily and we've met so many nice people just by walking her around. Our one neighbor also moves our trash can for us sometimes, it's nice gestures like that that remind me there are still so many kind people in the world.

Love all your notes and I absolutely agree on #3!! Have a great weekend!

I agree with the finding money in the laundry. One of the best surprises ever! One time I found a $50 in my jeans! (I dont even remember even having a $50!)
Love the mustard. It definitely is a great warm winter color.

You're too cute!! I love the "What's his is mine anyway... and what's mine is mine." That's food logic when it comes to my boyfriend and drives me crazy, because I HATE sharing food. Money is different than food though! HAHA Mustard looks great on you too! Embrace it! xx, Allie
It's a great look, Maylee! I really like the contrast between the mustard and the turquoise on your necklace.

Light yellow is a great color for warm weather. Mustard yellow is a great color for cool weather. Nice pumps, but I also like the blazer. Classic Yi-Chia charm here.

The mustard sweater looks good on you!! I always find money in my boyfriends pants too.. score! Lol That was seriously really nice of your neighbor!
It took me a while to warm up to mustard, but I'm really loving it this season!
haha!!!! same here sometimes i find money in my hubby ´s pocket and i keep it!!! his is mine and mine is mine !!!!!
I was never really a big fan of mustard (the color) either, but I tried to give it a chance last year and found that I really like it in small doses paired with neutrals. I typically pair mine with navy or camel, but I do like your pairing with black and gray here too!
Lol, I wish Rhett didn't do his own laundry now!
I am loving this mustard too, even bought myself a shirt in the color. It just screams fall, which I am embracing.
Have a fab weekend chica!
The mustard colour looks great on you! What a nice neighbour you've got; this must have been such a great surprise for you. Wishing you a great weekend. xo

How do you always look so wonderful? Your outfits are always so nicely put together, with a splash of perfect color :) You look great! Nice neighbors are always a plus. I remember we use to live next to some WEIRD neighbors awhile ago in Michigan... tried our best to avoid them at all times. We like our neighbors now!

Mustard is a strange color, you never know if you love it or hate it. I guess it depends on the fabric your top looks amazing the color suits you perfectly. Its great to have such a considerate over-the-top-nice neighbors.
I wish my hubby would forget money in his clothes but he doesn't. :(
I love mustard! I never thought I looked good in yellow but mustard is a color I think I can pull off. It looks good on you too!

HAHHA...so many comments- first of all, I totally have the same saying with my husband-- "what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine!" He doesn't like it but I totally agree with you! ;) Secondly, I'm dying for a chalkboard DIY wall! When we get a house, definitely getting one! And your neighbors sound so nice- our neighbors are total nightmares!
AND LOVE the mustard..it's one of my favorite colors!

mustard is definitely one of those colors where it either works or it doesn't, but it's really working on you! I love it! And the turquoise in your necklace really adds to the whole look.

Simple + CHic I love it. and yes there is nothing better than finding money in pockets when doing the laundry! I call it my finders fee!
I also love your titles...very funny/catchy ;)
The mustard color is hard to escape...it's everywhere so we all need to kind of embrace it because there's no hiding from it ;)
You did a great job pairing it with the gray...I hadn't thought about that combination before and I really like the way it looks on you.
XOXO
Ahaha the note about taking your husband's money made me laugh. It's his own fault for forgetting to empty his pockets! But anyway, I'm so glad you're warming up to mustard (one of my favorite colors), it looks so good on you!
I too was not a fan of mustard but have started liking it a bit now.. Your love-it notes are amazing.. I read it with hubby and we had a good laugh!! Thanks!!

I agree with you on mustard but I think it looks great on you! Great classy look!
Chalk board walls are definitely loads of fun, lol and it makes it easy to leave messages. I love that you paired the mustard hue with the grey. I've always loved yellow, one of my favourite colours. xx/Madison
Everytime better it´s great to be back.
I love that top! Mustard yellow is great for fall, good thing you're starting to wear it!
I've always wanted to try painting something with chalk board paint, it sounds like it would be neat!
