Happy Friday! I’m so excited for the weekend. I’m looking forward to time with friends, time with Josh, and time to sleep!
Here’s five things I’m loving this Friday:
1. This photo is crazy. What color is this dress?! I originally saw white and gold but then when showing Josh saw blue and black. Now I’m able to switch back and forth between the two by thinking about it which kind of creeps me out. Wired explains the science behind why this picture is dividing the Internet.
2. Tell me these are not some of the cutest workout pants you’ve ever seen! Liquido sent me this outfit that they designed in collaboration with Tiffany Cruikshank and I am in love. This is an example of printed workout pants done right. They’re opaque, high-quality, and not shiny! I’m wearing these pants, this top, and this bra. I’ve been wearing this outfit to walk on the treadmill and listen to podcasts after work. I love how they feel, and how they bring a little brightness to my day. 😀
3. Molly, Erica and I are going wine tasting this weekend! I’m so excited to learn more about Nebraska wineries and spend time with girlfriends.
4. I know everyone always wants what they don’t have but I really wish I had curly hair. I loved how my hair looked for the Heart and Stroke Ball. I used the Kiss InstaWave

5. Sometimes I wonder the most random things about my blog. This week I realized how excited I get when a blogger I love replies to a comment I leave them. I also realized how indifferent I am to comments from bloggers that reply back to every comment on their blog with a simple thanks or totally!. I end up ignoring most of their replies because I just don’t find them worthwhile. I’ve gone through phases where I never responded to comments (when I first started blogging and didn’t know better), to where I respondeded to every comment (before I started my current job), to now where I only respond to comments if someone has a question or concern. I want to know what you guys prefer.
How would you like me to handle comments? I learn so much from your comments, but don’t want you to feel shortchanged because you’re not getting a response back from me. I never want the comments section to be a one way street. Please let me know if this is something I need to prioritize! I created a quick little survey and would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much!
Questions of the Day: How would you prefer I handle comments? What color is the dress? If you could pick would you have curly or straight hair? What are your fun plans this weekend?
I FINALLLLLY read this morning all about how and why I see it as gold and white.
CRAZIEST THING IN SO LONG–and fascinating.
I totally saw gold and white too! The human mind is crazy.
Those workout pants are everything!!! I would proudly wear those everywhere haha.
I love them so much!! Haha
Bwahaha I love that the dress is in your Friday Five too. 🙂 #teamblueandblack
That dress took over the Internet!
I cannot for the life of my see Black and Blue. I’ve tried, but even in a post I read that showed how the color changed I still saw hints of gold in what was supposed to be black.
I love those floral pants, seriously, so much!
Have a wonderful weekend Erin.
Thanks Andrea! I hope your weekend was great! I’m in love with the floral pants, which is crazy because I used to hate printed workout pants.
That blue/black, white/gold is mystifying. It shows how complex the human brain is!
That dress is crazy. Hubby and I both see white and gold. Love those workout leggings, fun patterns and colors make working out just a little more fun! 🙂
At least you both see the same color! It makes for a lot less arguments! haha
I loveee those legggings! So cute!
I think they’re so fun!!
How crazy is that dress debate? I swear I see white and gold. Scott swears it’s black and blue. We spent at least 15 minutes going back and forth arguing our points last night, lol. Have fun wine tasting! So much fun. And, gosh, I go through phases with comments. Depending on how much time I have that day, I go from answering most comments to only the ones with questions. It’s hard to know what readers are looking for!
Josh and I saw different colors too! It’s so crazy.
Judging from my survey readers said they would like their comments answered but want the comment to appear in the email and not have to click through. Ask and you shall receive! haha
Same here!!! I saw white and gold yesterday and was so confused as to how some people saw it in black and blue… Then I saw it in black and blue this morning… And now looking at this one, it’s white and gold again! haha Seriously blows my mind. (And creeps me out at the same time)

Thanks Andrea! I’m in love with the pattern on the pants!
I respond to basically every one of my comments… sometimes it is a “thanks” if it isn’t something that required a response (or was relevant) but i love when people give me more context and ask questions and I can give a thorough response!
I agree! More in-depth comments are much better. According to my survey my readers would like me to respond to comments but to have the email include the comment and not click-through to the post to see the comment. Ask and you shall receive!
That dress is so crazy! I immediately saw blue & black while the fiance saw white & gold (which I still don’t see white & gold anywhere). A winery tour sounds so much fun, can’t wait to see your recap about it!
Aw thanks Megan! The wineries were SO fun! We still need to hang out! Are you free the week of the 16th?
Cute workout pants!!
Thanks! It’s so funny because I used to hate printed pants and I love this pair!
I love this! Thanks a ton for sharing, gorg! Wishing you the best Sunday!
Hope you can stop by my blog, for a fun little giveaway!
