Fiscally Chic

Color Lover

Happy Saturday! I hope your weekend is off to a lovely start. I was surprised with breakfast in bed by John which is the perfect start to the weekend :)

I would have posted this week’s Friday’s Fancies yesterday, but we were getting the house ready for the appraiser! So far, things are moving in a positive direction for the mortgage refinancing. More to come in the next few weeks.

So back to Friday’s Fancies. This week, the suggested theme was to create an outfit based on the color you’re crushing on. At this moment, I don’t think I’m craving a particular color. It’s a bit gray in Chicago, so I enjoy an overall jolt of color in my winter wardrobe. Neon is currently enjoying a moment in the spotlight, so I decided to create an outfit around bright and happy colors. And yes, it’s realistic because we finally had our first real snow of the season. My Hunter boots are getting ready for a heavy rotation.
Beyond the outfit, I wanted to share a quick PSA. Please back up your blogs! I heard that reminder at FINCON11, but never got around to backing mine up until a few weeks ago. And then {av} lost Long Distance Loving for a grueling 28 hours because Blogger thought her blog was spam. It’s now back up and running, but she learned the hard way to make regular back-ups. I would never wish that on anybody, so please make back-ups!

As for how, I have the newer version of Blogger. Simply go to Settings > Other. Then click on “Export blog” under Blog tools. Then click “Download.” This should save all of the coding for your template, posts, comments, etc. Chelsea has instructions if you have the older version of Blogger and a commenter also explains how to back up with WordPress. It’s super easy and will save you loads of heartache.

Have a fantastic rest of the weekend!

    Thanks for the reminder! Don’t forget to back up your design template as well — that’s in a different spot, at least in the old Blogger. Otherwise you’ll just have the posts!
