I love using emojis when I text. Emojis give texting what it was lacking previously, emotion. My favorite emoji, is the straight face. You know what I’m talking about?
- “Just drove off with my $4.00 cup of Starbucks coffee, that I waited 20 minutes for, only to realize it was made incorrectly.”
- “I just busted my toddler taking a #2 in the yard. is this real life?“
- “Have you seen my shoes? I’m late and can only find one.” yeah I take the time to text when I’m running late, lol
- “Girl, that 100 page fax you just sent, yeah it didn’t go through.”
- “Just ripped a hole in my new shirt.”
- “The baby just pooped through his clothes…all over my clothes.”
- “Someone drank all the coffee this morning.”
All pretty mundane statements, but if you just imagine that little straight face guy at the end, it’s pretty comical. Do you use emojis? If so, do you have a favorite?

All Vitamin Shoppe stores across the country will be supporting Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization that helps at-risk populations in need; specifically pregnant women, new mothers and children under five, gain access to lifesaving and life changing vitamins and minerals in the United States and internationally. The Vitamin Shoppe will collect monetary donations at the register and customers can purchase products from select vendors who will donate a percentage of the purchase to Vitamin Angels.

My most used emoji is the laughing/crying one! Maybe because my friends are hilarious, I don’t think I’m particularly funny!
Love your print mixing here – the stripes are so nice with the cosy tartan scarf 🙂
Thank you for the link up!

Stop it!! You are getting too cute!! I swear you get cuter and cuter in every post!! I have my plaid blanket scarf on today too and I need that emoji a lot. No more #2 on me or in the yard, but these teen boys have pee all over ALL our toilet seats!! And a 20 min wait to have a wrong coffee…that is just cruel to us mamas!! But despite these darn frustrations, your smile brightens a room and what an incredibly cute outfit my friend!! I hope all your emoji’s are the cute, happy guys today!!! 😉
I don’t know if you have an iPhone but if you did the update there are so many new emojis. My favorite one is the nerdy one haha. I use it for everything. I’ve used the straight face emoji so many times!
Hope to see you at today’s link up!

LOVE emojis! they seriously make everything better (or worse lol). I love the straight face one or the one with the crinkled mouth (I call it the ‘i hate my life’ emoji).

I love EMOJIS too. Wish most comments on blogs would accept them. I use the ones on Facebook a lot and no hadn’t seen the straight face guy but I love it. I also love that outfit. I want to wear it now head to toe. Great dress. So cool about what the Vitamin Shop is doing too. Great of you to spread the word, too.
P.S. I got the package. I will e-mail me you later today. Thank you. =)

Super cute look!
A Good Hue
Super cute look! Love the print mixing! The straight faced emoji really is perfect for those types of situations.
The straight face emoji is definitely one of my faves as well LOL. I use it when I want to give a situation, a person or a comment made the “side eye”! Love your stripes with the blanket scarf very pretty!
http://www.dressed2dnines.com
haha yes!!
The straight faced guy always makes me laugh!
yesss, that’s a great one too!!
I have been maadddddd at my local Starbucks lately, I frequent there all too often and every other visit, my drink is wrong!
Aw thank you Kacie!!
Thanks so much Alicia!
He’s the best!
That’s the truth, without a good sense of humor, life would swallow us up!

I think blogging needs emojis! I could get my point across much better!

I neeeed to update! I’m missing out on so many emojis!
Right?! I wanted to be like look Starbucks, don’t you know I have this baby in the car and going back through the line just isn’t going to happen?! lol
Thanks Jaymie!
I feel like I need to use that emoji once a day now, lol.
Thanks Biana!!
He’s a funny little guy!
I use that one a lot too!!
Some texts don’t even need words anymore, lol.
So whilst I adore that you mixed prints and look positively charming, Brooke, what struck me the most is how your skin is glowing beautifully 🙂
My favorite emoji is the googly eyed one with his tongue sticking out. It’s perfect all the time! Love the pattern mixing in this outfit – absolutely adorable!
you are so right… emojis give texting emotion!
haha the straight face dude. funny…
my fave is probably the monkey with hands over face/eyes…
and that blanket scarf I got from your collection is my FAVE! it keeps me warm during football games.
Haha! This post is so funny! I often use the laughing with tears emoji and the smiley one. I love this outfit! You look so cute!

Hi Brooke-I love to use emojis too and I can relate to many of those scenarios (particularly Starbucks and the fax one!) This outfit is just so cute. I love how versatile this little striped dress could be! The scarf and boots are perfect with it. You always look fabulous. Hope you’re doing great and enjoying fall so far!

Thanks so much Valerie!!
That’s the perfect situation for the straight faced emoji!!
Ugh yesss!!! It’s my pet peeve too!
Hi Joanna!! I am doing great and loving fall, so excited for the upcoming holidays!! 🙂 I hope you’re doing great as well!! Starbucks is my favorite, but they need to step it up on their drink making game! I think it’s because they get new employees on the regular lol.
OMG girllll the struggle!!
I love emojis and I have such an “emoji” overloading personality when it comes to writing my texts haha. I can’t send a text without them it seems like. The one you use is such a classic and I also like the one with the teeth showing, you know the one with straight teeth baring smile. Perfect for those oooopss moments. 🙂 Your outfit and smile are adorable btw. XOXO, Elif
Love this post!! That emoji is my favorite too! xo
