What I Wore Sunday: Volume 1

This is my first time linking up to the Fine Linen and Purple "What I Wore Sunday" dealio, though I have been wanting to participate since I found out about it a few weeks ago.

So even though I am not exactly a paragon of fashion, I do enjoy dressing up on Sundays and putting effort into looking good for the Lord. However, this might have to be more of a "What my whole family wore on Sunday" because my daughters are my little dress up dolls and my husband cuts a fine figure in his Sunday best.

Although, wait... a reconsideration.... there may be too much wrangling involved in taking pictures of the girls because they are squirmy and move a lot.

And it may be especially hard to get a picture of Phillip since he pulls a Sasquatch whenever he sees the camera come out.

So, let's make the pics of everyone else conditional. Ok enough writing brain vomit that makes no sense and no one cares about. And now I give you, What I Wore Sunday:


The sweater is a cowl-neck black sweater from Maurice's. The skirt is a very long, full skirt with a beaded waist (its not a belt), which I got on consignment at Saver's for $10. Man, I love a good deal. You can't see it but I am wearing black ballet flats. Fergalicious ones. Maybe next week I can snap a pic of them.


And here are the girls, all wearing dresses with a long-sleeve velvet top part since it's chilly. Two of the dresses I bought on consignment at As They Grow, and the bright pink one is a hand-me-down from a generous friend. I love that the pattern on the light pink and grey skirts are the same!


The end!

    Oooh I like the look of that beaded waist on the skirt! And all three of your girls look precious as well - that's a great job, getting everyone dressed at the same time!

      The beaded waist is a fun detail, and I think it offsets the fullness of the skirt.... otherwise I look like a house! :)

How to Look Like a Rock Star

Image
Having a baby and being exhausted a lot of the time makes me feel really old and decrepit. Sometimes I see a picture of myself and I am surprised by how young I look, simply because I feel so old. And something about feeling old makes me want to at least fake youthfulness. In fact, I think this is what you call a mid-life crisis. Or a mid-childbearing crisis. I don't want to be matronly. I don't want to be called "Ma'am". I want to be youthful and be called "Miss". Sure, the correct term for a married woman with 3 children is "Ma'am". But I am throwing convention to the wind here because I pretty much want to pretend. I want to get hip. Be cool again (ok, I've never actually been cool, but I did say this was for pretends). So I took a little trip down to the fantastic Euphoria Salon for some  help. Here is before, at home with the baby. Clearly something needs to be done with those split ends either way. Soooo.... let's cho...

How to Battle Caffeine Addiction

How can you battle caffeine addiction? Um, you tell me because I have no idea and I've been struggling hard against becoming addicted to caffeine. Heck, I even struggle against the idea of needing something like caffeine to get through my day. But the truth is that caffeine is like having a secret mommy superpower. Caffeine makes me brave. Caffeine makes me want to live my life to the fullest. I can accomplish things when I have had coffee. It...dare I say it? It makes me a better person. For example, when getting ready to go to the park with the kids, I normally just throw whatever on myself and the kids, and walk out the door. But when I have had coffee it makes me do crazy things like care about our appearance.   And, because I am nursing my 2 month old, she can also accomplish amazing things. When I have had coffee, I can do a million things at once - like clean everything while talking on the phone with caffeine-less friends, nurse the baby , and just about anythin...

Costco Pusher

Image
Since our family has been growing larger I have been getting increasing pressure from family and friends to shop at Costco. Everyone wants me to go there. And they aren't shy about getting their Coscto-lovin' feelings across to me. I literally cannot get through an entire visit with my mom without the topic of Costco coming up. Usually, she tries to get me to take a trip there with her by insisting there is something there that she really, really needs. Even though she is only in town for 48 hours. And I always find an excuse of why I cannot possibly go, or why my pantry and toilet paper is completely stocked to capacity. Because the truth is.... I. Hate. Costco. There, I said it.  Before you delete my blog out of your favorites (my blog is in your favorites, isn't it??) let me tell you why I despise it so. It is for many justifiable reasons. Such as the enormity of the place, the crowds, the hugeness of the bulk items, the crowds, the massive scale of the stor...
