the outfit that almost never was

when: saturday, march 24, 2012

what i wore:
sunglasses: paul frank (giveaway)
cardigan: ebay (there’s one left!)
dress: h&m
necklace: lisa leonard (gift)
tights: we love colors (maroon)
shoes: simply vera vera wang via kohl’s

where: errands, family walk

i was going to wear this exact outfit four weeks ago, the day rooney was born. an hour before i went to put it on, my water broke. (lucky for these tights. now they just have spit-up on them. does anyone know how to wash tights???)

have a good weekend! we’re going to watch my twin nieces’ dance recital. can you say cuuute?

FRIDAY FAVORITES

  • why retailers need to work harder to sell to 18- to 34-year-olds. (thanks to my dad for sharing this article with me! it gives some insight on why i might hate to buy stuff that’s not on sale.)
  • this is still my all-time favorite youtube video. and i don’t even like cats hat much.
  • i salute tania for knowing when to say good-bye. even though i’ll miss her, it would be harder to see her blog die a slow death. props to her for going out on top!
  • maternity leave means lots of online shopping. i just ordered a pair of sandals from rue la la and a heart-shaped wall hanging with rooney’s name, birth date and time. we also have one with our names and wedding date. next to purchase: a black maxi skirt and a denim jacket.

FROM MY OTHER BLOG

next: the winner of the adornments by wendi jewelry giveaway!

snappy baby-wear

i personally can’t justify spending a lot of money on clothes that Rooney will outgrow before her first birthday. she doesn’t get a clothing budget of her own yet and probably won’t for…a long time. and even then, it will be small. i’ll teach her how to do a 30 for 30 remix before long :)

my sister has three daughters, so there are plenty of hand-me-downs available. we’re really lucky. and, others have been willing to splurge on these special pieces that we’ve received as gifts.

i can’t wait to see her in these:

baby steps

i showered, got dressed and left the house for something other than a doctor’s appointment.

it was kind of a big deal.

maybe someday soon i’ll also have time to style my hair again. you’ll have to wait and see…

outfit details:
sunglasses: won via paul frank
necklace: gift, lisa leonard
shirt: maude via langford market (in austin, tx)

the sisterhood of the traveling scarf

when: tuesday, feb. 21, 2012

what i wore:
dress: h&m mama
tights: we love colors
shoes: simply vera vera wang via kohl’s
scarf: c/o scarves.net

where: work, life group

these photos are obviously from a few weeks back. :) i got this scarf from amy, who got it from tieka, who got it from sarah, who got it from maggie, who got it from the other sarah, who got it from stacie. did you get all that?

it arrived in this fun box, with a map and list of rules:

i enjoyed my time with the scarf, and hope i don’t get kicked out of the group for breaking the rules and keeping the scarf for much longer than i was supposed to. (something big kind of happened that kept me from the post office for a couple weeks.)

the scarf is finally on its way to the adorable liz. i can’t wait to see how she wears it!
