Hello? Is this thing on?

Don't even get me started on where I've been .  Let's do a quick synopsis: Economy bad, husband going back to school, lucky enough to have been able to be a stay at home mom for 4 years....but now it's time to go back to work.   I START MONDAY Y'ALL!!!!  Hopefully that means that I'll get to post a few cute work outfits now!!  Or it will go the opposite way and I'll drop of the face of the blogosphere...

In any case!  Marion is having one of her outstanding style challenges and I happened to be reading and wearing what she's challenging!  Mixing prints!  This is one of my favorite shirts, but it's getting to a point where it's seen it's day!  It literally has gotten worn with EVERYTHING in my closet, and today we went a little nautical with this blue and white striped skirt.  So snap a quick pic...and get back on the blogging train with a party!!

I'm going to miss this  little guy during the day ..... :(

Modern Day Hippie

Saturday night my neighbors through me a birthday party.  Well...not just me.  We have a group of 3 couples that we love, and coincidentally, 2 people have birthdays within days of each other.  So we get together 3 times to celebrate that duos b-day...am I losing you? Possibly.  But anyway, it's always a fun get together with drinks, and food and games.  My birthday rocks because it's held at my next door neighbors house, so we never need to find a sitter, we just bring the monitors over to there house.  No seriously...look

I don't even plan to wear shoes over there ever since it takes about 7 steps to get inside their door...where I take my shoes off.  So in order to enjoy a totally relaxing and fun night...I wore a totally relaxing and fun outfit!  It was perfect for loads of eating, drinking, laughing, and celebrating!

You ever feel pretty good about your outfit...and you start getting stupid and silly?  That's fair warning for the remainder of these pictures...

A little bit Country

Clearly I need to do one (or all) of 3 things:

1) Find a good pose besides "skinny butt pose."  I cannot be bending over all the time.

2) Get those pasty stems into the sun.

3) Learn how to smile when not wearing sunnies

On the other hand...if you have not been blinded by my white legs, please notice my pretty crocuses that are popping up.  I planted the bulbs in September (first time doing that!) and didn't touch them.  They are bringing me such joy and I basically ignored them for 6 months! Oh how I wish that could happen with my children!  What? Who said that....

Lastly, please try on clothes in the store.  I insist.  This skirt looked about 3 inches long on the rack.  I don't even know why I grabbed it besides the fact that I really liked the print.  I thought it would be a bootie buncher for sure...and it is surprisingly the perfect length!  And SOOOOOO comfy!  I love it.  New favorite.
