An ill-fitting shirt... But a bargain, and not worth paying return shipping to send it back!
Add a sweater... But there's something missing?
Finish it off with a patterned scarf! The bold pattern against the subtle gingham of the shirt takes the outfit up a notch!
I don't know what that face is... Forgive me! |
I'm not even going to recap our nightmare of a Mass. Let's just say that Cecilia was so bad that the priest paused in the middle of his homily to remind everyone how happy we are to have children in church, even when they cry...
Now, off to finish up preparations for John Paul's 4th birthday party! Don't forget, I'll be hosting a Pants-Free July linkup tomorrow if you want to join in!
Linking up with the fashionable ladies at Fine Linen & Purple - Happy Sunday!
Rosie, what a great spin on the WIWS post!
ReplyDeleteAnd God bless your priest for saying the right thing in that situation. I have encountered almost all loving and welcoming priests, but I did have one guy stop and totally give me the stink eye as I tried to get my first baby latched on. I was totally traumatized at the time. But I'm over it now. Let's all pray for a priest, shall we?
He's such a sweet priest - unfortunately we have an old man in our parish who is notorious for scaring young families away, so I think the pastor tries to do a lot of damage control. We've generally had no issues from priests, but there was one who glared at us and pointed to the cry room when a 2-year-old John Paul was quietly hissing during his homily... They all definitely need our prayers!
DeleteLove the way you put this together...you totally made that shirt work! I like the last look the best...with the belt.
ReplyDeleteI was so annoyed when I tried it on - I ordered the size according to my measurements and it was HUGE! Thank goodness for the internet helping me get creative :)
DeleteI love the pencil skirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's one of my favorite new purchases, although I'm worried it might be too tight...
DeleteLove the photo progression of the evolution of the outfit! I have to say that I like it best with the belt.
ReplyDeleteBelt really made the outfit!
ReplyDeleteSorry about Cecilia but yay supportive priest.
WOW!!! You went from frumpy to fabulous in five pictures! Love the finished outfit! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThat skirt and cardi are GREAT fits on you, so flattering (not that you need any help) you should buy one of each in every color :)
ReplyDeleteI love it with the scarf! That definitely adds a lot. I have such broad shoulders that scarfs sometimes take up my neck and I look like a linebacker. Total bummer because they're such a cute accessory!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so great! And you're right, the scarf totally pulls it together and makes all the colours look so sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteAnd...the oversized shirts always come in handy when you're preggo....even though we don't want to think about that...
You have such style! I love the different ways to made each outfit work! The last one is so chic
ReplyDeleteAll of the things! Love it. And, your style is going to send me to Confession for envy!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the outfit progression :) You are so fun!
ReplyDeleteLove how you added pieces. I'm a huge fan of your last shot with the belt. Great look!
ReplyDeleteLove it with the belt! Great color combo too. :)
