A random assortment for this week - Peter makes it harder and harder for me to get the camera out because he WANTS it, precious!

My Sunday Best, Vol. 5: Corpus Christi

Happy Feast of Corpus Christi (observed, if you already celebrated on Thursday)! We're going to our very first Eucharistic Procession this evening and... I'm nervous. 

I mean, I think the kids will do awesome, but my tailbone has been killing me for weeks (yes, you can throw any and all advice at me - this happens every pregnancy but it's started earlier with this one and means I basically can't do anything without being miserable...). So I'm not sure I can actually *participate* in the procession... Maybe I'll just bring a chair and wait for everyone back at the beginning? Or suck it up and walk anyway? #catholicproblems #offeritup #therewillbeicecreamafterwards

I Hate Pants: Skirts for Summer {7 Quick Takes}

It feels like forever ago that I decided to stop wearing pants... But looking back at the archives, it's only been 3 years! I *do* still have a couple pairs for hiking/muddy gardening/whatnot, but every time I put on a pair of real pants (like, with a zipper), I still spend the entire time wearing the hiking them up, adjusting them, and just generally feeling miserable! 

So yes, I'm one of those Catholic women who doesn't wear pants, but you don't see me yelling at the internet, telling them that NOBODY SHOULD WEAR PANTS LEST THEY INSPIRE LUST WITHIN THOSE MEN WHO GOSH DARNIT CAN'T CONTROL THEMSELVES!!! Goodness, people get worked up about pants. Wear pants. Don't wear pants. Whatever. 

Anyway, Amanda and I were talking style, and she's decided to try her own "99 days of no pants" challenge - in 2013 some really fun ladies linked up how they wear skirts every day (because it doesn't have to feel like an earth-shattering thing) and we thought it might be fun to try another Pants-Free July Challenge this summer! I'll post more on that next month, but in the event that you're suddenly thinking, "Hey! I'm much more comfortable in dresses and skirts! But finding decent skirts is so hard..."

Well, I've rounded up some of my favorites right here! 6 skirts that will get you through the summer (and more!) without having to wear the same outfit every day.

Links are affiliate links, which means I get a teeny percentage if you buy through them. Thanks!

The Patterned Pencil Skirt

I love this striped pencil skirt from Loft (currently only $30!) - pull-on skirts are such a wonderful thing, and the reviews say this is made of a substantial material that won't cling. A great way to add a bit of interest to an outfit, and easy to pair with a basic top!

20/52: Cabin Fever

When it rains for approximately 3 weeks straight with very little respite, sometimes we have to resort to indoor foot races...
