3 things.

Pants: Banana Repulic (thrifted and altered).  Striped Shirt: Loft.  Chambray: H&M. Shoes: Jessica Simpson.  Ring: Dillards.

1. Thank you for all the pledges and the sweet words about my brother.  That boy is incredibly special, and I’m beyond happy that you all got a chance to see a glimpse of how amazing he is.  I am so so lucky to be his sister.  
2. Thank you all for convincing me not to dye these pants.  You were totally right.
3. We took the littles to see “We Bought a Zoo” last night (yes, on a school night-gasp!-).  I feel like the preview didn’t do that movie any kind of justice, because initially I didn’t have any desire to see it, even with Jason Bourne in it.  Let me just say I was wrong.  The movie is amazing.  It’s seriously one of the best I have ever seen.  I was weeping like a little girl when the credits rolled and it took me a good 2 minutes before I could get under control.  Now all I want to do is find some zoo out in the country and buy it.
Heck, I’ll settle for a working blueberry farm.
As long as there are chickens.
I should have known that Matt Damon would never let me down.



Happy Friday.

    “I didn’t have any desire to see it, even with Jason Bourne in it.” Best line I’ve read this week.

    Also, I love the Washington-y scene in the background. I grew up in a small town north of Seattle and that so reminds me of home.

    And cute outfit.

    I thought the same thing about that movie. Fantastic with mediocre marketing. And I totally agree – Matt Damon – scores again!!

  6. I LOVE your hair up/pulled back. I meant to tell you last week when it was up.
    I think because your hair is so long, sometimes your actual face gets lost in it, and when it is pulled back, it makes your face stand out more. Stunning.

  10. Oh, I’m so glad to hear the movie is better than the trailer! I’ve been intrigued by the trailer, but not sold on seeing the movie… I think I’ll go see it now. I love Matt Damon. He’s a hottie…

      I’ve had good luck with white pants at Loft. The are BR and they are lined which is fabulous because they aren’t see through.

    Ooh, I just knew that you would be a Matt Damon admirer too! We are “kindred spirits” you and I. I watch everything he’s in, if it’s not rated R, and have not been disappointed yet! Tried to get Whit to see that last night with me, but, we went to The Vow instead. You were right, it was a let down. Curse that $10.75 movie price tag!!

  15. What an awesome outfit. Perfect for mommydom but fun at the same time. A difficult balancing act.

    You’ve convinced me to give that movie a go C:

    Love the look! Makes me want the red stripes for myself.

    Unrelated, I think there is a pair of red shoes somewhere calling out for you to find them. You seem like a woman who could work a sassy pair of red shoes.

      I have a fabulous pair of sassy red heels sitting in my closet. They are a bit summery though, so I’m just waiting for the torrential downpour to cease before I pull them out again. ;-)

    Today agree with the comment above. I really want those pants – not that wearing white in Ireland is a great idea – but they are fab!
