Baby steps for three more days of doing those numbers... Will someone remind me next time that I'm just too old and creaky? Pretty please?
booties: steve madden. jeans: american eagle. polka dot top & blazer: thrifted (but...old navy & the limited). belt: forever21. flower pin: downeast outfitters. watch: target.
Sometimes my world moves verrrrry slooooowly. Like right now. I'm sitting here in the kitchen, listening to my puppy snore, my 2-year-old talk about how pretty she'll look at her wedding (??? and again I say ???), and my 4-year-old and her BFF giggling adorably over their newly created play-doh Ice Cream Flower Garden. It's like time has stopped for a few minutes, because I'm fully invested in the moment called Now.
Of course, one can always take that time-stand-still mindset to an uncomfortable extreme. Like I did, when I (again) thought I could pull off double braids. C'mon, though. A blazer totally cancels out the juvenility (yep, made that one up...I think...), and then I've still got on heels, so I figure I'm 1 point in the positive for dressing my age. Two points if you count the watch, which means I could've actually tied ribbons around the braids, too. Next time.
Speaking of Now, there are some leftover snickerdoodles sitting on the counter that won't be here Later. And if that kind of time-manipulation speak confuses you, I don't recommend watching Inception. Or riding in elevators. Just in case.
Happy Monday.

You are so adorable! I love the polka dots, the ruffles, the braids, everything! Those jeans fit you perfectly and the blazer with jeans is a fun combo. Super cute!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
Ha, you always make me laugh!! Love the braids. If I had long hair, I'd absolutely wear them and join you in feeling like a kid for a second or two! =) Your outfit, as usual, rocks!
I like the braids! I think adding a bit of youthful exuberance to an outfit is never a bad thing!!
Just found your blog - what a treat! I love this outfit. Can't wait to get to Am Eagle and find those jeans. The red ruffle top is so cute! I'm a mom and get tires of yoga pants & hoodies every day. I'll watch your blog for inspiration!
LOL, love your points system! And,great outfit, as always. ;)

I love everything about this outfit - the colours, textures and little details like the flower and the fact that you folded over the end of your belt. Fabulous!
Guh. I'm with you on the braids. I have tried them time and again, and just look ridic every time. I shake my fist at you, adorable braid-wearer!!!

Love the blouse, flower, blazer combo!!! And speaking of Inception - I'm one of those who didn't get it! I watched the whole thing with barely any idea what was going on :)
I must say, you are adorable. The polka dot blouse is fantastic!!!
The braids makes it fun, so you, and the blazer makes it adult. That's a good blazer to own, it can go with everything. And I'll remind you next time, no more numbers.
