what i wore sunday ~ vol. 24...
Today I dressed down a bit for Mass since I was going straight to a date with my mother and sister. We had tickets to a play with the local community theatre and then lunch at the local ale house. We had a delightful time. I don't get the opportunity to visit with both of them at the same time these days so when we are together we have fun.
As my hubby was taking pictures this morning, the battery on my good camera died so the photos of Courtney are taken with my PHD camera (push here dummy). You can really tell the difference in quality, so I apologize. We had ten minutes before heading off for Mass so this is what we ended up with.
Miss Courtney embraced her inner Independence Day and went with a literal Red/White/Blue translation. She is wearing a white silk blouse from JCPenney, jeans from the Gap, Navy Keds from Stride Rite, and a red cotton eyelet blazer also from JCPenney. In her hair we have a head band from Target. She actually kept in in for the entire Mass. Yes, miracles do happen.
I am wearing my new favorite pair of pants. Why are a pair of yellow cropped pants embroidered with bumble bees my new favorite things to wear??? Because they are a size SMALLER than the last pair I bought!!!!
Hey, it takes a certain attitude to wear pants that have bees across your butt you know. I am happy to say that I do indeed have that kind of attitude. These pants make me happy, so very, very happy. I bought them on Friday at Talbots. They were having their semi-annual Red Hanger Sale and everything was an extra 30% off the sale prices. I bough these pants for $23...Oh YES!!
The sweater is also from Talbot's but was a gift. The sandals are Kathy and Kelly from DSW. They are so comfortable and go with everything. The bangles, earring and camisole come from Lane Bryant but they are all at least three years old. I can now wear the camisole as a top because it's not glued to my body anymore. (insert snoopy dance here).

I love your outfit! You look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Erica. It was a fun outfit and comfortable.
DeleteOh! I so would have run out to Talbots in an instant to get those pants if I was still teaching Pre-K! I just have to be honest with myself. I wouldn't really wear them now... But they are awesome and you do wear them with panache, Mary. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thanks Ellen. I just think they are so fun and I needed a little fun in my life.
DeleteCongrats on the continued weight loss!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie!! I still have a long way to go...one denied donut at a time.
DeleteI love the bangles!
ReplyDeleteJen I have had them for several years. They never go out of style!
DeleteYou look great Mary! Wearing something you love + a good deal = a great day. :) Courtney's blazer is so pretty and I love the patriotic outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lisa! Miss Courtney does rock the patriotic look.
DeleteMy favorite part of the outfit is your sweater; Mary, it's so beautiful. I love the detail along the neckline.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorites. I am all about a little bling on a sweater.
DeleteWhat fun pants!! And that's awesome that you're still losing that weight - way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rosie!! I have a long way to go yet but I must say I am enjoying feeling lighter.
DeleteI am loving that cardigan and your BANGLES! So FUN!
ReplyDeleteI am a HUGE fan of bangles!! I wear them several times a week.
DeleteYou both look great!!! I wish I had remembered to take a picture yesterday...sigh..we were running late ALL day!
ReplyDeleteNo worries Therese. I can't wait to check in next week to see how stunning you look. Happy Sunday!!
DeleteThat could almost be a t-shirt slogan (or a bumper sticker...ha forgive the pun) "It takes a certain kind of attitude to wear bees across your butt." Hooray for your bees across the butt attitude! I'm inspired. And I do love the black and white stripes in the company of bees.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Hooray for miracles at mass.
Oooohh a bumper sticker...good idea! Thanks!
