Today has been a restful Sunday so far, my sweet mother-in-law took my oldest two girls to Mass early, leaving me time to do a little reading, drink coffee, and paint my nails.
I haven't left the house for a whole week, so I was excited to get out. My back issues are subsiding, I think thanks to lots of prayer, rest, and Aleve. As an extra perk, since my girls who have to go to Mass already went, we got to leave the other little ones behind for fun with Nana while Charlie and I attended Mass on our own! It was so nice. (Not to mention, I'd love to keep my littles as far away as possible from the multitude of flu carriers!)
Anyway....here's what I wore.
My photographer was not so enthused with his job, hence the lack of "head to toe." I think I'm going to train Felicity (my oldest at 8) how to use my camera, she'll enjoy it a bit more I think.
Also, when I got home I just had to try and get my gorgeous coat in a picture. Now that I live in Texas, I don't get to wear it as much, but it is quite cold today. This pink wool coat was my grandmother's and she gave it to my mom, who at some point gave it to me. I love it. I added that gorgeous cashmere flower broach from The June Bride.
And now, I'm going to go enjoy the afternoon with my sweet family. If I don't get off here soon, my son is going to beat me to a pulp with my nail file!
Happy Feast of Our Lord's Baptism to all!

ReplyDeleteSo happy you joined the party! That scarf and earrings are amazing next to the black and I love the pop of color from your red nails too! What a beautiful sentimental coat from your grandmother! The flower broach was a lovely touch :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so gorgeous, Andrea! And my kids take way better pics than my husband ever does, so I think your girl will LOVE the new responsibility :)
ReplyDeleteThat coat, that coat, that coat. Fabulous!
So, so nice! I love to wear dresses and skirts to Mass but it is difficult to wrangle kids in them... I would have jumped on the opportunity for a dress and jewelry in your situation! You look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of blue from the scarf and the orange from the nail polish! Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteLove those orangy-red nails! And the light blue + black looks great!
ReplyDeleteWoo, those nails POP! I love them!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have kiddos yet, but already, I can say that that's my favorite "date" with my hubby :-) I savor it so much and I'm sure it's even sweeter with time/a growing family!
Mass, that is! Heh.
DeleteLove the orange & turquoise! That coat is so cute too. I have the same thing happen whenever I ask a guy to take a photo.:)
ReplyDeletecute scarf and yay for painted nails and help from nana!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf and earrings are such a beautiful color on you. You look great. I'm glad you got a much needed break from the kiddos and that the little ones were allowed to stay away from the flu viruses running ramped right now.
