What I Wore Sunday

Picture is a little blurry but you can see my shoes. 

 This weekend was a special one for our family. Our youngest had his First Holy Communion! He has been practicing and preparing for this sacrament. He was a little nervous because he was the first one to walk into the church.

This isn't my usual style. I typically wear fit & flare dresses and LOTS of stripes. It took some nerve to wear a dress tight on the hips. I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. 

My dress is Land's End 

 First Communion is a true celebration. It was a beautiful and blessed day.

Happy Mother's Day and What I Wore Sunday...

 Any day I can spend with my boys is special but going to Mass together is extra special. I had a wonderful weekend. I also helped raise money for Women's cancer research doing EIF Revlon Run/Walk

 Whenever I look at this picture I think how blessed I am.

 Pink nails for Mother's Day.

What I Wore Sunday

We made it to children's Mass. I was so happy we did because we got to hear the children's choir sing.  Today's outfit was inspired by the character Jesse from the tv show New Girl. She always wears tight and bright flats. If only I had Zooey Deschanel's bangs!

What I wore Sunday…Winter White

 Happy second Sunday of Advent. Today was pretty chilly but as I watch the football games I know it's nothing compared to the East Coast. I love wearing dresses and skirts. When the temperature dips I try hard not to wear jeans or pants to Mass. I stay warm with boots and lots of layers.

Shirt:: Eddie Bauer

Scarf:: street vendor in NYC

 In my quest to find matchy nail colors…I've found the perfect Starbucks red Julep's Claudette.

 Currently I'm reading an inspiring book on Saint Therese of Lisieux by Heather King

When I asked F.W. to take my picture for this post I found over a dozen photos like this on my phone. haha

I kind of forgot about this color, I haven't worn it all year. I think it is the perfect neutral for Autumn.  

My sweet F.W. and I were color coordinated today. I feel like photos of me turn out SO much better if I have one of the boys with me. Being a parent to a teenager is a new challenge...the mood swings alone are crazy. I just keep thinking this to shall pass and try not to say something sarcastic that I will regret saying later. I am so thankful we go to Mass every Sunday together as a family.

"Hmm...What will I wear next Sunday?"

 It was nice to be home this Sunday and going to our usual kid's Mass at 9am. I am sad the weekend is already over.

Dress:: Anthropologie 2012

This is my favorite dress. I love the versatility of it. I kept it simple this Sunday. However I can dress it up with the right belt or fancy heels.

What I wore Sunday:PacMan Party

Our church is getting ready for Vacation Bible School. The VBS theme is Kingdom Rock.  I am helping create fun snacks for the kiddos.

We celebrated D turning 6 with a PacMan party. It was great having family and friends over. We even had a surprise guest when our nephew from North Carolina showed up! It was a great weekend.

What I Wore Sunday

 Sweater:: Old Navy

Dress:: Land's End*

Shoes:: DSW

From far away you can't tell I am wearing clashing patterns.

 I had 2 objectives for this weekend's outfit...1. NO stripes 2. Mix patterns

Lately I've seen a lot of pictures in fashion magazines about mixing patterns. An example of this would be wearing flowers and stripes. The trick is to have a color that pulls the outfit together.  I kind of played it safe with black and white but hey I tried it. 

*Land's End makes this same dress every summer just in different fabric patterns. 

After my bold 4th of July nails I needed something simple and lady like. I love this color Tea with the Queen by Butter London. Yes, my mug is filled with Barry's tea.

Hey, you can check out what other Lovely Ladies wore to mass this Sunday at fine linen and purple.

Dress::Gap

Sunglasses:: Marc Jacobs

Flats:: Nine West
I love seeing what the ladies on Fine Linen and purple wore this Sunday

Notice D's pants and socks? He has been reading the Magic Tree House books by Mary Pope Osborne. He really liked the book where Jack and Annie go to the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. D was trying to look like Jack in 1889. He was going for the short pants and high socks look.

What I wore Sunday

I can't believe how big F.W is...When did this happen?!? He will be an official teenager this year. How can this be? When we got home from mass this Sunday F.W. wanted to take a picture just the two of us. I was so happy that he still wants to be in a picture with his old Mum. It made my Mother's Day. I love dressing up for Mass but very seldom do I take a picture of what I wear. On the blog www.fine linen and purple it's all about what you wore on Sunday. Cute idea.
