This is my first What I Wore post..and this is what I pretty much always wear. I have grand intentions of branching out with new and differently colored clothes, but I didn’t finish the skirt I was making in time for this Sunday. So here I am in my regulars: The skirt is from Orchid Lane in Ann Arbor, the shirt and earrings are from the thrift store, and the scarf is from Old Navy.
I love Sundays..We had croissants, grapefruit , and coffee listening to Christian pop (I know, but sometimes I just love it!), watered seedlings and now we’re off to read Shakespeare with friends on a picnic..Idyllic, isn’t it. But don’t worry, it’s only on the surface. The freezer is not freezing right now, and we spent part of the post-Mass hours taking out all the meat, chipping away at ice-build-up and trying again to kick it up to temperature.
Old Navy has such great scarves. Sometimes I love Christian pop too. No shame in that!
ReplyDeleteI never did until just this year..and now it makes up a good part of my day!
DeleteYou look so good! The hair, eyes, clothes! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteI love Old Navy. :) And I LOVE the color of that shirt... I don't know whether it's closer to the blue in half the shots, or the green in the other half--either way, it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteReading Shakespeare on a picnic sounds FUN.
And for all I love to hate on Christian pop... for years and years my family listened to it every Sunday before church. And I was on worship teams, and did camp ministry, and... yeah. I just can't kill all the old affection for certain songs and bands. I've no hesitation in admitting to love for Third Day and The Smalltown Poets. The fact that I have fond feelings for the song Shine, Jesus, Shine is a little more embarrassing. ;)
It's a shirt that is always bluer in my imagination and always greener in Seth's..very fluid, apparently.
DeleteWe want you to come to one of our Shakespeare parties..We've done Twelfth Night (on twelfth night, in a lovely city apartment with coffee cake and good cheese), Julius Caesar on Almost the Ides of March with soup and bread, wine, and imaginary knives, and now Two Gentlemen of Verona on a picnic with cold ham and biscotti!!! It was not my idea - I wish I could be that cool - but we're hoping for Pericles in a Maine Island cottage if you're up for the flight ;)
Christian pop is not what I imagined it to be when I scorned the praise and worship teams at College..It's happy, and I'm on a news fast, so happy music is best..I won't judge you for Shine, Jesus, Shine if you won't judge me for Jesus Christ Superstar!
Ha, don't I wish I was up for that flight! Because that would be AWESOME.
DeleteWould you believe I've never seen JCS? Even though I adore Andrew Lloyd Webber? I haven't, and I do. So no, I won't judge you! Anyway, my in-laws love it. ;)
You look great! And I love a good maxi skirt.
ReplyDeleteMaxi skirts are my favorite! I could wear one everyday, and actually, I pretty much do ;)
DeleteSounds like a great Sunday to me. I hope you got your freezer working again!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really was, and the freezer is working again! Thank goodness, we still have half a pig in there!
DeleteI was expecting black on black on black, the skirt's the only black thing (unless you count your hair). Green's my favorite color. Vertical stripes are really flattering, I'm really into the ruffles right now, and the v-neck type collar of course is a personal fave. So your scarf doubles as a mantilla for Mass?
ReplyDeleteWell, I tried to break it up a bit..;)
ReplyDeleteMy scarf does double as a headcovering..I actually never use mantillas they just don't work on me for some reason..I had about five in college, but I always felt either uber-goth in them or else too frilly..I wonder if part of it was my hair..blonde hair and lace always seems girlier than black hair and lace.
