Happy Shortest Day of the Year!

Good morning! So how's everyone doing without one less hour of sleep? I have church at 9am so that really means 8am today. Fantastic. I set out everyone's clothes last night just to make sure we wouldn't run into any frantic "outfit drama" as I so lovingly call it in our house. With three boys you wouldn't think there'd be too much "outfit drama", but let me tell you, my 7 year old has quite an opinion about what he wears already. I secretly think it's hilarious but most of the time it just drives me nuts because I thought by having all boys I'd escape all the "outfit drama" everyday. Surprise! =)

So we kept busy this weekend...on Friday night we stayed in and just relaxed, which was nice. On Saturday I slept in (till 7:30am...and then laid in bed till 8:30am with my kids coming in and out of my room watching cartoons I had turned on for them). It was so nice to have a morning "off". Then I went to my friend's jewelry party which was lots of fun. Have you ever heard of Stella and Dot jewelry? They have the CUTEST stuff! So cute that I signed up to host a trunk show in April so if you are interested in getting anything from them, or want to see an online catalog, let me know! You can order right through a link I email you without having to be at my party in person. I picked up this cute necklace (it's a long one):



Adorable, right?!

After the party I headed out to Anthropologie to return a few things with my boys in tow. I promised them if they were good we'd stop by the fro-yo place that I LOVE on the way home...so really I was gonna go even if they weren't good. They were actually pretty good at Anthro and really did earn their treat it turns out. I didn't really try anything on so it made the trip into the store a little faster. I did throw this cardigan on over what I was wearing just to get an idea of what size fit me best:



The small was really long in the arms so the X-Small would be the way to go for me. I would consider it a little shorter than the average cardigan and the colors definitely aren't as bright as I expected them to be, but all in all I liked it and it would go with a ton of things. Wish listed for sale!

I also threw this on over what I was wearing just to see which size I liked in it too:



Turns out this is more like a parachute than a top...holy cow it's baggy! I did have another shirt on underneath so I couldn't get a true feel for the fit, but I would definitely go with an X-Small based on what I saw. The color is seriously gorgeous!

I thought these two pieces would be pretty cute together:




After our little adventures we came home and it was almost bedtime already. Time flies when you're having fun! =)

  5. Stella and Dot jewelry is so fun! I think that necklace looks a lot like a far pricier version by Van Cleef and Arpels. As usual, I adore your OOTDs!!!!

  7. Yumm... froyo! Do you like Pink Berry? It's my absolute favorite, but I have to go to NYC to get it because there aren't any in New Jersey.

    And I'm loving that cardigan. You are absolutely right -- it would match so much. Fingers double crossed it sticks around until sale!
