Duets

I have been snapping outfit pictures all summer, but frequent jaunts to the pool, vacation (and all the packing/laundry associated with it) and just general madness and mayhem of having four young kids home all day has prevented me from finding the time to actually post them.

Time to catch up!

I wouldn't go so far as to dance behind my shopping cart in Staples, but with back-to-school upon us, I can't help but feel excited to return to a more scheduled life.  And with only two little people home during the day I should be able to blog with more frequency in the Fall.  Unless of course homework, soccer, street hockey, 3 kids birthdays and a trip to Disney come between me and being on the computer... Let's just hope my babies have mercy on me and nap simultaneously!

Ebay & a birthday

Sawyer is four years old today! I thought Anthropologie's Night Skating top with it's fun confetti print would be perfect for a celebratory dinner at Chuck-E-Cheese.

I love the ruching on this! I also L-O-V-E my new Winding Ruffle boots! I found out last week that they had been further reduced from their original price tag of $258 to....drum roll please....SIXTY DOLLARS. I called the store I ordered them from and they were happy to do a price adjustment for me over the phone. My Corn Maze boots also arrived from Ebay and they are beautiful! I almost need to pinch myself when I realize that both boots cost (WAY) less then full price of one pair! Happiness. I tried to find the best light in the house, which ended up being in Graham's nursery.
Another Ebay score was this cute Country Life tee. The seller didn't know the name on this one, and had it listed as a ruched v-neck, which I think contributed to me being able to snatch it up at such a low price. One of my favorite colors, and super comfy!
Also nameless on Ebay is this beautiful dress by Floreat. Anyone know what it was called? I searched Anthropologie's old catalogs online, but didn't see it. I paid $48 SHIPPED. Seriously. Sometimes I could just kiss Ebay. I just saw another idenitcal dress sell for nearly double!

It's silk, and so pretty! What color cardigan would you throw over this if you were going to Mother's Day Brunch? (hint, hint husband)

I am so embarrassed by my bruised and banged up legs - I think it's the car seat knocking against them??? Yikes!

And my favorite win? Anthropologie's Flight-of-Swans dress. Oh my. These swans make me think of Make Way for Ducklings and the cute park and boat rides in Boston. My fingers couldn't click the BIN button fast enough! I love this dress so much I could twirl around in it all day.This is a size 0 - which I worried about all week while I waited for it to appear in my mailbox. But it fit like magic. And I have to say it could be my most favorite clothing possession of all time.

Too bad boys don't do tea parties.
