The Lemondrops hit the town

Last Saturday the Texas Style Council threw a lovely Posh dress party with Poshmark. It was a wonderful excuse to dress up in something I’d never worn before. This glittery vintage dress had been hanging on my closet door as decor for almost two years. I bought it just before I found out that I was expecting the little lemondrop, and then never dared try it on again until now. YAY! It fits, well, barely… but it fits and that’s what counts. It was a nice night out for us, and a great way to meet some wonderful blogging friends. Happy Saturday night to you, hope you have some vintage in there too.

Guess who brought beer to the wine party? Yes, we’re classy like that.

Best cupcakes EVER. I stole one to take to my mom, our babysitter for the evening.

Lavender + a field does not = lavender fields

I like how we are only a few days into the new year and I have already tarnished my resolution list with a missed gym visit and a bag of milk chocolate. I am chalking both up to the stress of going back to work after a nice break and moving on. After all there is some nutrient value in chocolate and my bum needed to recover from the enthusiastic attempt I made at lunges on New Year’s Day. I recently read an article on embracing my failures and going forward…so here I go! On to a resolution that I can achieve- trying new things. And by new I mean wearing new colors I normally disdain. And by disdain I mean purple. My mother loves purple, and it was one of my high school colors, thus I usually avoid it.  I can find very little evidence of it in my blogged outfits. (and if an outfit isn’t blogged does it really exist?)

So- trying new things, √

Feeling peaceful about it as if I was lying in a lavender field…no √

Winter sunsets,a winning dress and a doctor bag

Many bloggers  have complained about trying to get those outfit posts done with the time change. I’ve struggled myself, but I am not an OOTD blogger anymore since I have a little man to worry about more than the clothes I am wearing most days. But it’s great when I can get dressed, stay relatively stain free of baby food, and get some photographs in before the sun sets for the day. Throw in a great vintage bag and pretty vintage backdrop? I am having a good day. Funny how what was once an ordinary expectation in my life turned into a treat! Another treat? Winning! I won this dress from the lovely Bonnie of Flashes of Style in her Stitched and Adorned giveaway. And now I am hosting a giveaway of my own for a gorgeous etsy shop! I hope some good giveaway karma comes back to you too.

Really Casual Friday, isn’t it?

It’s summer time- and the living is mostly easy. That’s why this little summer frock is handy to have. But Mr. L. did suggest this dress made him want to ask me for a plate of enchiladas. That’s fine with me, as long as it’s me passing him one handed to me by a lovely waitress at one of our fave restaurants. I am quite hopeless in the kitchen when the recipe has more than a few steps. I guess we’ll go out tonight! What are your weekend plans, dearest reader?

Hope it’s lovely for you.
