Conversation #104: Menswear

Good thing I recently bought a great menswear vest at H&M last week because otherwise I don't know what I would have worn! I have blazers, trousers and such, but it is just too hot to wear that stuff right now. I also had a meeting with a police officer out at a school to observe traffic, and I just couldn't stand outside in the heat in multiple layers. Actually, the vest was still pretty hot, but luckily it covered up the beautiful sweat soaking through my tee underneath. Seriously, can fall please get here sooner?! (Well not until after Sunday because we have a date with the water park).

I must apologize for the picture too. I didn't have time to run to the bathroom at work yesterday so I took these in my bathroom mirror at home (and it isn't full length and the lighting is even worse than work!)

Outfit breakdown

Vest: H&M, $24.50

Tee: Lands' End, $3

Skirt: Lands' End Canvas, $25

Necklace: American Eagle Outfitters

Watch: Anne Klein via ebay, $30

I was just wearing my tried and true Lands' End Canvas brown leather flat sandals. I actually had the tee tucked out from the vest originally, which is still how I prefer it, but I decided that was too casual for a workday. Oh well! Checkout the other menswear outfits here.

Conversation #204: My Jesus...

Oh Facebook and social media of all kinds...we have a love hate/relationship. Lately, these days, I feel it is more hate only because I allow myself to be depressed by things I see. I recently told someone the other day that I had lost faith in humanity, and then it hit me, that is exactly where I should be. We are a fallen people in a fallen world, and I should have NO faith in humanity. Why did that take me 30 years to figure out? So there has been a lot of political/social stuff swirling around, and division among Christians, and I hate it. Like I said, I have no faith in humanity and realizing that was a good reminder it should ALL be in the Lord. Even though there are definitely things going on in this world that reject the truth of the Gospel, Jesus, the thing that scares me the most these days is the phrase I alluded to in the title: "my Jesus wouldn't believe this" or "I can't follow a God that would say that" or "I just don't believ...

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow! It has been too long. I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me. I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday. What was this past Saturday, you may ask? My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement. I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam. I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks. We are done! I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work! Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #201: Fit for an "it"

I always knew that I would want to find out the gender of my babies before they were born - that is just my jam. Mostly I wanted to find out because I know my weird self and if I bonded with said baby for nine months thinking "it" was a boy and then instead "it" was a she, I knew it would mess with my mind. Now having actually been pregnant, maybe that wouldn't be the case because I clearly didn't know Dean was a boy until 20 weeks, but I also loved being able to talk to him the rest of the pregnancy and call him by his name. All of that to say, I always thought I would want to create and elaborate, gender specific nursery, until we renovated two houses and I painted more walls than I care to remember. So one night before we knew Dean was a Dean, I was laying in bed and made the declaration that our nursery would be fairly gender neutral. We knew we would always want to use that room for the nursery because it is across the hall from our room and the s...
