What I Wore on Sunday

 Pants, pants and more pants.  This could be alternatively titled What I Wore When I Had to Pee on Sunday (based on my cross-legged stand).
 Break it down:

Shirt:  another Winner's find.  I love the lace detail; the shirt has a very vintage feel to it.  It is also extremely feminine in a Downton Abbey sort of way.
Belt:  the same old belt (look forward to more of it).
Pants:  cropped navy blue pants bought last March Break at a GAP outlet in Halifax.  Unfortunately they were accidentally place in the dryer and really needed to stretch back out.  I never feel entirely comfortable in them.
Shoes:  Dansko Mary Janes bought on a clearance table in Halifax.  As my mother has concluded, I only come to Halifax to shop.
Isaac:  all Old Navy; all worn by the last brother.
So sorry about the nostrils, but the iPad died before Hannah could get any better shots of the jewellery up close.  I tried blocking out my nose using the edit function, but a photo of me noseless was even worse than the above.
Earrings:  real amber from the Russian-American Store in Sitka, Alaska bought 15 years ago when I was on the road with NET.
Necklace:  once again, real amber (and thus concludes my collection of anything real); Christmas gift from my parents last year.

I love that blouse. I have a maternity shirt that is similar and I am mourning not being able to wear it because it is so pretty in a subtle, feminine way.

Lovely jewelry too. I should have told you in person on Sunday.

Jenna, we must be sitting at our computers simultaneously! I literally pressed publish and within minutes you had commented. Let's see if this WIWS gets as many comments as the last - that was fun. Happy feast day.

Love it! I want that blouse. But not in white. I would be terrified of ruining it within the first eight minutes of owning it. I'd go with black, or a deep blue. Comfort zone colours.

Jacob, it was only available in ivory. The ivory was actually part of its allure for me. White is not a good shade on me but I've found lately that ivory is. I tend to ruin clothes when I forget what I am transferring from the washer to dryer!

Sorry Jaclyn, autocorrect made you Jacob!!

All these pretty blouses of yours are inspiring me to break out of my nursing friendly stretchy t-shirts. One day when my body is slightly more my own...

Love the lace and ivory. I love pairing shirts like that with jeans. Pretty and casual, all at once!

Laundry tip: keep your clothes separate from the family's. You won't get to wear them as often as you won't be washing them as quickly, but they won't get ruined. You're worth it.
