This is what we wore today. It was a leisurely Saturday. I slept in, blocking out the sounds of Alexa wreaking havoc in the living room with H. When I woke up we ate blueberry waffles and enjoyed the rest of the overcast morning. We finally went out to drink some Coffee Bean and wander around the party store to get inspiration for Alexa's first birthday party (two weeks away omigod).

Sara's capsule wardobe is in full effect lately. She gave me so many pieces I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do them all justice. I'm really just get started here. My BFF Shelly gave me this necklace when we saw her on our trip. She pointed out that we have known each other for 20 years. Holy cow.

The ring. Well, the ring is a Christmas gift that H so thoughtfully purchased for me from my very own Etsy account without my knowledge. (Or maybe I pounced on it for myself and made him wrap it up for me. I can't say.)

Alexa's dress is so adorable. I fear she's getting to the age where every cute outfit will be ruined in milliseconds, though, because as soon as I zipped it up she wanted to crawl around. It's much more difficult to crawl in a dress than in pants, it turns out. The next thing I know she's squeezing bites of clementine all over herself. Her socks serve the sole function of sweeping the the floors. And shoes? Forget shoes. She takes them off immediately. She scrunches up her nose as if to say, "uh-uh, not on my feet," swipes her hands at them and yanks them off. Oh, this girl! I love her.
