This skirt has traveled with me to many countries. I think I’ve owned it for nearly seven years. I rarely keep anything that long. My 1957 sized closet doesn’t allow me to keep much. But it’s one of those skirts that never seems to go out of style. It’s been a long time favorite of mine. It’s perfect with a bikini on the beach in Thailand or paired with a lacy top and heels for a dinner date in Santa Monica. Do you have something in your closet that has been with you for so long that you can’t seem to part with it? Have you altered it to make it current or changed what you’ve paired it with over the years? It’s funny how if you keep something long enough, it eventually becomes “in” again.
I’m five weeks postpartum this week. Things I’ve accomplished this past week include a trip to the grocery store with two munchkins and a walk with both the littles and Sarah during the heat wave that appears to be leaving no time soon. Oh the round of applause I hear ringing in my ear makes me blush. Stoppppp (said like a bashful little girl with freckles and pig tails). Really though, we ought to celebrate the little things; otherwise our days of going to the grocery store and taking the dog for a walk would feel uneventful and unimportant and dammit it was a beautiful walk on a beautiful morning and surely the food in our fridge serves a very important purpose (if only I had the time to cook it– ha, I joke). It’s all temporary. One day I’ll be back to moving mountains and I’ll be dreaming of the days my life was centered around getting out for a morning stroll with the littles.
You look so pretty– like a ballerina. I tend to keep skirts forever. A good skirt never goes out of style.
Have fun with the littles today. I miss you guys already!
You are the cutest.
2 kids AND a dog???? now thats talent!! my poor dogs are neglected… I still haven’t figured out how to juggle them all on a walk…. are you using a stroller?
I use a double stroller. It’s the City Select baby jogger. I bought it used from Craigslist and it’s made going for a walk very easy. I was scared to give it a try at first, but now we go almost every morning. Not sure I could do it with multiple dogs… actually, I know I couldn’t!
You look amazing for just having a baby!!! And good job with the store trip! Even since I’ve become a mom, I feel like bag lady…a simple trip to the store somehow requires so much luggage!
you are totally adorable. and for the record, i can 100% appreciate the magnitude of the statement “i showered every day of the first month of my second child’s life.” Whoa. those are impressive words all strung together in a true fact. Way to go, making us all look bad. 😉
You look great! And I definitely have some pieces in my closet that I’ve had for years…I have a pair of slacks that I’ve had for 9 years, I know for sure. But that’s because black slacks are not exciting, and they pretty much always look the same.
