WIWS Vol. 10

Linking back up with All the fine, fine ladies @ Fine Linen and Purple with this Sunday’s outfit. I’ve stopped linking due to outfit repeat, however…..Kendra so sweetly reminded me last week (and others….) that it’s all about sharing, inspiring and having some fun. So, here goes this week’s Mass fashion:

Mama

Skirt: Kohl’s, also seen HERE

Shirt: IDK, Cardigan: Kohl’s

Ring and necklace: Lia Sophia

Barrette: Target (I think)

Shoes: Target (I think)

Girls

I went thrifting yesterday with our oldest son (he loves to thrift!!) and our oldest girl (also a thrifter!!) and scored a ton for all. Here are two dresses we picked up yesterday. And when the heck did my oldest girl get so tall and old????!!! Be still my heart!

Boys

They all looked handsome but don’t really enjoy the photo shoots, so just imagine, khakis, plaids and combed hair. K?

Including the outtake explaining to my girl to include the WHOLE outfit.

WIWS…Spring has sprung!

Sunday Mass fashion sharing with the masses @ Fine Linen and Purple…here we go!!!!!

Another weekend of a dress you haven’t seen on me here yet….exciting stuff, right?? With jewelry you may or may not have seen and if you look REALLY carefully you can see my budding herbs in the background. My favorite time of year!!!

I’m including my female mininons this week, too….since they are always so helpful with the photo shoot and all. The menfolk around here generally shun the camera or photobomb or make ridiculous faces….so they’re out! This week anyway….

Full length....Target dress, many, many moons ago and one of my faves.

Bracelet gift from my mom a few years ago, ring you’ve seen this one before and funky necklace a thank you gift from a neighbor for cat sitting.

Our oldest girl and her VERY purple shoes (Kohl’s) and matching hair bow (farmer’s market) and Aeropostale dress (thrifted) with my (Kohl’s) sweater.

Youngest diva sporting her Kohl’s blingy flip-flops, and hand me down dress and cardi and a hairbow stolen from Mimi long ago!

The whole-ish outfit. My missed the shot. Apparently. the skirt is swingy and goes just below/to the knee.

Joining in with Camp Patton, Freckles in April, and North Meets South, in a nod to Fine Linen and Purple‘s wildly fun WIWS….EASTER STYLE!! I’ve been COMPLETELY MIA for the last few months on the WIWS circuit, mostly because I was in repeat mode. buuuuuuut, now I have the spring clothes out so you might see me more frequently the next couple of weeks.

Hoping you all had a blessed Lent and a are enjoying a fabulous Easter celebration today. I have a whopping T-20 minutes, so let’s see what I can throw together here what with cropping and editing and such with the photos!

Mass outside. Breezy 69 degrees, sunny, cloudy, sunny. Awesomeness.

Disregard the scraped knuckle courtesy of porch project yesterday…post to come later…

Love these sandals. Disregard the sad state of the pedicure…just ran out of hours this weekend!

Dancers, pre-Mass practicing their carousel. They were a little nervous with the wind, but did great!!

Pre-Mass warm up by the lake.

Strike a pose!

Papa and his girls!

Even snagged the big boy for a quick shot!

Deets: Moi, Kohl’s for the outfit and shoes and Lia Sophia for the blingz.

Big girl: Kohl’s except for the inherited shrug

Dancer girl: Church for the dance uniform

French horn boy: Church for the tux jacket/tie, thrifty for the pants and inherited shirt.

Big boy: Thrift Volcom shirt, Old Navy khaki shorts

Dad: Thrifted and inherited and a total keeper!

WIWS Vol.7…and some thriftin’..

You can blame it all on Emily and Kendra @ Fine Linen and Purple. Sunday has become the Mass Fashion show….raising the bar on how we present ourselves in Jesus’ house, how we prepare ourselves mind, body and spirit for Mass and snapping some photos along the way.

Warning, soap box moment: Once upon a time dressing for Mass was dressing in one’s Sunday best and there wasn’t even a second thought or argument about it; these days its anything goes (and in our warmer climate…believe me…ANYthing goes). On the one hand, we should just be grateful people are PRESENT for Mass and disregard their dress (maybe pray that the Holy Spirit will open their eyes to their cleavage bearing/thong showing/ripped jeans/flip-flop selves); however, there is the just-coming-from-work-and-straight-to-Mass-dress and there’s just-popping-by-Mass-before-I-hit-the-beach-club-BBQ-dress. Big difference. This is where this lovely little link-up comes in….a way to remind us to take the time in all areas to properly prepare and present ourselves for Mass, time spent with Our Lord, one measly Hour completely His and to give Him the respect He is due. Ideas borrowed from other women and men and encouragement in taking a little extra time with our appearance. Stepping off the soapbox now….

Submitting my little collage…trying out a new app…of the girls and I ready for Mass.

Deets: Collage, meh…not loving it so much so I gave you the bonus head-to-toe shot so you can get a little better look at that animal printy shirt…Rarrr…

Shirt: Kohl’s, few years ago, Pants, Christmas gift years ago, Shoes: Kohl’s

Necklace and earrings: gift from my girls a while ‘go

Ring: Lia Sophia fave

Mini-mes: Sporting yesterday’s thrifty finds, dresses AND shoes…and a sweet little Christmas necklace on the Diva daughter.

Blessings, y’all…We are off to do nada…or maybe hit the movies…

Merry Christmas and all that comes with it!!

Santa and Mrs. Claus making a pre-run/last warning call on behavior…

Wishing you a Merry and wonderful Christmas. Winter white (Mid-ish West and Northeast) or rainy and dodging tornadoes (Southeast) or just lovely and balmy (our neck o’ the woods), may your day be lovely.

My Christmas present to you:

In your downtown and sugar induced coma I have some GREAT links to keep you busy and up your screen time….aaaaaaaafter you have sufficiently spent Quality time with the fam,K? K.

First, you can check out all the Christmas decorations with Katie @ NFP and me. I love checking out other people’s homes and decorations, super fun and done in my jammies.

Best PG view….with a “white” top it’s just not really “general public” kind of viewing…ya know?

Second, you can check out all the Christmas fashion you can stand and then some with the lovely and very preggo (and ridiculously tiny) Grace @ Camp Patton, also done in the PJs if you’d like….

My ‘fit….super similar to Sunday, ‘scuse the look…this was 1a.m….Mama’s done.

Except for the super awesome necklace my sis gave me last year….jelly??

Orrrrrr, you can read MY recap…because it’s my blog, right? 😉

Christmas Eve: Work until 3. Quick “last minute stocking socks” and caffeine stop. 6 o’clock Mass with the family.

Making our way…like herding cats.

Then off to the brother’s casa to feed the grumbly in the tumbly….

Papa and the clown-boy

Papa and almost as tall as him boy….

Popop and his girls

Pensive and handsome in his new jacket…

Dinner @ brother’s with extended family. Or is it dessert with a side of dinner?

My sugar jumps just looking at them again….is there such a thing as too much chocolate? A question to ponder…

Back home to get kids set up for their annual “campout in brother’s room” and a movie and Christmas Eve present (new pillows and 3 new Christmas movies….I was told they had enough PJs….the usual gift!) and then back for Midnight Mass with our French horn player.

Midnight Mass roundup

Stockings filled, Presents out. Bed @ 2 a.m.

Pretty….for a few short hours

Girl loves this “hamster vest”…

Christmas Day: Up at 6:30 a.m. with LOTS of coffee and present time and cinnamon buns, visit from the grands and walk around the ‘hood. Now it’s chill time and then on to the In-laws for lunch. I am officially breaking up with food (again) after today and if the weather keeps up I’m thinking a bonus walk around the ‘hood. Or some more Dance4….because I just whooped my girl at Rock Lobster…Please….years o’ practice…Mama don’t play. Or a nap. BCuz I am LOVE, LOVE, LOVING these cozy jams…

Can you feel the cozy awesomeNESS?!?! Huh, can ya, can ya???

Blessings abundant to you all!! And be careful and don’t break your leg…like my Mom did last night. Surgery today or tomorrow…keep those prayers comin’ ya’ll!!

making the trek

Trekking through life: Faith, family, friends and a whole lot of coffee!
