On Mother's Day, I decided to surprise my mom at church.
She was expecting an afternoon visit at home, so I knew this would catch her completely off guard.
(I got a two-for-one special, as dad was just as surprised!)
After church, pa took the official Mother's Day photo. We must have channeled each other. White on bottom, pattern on top.......
I think a new favorite outfit was born when I was scrambling to get ready that morning.
I needed to be warm. Church is always cold.
But I wanted to be springy.
I'd had that top for awhile and hadn't worn it. Chalk it up to a styling block.
Somehow, in a fashion frenzy, it all came together.......
Now that I'm over my fear of wearing ivory pants, I kind of want a pair of plain white too.
That is, until I have a run in with a Sharpie in the classroom.
Or slip on a puddle of tomato soup in the cafeteria.
With ten days of school left, I'll take my chances.
Linking up with The Pleated Poppy,
Hello,

Thanks so much for dropping in!!!
DeleteLooking cute, as usual! Again, I have to applaud you for risking it with the white pants! Muck just has a way of making it's way to white but you seem to be fighting it off.
ReplyDelete10 days? What are you going to do with yourself?! Yay summer!!!
I'm cracking up because I"m envisioning you popping up from a pew and yelling "surprise!" Or even doing that from the baptism area mid sermon.
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely tell you're related....great pic! Just remember when you buy white pants to buy bleachable. Hope you have a great summer. Jan
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is super cute! I'd wear that in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit and it is always great to surprise parents!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute that you guys match! I get nervous wearing my white pants too but I figure there's always bleach if I stain them badly :)

ReplyDeleteBrave! I still haven't tried white pants. I just *know* they'll get something unremovable on them the very first time I wear them. Mud from the puppy. Food. Something. It'll happen.
ReplyDeleteWay to be brave...Hope your pants stay white!
