Boots: Hunter, Skirt: Madewell, Belt: JCrew, Top: F21, Necklace: c/o Pree Brulee, Glasses: Target
Awkward:- Of course the weather pulls a complete 180 on the one rainy day around here that I get to wear my favorite green boots. Forget you spring. And your little cloud friends too.
- Yum-o is a word? And people use it in real life? See also: cray cray
- I carry a man's wallet. And it's not even close to pretty. It's old and black and leathery and it's stuffed full of old receipts and even older Costco cards. It's awkward because it's true.
- Mom noises. You know the one that sounds like a boat? Not even gonna try to type it out, so just go with it. Everett loves it, so I do it a lot. Sometimes out of habit I'll accidentally do it even when I'm not with Everett. Like in public. These are the defining moments in my life.
- Literally, a 6 inch butt crack. Like a shining beacon across the food court.
Awesome:
- The pig necklace I scored at Madewell the other day. If this was twitter, the hashtag would be #ItsapignecklaceandI'mfreakingout!
- Staying up till 4am with my two crazy awesome cousin-in-laws. I think the last time I did that, I was a freshman in college cramming for my public speech class. So what, I'm a grandma.
- My little brother singing I love you, a bushel and a peck to Everett on the car ride home. And how sad Everett got when his uncle E stopped. 200 rousing rounds later and the babe was one happy little dude the whole way home. Thanks bro.
- One very sexy night out. That is all.
- Rediscovering my new favorite quote by Mary Oliver: Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life? Goin' on my wall like yesterday.

You look great.
And you're the third person wearing an oxford shirt today. That's it, the universe is telling me what to wear. :)

I've noticed 'cray cray' sweeping the blogging world.. I don't get it!
Also, that quote is lovely x
You're so adorable! Love the outfit. :)
Let's not even talk about the "cray cray" and other disturbing disasters befalling English. That quote is also going on my wall like yesterday :)

Love this look, so simple. And that necklace is gorgeous!
DUDE. Okay, as far as yum-o is concerned, when I read that, I immediately thought of this youtube video:
http://youtu.be/yqEeP1acj4Y
You HAVE to watch it (but to the end) - seriously, it's the most hilarious thing ever. I literally watched it like, 5 times in a row the first time I saw it!
Also, you look adorable!
This is a very sweet outfit!

awkward (and awesome at the same time): being asked in a recent job interview "does your husband workout?"
why yes, he does...but how is that relevant????
I love the skirt!

It looks funny- but I like it!:)
Oh my gosh! My brother (hs freshman) will make up the most ridiculous words (which I thoroughly make fun of him for)... He uses cray cray all the time...
love the final quote!
Maria @ Orchard Bloom
LOVE the quote! ...it would go perfectly on a print in my kitchen next to my holstee manifesto!
You look super adorable as always! Love the skirt!

I love that quote!
i MUST have that pink skirt!! obsessed! You look fab as always.
xxoo
Soooo cute! I love your blog : )
I think Yum-o stems from Rachel Ray's baby stuff. ;)
hahah my sister and i started saying cray cray as a joke and now we cannot stop. it has become a problem, and much like your boat noise, I have to try to control myself in public. (or when I'm presenting my thesis in front of an interdisciplinary board of faculty members. cray.)
SUCH a good quote :).

I love the quote by Mary Oliver - an inspiration she is indeed.

Hihi I absolutely love A&A Thursdays! And I MUST have those Hunters. And the belt. And the glasses. And your smile.

That's my favorite quote, too! I just adore your blog and your baby boy. Thanks for allowing us to be parts of your life.

Love the skirt! Like, really love it. I definitely know those sounds you are talking about. I have gotten busted a few times trying to do them to my husband out of habit. So terrible! At least our babies don't think we are crazy when we do it for them, right? Who am I kidding, they probably do think we are crazy, and that's why we can get such a laugh out of them.
Such a sweet little spring outfit!

This is a great outfit, something I can even see myself attempting! I discovered your blog about a week ago and it's has become my favorite place to look for inspiration (outfits and the married life!) Thank you, oh so much!
pretty necklace!

Love this outfit! Well done. I'm saving my pennies for a pair of Hunter rain boots, maybe by next spring I will have the perfect pair!

Love the final quote makes me motivated to actually do something on my day off.
pig necklace aside, that pree brulee one is pretty awesome!
You are so funny. I love how I can hear your voice so well through your writing - and I love your cute outfit! I think I need some Hunters, even though one would assume two pairs of rainboots are more than sufficient for one person.
i LOVE your necklace!
xoxo
Love those boots, love your writing, and love what you say about baby E.
There is so much love in your little fam and it is so heart-warming to read!
Thank you for sharing :)

i totally agree about 'yummo' and 'cray cray'... who comes up with this stuff?
you look so cute, little momma!
and i loveee that quote, too... did you get it from reading kelle hampton's book? i haven't read it yet, but i saw it on the video, and i LOVE it.
I know you've worn it before, but I still die a little bit over how cool that necklace is EVERY time I see it!
Yum-O cracks me up. And don't get me started on "cray cray"...I don't think I'll ever be able to take someone seriously if they use that word in a spoken sentence. (Watch, now that I said that, I'm going to start using it.)
Happy Thursday!

Left brain, right brain, pug brain.
super cute skirt, love the shade of pink it is.
That noise thing mae me laugh so much--I call my husband a pet name and have said to other people this week by accident--awkward! Yes he is the only person I usually talk to ;)
So cute, you have the best jewelry and you make me laugh out loud. Generally in class. ha!
--Renee, Wild Roses blog
So fresh! It's pouring rain here is San Francisco, so I'm wearing my Ralph Lauren rain boots. It's the only fun part about the rain!
Love the pretty pink pencil skirt!
I'm loving all your Madewell scores lately! The pig necklace is awesome.
I always sing Bushel and a Peck to Luke all the time! The little youngsters love it, that is true. The best Broadway turned baby song in the world!

I totally say cray-cray. And yum-o. And A-mah-zing too. And I'm a grown woman. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

Butt cracks are so awkward! The worst is when there is underwear involved - especially thongs. Just keeping it real. I think mom jeans are now less awkward because they prevent butt crack visuals. That pig necklace is so cute!
Love this skirt!

i'm always getting caught in my bright yellow hunters on a day that was supposed to be rainy but turns out gorgeous. definitely feel like the big idiot who couldn't look out the window and see that the sun was shining. rain or shine, you look fabulous as always.

LOVE the skirt.
Oh my gosh that necklace. It is stunning!
I love the mix of a spring skirt made more casual with the boots and white button up. Beautiful and creative!
Love your awkward and awesome's, by the way. I laugh out loud every week :) and I've started doing my own!
Thanks for being such an awesome inspiration!

great little day
Im loving your pig necklace, I have a bunny one. I do not understand the cray-cray or yum-o, I couldn't get myself to use those in a sentence!
http://gandacummings.blogspot.com
I like the outfit a lot, but not the boots...just because Wellies are IN doesn't mean they go with everything!!!! I have seen this mistake being made all over the internet.
what a cute quote at the end. I love that too. How adorable would that be to make a cute print and hang in your home!? Thanks for sharing. xo

Totally get you with the pig necklace, just too cute. If Madewell would just start shipping to Europe, my life would be even better :-)
And love the quote, sounds like a good plan, have figured out it precious, but not so wild anymore as a mama :-)
love from Belgium,

Pig pendant! LEGIT! *Crosses fingers and silently hopes that Madewell ships to Canada.
