Two Skirts Make One Outfitt

20120425-074147.jpg

A long time ago, I wrote a post and in that post I wore a skirt as a dress. In one of the comments a reader challenged me to wear two skirts in one outfit. (I apologize, I don’t remember what post or who the reader was. If it was you. please let me know.) Well, better late than never. I did it folks! This outfit is compromised of two skirts. One belted as a tunic length top, maybe even a little peplum styled, and one pencil skirt worn as intended.

What do you think? I’m not sure exactly how I feel about the outfit. However, I felt it worked out alright. Better than I thought it would for working two skirts into one outfit. I will say my favorite part is the shot of purple from the pencil skirt, and the Banana Republic ankle boots.

Dedicated

baby dedication, family picture, familyLast weekend Nate and I had baby Jazz dedicated at our church. I don’t have any great outfit pictures from this weekend, but I liked my outfit. Sharing these pictures is the best way I can show off my outfit, and my family. It was a nice time together with family too. After we left church we went out to eat with our families, and Lyla got to spend a little extra time with her cousin. She loves that little guy.

After lunch, we headed back home and I was able to enjoy a refreshing nap. That doesn’t happen very often. Usually, if anyone gets to nap on Sunday it isn’t me. I’m usually busy with laundry, cleaning, or taking care of whichever kiddo didn’t take a nap while Nate sleeps.family, baby dedicationfamily

Water Colors Skirt

Don’t get me wrong I do get dressed. I just don’t get the chance to take pictures very often.water colors skirt, ann taylor loft blouse, colored tights, silver flats

I really like this skirt. The colors are so pretty, and the tights are a good match. I originally wanted to wear this with a pair of my heeled boots. However, I opted for the Lucky’s silver ballet flats. I didn’t want to juggle the car seat, wrangle in a 3 year old, and navigate in heels with it being so windy out.

Once Upon A Time

plaid shirt, khaki skirt, yellow tights, black bootsOnce upon a time a mother woke up while both of her children were still sleeping. She was wide awake, and took the time to do some reading all alone. She thought that, because, she was so awake now she would get around to her work later.

She went about getting breakfast ready for the oldest, and setting up something to keep her entertained while she nursed the baby. As she nursed the youngest she could feel her eyes become heavy. Her son drifted off after eating till he was content. the mother had great plans of getting a blog post written, and maybe even visiting some of her favorite blogs. However, none of that was going to happen. All three characters cuddled up under the covers and took a much needed nap.

Apple Jack Festival & Arbor Lodge Park

sweatshirt, skirt, boots at the Apple Jack FestivalLast weekend was the Apple Jack Festival in Nebraska City. My sister, her boyfriend, Nate, and I made the drive up to Nebraska City for their yearly Apple Jack Festival. We walked around Arbor Day Farms, checking out the craft fair and the barns. They have so many yummy apple treats from caramel apples and pies, to apple wines and apple cider. Despite the cold, damp day I decided to enjoy an apple cider slushy. Must say it was a cold decision, but very tasty!Gap Sweatshirt

After trekking all over the farms we headed into town to take a peak at a couple other things Nebraska City had going on for the Apple Jack Festival. We went to the Factory Stores to take a look at the flea market booths they had set up. We also went to the Cincinnati House that is home to a little antique shop. They had a lot of political memorabilia, but in the upstairs level I found my piece of treasure. I found a cute green rocking chair that is just perfect for the nursery. Best part is was the inexpensive price tag, and the fact that it doesn’t squeak one bit! Doesn’t hurt it is comfy too!Arbor Lodge Park sweatshirt, umbrella, skirt, boots

When done in town we went back towards the farm, and decided to take pictures at the Arbor Lodge Park. We wanted to walk around the Morton family mansion, but didn’t have the cash on hand to take the tour. It is probably for the best. I usually prefer to do the exploring on my own anyway. The four of us decided to hit the trail around the park instead. We all had varying footwear, and I was the only one that had shoes that worked best for the sometimes non existent trail. Thankfully, nobody fell down or twisted an ankle. Our only dangerous run in was Austin almost being attacked by a squirrel. This left us doubled over in laughter for several minutes before we could finish up the trail.pattern skirt, boots, sweatshirt

All in all the Apple Jack Festival was a lot of fun despite the rain. This weekend if the baby hasn’t already made its arrival we will be heading up to the Barn Festival in Hastings, NE. Do you attend any fall festivals? Which ones?hiking in a skirtsisters
