what we wore wednesday

it's that time again--another week of what we wore.

in case you don't know what this is...lindsey over at the pleated poppy started posting pictures of what she wore hoping it would help her be accountable and get out of living in sweats every day. she started this little linky party where lots of people link up what they've been wearing. because if you know people are going to see you, you put a little more thought into what you wear, right?
so that was just a little background in case you're wondering why we post pictures of ourselves every week!
stop by the pleated poppy and jewelscapes to see more :)

thoughts:
*i am the most un-photogenic person i know
*my favorite colors are obviously green & brown
*i have got to figure out something to do with my hair...fast
*when my sister cleans out her closet...yay me!
*i find really cute things at goodwill & resale shops

thanks for stopping by and for all your sweet comments!

what you get for $42.50 at a resale shop...

i stopped by my favorite resale shop--crissa's closet--yesterday while i was out buying cat food.
(isn't it fortuitous that my vet is right around the corner from the resale shop?)
just wanted to show some of my great deals and encourage everyone if you don't go to thrift stores, resale shops or goodwill to get going!!
i just read a neat article on yahoo (but can't find it now) about how more and more people are shopping at thrift stores, etc. and finding great name brand/designer items. when i can get an armload of clothes for the price of one blouse--i'm there!

so...
here are the two skirts i got.
the one of the left is ann taylor and was $6.
the one on the right is banana republic and was $7.

how i love sweaters!
blue one--gap--$3
red one--ann taylor loft--$3
green one--old navy--$3
(these are much cuter on and are all fitted--not baggy and loose.)

cute bag--no name--$4
beige belt--$1.50
black leather belt--$4

brown tee--mossimo--$4
tweed jacket--ambition--$7

thoughts:
*it's apparent that i love brown
*i cant wait to wear that jacket--the back of it is so cute
*i am more than ready for winter

i am so over it--i just want to get on with winter. i am totally a "summer" girl--but i've really been wanting winter this year. (maybe it's all the cute sweaters i've found recently!)

our fun weekend

we had such a fun (and exhausting) weekend with this precious girl.
danielle and mike went on an anniversary trip--so mckinlee, mom and i got to babysit all weekend.
(i forgot how tiring taking care of a baby is!)

this was my favorite picture i took of sadie belle this weekend.

i love this picture of me and sadie

and this one cracks me up!

sadie realized mimi was eating a cookie and had to have some!

i love how she crawls all over the house now.

mck is a fabulous baby-sitter! she and sadie watched many baby einstein's together.

my mom--posing in the kitchen
