No, your eyes do not fool you. I am wearing a striped tank maxi dress. A very clingy, very striped tank maxi dress. And? I blame my mother. We all know that one's mother is their biggest fan. My mother would tell me I looked drop-dead-gorgeous in a burlap sack and four-day-old-hair (and she probably has on more than one occasion). That, my friends, is why one should not take their mother shopping with them.
But? From the compliments I received, it looks like I pulled it off. It was my meager attempt at dressing the part of July 4th Barbecue and an attempt at accessorizing. See: Red stretchy belt. Each of those items was purchased yesterday, at Macy's, for a grand total of less than thirty dollars.
Yes, that would be me. Rockin' on with mah bad self.
Well, Loyals. It has come to my attention that too often I find myself behind the camera and not in front of it. I have approximately 5,438 pictures of Carter and 176 pictures of The Husband and Carter.
I have approximately 15 pictures of Carter and myself. And maybe less of us as a family.
This is something that I'm desperately trying to change. Not only have I been desperate to capture a handful of cute, new "Mommy and Me" pictures but I've been just dying for a new Family Photo to enlarge on canvas and add to our in-the-works gallery wall.
So.. did I accomplish that or what?
Happy Wednesday, Loyals! It looks like we'll be staying for just a bit longer here in Hometown, New Jersey. Don't worry, we'll be home soon!
Look at you rockin' that dress! Your mom wasn't lying it does look great on you. Such a great family pic...definitely canvas worthy :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's fabulous! And I am guilty of not having many photos with myself in them too, working on it also.

ReplyDeleteyou look great, honey! really good.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!!! You DEF pull off the dress beautifully! I feel the same way about pictures...I take them all and never have any of myself. When I do manage to make it into a picture, I'm always so critical of it, that I end up deleting it anyways! ;o) Happy 4th!
