cloudy days

It has been one cloudy week here in Springfield! Personally, I love the cloudy days. They inspire me, make me feel cozy, and it's as if the world has slowed down for a moment. Most of all, it makes me want to be in a deer stand with my Daddy waiting for my next target! Those are the moments I live for. 

I love fur! I'm currently searching for a faux fur coat. I know some people think they can't pull off fur but YOU CAN! I don't think fur is only made for some. God made fur for all! It's not like nude leggings, which in that case, NO ONE should ever try, ha!  

I don't know if you noticed but I added a little detail to my boots. My husband and I made leather journal covers last night and I decided it was only right to use the left overs for some boot detail. I just took a strand of leather and wrapped it around the boot three times and tied it! Easy peasy! I was happy with the outcome :)  

Lastly, I was so excited my cousins came into town this weekend! We all went to church together, ate lunch, and went to the coolest store ever, Bass Pro! Drake was attached to Josh's hip the whole time and I'm pretty sure he was ok with it :) I love that little man! 

Have a great week! 18 days until Christmas!

I'm not the best at getting dressed up but I figured Mother's Day would be a good day to get all fancied up! This dress and belt from Francesca's was the perfect fit. It's simple, it's  pretty, but most importantly it's comfortable. I despise being dressed up and uncomfortable. But as my Momma always said, "beauty is pain". So over the years I've suffered through for an amazing pain of heels or that LBD that you can barely breathe in. You know you've done it! Let's face it, it was usually worth it in the end. And it shows our true womanhood. Men couldn't do it, that's for sure.

Its going to be a great week! I look forward to what's ahead...  

love,
