Can you dig deep into the archives of your razor sharp memory and remember my unfortunate culotte purchase?
I know you can.
After finally folding the Kilimanjaro of all Kilimanjaros of cold laundry this morning, I found and remembered it too. I carried the kids downstairs, turned a blind eye as they played with forbidden treasures (toilet water and toilet paper) and transformed the wannabe skort into a skirt.
And then I put it on slightly crooked and took a photo with the sun hitting the front seam just right so that you can't exactly see it screaming, "I used to be ginormous shorts!!!"
And then I valiantly rescued Sebastian from Julia who was so smartly using a cup to very efficiently transfer the water over onto his unamused and nearly drowned face.

Grace, I just want to say "thank you" from the bottom of my heart for your blog posts. I am the first-time mommy to a 2 month old little boy, and if it weren't for your rants, confessions, and hilarious descriptions, I would feel like I am the only one who has moments of insanity. (Moments? I meant whole mornings.) You sound like a wonderful mother and thank you for your honesty!
ReplyDeleteCute! You're so good at that. I wish I had the patience, and a sewing machine, and a giant pair of culottes to transform as well. Btw, gave you a shout out on the blog today...:)
ReplyDeletethank you for checking off "belly laugh" on my list of things to-do today. what an unfortunate situation turned into brilliance.
ReplyDeletePlease teach me how to sew! You're amazing at it and I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteLoooove. Perfect for summer. And seriously you cannot see the center seam at. all. Great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat the frack?! How did you make those things so cute?! Damn people with sewing skills!
ReplyDeletei WANT that skirt. it looks so comfy and perfect for any and every event.
ReplyDeleteYay! SUPER cute! All of your alterations make me totally inspired to raid my local thrift joints and "sew crazy" :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Also, you are very funny.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! You are so talented :)
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome - and I had to click back to the O.G. post just to re-live the big "reveal"...and I'm still dying of laughter!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a love/hate with your before and afters. I love because it looks great, obv. I hate because you always look great... even in the before... even in the culottes... to the point that I think your before is the after, and I become confused. I should be humiliated, and maybe I am.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! Seriously, you should start a show transforming ugliness into awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteIs it pathetic that I've been thinking about this ever since you posted the culottes pic, and have wondering whether and hoping you would turn them into a skirt and then post about it? And that I'm now all a-flutter because it looks even better than I imagined? Or, if not simply pathetic, is that stalker-scary? Or...awesome?
ReplyDeleteWow! You did a great job - I need some of your sewing skills. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely sense of style and a beautiful blog! Please check out mine, maybe we can follow each other?:)
ReplyDeleteI tried to bathe Ellen in the shower this morning and almost drowned her. Oops.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the skirt, but, for the record, you totally rocked those hammer shorts.
