I cannot tell a lie - usually. This is what I wore to Mass on both Friday night and on Saturday night (because in case your e-brethren did not remind you on Facebook or Twitter or the internet -- you! better! not! have! only! gone! to! one! Mass! you! heathen!) and in between and I think I ran with a vestless and bootless version for my nighttime clothes. I think. Things got wild and we went to two different churches and had the absolute pleasure of not taking the kids to Mass on Friday which was the perfect combo of weird and glorious. I hope we can do it again one day.
At the Mass we did take the kittens to .. Julia removed her coat and boots promptly upon arrival into our pew and sang a beautiful ode to Dora while lovingly gazing at a statue of Mary - she didn't even let Sebastian's new trick (bucking like a bronco) break her focus and concentration. I asked her to fold her hands together on the way up to communion and she clasped them behind her back and held on for life. I know, I know ... I smell a vocation too.

Linking up with the lovely ladies over at Fine Linen and Purple and I hope you do the same.
ohmygoodness, please can Julia become a nun?!? Is there a St. Dora that she can take as her nun name?
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. I'm getting brown boots for Christmas so you can expect a healthy dose of creeping on your 'fits come December 26th-ish.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Simon's term is highly clinical or at least I use it all the time in a clinic. Same thing, right?
snicker, snicker, snicker says the heathen...seriously? how did I not realize Saturday's solemnity and HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION until today? Mama needs an RCIA 'fresher and clearly I barely touched the net all weekend. ..
ReplyDeletegreat dress, looks super comfy and the boots, well, just awesome. as boots are.
Cute! And I think we do have the same boots. I wear them with everything, don't know what I'm going to do when they wear out (they sadly already have a few loose threads).
ReplyDeleteI wore the same outfit to mass yesterday and today too (except a different sweater). Yes.
Going to Mass without the children every once in awhile IS glorious!!
ReplyDeleteI am not pregnant, or even married for that matter but I want to order that tunic so bad, it looks so comfortable!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed~ that tunic looks fabulous!
DeleteI am puffer-vestless. Isn't that a tragedy? Clearly as in order to look as good as you I would NEEEEEEED one. Need!
ReplyDeleteI wish it got cold enough here to warrant a puffer jacket. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHaha I am sure it wasn't funny at the time but it is humorous reading your story now. Your children sound like sweet kids! And of course, you look stylish as always!
ReplyDeleteFine. I did it. I ordered the tunics. Kudos for letting us know they're on sale!
ReplyDeleteCute!! Are you perhaps the cutest and most stylish pregnant lady ever? I think so! Great look. My kids were beeeeeeeeasts at church yesterday too. Perhaps going twice in the same day just did them in.
ReplyDeleteTom calls Ryder a douche when he's in his moods. i prefer jerk. either way, glad to know we're not alone!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's it. I need more vests.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I BAHAed at the last line. Ba. Ha'ed.
Ha! Our kids are "pain in the butt-cheeks" in my husband's parlance.
ReplyDeleteAh love this outfit and thanks for the tip on the tunic I think I need to buy that for my baby bump asap! What color is yours?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love that tunic. And your boots.
ReplyDeleteOk I am in need of some leggings are those maternity or regular leggings. I guess I should just go shopping.
ReplyDeleteThat's one versatile outfit! ;) And as usual, you look great! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love your tunic and boots!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not pregnant, but I'm so tempted to just buy up these tunics so that when I am I have cute, comfy clothes to wear! What a great deal! Love your look.

I love this - boots, leggings, tunic, scarf, AND a puffer vest??? Oh yes!
ReplyDeleteOnly made it to one Mass this weekend. Wore jeans and a tee shirt. The tee shirt had smeared babyfood on the shoulder, and would had benefitted tremendously from the addition of a puffy vest.
ReplyDeleteI have placed myself on WIWTM timeout until my wardrobe can behave nicely.
You look amazing, Grace! I love that tunic with your boots! I have a puffer vest (mine's navy, too) that I wear all the time, but I've never paired it with a dress--you're inspiring me here!
ReplyDeletehahaha! i wish you took a pic of julia. bet that would've been so cute.
ReplyDeleteit's post-naptime around here and i have my kids drinking hot cocoa and parked in front of little einstiens so that i can have a little more "me" time--which includes your blog and several old posts of "simon-says." thanks for giving me a little adult conversation(ish) this afternoon!!
