We decided to celebrate Father's Day on Saturday by heading to the baseball game. Added bonus was that the Atlanta Braves were playing the Texas Rangers, and my mom, who is still visiting, is a huge Rangers fan. It was hot and humid, so I wore the only pair of shorts that I've made. You've seen them before. With the added excitement of a 2 hour rain delay, we really got our money's worth.
The aliens were ready to land.
Top: Ann Taylor
Shorts: Kwik Sew 3614
Convenient that both the Braves and the Rangers wear blue and red. The drunk girl sitting next to me snapped this pic. Can you see my navy shorts? The top is from Ann Taylor, but I did hem it.
After the rain.

Father's Day, and my mom, Roland and I headed to church. So, here's a problem with any wardrobe, me made or RTW. When you go on vacation and eat too much, nothing really fits when you get home. This dress is no exception, and has the added problem of being extremely overfitted, especially across the bust. You can see the dress in a better fitting day here. The white cardigan was a defense against the A/C, and I really love the little green Coach purse with the pink.
Dress: Butterick 5353
Just home from church, and the dress was quickly exchanged for a complete RTW outfit.

This top. Oh, I want to love it. I want to even like it, but even with wearing a tank underneath, I was fussing with it all day. I do like how it looks with the white skirt, which is from the now defunct Harolds. This was at the end of a long day of shopping, but the skirt was *ahem* just as wrinkled when I put it on.
It's ironic that I bought quite a lot of stuff at the Talbot's sale today, but there are still some gaps in my wardrobe.

Surprise! To balance out the RTW from Talbots, mom and I went to Whipstitch to spend the Groupon I had purchased earlier this year. (paid $20 for $40* worth of merchandise... woo hoo!!)
*If you think there is more than $40 worth of merch there, you would be right.
Loving the Elle-Wear! Can't wait to hear what that yummy stack of fabric will become :D. And last, but not least, your Mom sure is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteLove the Butterick 5353 dress - I was hoping to see it again on you as I adore the pink floral fabric!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the stadium, and you and your Mom really look like your having some great fun. I love days like that!
I really like the dress. You must have selected a good pic as it doesn't look too tight in the photo.
ReplyDeleteI love your blue top but I know what you mean about fussing with it all day. Some tops are just meant to be fussed with :)
