We finally got some nice weather this weekend and seriously, it's about time!! Is it just me, or has the cold winter lingered a little too long and worn out it's welcome. Luckily Sunday was a gorgeous spring day that I've been craving and the perfect day to celebrate all those amazing mommas out there (mine being the best -- of course!).We had a sit down lunch/brunch kinda thing at this restaurant and country inn called {The Stroudsmoor} which was a full out buffet so you can imagine that I did what most people do at a buffet -- got my money's worth. Hence the flowy sundress that allowed for the food/tummy expansion ; )
Outfit Details
Jean jacket: Old Navy {same} // Dress: Old Navy, last season {similar} // Heels: Nine West {similar}
I also have to note, D usually dresses up for family outtings and is typically known for his sharp suits. As we were getting ready for lunch, we was putting on a shirt and tie and me, the fashion blogger, yet considerate girlfriend that I am says, "babe, why don'y you just wear a nice polo shirt and be comfortbale. This place isn't THAT fancy, and it's going to be nice out. So wear short sleeves."
So he does.
And my brother and father (who isn't known for dressing up) both are wearing shirts and ties.
D is mad. I'm at fault.
Oh, the irony.
me and my lovely momma. Don't we look like twins??
Only the best flowers for my momma. Pink peonies are my favorite and their fragrance is amazing.
I also love those full blossoms -- so pretty. And the purple flowers (lilac I think?) are incredibly fragrant as well.
I stole this picture from Jenn at {With Luck Blog} of all the lovely ladies. Jenn is dating my brother Dean, and this was the first time our moms met -- so it was definitely a special day.
I've been so incredibly busy -- I know I mentioned before that my busy season at work is over (at least until September) but for some reason I feel like I can't catch up. Ugh work, you're for the birds. Why can't we have all that free time we used to have in college? I guess that's the life of a working adult. But I digress.
Happy Wednesday all!
