Grey Days

This outfit was just posted on the weekly Reader's Outfits over at the Effortless Anthropologie blog. Details:

Rosie Neira "Pinafore Pullover" Sweater - Anthropologie

 

Lili's Closet "Gilga" Tank - Anthropologie (note: I think making a lace ruffle tank like this might be an interesting DIY project)

 

A.N.A. Jeans - JCP (watched a story this morning about how JC Penney has been transforming itself - new leader is from Apple - interesting)

 

Bear Trap Boots - Macy's (Christmas gift from last year)

 

Hoop Earrings - vintage

I took this pictures while on a break at work on Tuesday. Little did I know how the next few days would go. I got home to a sick little boy - a day before we were meant to travel for the holiday. He seemed fine on Wednesday, as were we, so we went along with our plans. Long story short, one by one we all started getting the stomach ick - Jon first, then me, then my parents. I didn't get to see my Grandparents because they couldn't risk getting sick. I believe my brother got it too, and who knows who else. Needless to say, it was not a very good Thanksgiving for us. We headed back home yesterday - a day early - and now that we are here I feel lots of disappointment and sadness. Had I known how things were going to go, I guess we probably would have just stayed home and spared everyone else.

The only thing I can do now is look ahead and hope that Christmas is better...... that we will be able to see and visit with everyone then, and that we are all healthy!
