so i was looking back at my original capsule wardrobe post to see everything laid out at once & maybe get some fresh ideas for outfits...and realized...i chose like 30 tops for my capsule wardrobe. um. so i could basically wear a different shirt every day of the month & never repeat. i mean, i guess that's good but it's really not what i was wanting in a capsule wardrobe. note to self: pick less tops for fall. more mixing & layering.
my 31-day capsule wardrobe adventure:
hey, so let's kick off week 3 with day 3 of wearing THE jean vest because it looks good WITH EVERYTHING.
week 3
saturday: i sit here at 11 p.m. finally posting about our day. it's been a 12-hour day for back-to-school-shopping. even though we weren't getting much, there are still 3 littles getting ready for the school year & each had specific needs on their list. i think this whole capsule thing is spilling over to their wardrobes, too, because i've been very particular with what i'm looking for with each one. it may have taken us a little longer today, but we found what we (i) really wanted.
because i knew i'd be on my feet all day, i chose my birks. also, if you haven't noticed, yet, i also love hats. i can remember the first hat (a thrifted grey wool golf hat) that i fell in love with in college...that's when my love affair with hats truly began.

sunday: i may fall asleep before i get today's entry done. we started at church this morning & had a fun little shower for a new baby momma. then olive, emma & i left with our youth group for putt putt & laser tag. we didn't get back until evening. olive & i are tired & grumpy.
and hats for life.
3 cheers for an outfit sans jean vest.

monday: we tried to not do anything for as long as possible today but eventually had to get some errands done. i had a great pic of the back of this outfit & apparently deleted it (why am i so bad about that?!) but it showed the shirt knotted in the back which works great when layering.

tuesday: last-minute dentist visit for all 3 older kiddos which means a 2 1/2-hour drive. hubs is working so my mom came along & held a hungry olive while i floated around all 3 during their appointments trying to be everyone's cheerleader. i mean, isn't that what we all want during a dentist appointment--someone to tell us how amazing we are holding our mouths open. somehow it always made me feel better.

wednesday: we had a final-day-of-freedom lunch with nanna & ice cream after dinner with mawmaw. laid out our clothes for school & packed our book bags. prayed over the babies. and pretended to sleep.

friday: today was the first day doing school drop off solo with baby + 2 littles. our oldest had meet the team this night for volleyball. (full disclosure: i did change before meet the team because it was blazing hot & i preferred to sweat in a tank top.) the morning was particularly cool & kennedy and i squealed with glee.
