This weekend we stepped out and took my dad to lunch in honor of his birthday. Steak
and shrimp and two sweet little granddaughters: what a better way to spend a
birthday?! Isabelle wore a blazer my mother-in-law gave her for Christmas and Brees
wore her furry Minnie Mouse jacket. I was inspired by Mandy from Juggling Chic last
week and how she managed to style a short sweater. After birthing two babies, there are
just certain tops that now hit me at a very unflattering place on my hips, making me shy
away from ever wearing them. But, when layered over a button-up and adding a
funky layering twist, I suddenly was able to breath new life into my short shirt
wardrobe. And this, my friends, is one of the beautiful things about blogging:
gaining inspiration from real life women. Body issues? I have them, just like everyone
else. But then a simple idea like layering comes to mind and I suddenly feel as
beautiful as every single one of us should. Cheers to that!
