friday casual.

tgif.

just a super casual friday outfit that i always feel good in...my denim flares and a button up [or is it button down?].

at one point i couldn't get enough of gingham ones in particular, but they were sold out everywhere. they seem to be hitting the shelves again at gap and j. crew and old navy.

another busy weekend ahead. movies on the big screen in the yard tonight...think blankets, popcorn, and hot chocolate. then saturday i'm participating in relay for life with the girls. we'll be walking to honor cancer survivors and those we have lost. one of our classmates recently lost her battle with breast cancer. to learn more about the event, feel free to check out my page here. and sunday is all about the minis...swim, tutoring,

and singing classes.

what's up for your weekend?

afternoon sun.

last week i mentioned that sunday mornings were my days to take photos for the blog. well, that went out the door since signing up mini-he for back-to-back swimming and tutoring lessons on sundays. now i really have no idea when i'll be able to take photos. bear with me the next few weeks as we settle into our new schedules. mini-she goes back to school tomorrow as well.

luckily we had an opportunity on saturday afternoon to snap a few pictures. the sun was fussy...either too bright or hiding behind the clouds, but certain shots hilighted the

gold tones in this necklace perfectly.
