what i wore sunday ~ vol. 47
Happy Sunday!
This is going to be a quick post. I promise to write a longer update tomorrow. I wanted to just make sure that everyone knew we are doing well, the van is working like a champ, we are still in the appeals process with insurance for the AFO’s (the leg braces Court needs to walk), and we are still accepting donations for those. If we do get insurance coverage, whatever is leftover from the donations (after our co-pay) will go toward the adaptive equipment that we will begin getting Courtney fitted for in May (ie. new wheelchair, “comfy” chair for home and possibly, God willing, a new hospital bed).
You can use the PayPal button in the right hand column if you wish to donate. Thanks to all who have already given. Thanks to all who pray everyday. I am just so thankful.
God is so very good ALL the time.
Today Miss Courtney is celebrating her monthly visit from the “Yay, I am a Woman Fairy” and is struggling a bit with the cramping, especially in her lower back. She got a nice warm bubble bath this morning and is all bundled up in her favorite soft jammies and her Eyeore socks.
She will be home with Daddy tonight while I go to Mass and Youth Ministry. She can’t handle being her her wheelchair or sitting upright for too long on these special days. She prefers to be curled up in a ball. I don’t blame her one bit.
I did get a decent shot with her and Papa. She had just gotten her morning dose of Advil and was feeling a little better. She had a pleasant “semi-smile” on her face.
I wish I could be in my jammies for the day. It sounds delightful don’t you think?
My outfit for Mass is a pretty simple one. The dress is from Land’s End, purchased on the 40% off rack at Sears. It’s an empire waist which is really flattering on me with my “apple” shape. I paired it with a JCrew sweater that I have had for a few years now. I love the blast of royal blue and kelly green. I wear it a lot. The jewelry is from Lane Bryant, again purchased during a HUGE sale, and the shoes are Steve Madden from DSW, in my favorite shade of emerald green.
I hope you all have a fabulous day. It’s a beautiful one here in Northern VA. I actually decided not to wear pantyhose, so I apologize for blinding you with my Irish legs.
Wowza, can you say spray tan! LOL! Of course I had to leave you with one out take. My hubby was teasing me about my fair skin. Here is what I told him…
Take that Okie Boy! I know your sceered…real sceered. I always want to leave my readers with the truth. There you have it.
Blessings one and all,
What a beautiful color on you! Lookin' good! 🙂 God bless! (Also I love the new bloggy look – if it's new. It's been a while since I've been here.)
Thanks so much Iris. Yes, the new blog look is just a few weeks old and I love it. Nice to "see" you again. Hope all is well.
That blue looks awesome on you! And, I'm not an apple shape, but my oldest daughter is (she's 12), so can I admit that I actually take some fashion inspriation from you in helping her pick out clothes (things like empire waist dresses). Of course she's only 12, but she is also as tall as me and wearing adult sizes.
Amelia I am so happy that I can help in any way. It's a tough shape to dress at times but you really can find some nice inexpensive things. You just have to make sure you have her try them on. I find lots of styles I am attracted to on the hanger thinking they will work on me and boy am I wrong once they are on. Happy Shopping!!
Hahaha! I'm also freakishly white. I wear sunscreen religiously year round so my whole self is that blinding white 🙂 I have to confess that I thought you were wearing white tights! Pale sisters unite! 😀
No white hose here. Just very pale legs. LOL! We need a fan club. LOL!
Mary, you look beautiful!
Blessings Michele. Thank you.
The blue and green combo look great on you! I love the outtake! 🙂
Sometimes the outtakes are the best ones. LOL!
I love your blues and greens. The dress is VERY cute and I love the empire waist. Best of all were your silly face photos. Made me smile!
Thanks Laura. I always feel so self conscious "posing". My answer is to goof off. LOL!
I love the whole entire outfit from head to toe. I feel like I need to recreate it in its entirety. Gor-JUS.
Love the outfit Mary! The blues and greens work really well together!
Really like the outfit, you look great!! And that darn monthly visitor, gets the best of us sometimes
You look super in blue and I love that necklace! Gotta love those Lands End clearance racks at Sears!
