the faux little black dress

 {tee: nordstrom rack, skirt: costco, belt: stradivarius, shoes: nordstrom rack (for a penny!!!!), necklace: target, bracelets: everywhere.}

My days have been chock full of fun and especially of shopping.  My mom and I have been driving all over creation (or at least Metro Detroit) to stock Mr. F and me up on useful items for our new home and things we just can't find very well in Cyprus,  things like paper cutters, staple guns, and deodorant.  Knowing that I would be returning with so much loot, I very cautiously packed light.  The few clothing items I did bring I limited to my favorites and stuff that could be worn in multiple scenarios.  This meant keeping in mind casual and mildly formal occasions.

Enter the black pencil skirt and the black tee.  The tee I wear more often than I would like to admit (thank goodness for laundry!)  and the skirt has just been flat out useful.  One day I wanted to look a little more put together than my limited wardrobe was starting to make me feel so I paired these two together and cinched them together with my favorite belt and before I knew it I had an on-the-go little black dress.  It made for one crazy comfortable ensemble to get me through church.



Note to future self, however, lower v-neck tees are not conducive to excessive baby cuddling.  As soon as the baby shimmies, so does the shirt, and pretty soon you've got some revealing undergarments that should probably stay hidden.  I'll definitely take that into account next time I get to play with 3 babies at once.

Note to current self, Mr. F (who I haven't seen in over two weeks now...) saw the last picture and called me a fox.  I think I need to wear this outfit more often when he's around....  I'm just sayin'...
