Another hot day on tap. It seemed like a good day for this fishy print skirt again. It's so lightweight, I knew it would keep me pretty cool and comfortable! I would have liked to have worn a sundress, but I had an OB appt this morning and they needed to measure my belly, so a skirt was a better choice. Everything is right on track and good, can't ask for more than that!
So speaking of fish, while we were up north, one day we spent a good chunk of our day on a pontoon boat and almost everyone fished. There were 9 of us total and we kind of had a fishing contest. While he didn't maybe catch the biggest ones, my dad certainly got the prize for catching the most fish. It seemed everytime his pole hit the water he had one on his line. I got two, one of which was a rock bass so we had to throw it back, but it was pretty impressive to pull out of the water! Eventually it was just too warm for the fish to be biting so we took ourselves to a restaurant where you can just drive up your boat and dock it. It was pretty neat!
Shirt - Old Navy
Skirt - Tandem Vintage
Necklace and sandals - Clothes Mentor
Of course, it seems like our cabin trips are never without some sort of eventfulness. On our way back on the boat we discovered some mechanisms had shorted out that do things like lift the motor out of the water when you go through a no wake zone. So, at one point all nine of us piled into the front of the boat to get through the no wake zone to try and not drag the motor on the ground. Other boaters looked at us like we were crazy - I can only imagine the site of nine people hanging out on the front of a pontoon! We are pretty crazy though, so I guess it makes sense!
I just love this skirt! How can you not love a skirt with brightly colored fish?
ReplyDeleteFishing is a lot of fun but putting the worm on the hook always leaves me a little grossed out, LOL
The fish print is adorable! I'm not a fan of fishing but my hubby loves to fish in the ocean. He hasn't had much luck with it this season though.

Cute skirt! I'm glad your appointment went well this morning!
ReplyDeleteYour fishing and boating adventure is definitely going to be a funny memory! Glad everything went well at the OB!
ReplyDeleteIt is so hot! I have been going between layers and now just a dress! Not the easiest when my work keeps changing how the air conditioner is. Last week they put it up too high, so I was freezing even though it was getting hotter out. Now I think they hit it just right again!
ReplyDeleteYes, Bethie, I would have wondered why all 9 of you were in the front of the boat? Congrats on great report on you and your little son. Cute skirt and it does look comfy. When you due again?
ReplyDeleteHi Beth...glad everything is on track, you look nice and cool in that skirt:)

ReplyDeletehahah loved the pontoon story and I can totally imagine that, too funny! (and too cute an outfit you're wearing!)
ReplyDeleteHaha, fishing and a fish print skirt, I love it! Hope you stay cool and spending the day on a boat sounds fantastic :)
ReplyDelete:) - We are going up north this weekend and I am hoping to eat some fresh fish - though I am not into catching them myself. :) Perfect day for this summery fish skirt! Also - did you happen to get a package from etsy from me yet?
ReplyDeleteThat Skirt with the fish is so cute. I love the print. And it is nice that you are embracing Navy. I don't have as much Navy as I like but when I wear it, I love it. =)
ReplyDeleteHow is the pregnancy going so far, Beth?
Aww fabulous fishie print skirt! Your story reminds me I haven't been on a boat in years, I miss it. My friend's parents had a pontoon and it was so much fun the couple of times I got to go on it.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I like your fish story! But your outfit is what grabbed my attention, love the long length with your sandals...
