I'm going to put this disclaimer out here right now - I didn't have a great weekend. So I am going to whine a little bit about that. But before I do and in case you don't want to hear my sob story, I'll first talk about this week's Inspiration Monday with two birds and my take on the look they chose. This week's look is from Olivia Palermo.
I did my best to make it work appropriate and my take is far less fun than hers as I do not have any fun colorful shoes like that, but I did my best. Here we go.
Sweater - H&M, thrifted
White blouse - via swap
Pants - Simply Vera, Kohls
Shoes - Mossimo, consignment
Necklace - gift
And now on to my sob story. Basically it boils down to this - having a sick husband and a teething child at the same time is simply not fair. And that is what I was dealing with this weekend. The Pants Monkey has a bad cold and Mr. Oliver is still teething - I swear these teeth must be coming in from Rome, they sure are taking their sweet time. So between those two things, I felt like the Universe was kind of having it's way with me. I need a vacation.
On top of that, I got a rejection letter for something I applied for - not work related, but it doesn't really matter what - and it just kind of made me go "what am I doing here?" (and then my head goes "with Fatty and Spotty and Fatty and Spotty" because apparently I live in an episode of Black Books - if you've never watched that show, it's on Hulu right now, go watch now. You won't regret it). I'm over it now, but it is no fun getting that kind of news when the world is already pushing you down.
The bright spots of my weekend were going to a baby/kid consignment sale (the same sale I went to when I was still pregnant) and finding lots of new clothes that will fit for Oliver and then getting a ton of stuff washed in my awesome new washer and dryer. The new washer and dryer are so awesome! And they play music when they finish which is just too adorable.
Anyway, the TL;DR version of this post is, I had kind of a crummy weekend, but it's Monday, it's a new day and we're moving on! For more Inspiration Monday looks, hit up two birds over here. Back to your regularly scheduled happy Bethie tomorrow. I hope!
