Sunday Best: Knotted

elephant top: Forever 21, dress: Kohl's, sandals: Head Over Heels, purse: Smith's, shades: Kohl's, earrings: Target


I remember singing the song "Do Your Ears Hang Low" when I was little and thinking how it was so silly. I mean, of course I can't tie my ears in a knot or a bow. 

However, I can tie my shirt in a knot. This is a trend I want to like but it still makes me feel uneasy. Whenever I knot a button up with a pair of jeans, I can't help but feel like some ridiculous Mormon-version of Daisy Duke. 

But I tried the knotted look with a baggy t-shirt over a dress and I thought it was kind of fun. What's more fun than a dress of many colors paired with a knotted elephant print tee? Nothing. 

Except amusement park rides. And slip-n-slides. And rodeos. And driving really fast. Okay, maybe there are lots of things that are more fun. 

But still, I think I found a way to tie-it-in-a-knot-tie-it-in-a-bow without feeling like a weirdo. And really my shirt was just wrinkled and I was too lazy to iron. So I thought, "What the heck? I'll wad it up and tie it in a knot."  

Any takes on tying your shirts up in knots? How do you style it?

Best Photobomb Ever


Meet my aunt Amy; marathon runner, dessert-making master, and pro goofball.

Have a great weekend. I'll be spending mine with BWell, celebrating two years of marriage. We're old fogies now.

The Worst Happy Day


I had someone tell me that when their son entered the MTC, it was the worst happy day ever. I completely understand what she meant now.

I can't wait to get his letters and hear about his adventures. It will be so good.

And every time I start to miss him a little, I'll just wear my California shirt.
