ladylike

my 2nd most favorite thing that my grandma bonnie has ever said to me was the day she declared, "heidi, if you would just act like a lady you would almost be perfect." that was almost as good as the day she spied my bellybutton ring and said, "if my stomach was that flabby i wouldn't be showing it to anybody!" grandma bonnie is one of my heroes. no joke.

in honor of grandma bonnie and my dear, long-suffering mother, ladylike was my goal for today.

i'm too sexy for this face.

while i do like being ladylike i also look forward to the moment after you take off your dress and heels you can go back to being yourself who eats frosting straight out of the tub with a baby spoon in the glow of the refrigerator light.

Hold up. There is a Kristin Davis for TJMaxx line?? Where have I been?! Obviously not TJMaxx recently. Those shoes are ladylicious. Grandma Bonnie would be proud.

Your mother is a Lady, that's for sure.
Forget about the frosting, I just rediscovered Nutella during my last Costco trip. I had forgotten how delicious it is. On Everything.

Our Grandmas sound like they were MFEO! Mine brushed the hair out of my eyes when I was nine and told me, "You really might be pretty one day if you quit making all those faces". HA!
Grannies are the best.

Your grandmother sounds lie a HOOT! I think you look every bit the lady in your lovely dress! ~Serene

i think you always look like a lady because in my book a lady is someone who is put together. and you ALWAYS look put together! (p.s. i love your little lady in training in the bottom pic -- her dress looks adorable!).

You grandma sounds amazing. And you pulled off ladylike perfectly. I love the dress. The color really suits you.

Love all of your gorgeous printed dresses.
If I only had a penny for every time my mom begged me to be more ladylike :)

Grandma Bonnie sounds kind of awesome. Love that dress! It's so pretty. And it's fantastic the way you've belted it and added a cardi. Great look!
