while i was there i overheard a woman not so quietly say about my outfit, "that's an interesting combination." but not in a that-documentary-about-nigerian-fruit-flies-was-so-interesting kind of way, but more of a derisive, that-is-ugly-but-i'm-going-to-say-interesting-so-i-don't-sound-like-a-jerk kind of way. which begs the question, is it better to be nice or to be honest? or just quiet? what do you do?
anywhoo, i don't care two figs. i prefer to be any kind of interesting over safe any day.
sweater- old navy
skirt- jcrew
boots- who knows, super old
and then today: in my husband's and ricky bobby's words, i'm formal, but i'm here to party.
my button up is light blue stripes, but it didn't translate very well in pictures.
button up-JCP
sequin tank- miley cyrus and max azria for wal*mart(for $1)
skirt- i don't even know! it just appeared in my closet and i discovered it today! it must be left over from my working in an office days more than 5 years ago.
shoes- steve madden via tjmaxx

OK ... I thought that would be really cool if people really came to our house every Friday night for ice cream ... and I love cold stone. Nigerian fruit flies? hilarious.
You know what? You can pull that outfit off. Not many people can, including me. That's probably why she said it's an "interesting" outfit, because she herself, could not wear it.
You go girl! :)
If it's a stranger, it's better to be nice. If it's a good friend, it's better to be honest - but nicely. She should've just stayed quiet until she and her husband were in the car on their way home. That's what I do.
So yes, it's a different combination and one that I would never, ever wear, but what does that mean? Absolutely nothing. So what if I wouldn't wear it? All that matters is that you would (and did) wear it. And you looked great in it! Girl, you're like Dumbledore - there's no denying you've got style. (Big props to Thomas since I know he'll get that HP reference).
And color me amazed that you've just now experienced Coldstone. Where have you been getting your specialty ice cream before now?
you are such a rocking mom! love you in your ponytail~
vanilla with sprinkles
I would say anything! RUDE she said that outloud! I agree wtih what Natalie said...stanger, shut yo mouth! :) LOVED the bottom outfit! And I love that stream, why haven't you taken more pics nect to it?!?!
nat! i've experience cold stone(and i know i just realized i called it stone cold, it's a weird habit) i've just never had a waffle cone. just another thing frowned upon in the beck family. too much extra moneys.
and nicole, that stream requires an actual person to take my picture, instead of my usual stack of books on a chair pulled outside to act as my tripod. when are you coming to SC to take my pictures?
"interesting" hahahaha -- unfortunately my children only seem to know the negative connotation of the word. as for me i say either be nice or be quiet. and also, how long ago did you get the red pumps from tj??? i have a pair of patent leather red madden girl pumps that have somehow become unwearable (they rub my pinky toe raw whenever i wear them now and i don't know why). but i LOVE me a red shoe, so i NEED to get a new pair.
also, (this is a long comment), but what were your thoughts on hermione's outfits in hp7? we saw it on friday night, and i found myself wondering what you would think about them throughout the entire movie. also, do i know why you are so averse to reading the harry potter series? is it just a matter of principle at this point? a matter of not wanting to jump on everyone else's bandwagon? enquiring minds want to know.
something nice... or nothing at all!

I'm guessing she was a "non-contributing zero." I know the kind. You always look great.
That lady was so silly, you were rockin' it. Probably jealous :) I TOTAL love your second outfit. The top and shoes are adorable.
Be nice or be quiet, for sure. I think you look bold and fabulous! I also LOVE that $1 tank top! What a steal!
The sequins are sexy!
