~Easy like Sunday morning~

I love Sundays!  Well our Sunday mornings aren't exactly easy considering we teach pre-k for the 1st service at our church then attend 2nd service. Afterwards comes the easy part. We always eat Sunday lunch at my parent's then head home for whatever the day brings us!! Easy, right??!!!

Today was one of those days! We went to church, had lunch at momma's then came home. We spent the afternoon outside enjoying the beautiful spring weather. I had dressed in layers, which is kind of an essential for GA weather.  Seeing as how when I went into church it was a bit chilly and when I came out of church I had to come out of my jacket it had gotten very hot!!

                                                 Green Army jacket-Papaya clearance last year
                                                        White flowy blouse- hand me down from my sis
                                                             skinny jeans- Old Navy clearance in Dec.
                                                                brown sandals- hand me downs
                                                             necklaces- American Eagle 2 years ago
                                                          bracelet Ny & Company clearance forever ago
                                                                   Rings- flea market find
yeah so basically 50% of my outfit was hand me downs, hey ain't no shame in my game!!! Perfect pieces  for a perfect outfit for a lazy Sunday Afternoon!! Now if you will excuse me I'm going to spend the rest of the evening on my hammock with that wonderful hubby of mine!!!

Whatta day

So one of my partners in this "thriftygrlchallenge" happens to be the mom of the most adorable 4 yr. old  (my nephew) in the WORLD!!!!!! Seriously the kid is so cute! One day last year my sister & he came in the house from work/school & he walked over to his dad. Then he kind of plopped down & said" whatta day". Too Cute and the fact that he even realized that sometimes at the end of the day that is all you can say !!!!

Our last couple of weeks have been like that. We are busy & have had a whole" hubby's truck got stolen" episode on top of work and sports and kids in general and the list goes on!!

. So this morning I pulled this black shirt dress out of my closet that I had inherited from my baby sis last summer. No ironing,  add some cute wedges & we were good people!! I wish it was always that easy, but I am thankful today it happened to be. I like easy clothes especially when trying to find something to wear to work feels like one more thing I have to do!! So with the help of some hand me downs & a good classic pair of sandals my morning was saved, as for the rest of it....Whatta Day!!!!

 Gap shirt dress, purse- my own, payless clearance wedges last Aug
