last night i headed out with some friends for some dinner, frozen yogurt, and mall wandering. at this point in my life, that is a perfectly acceptable, if not desired, saturday night. we all had so much fun sans kiddos, talking and telling stories about our kiddos, life with kiddos. it was a much needed night out, and we even took it up a notch on the middleschool feeling by trying on large hats and getting scolded for taking photos in forever 21.
it was also the mall i grew up going to and haven’t been back to in forever so it was really strange thinking about all the time i spent there back in the day walking around with my friends scoping out cute boys. literally just walking around and around with an orange julius to look at boys. Harper is never allowed to go to the mall.
by the end of the night, my sweater had shed about a trabillion little fuzzies onto my pink pants and i had furry weird pants. sometimes i’m so fancy it hurts.

top: f21 // cardigan and shoes: target // jeans: thrifted
i got these jeans for 4 dollars and they are super comfy. in real life, they don’t look that whiskery. but after seeing photos, i must resign these comfy jeans to the cleaning and at home only pile. oh, i will still wear them. yes i will. just not anywhere anyone can see me. because they are that comfy, like pajamas! pajeggings, if you will.
Harper looked so cute last night. you’ll just have to take my word for it because she refused to be in the photos. she wore a gray polkadotted skirt and her hair was in braided pigtails. it was darling, i promise you that.
we went out for dinner with our closest friends for Doug’s birthday. we hit up Marrow again, one of our favorite places, where they just changed over to their winter menu. i had the bison shortribs with brussel sprouts, Scot had the bone marrow with duck confit. sounds friggin’ fancy, no? it was delicious as always.
i finally got my hands on some lip butter by revlon. target had a few colors left, i picked up the cherry tart and we’re now madly in love. i’ve been wearing rimmel for my bright red for a long time now, but this lip butter is so moisturizing and shiny. going to try out some more colors when i can fo sho.
today we’re off for a coffee run, some grocery shopping, then we’re baking cookies and making valentines for H’s class. tomorrow they are having a teddy bear picnic and they all bring a teddy bear and are going to eat and take them on adventures. if i don’t die of the cute, i should be back here to blog later. if i do die, at least it was for a worthy and noble cause – small humans pretending to eat lunch with teddy bears.

on Harper >> sweater: gymboree, thrifted // jeans: old navy, thrifted // shoes: TOMS. on me >> blouse: f21 // jeans: old navy //shoes: target clearance
any excuse to quote peewee herman, amirite?
Harper picked this outfit out herself and insisted on getting herself dressed. the problem is she is still learning that last part so it usually ends up in tears because she tried to put her head through the arm hole or can’t pull her pants up or whatever. this time was no exception. she was in her room screamcrying and don’t you dare ask her if she would like some help. because she would NOT LIKE ANY HELP IN FACT GO AWAY RIGHT NOW MOMMY. oh joyous day, i cannot wait for the teenage years with this one. how much is wine by the case? there’s a discount for that right?
you can’t see but she is wearing red and black striped socks. i love her choices.
we stepped out to a going away party for our dear friend Matto, as he is moving to portland. this is where i’d say something like “bye Matto, we will miss you!” but he refuses to even come to my blog because he is legitimately offended by the amount of cute that Harper brings. you should see him talk about it, it’s hilarious. he gets mad. about cute. go to portland or something you weirdo.
happy sunday! also knows as superbowl sunday. most importantly known as the day i dance the JIG OF JOY because football has come and gone again. dance dance dance dance
link up buddies!

blurriest photos ever. i guess that is what happens when you have no idea how to actually use your camera. whatever, just pretend you’ve had some wine (hey it’s saturday evening – maybe you have! in which case, enjoy!) and let’s move on. sorry if these made you carsick.
but. green pants!
this whole outfit was much cuter sans coat but it was what felt like 10 degrees outside and i am a huge complainer in the cold (big surprise there) so to spare my husbands eyeballs from extreme side eye pulled muscles, i threw this one on. it brought my number of shades of brown count to 3. which is not ok. but again, you’re drunk right now so it doesn’t really matter.
anywho, we actually stepped out last night to support Tacoma at the Tacoma Social, the first event put on by Camp 6, a culture and style website trying to bring t-town together as a community. we don’t actually live in Tacoma, but we frequent it and think of it as our second home. if you live in the area and are interested in checking it out, here is Camp 6′s site. they are hosting an event each month at different places and it was a great place to meet other creative local people. besides: wine.
after that we went to bree and barhams for a little board game/beer in animal coozie action. it was a fun night with friends. unfortunately, the kidlet has come down with a cold today, but i think the couch and lots of Octonauts are helping. poor nugget.
i’m just making out with a dr. pepper and wearing the coziest sweater i own and rubbing her little back.
oh! i’ve been getting some new reader questions about SOS so i figure i should talk a bit about it. the first rule of SOS is that you don’t talk about SOS. just kidding, that would ruin the whole thing. but seriously, there are no rules! no, you don’t have to step out ON saturday. no, you don’t even have to actually step out anywhere. you can link up your style post from anytime in the week if you’d like, all i ask is that you be sure to link the post in which you are SOSing, not just your main blog url, so people can find your post immediately. and if you’re so inclined, add the SOS button to your post so others can play along. any other questions? oh and be prepared to meet some really nice people – i happen to think the SOS family is the nicest group of people out there.
ok, enjoy the rest of your weekend!
