What I Wore Sunday-- channeling my inner Kate Middleton





Hi everybody!  Linking up for another edition of What I Wore Sunday with the wonderful women at Fine Linen and Purple.

It has been cold here.  Super cold.  And after living in the sunny and warm desert of Las Vegas for four years, my body is in shock.  Get me back to the desert-- QUICKLY!

As a result, I've been wearing lots of skirts and dresses with boots to church, but it's getting too cold I tell you.  Too cold.

So, I'm trying to find new ways to wear pants to church without looking like I'm going to work. 

Today, I tried to emulate another lady who lives in a cold, damp city-- Kate Middleton.

Mike bought me red skinny jeans for Christmas, and I am the queen of blazers, so I thought I'd try to recreate a similar outfit.  Here's my attempt.


it may be sunny, but it sure is cold


The details:

black blazer: Banana Republic (part of my job interview/funeral suit)
fancy ruffled t-shirt: J. Crew (I need a new one)
red skinny jeans: J. Crew



And I have to give credit where credit is due.  All 3 littles were AWESOME at mass today!  So we promptly took them to... 
 
 
 


yummo


I got a jelly donut in case you were wondering.

It's going to be a great day.  I can feel it.

Happy Sunday everyone! 

Go check out all the other great outfits at Fine Linen and Purple!

  1. I wore red, black and white today too but I am loving your version much better. I have a black blazer and am kicking myself for not thinking of wearing it instead of the suffocating sweater I wore instead. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll be wearing my black blazer with my red skinnies real soon!

  6. You look gorgeous! I wish I could pull off these skinny pants...no way!
    So, if you are the queen of blazers, can you give some suggestions on the best places to find great ones??? I only have one, bit I LOVE it and wear it to death.

  7. You look amazing! I'm starting to feel convicted about the colored jeans thing. I have to wait until things are aaaaaaaaaaalmost out of fashion before I jump on the bandwagon. Then I wear them for 7 years straight (evidence: today's outfit).

    Did I mention you look great?
