The Outtakes

When I started this blog, I never really thought about the fact that I would have to have my picture taken almost every day.

About 90% of the time, that duty of “cameraman” falls on my husband. He is a brilliant, wonderful husband and I love him so much, but there are times that he would rather be doing something else other than taking my picture. I totally understand.

During those times, he just snaps away hoping he’ll get a good one.

These are some of the outtakes that occur because of that.

And I just needed an excuse to remind you of what a nerd I really am. 😉

Looks like I’m gonna pass out and fall over. Ha!

He really enjoys continuously snapping pictures until I reach my camera.

And almost every day at least one of my children has to wiggle their way into the picture somehow.

This one was actually one I had Liam take before my friend Jenny took over.

Feel free to add a caption to this one. Ridiculous.

Sometimes when you’re too busy taking a picture, your child decides to climb up on top of the picnic table.

7 Ways To Style A Button-Up Shirt

The classic button-up blouse is an incredibly versatile item to have in your wardrobe.

If you buy a solid, neutral color (such as chambray, grey, white or black), you can dress it up or down a number of ways. It also is an important tool to use for layering.

Here are SEVEN ways to style your standard button-up blouse.

1. Find a longer blouse (one that is past your hips and covers your butt) and wear with a bright pair of skinny jeans.

2. Wear it buttoned up over a dress or skirt, using a skinny belt to accentuate your waist.

3. Wear over a dress and tie the shirt at your waist. I think this looks exceptionally good with colorful flannels and makes a great alternative to a sweatshirt.

4. Wear with a cardigan and roll the sleeves over to make it 3/4 sleeve length. This is a basic way to quickly dress up a pair of jeans.

5. Wear under a short sleeved sweater or shirt.

6. Tuck into skirt and belt it. This is my personal fave.

7. Wear it with shorts over a tank or lightweight t-shirt and loosely tuck into waistband. And don’t forget to add a statement necklace!
