~ is it bad that i rented the hunger games and ate popcorn for dinner?
~ is it bad that the dress above is really a swimsuit cover-up?

~ is it bad that i have a steamer trunk full of boots?
~ is it bad that i also have a huge armoire full of shoes?
~ is it bad that i was thinking about buying a new winter coat, put it back on the rack and then ran to snatch it back up as soon as someone else walked in the store? (i wasn't sure that i wanted it, but i didn't want anyone else to have it.)
~ is it bad that i bought a new winter coat that i didn't necessarily need?
~ is it bad that while i was shopping for these boots and coat, i couldn't carry everything i wanted, so i made my daughter hold the boots?

LOL, I didn't think any of them were bad! I need to work on my submission to this, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you, as well, for the kind and lovely comment on my blog; it was very much appreciated.
those first three are so funny. kids are too honest. but you also can't trust them. and of course you need new boots each year, regardless of how many you have. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! I love this dress with the boots! Can't wait until I can wear boots too :-)

LOL :) You always make me laugh! Most of these things are not bad ;) And especially this swimsuit cover up as a dress! You look fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

I bet that woman really wanted those boots and was just waiting for your daughter to get bored and walk away so that should could swoop in and grab the boots. I don't think it was bad to protect the shoes you wanted.

Is it bad that I want to run to Target to buy those heeled kids shoes because it means they're in MY size? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I NEVER would've known that's a swimsuit coverup, it totally works as a dress!

I have a swimsuit cover up that I can double up as a dress. Shhhh...no one has to know...LOL! You look great in it and I really love those boots!
ReplyDeleteI recognize this dress! I want to write a post but funny things never happen to me... :)
ReplyDeleteLOL You had me rolling with your list! I don't think that any of these things are "bad". My oldest son tells me that I look like a hippie or my dress is too short and stuff all the time. It's good to instill honesty in kids, as long as they are not cruel and have tact. My kids get tired of holding stuff for me too. It happens. I think this dress/cover up is really pretty AND the boots rock! In my opinion, you can never have too many shoes/boots. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, oh kids! They say the silliest things! I love the dress, have a great weekend! :)

I love this is it bad? link up. I might have to participate next time. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDelete~ is it bad that i rented the hunger games and ate popcorn for dinner?

I had to chuckle at those two because I considered eating popcorn for dinner and buying a swimsuit cover up this week and wearing it as a dress. So to answer your question "is it bad?", at least for those two...Maybe, but it makes me feel better! Hehe.
You look great! Love your post!
ReplyDeleteI loveeee these boots. Love your "is it bad" honesty. I swear I do so much of the same shiz. Dress/bathing suit cover up who cares, its looks great on and with those boots. My god your legs are dynamite. dawn suitcase vignettes
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I forgot I was going to do an Is It Bad post? I seriously love this though and want to participate sometime!
ReplyDeleteLove that dress and I love that you ate popcorn for dinner while watching The Hunger Games - sounds like a good night to me!
I literally LOL'd at this list. Shopping is an adventure that includes marking your territory and staking your claim. The kid has gotta learn that!-lol
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute outfit despite the unnecessary booties and the dress really being a beach cover-up! So versatile! You look great, you don't have a big butt, and honest children are a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm guilty of several of the behaviors you describe. Is it bad to buy stuff at a thrift store, launder and iron it, and sell it for $ on eBay?
ReplyDeleteYour dress is very cute!

Heh, I giggled quite a bit reading through that!
ReplyDeleteI do like that you wore these tough boots with this dress, it takes a little sweetness out of the flower print up the side. (And I do like the collar necklace!)
The honesty of our children can sometimes be cruel but the innocence of the honesty can also make us smile. Mr M. x
ReplyDeleteCute blog! :-) And none of those things are bad!
ReplyDeleteIts totally not bad this is a swimsuit cover up cuz lets face it, it makes an awesome dress! You look beautiful. I can relate to having (too many? Nah.) shoes!! And that is DEFINITELY wrong that those are kid shoes...what the hell?

I've found that if I have to ask... I already know the answer, haha. Anyway, I can't answer all of your questions, but I wear pajamas as clothes a lot, so I'm non-plussed by the cover up.
ReplyDeleteHa, I love these posts! Glad to know I am not alone in my boot addiction, I have a trunk of them too!
ReplyDeleteLove your dress (cover-up) with the booties, keeps the look super fresh!
wow I acually think this H&M dress is absolutely incredible on you! So lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

That's a swimsuit cover up? Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! The first 3 I read were funny (:
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that's a swim cover up. I absolutely love it! Whenever I put something back in a store and someone else looks at it I have to have it! haha.
