my nephew, sammy, is one of the cutest little babies around. he is 10 months old and chubby as can be, with blond hair and a vintage look to him. i sometimes think he looks like wimpy from popeye (in a cute baby way). for some reason, he doesn't like men. he loves his dad, and loves his grandpa, but anyone else that is not of the fairer sex is the enemy. he literally will start crying whenever he sees any of his uncles. one time, i just mentioned my brother-in-law's name to him and he started crying.
the funniest thing happened yesterday, though. a few of us headed over to our old school's septemberfest...it's a church fair with all the goodies ~ a band, cotton candy, soft pretzels. anyways, sammy was there, and we were all shocked that when he saw chris, he didn't start crying...until chris took off his sunglasses and he started bawling. so chris put them back on, and the crying immediately stopped. we then tested it out two or three more times (or five or six), and sure enough, every time the sunglasses came off, crying, and once they went back on, happy baby.
so from now on at family dinners, i guess all the men will have to just wear sunglasses!

Loving this weeks Inpsiration, an outfit that has a good transitional option into autumn x
ReplyDeleteYou both look fabulous. I don't think I've ever worn a belt with a shirt but I'm loving the look.
ReplyDeletethat is really funny. clearly he is the coolest baby there is too : ) and I love these skirts and the fact that they are both thrifted!
ReplyDeleteHaha, sunglasses it is! You both look great, love the skirt paired with a thick belt.
ReplyDeleteYou both look perfect! (I could so steal Megan's earrings btw!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute story about Sammy......is it bad that "Sunglasses At Night" is now playing in my head?
Apparently that was how I was when I was a baby. I loved my dad and my grandpa, but for any other man I screamed and cried if they came near me! He'll outgrow it, cause I sure did, lol.
ReplyDeleteI love both of your skirts!!
you both did an amazing job recreating this! all that is missing is the dog.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap

ReplyDeleteladies, i love your skirts so much! what fun prints. i should've used this opportunity to wear a fun printed skirt but oh well. next time :) nora, you look soooo good, girl!!! megan, that skirt is too fun and if you lived closer i'd come over and snatch it! very funny about the sunglasses. babies are so interesting, aren't they?

Great skirts ladies, love the prints of both and the fantastic belts too. I don't have anything like that fab belts. Too funny about your nephew, I wonder what it is that's setting him off, I thought it was us women who could give the evil eye! :)
ReplyDeleteladies, i gotta say your inspirational outfits are all about the skirt! :) no more tears or fears.
ReplyDeleteYour skirts are fabulous! What a fun post! Crying and all!
ReplyDeleteI love the prints on both your skirts, but I am partial to animal print :) This should have been an easy look for me to do, but I missed it...darn!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Megan, we do have the same skirt! And how funny is it that we wore them a day apart! Great minds, I guess...
ReplyDeleteBoth of your skirts are awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteMegan is this the skirt that we both have? I just read that Gracey has it too! I love it and now want to wear it with boots. Love your shoes and belt which compliment the entire outfit. Nora, how can legs stay so beautiful throughout a pregnancy. Love your skirt, the print is great! dawn suitcase vignettes
