Thanksgiving, Polka Dots and Kittens

So- I had a lovely thanksgiving break with my cousins family. She is married, and newly pregnant, so it was so great to see her, and her husband. They are a beautifully married couple, an example of the potential to bring happiness that marriage has. Her husband described it as “If anyone had told me how awesome marriage was when I was younger, I would have worked harder to get married sooner. I can't describe....the completion it brings”
And I met his mother, who enjoyed my style, and actually said “ I wish I could follow you around for a month and see what you wear!” I said, I have a blog! And thought...........I need to update that.
So! Todays first update in a while. The activities, choir, and voice lessons, some cyber monday Christmas shopping, and a fabulous, dinner, shopping and Breaking Dawn date. I am the luckiest girl alive!!! I have a boy, WILLING to take me to a twilight movie. He's pretty amazing, and his acceptance of cheesy chic flicks is the least of reasons why :)
Anyway- today's outfit!
Dress- Modcloth
Crinoline- Unique Vintage.
Necklace- Express
Sweater- Plato's closet.
Shoes- Amazon

I also have to introduce you to Meagans niece-
 
      This is Meagan's niece, and I LOVE her. She is absolutely the most fabulous and happy 5 year old that exists. In this picture, she is modeling my almost as fabulous recent fur coat acquisition. This camel and unknown animal fur collar is from a darling little retro store in Salt Lake called Retro rose- not a ton of clothes, more of an antique store, but quite a collection of coats. When I saw this one, I decided it was definitely something Jackie would wear, and I got it for quite a reasonable deal.
     But back to my little snow princess! We were all sitting around the dinner table one night, discussing things that explode in microwaves- I mentioned eggs, Meggy's husband mentioned CDs- his mom said "Potatoes will explode if you don't stab 'em first." And this little angel's father nodded and calmly adds, "So do kittens." Adults laugh a bit, but she turns to her father and with this appalled look and her face says, " DADDY! YOU MICROWAVED A KITTEN!?" He replied "No sweetie, I was joking." And she throws her arms around his neck and gives him a kiss and reassures the table, "Its ok guys!! He was just kidding!!" Kids are so cute. Maybe I could be a mom some day.
Comments and questions appreciated! Kisses!
