Here fishy fishy

Another hot day on tap.  It seemed like a good day for this fishy print skirt again.  It's so lightweight, I knew it would keep me pretty cool and comfortable!  I would have liked to have worn a sundress, but I had an OB appt this morning and they needed to measure my belly, so a skirt was a better choice.  Everything is right on track and good, can't ask for more than that!


So speaking of fish, while we were up north, one day we spent a good chunk of our day on a pontoon boat and almost everyone fished.  There were 9 of us total and we kind of had a fishing contest.  While he didn't maybe catch the biggest ones, my dad certainly got the prize for catching the most fish.  It seemed everytime his pole hit the water he had one on his line.  I got two, one of which was a rock bass so we had to throw it back, but it was pretty impressive to pull out of the water!  Eventually it was just too warm for the fish to be biting so we took ourselves to a restaurant where you can just drive up your boat and dock it.  It was pretty neat!

Skirt - Tandem Vintage
Necklace and sandals - Clothes Mentor


Of course, it seems like our cabin trips are never without some sort of eventfulness.  On our way back on the boat we discovered some mechanisms had shorted out that do things like lift the motor out of the water when you go through a no wake zone.  So, at one point all nine of us piled into the front of the boat to get through the no wake zone to try and not drag the motor on the ground.  Other boaters looked at us like we were crazy - I can only imagine the site of nine people hanging out on the front of a pontoon!  We are pretty crazy though, so I guess it makes sense!

  1. I just love this skirt! How can you not love a skirt with brightly colored fish?

    Fishing is a lot of fun but putting the worm on the hook always leaves me a little grossed out, LOL

  2. The fish print is adorable! I'm not a fan of fishing but my hubby loves to fish in the ocean. He hasn't had much luck with it this season though.

  5. It is so hot! I have been going between layers and now just a dress! Not the easiest when my work keeps changing how the air conditioner is. Last week they put it up too high, so I was freezing even though it was getting hotter out. Now I think they hit it just right again!

  13. Aww fabulous fishie print skirt! Your story reminds me I haven't been on a boat in years, I miss it. My friend's parents had a pontoon and it was so much fun the couple of times I got to go on it.
