Go home Mother Nature, you're drunk

We just got hit with another spring snowstorm.  I heart Minnesota so hard, I really do love living here, but these last couple of winter-springs have been just ugly!! But hey, for today's Pinned It Spinned It I can at least pretend it's spring with a pretty mint sweater.


Here's a little secret too - I actually wore this outfit yesterday before it snowed.  I also wish I had thought to wear these cute leopard shoes I have, I didn't realize it until looking at the pin again that she has a leopard belt on.  Oh well.  This was the pin that caught my eye when I first saw the April calendar and I thought - hey, I can do that outfit!  And then I saw some of the others and realized, I can do a bunch of these!  It's been fun so far.

Sweater - Mossimo, swap
Tank top - Old Navy
Pants - Old Navy
Shoes - Mudd, Kohls 

I'm also sharing day six of the challenge here today too - I realized that I kind of dressed like the pin without even trying - this is probably as close as I could get since I don't have white jeans.  And boots were a necessity with the snow today!!


I'm warm and cozy and dry.  Who knew that would be a concern on April 4th of all times.  Seriously. We've been joking at work about running away to Florida.  

Flannel - Ruff Hewn, thrifted
Sweater and jeans - Old Navy
Boots - Target

And in other news, Oliver's appointment went very well yesterday - he seems to have handled his shots better this time!  And we were a little over estimated on his weight, he weighed in at 16lbs, 1oz.  I think his weight growth has slowed a bit due to last week's hunger strike, but with his appetite this week I won't be surprised to see it jump again.  He's still slightly ahead of the curve on his weight!  There's a reason I sometimes call my boy "pumpkin" and not "peanut"!

Have a great weekend everyone!
