Governmental

Beret: Forever 21
Scarf: Borrowed from Darin
Blouse: Tucker for Target
Puffy coat, skirt: Gap
Tights: Hue
Bag, shoes: thrifted
My father is officially retired from 24 years of government work! I can't believe this day has come! Hopefully, this means that he and I can catch up on Laurel & Hardy/Little Rascals watching. It's been a while. He can finally get his priorities straight!

This ensemble took me from work to dad's retirement party to coffee with our friend Joseph. Full disclosure: I am now wearing gnome-adorned pajama pants and Darin's thermal. We had kosher pigs in a blanket and corn for dinner and Rowena took a four hour nap followed by dinner and a bath followed by another nap. Still following? I'm not either. Off to bed with me! (Hmm, that sounded weird.)

Have a lovely & lively Tuesday!

    I really love that purse, what a good thrift find! And that mustard hat...I am completely besotted with yellow at the moment. I hope all of the Laurel and Hardy watching is wonderful, I used to watch Laurel and Hardy all the time with my dad when I was little. They are hilarious!

    That was such a beautiful post on your father that you did below. A huge congrats to him and wishes for many years of health and happiness.

    I just love everything about this outfit. I was soooo tempted to buy that top a couple weeks ago, but I didn't b/c blouses never look right on me - but it looks absolutely gorgeous on you (now of course I am kicking myself). Again - I adore all the elements here. You've created the perfect fall color palette. You continually give me loads of inspiration:)

    P.S. Later on this week I will be posting an outfit that was inspired by you. Hope you don't mind:) I'll link back to you. Have a lovely day!!

    Lovely pairing of the blouse and tights. That Tucker for Target line was so pretty.

    The post you dedicated to your dad was so sweet. Enjoy your time together :)
