steppin' out saturday {& sunday} + bloggy mom meet-up

last sunday was my first time playing along with "steppin' out saturday" hosted by mandy over at harper's happenings & i had such a good time that i decided to get dressed up & step out not once, but twice this weekend.

last night i had my first bloggy mom blind date.  i got to meet some of my fave local bloggers & guess what? it wasn't weird at all.  it was a total blast.  it was like i already knew these girls! we all knew each others' faces, names, baby's daddies & of course, lots about each others' babies.

we had a really good time.  some tasty apps at rock bottom brewery & then froyo at ce fiore.  each girl is as genuinely sweet as she comes off in her blog & we all had lots to talk about.  there will definitely be a repeat.


so since this is a "steppin' out" post we're supposed to talk clothes & outfit.  you can see mandy & i have the same great taste in mustard color sweaters from target.  go us!


amy
sweater - target
shirt - from local boutique downtown (it's not leather, despite the leathery look)
turquoise necklace - forever 21
jeans {saturday} - nordstrom
skirt {sunday} - ross

parker
onsie - carter's
polo - old navy
khakis - baby gap
shoes - old navy

here i am recycling last night's outfit today for church.  except this time i paired the top with a black skirt.  what?  don't tell me you've never done that.  worn the same outfit back to back with different groups of friends?  oh yeah, we've all done it.

i'm hoping for a dad's edition of steppin' out saturday next week.  i think the blog has been lacking in some testosterone lately so i'll do my best to get sam in front of the camera.  not his favorite place though so wish me luck.

  1. Oh hey, I know Jill! Online, I mean. Wow all your local mom bloggers are INCREDIBLY good looking. It makes me glad I don't have to meet people in person - hiding my double chin is much easier after I edit the pictures.

  12. That is pretty cool that you've gotten so involved in the blogging world. And you look awesome! Love your style :)

  13. Yeah. SO jealous of you guys, makes me want to get back to Washington even sooner! When we all met up in September I was so nervous that it would be all weird. But like you said, it was as if we had all known each other for years (in real life, too!)

    Hey, sorry to respond so late...but I wanted to let you know that I think my videos upload to YouTube in good quality because my camera takes HD video. It's a pain to upload because the file type is different than .wmv, but if and when it works I'm always really happy with it. Thanks for the sweet comment :)

    Hope you're having a great day! (and i totally agree with suzanne...you guys are adorable!)

  15. You look great! And I love the new hair color! And I'm interested to know what you decide on the stroller strides. They have it out here, but I just don't know if I'm willing to pay for something like that. I got a kick out of that post.
