Happy Monday! How has your start of the week been thus far? I have to admit that Mondays are the most dreaded day of my week… I sometimes wish that weekends would last forever and a day… or that we were on summer break, which ever comes first 😉 Brigid was sadly sick-a-bed today, so I’m taking over for her! Here goes!
This is probably the most comfy casual outfit that I own… composed of my new favorite pants and sweater (both of which just so happen to be the cat’s pajamas in this lady’s closet, literally), I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get enough wear out of –all right, I’ll be completely honest– these pants. These over-the-moon, perfection-in-made-in-twill, never-ever-ever-gonna-take-these-off pants. Yes, they’re that amazing! Thanks Brigid for making, and Jess for giving 🙂 I really never thought, when Jessica was fashioned this pair of slacks, that I would be this in love with them. Until she says I can have them after borrowing the lower half of the cat’s pajama’s one afternoon. Then I wear them over and over and over again. Yep, they’re that good.
But what about the sweater? Well, that’s another story.
I thrifted this darling find a few weeks ago when I scored big-time in the sweater department. I tried on this furry animal of a jumper, and I knew it had to be mine! Its fit, style, collar, cut, color… Oh yes, it had to be mine. We get home, and I promptly slip on my new sweater, proudly strutting about the house, thinking about how stylish and warm I am; until Jess smiles and says in her usual sweet, nonchalant manner, “Why Charlotte, you look just like a teddy bear in that sweater!” Oh… thanks… Yeah, just what I wanted to look like… a teddy… bear.
Oh well, I still wear it anyway, and laugh thinking about Jessica’s ironic crushing of my pride.

My favorite clothing items would be my new purple slouchy hat that my sister made me, and most of my scarves. 🙂
This is random, but have you all ever thought about making a CD with recordings of your singing?
With love,

01/06/2014 at 11:40 PMThis is a lovely outfit!! It positively oozes comfiness. 🙂
(And as an older sister, I think I’ve accidentally said such things to my younger sisters as Jessica said to you. *smile* You seem to have taken it very well! You have a good sense of humor.)
I just wanted to say—-I love the setting for these photos!!! It looks like a truly beautiful downtown street. What a great background for these pictures!

Thanks SO MUCH for your interest, ladies 😀 We are dreaming of one day publishing a CD of our own, but because of the great expense of such a feat, we have been sadly hindered. Because of this fact, we have been considering hosting a fund raiser to fulfill the budget needs of hiring a recording studio. We’ll see where the Lord takes us 🙂

01/07/2014 at 1:56 PMYou know, “teddy girl” did not associate with teddy bears in my mind… there was a youth subculture in the 50s… and funnily enough, your outfit does have a bit of the overall silhouette of their style, though probably not the colours or style as such…
And “cat’s pajamas” is new to me, and I’m not sure I understand it properly. The things you learn!
Hannah Langdon says
01/07/2014 at 4:37 PMThat was exactly my thought when I saw the post title! I was wondering how Charlotte was going to pull that off…. 😀
Boyer Family Singers says
01/07/2014 at 2:18 PMHaha! The title & outfit were actually inspired by that 50’s subculture 🙂 Funny you caught that!
The Cat’s Pajamas essentially means “best” or “amazing” or “favorite”
Thanks so much for commenting!

01/08/2014 at 10:31 PMI don’t think you look much like a teddy bear in the sweater, although you do look quite cozy! The long ribbed section at the bottom makes it quite flattering and keeps it from being too bulky.
