For Mother's Day, my mother and I happened to be together! Since she lives overseas, this is a rare occurrence. Our family took the opportunity to go on a picnic together and break out the picnic set Jacob and I got as a wedding present and have never used.
I threw on some comfy, light summer clothing: late 1930s/early 40s shorts, a white cotton blouse, and a giant straw hat I recently found in a flea market. I'm not sure how old it is, but a straw hat is a pretty timeless piece.
My mother said I looked like the Little Debbie snack cakes girl:
I kind of do, haha!

You do! And it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I love that hat, it actually reminds me a little of Anne of Green Gables! Hats like this one are so timeless, I have been searching for something similar myself! It looks like a beautiful day for a picnic in these photos and those shorts are adorable :)
