Strawberry Shortcake Redux

So, as you know last week I felt near death awful.

So, on Thursday I had plans to have a few of my sweet friends over for tea.

And though my week had been bleh to say the least, I NEEDED girl time.

I know it's greedy, but I get energy from being around loved ones.

remember this guy??

I feel like some super villain, 

sucking out warm fuzzy feelings 

from family and friends wherever I go!

Muahahaha

*Ok, moving on*

So, Thursday morning I woke up...and literally bounced out of bed, 

which wasn't a good idea since my neck was still bruised,

 but after feeling like a lemon for weeks I FINALLY felt somewhat normal!

I opened the kids door and hollered

 "Good Moooooorning!! French Toast all around!"

Then I made these:

Banana Nut Mini Loafs

And of COURSE since I'd been living in jammies for so long,

 I needed a little bit of my normalcy.

So naturally I put on this:

annnnnd, maybe took a few pics out in my kids fort studio...

Dress: Thrift Store|$3

Tights: Wal-Mart|$1

Belt: Thrift Store|$2

Booties:Clothing Exchange|FREE

That's right, $6 for the whole ensemble!

I feel comfortable in my own style, however as I was running errands with the kids in this outfit, I did wonder if people might mistake me for this gal:

If they did, at least they didn't vocalize it. ;0)
