The Godmother

This weekend, my sweet baby nephew is getting baptized and we've been asked to be his godparents. It is hard to put into words how honored we feel. We are so in love with sweet Levi and can't wait to help guide him through this life.

I realized this week I had a bit of a wardrobe dilemma. Plenty of winter sweaters and a few summer sun-dresses, but no spring church-appropriate combinations. For those of you in sunny parts of the world- soak it up and don't ever move to Seattle. Spring hasn't quite arrived, and we are greeted almost daily with rain,clouds, and vitamin D supplements.

I set out in search of a cute skirt this afternoon (in the pouring rain), but everything I tried on was to short or to work-ish. I soon realized I was going to need to go with plan B: find a cardigan that would pair with one of the jcrew sun-dresses I have to make a springy combo.

I landed on this sweater from Gap in a sand color. The sleeves and torso are long enough which is rare for me, I can wear it to work, and with a sale price of $24.99, I was sold.

So here are the options. Both of the dresses were from weddings last summer. Please excuse the wrinkles- clearly these puppies have been in the back of the closet.

I think I'm leaning towards the light blue on the right. I'm not big on color, so the pink seems like a bit too much of a statement. After all, the day is about sweet Levi, and my goal is just to blend nicely into the background and hold back my tears.
