Elegance and Mommyhood

Good Morning. I snapped these 3 photos today on March 5th just this morning (it is still March 4th over there) around 7.45 AM this morning, just to link up with AGI for her Unique "I am Beautiful Link Up" where she challenges us bloggers to post some up close photos of ourselves without any makeup on.

So, I hit all of these things with this Outfit. And then, I learned that Trendy Tuesday with Danielle today, is Gingham and Cords. Lovely Danielle even styled her B+W Gingham Shirt with Burgundy Pants, like mine. Great minds think alike. (So, I hit the bull in its head with this Outfit.)
