Anatomy of an Outfit: Striped
Black and white stripes have to be accompanied by red lips, right? Isn't that a rule somewhere?
I wore this outfit to go to lunch with my dad where I had a BLT (hold the bacon, add avocado) with fries and LOTS of mustard. He had chicken fried chicken and told the waiter to hold the chicken and add avocado - I love that after 15 years of being a vegetarian it's still funny.
Anyways, we had lunch and I told him all about how busy I am and detailed the projects I'm currently working on. After we ate I then drove him by the cutest house in the world that Jeremy and I are in the process of buying. We got out of the car and inspected things that dads like to look at - things like the foundation and brickwork, and whether or not it had cracks. And not only did my dad approve he was straight up proud - which left me feeling like no matter how scary and overwhelming things may get that everything is going to be okay.
After that I came home and busted out an invitation design for a client. That evening my dad texted me to ask if they liked it. They loved it.

sounds like this outfit brought on very good things! best of luck with buying the house!
This is one of the most darling outfits yet! Also, it's making me incredibly jealous of your obvious warmer weather. Sigh.
Wonderful luck on the cutest house!
Nicole - Yesterday morning was warm with a little rain and then in the afternoon a cold front came in! So it's not quite as warm as this outfit shows.
Dad's are the best. My dad and I had a long conversation about the food "revolution" the other day - his words, not mine. It's nice when you can be on the same side of a revolution with your dad.
There's really nothing like a father's approval. And black and white strips with red lips are a must! I adore your style, Kathleen. I imagine you'd be one of the most fun people to shop with. Ever. Happy weekend, my dear!
Can't wait to see this house. I've heard good things!
Good luck on the house!
Also - give me your shoes. Now. That is to say, I love your shoes.
Nadine - These shoes are my favorite! I got rid of almost all of my other flats after buying them.
whenever you go shopping, call me. that is all.
Dad's are frikin awesome and when you get their approval it just makes you smile :)
ps how was his non chicken-chicken fried avocado?
LOVE that first photo. So rad.
What a nice day. Made me smile. And tear up a bit if I'm being honest.
xo
Such a happy post. You reminded me that no matter how old we get, we'll always be Daddy's little girl in some ways. I like that.
Old Lady - Haha - he didn't actually get chicken fried avocado - he was just razzin' me a little.
Jennifer / Rambling Renovators - I think I'm probably more of a daddy's girl now more than ever was!
Eastlands? Brings me back to catholic school...lol
Mm. I HIGHLY approve of the lipstick.
my goober self wore shorts and tights to work today and i was freezing!!!!!
this outfit is adorable!
it must be much warmer in okalahoma than it is in kentucky!
Yesterday morning up until lunch it was warm, sunny and even a bit humid. A cold front came in and it's freezing again. Boo.
Found you through Kelly's blog, T.U.H.
Your invites are so lovely-wish they had been around 10 years ago for my wedding.
Your dad sounds like a wonderful person. You are so lucky.
Good luck with the house!
