Almost April

It's almost April and you know what that means... April Showers! We've actually had two thunderstorms in the past two days. Last night the rain and hail was so loud on our window it woke both Ryan and I up at 4:00 am. I LOVE the sound of raindrops on windows, but hail... not so much. Thankfully we fell right back asleep though. We also drove home through another storm today and Sean was all smiles in the back seat despite the thunder and lightning! My brave boy!

I actually wore this exact chambray top and khaki shorts to my niece's first birthday party last weekend. For the sake of this week's Friday Fancies theme of April Showers I added in some cute rain boots and a lovely clear umbrella. The lime colorblock clutch and the bright earrings are just some examples of the kind of accessories I've been liking lately. I don't own anything similar yet, but I did find a blue colorblock bracelet on sale at Target for just 3 dollars that I love! You can see it and my lovely nieces, sister and mom in some of the pics from the party below! Oh and by the way, thanks for the sweet comments about my Old Navy dress! I liked it whether I looked like an okapi or not! And yes, my sis was just being silly by pondering the similarities of the striped and solid sections of the dress to those of the mammal! :)

    Adorable outfit! I need a good chambray shirt to wear. Somehow I always talk myself out of buying one.

    Awww little kid birthday parties are so much fun! :) Look like you guys had a great time! Oh, and how I also love sleeping during a good rain or thunderstorm. I usually fall asleep at night with "rain sounds" playing on my iPod.

    Love the Friday Fancies outfit! I used to have the most wonderful clear, bubble umbrella, but then I got it stuck in a tree one day walking home from class. Such a shame.
