inspiration monday: cute as a button

what a weekend! i actually will do a post later with a little photo wrap-up. basically it was filled with fun boot camp races (so much mud, i might have to toss my tennies), a drive to lake city, mn to celebrate waterski days (lake city, birthplace of waterskiing...minnesota is known for more than winters, mosquitos and dumb politicians), tons of fun family time, carnival games and rickety rides, a horrific 80s band (yes, horrific is the perfect word to describe them), lots of beer, and the whole male population of lake city hitting on nora (she is cute as a button {no really, that was a line that one man used on her}!)

there was a lemonade stand at the carnival and sunday morning we were all very dehydrated. nora went to the carnival to get a lemonade ~ you know the kind with the real lemons in it ~ and the man told her there were free refills with her $5 purchase. so a few minutes later, after mimi sucked up the whole cup (hello sugar-high baby), our brother-in-law went down to get a free refill. well, it turns out, only cute girls get free refills, because after they filled the cup back up, they promptly asked matt for $3. they ended up giving it to him for free after all (cause he mentioned that he knew nora).

on to the outfit. the beautiful diane kruger and her easy breezy style...

  1. I love the outfits ladies and look forward to your weekend wrap up! Megan's outfit is really close to the original picture and her sweater and skirt colors are very similar to mine.

    I actually went outside to take pictures for this week and am pretty excited about how things turned out!

  2. Megan the zebra print on your hat is just perfect with the pink top. I love the wash on your skirt which looks super cute. Can I have your necklace? Thanks! Your location is so pretty...where are you? Nora, your vest is really cute belted and paired with the denim dress. I love the color and your hat looks great as a prop and on you. But the star today is MiMi. Linking up later...I have to pull myself together...this work stuff is serious. Dawn xo

  4. Megan, you nailed the silhouette perfectly! And I like how Nora's shoes are nude and black like the Inspiration Photo. Both very cute looks.

    And as someone with very cute BFFs, I can totally relate to watching the girls get hit on all the time. But yay for getting free stuff for it!
