Southern Belle
by Ashley Weeks Cart
I dolled the Bug up in an ADORABLE white, eyelet sundress today. A tad formal for just another day hanging at the house while I shuffle around in sweats, but I made this fashion selection for a number of reasons:
1. Summer is coming to a close and and we all know about white after Labor Day. Tsk, tsk! Heaven forbid my infant break the rules of the fashion world.
2. She’s growing at a monstrous rate so there’s not a chance in hell it will fit her next week, let alone NEXT SEASON!
3. Just because I am a hot mess does not mean my child has to follow in my slovenly footsteps.
Given this lady-like assemble, I can’t stop speaking to her with a southern drawl. Literally, all day I’ve been tossing around “y’all”s and “howdy”s like I’m headed to a hoedown. Country twang has been playing in the nursery, and the dog is less than pleased.
Doesn’t this photo just make you wanna say, “Well, howdy little lady!” while tippin’ down your cowboy hat?
Now we’re off to sip some sweet tea and sit on the front porch in our rocking chairs.
