Truth be told, this should really be named, “What I Will Wear Sunday.” My son is serving at the late Mass tonight but we have a crazy, busy afternoon. And, I *may* have worn this same outfit yesterday to my daughter’s First Reconciliation. I mean, if it’s already out, why make it difficult on yourself, right?
I’ll be chatting more about her First Reconciliation later this week, but wow, what a morning. It’s grace-filled moments like those that remind me why I converted to Catholicism. It takes its sacraments seriously.
On to the fashion. I should really dedicate this outfit to Deme and her insight on making one outfit work for all seasons. This skirt is a summer one, I wore it to First Communion last spring (I’m seeing a Sacrament theme, here). I never thought to pair it with a wintery shirt and boots to make it work for winter. Reason #1,578 why I love this link-up. You girls make me think bigger. For some reason, I thought some designated Mass fashionista would pull me aside and ticket me for wearing a summer skirt in January.
Just before snapping this picture I asked my husband if I could try a new pose. His reply? “Kathryn, it is too dang cold this morning to be trying new things. Stand there and smile. I’m freezing.” Alrighty then. Next week I’m sure it will be back in the 90s and I can be creative.
Outfit:
Shirt: Christmas Gift
Skirt: WHBM
Boots: Ecco from Dillard’s
Jewelry: Bracelet (gift), Earrings (Charming Charlie)
If you haven’t already, I’m giving away an awesome ebook, “Say No to Auto,” that shows you how to ditch the auto setting on your DSLR and go manual. It is supremely awesome and the giveaway ends tomorrow at midnight. You know, if pictures are your thang, this might be for you.
As always, for great fashion inspiration, you can find some nuggets over at Fine Linen & Purple.

Here at Team Whitaker, I blog about life as it happens: big families, carpool, Catholicism,Texas Aggies, prematurity, DIY/organizing projects, sanity checks and the occasional glass of wine at 10am. You get real Kathryn. Unedited, honest and hopefully funny. Motherhood and our faith lives are a journey, join me.

I wonder what “freezing” is over in your neck of the woods?
I love that skirt- would’ve never looked at it and said “springtime” b/c you styled it so nicely!
HA. It was in the 40s today with a pretty brisk wind. In TX that’s “freezing.”
Wow, do I love that skirt.
Love, love, love that skirt! The pattern is uber flattering. What fun!
Your husband sounds like my husband. It’s getting too cold here too! Looking good Kathryn. I really like that skirt.
Love the whole outfit! I guess I need to read the guest post by Deme because your outfit looks like it was purchased to go together!
Such a pretty skirt! You look so lovely, Kathryn! Hope you had a wonderful weekend =)
Thanks for the sweet shout out, Katheryn
I think black and white always works in winter and you look fantastic in this black and white ensam!! I’m taking notes from you next week on working in some great faith inspired jewelry!
Eek…freezing? There was no possible way I would go outside today without a jacket on for even a second! Not that I’m the fashion police, but I would not have pulled you over for that outfit, it is wonderful and that skirt is fantastic! Hooray for Charming Charlies – I could go nuts in that store!
I cackled at your husband quote! Oh my gosh. He Kathryned you. So funny
Also? That skirt is killer. Killer, I tell you!
Yes, yes, he did.
Your skirt is AMAZING! So flattering!
Love the bracelet too. I’ve been looking for one of those…
Congrats to your daughter on FHC! What a happy day!
Hahahha, I love your husband’s comment. I also love the way you paired up the skirt, I would have never guess it was your “spring” skirt!
VERY sharp outfit! Love the skirt.
I definitely did the wear the outfit out on Saturday for a few hours and then wear it to church the next day thing too a few weeks ago. I love that skirt on you. You look beautiful!
cute outfit I am a huge fan of black and white and you never would know that is a summer skirt, great job!
*high five* to the WHBM bandwagon
Kathryn – this is my first visit and my first time posting in “What I Wore Sunday”. So excited to join in on the fun.
Your outfit is stunning. I love the skirt with the bold color statement. Add the boots and it’s totally a winter outfit. Beautiful!
Such a great well put together outfit. And no offense but I always feel a little bit better when it’s the same temp in tx and ma!! I’ve been missing Texas lately!!
I think you have the best outfit of the week. LOVE it! And I have a similar bracelet that I need to find…
Another big hit! (but I have to admit that I think anything would look good on you and the fashion police would be asking you for advice!
Love it!!!

You are so “sassy”… Love the bracelet…I was sent one this year as a gift that has all my kid’s pics and a pic of me and the hubby! Super cool. Miss ya sista friend and there is always a margarita waiting for you in the PNW!
