I was feeling kind of woodsy today with my denim shirt and boots. I told that to my husband and voila! he found this fantastic lumber yard with stacks and stacks of wood. I’ve got a sneaky feeling that my husband is magic. He has a few other magic tricks up his sleeve like pulling cash out of ATMs, lighting matches on any surface and making wine disappear. The day he pulls a bunny out of a hat we are going on the road.
I got my denim shirt at Old Navy this weekend. I was so mad at myself last fall when I didn’t pick up a denim shirt at Gap. I kept waiting for it to go on sale and before I knew it they were all gone. Lucky for me Old Navy is always a bit behind and I snagged this one up. It’s more of a tunic than a shirt, but it covers my bum so I don’t mind. A covered bum means full permission to wear only leggings underneath. And underwear, of course. But that’s it.
So we are complete losers and didn’t celebrate Valentine’s. I had the cutest outfit to wear had we decided to celebrate. But we were on the road all day yesterday and by the time we got home our celebratory options had been limited to drive-thru or delivery. We chose drive-thru. Which I tweeted about which resulted in Taco Bell now following me on Twitter. Nothing says romance like cheap and dirty mexican food.
Oh p.s. I’m severely allergic to cedar trees and their pollen haunts me every winter. Guess what I’m sitting on up there? Cedar trees. Dead cedar trees to be exact. I’ve never felt so justified.
You want to see something adorable? Of course you do. This is what I did this weekend:
A weekend filled with nephews, sock monkeys, birthday cake, my sister and shopping. Now that’s a good weekend.

your nephew is freakin adorable!
and hey, i have that shirt too!! i bought an XS and i'm still swimming in it–you somehow made it look absolutely lovely and more fitted here–am going to try to stuff it into a high-waisted skirt this week and see if that helps.
and with leggings?? i hadn't thought of it, but simply genius.
Nothing cuter than a diapered baby and his sock monkey. Adorable. Except maybe a denim shirt and leggings 😉
Your nephew is absolutely adorable. Glad you had a great weekend.
Love this look on you — so outdoorsy and feminine. Like the lumber setting too!

I love that outfit! What a cute way to wear a denim shirt in a trendy way!
Love the cognac boots + belt combo.
Ooh, those photos on the woodstack are *awesome*. Just the perfect backdrop, your husband really is a genius/magical! And it's funny, I was considering a title for one of my posts the other day and I couldn't decide between either "Lady Lumberjack" and "Lumber Jill," but I ended up choosing the former so I think it's sort of balancing that you titled this post with the latter 😉
And ohmygosh your nephew is too cute, I love him dragging around that sock monkey in his diaper and socks 😉
your pictures are always so beautiful! I esp. love this look- so relaxed but/and put together.
and my boyfriend and I ended up eating chipotle on a long drive home yesterday too, but we both love mexican food and so maybe it was perfect.
your nephew is so cute and I love your skirt and the colour scheme.
Aw those pictures of your nephew are gorgeous! and I really like the way you put together this outfit. The demin shirt goes so well with the floral skirt and belt.

You have a way of making even a "lumber jill" outfit look elegant and beautiful. And the photo spot is perfect – do you hire your photographer husband out? How much for a photo shoot + magic show package?
Also, your nephew couldn't be any cuter! S.
I really like this look. That skirt is great and I love it paired with the denim and the brown. I keep seeing all these fabulous floral skirts – I need to get me one!
Very cute nephew and sock monkey too!
So cute – I love the denim shirt and the warm browns.
These photos are perfection, lady! I love the denim with the floral skirt.
fun fun photos! love the pics of your nephew – he is a cutie!
Your awesome outfit reminded me that I need to stop neglecting my chambray shirt! I've got some ideas for it,and the lumber in your photos couldn't look any cooler.

Aww, what an adorable nephew. Your writing cracks me up. Hahaha, seriously. Love your skirt too!
LOVE that top and this whole look!!!! I so want to replicate it! 🙂
Why are your pictures so perfect? Does your husband request perfect lighting when he magically orders the backgrounds to appear? This is a perfect low-key look and I love the stumps of the cedars, they look kinda like four leaf clovers…
Love the outfit…and these pics look like they're from a magazine!
You belong in a magazine, I love that last shot of you!
I just bought a denim tunic this weekend too. I think I like yours better. 🙂
Love how you wore it.
I love this outfit and your blog, which i just recently discovered and am now addicted to!
Super cute skirt! And of course fabulous backdrop!
Love this look! These photos are really great. You look like such a model!
You've definitely convinced me to buy a denim shirt. I've considering it but then decided against it because I wouldn't know what to pair it with. But this look is so perfect, I think I just might buy one!
Love this earthy natural look. Very cute and laid back 🙂
