In the interest of total transparency, I have to tell you what happened right before these pictures were taken.
So there I was. We had just walked in the door after getting home from our first road trip to visit the grandparents. We had just unloaded the car. The sun was setting. Daylight was quickly fading.
I realized I hadn’t gotten an outfit pic yet.
So, I asked my husband to take some real quick for me and he, somewhat hastily, agreed. Just kidding. He wasn’t agreeing hastily. He was very kind to oblige my request. Love you, honey!
Anywho. That detail is neither here nor there.
So, I grabbed my camera and proceeded out our front door to our front yard to prep for the quick photo.
I walk down our front stoop.
I step into the grass.
I do not see the giant dip in the grass (aka: a huge hole in our yard).
I trip on the aforementioned dip.
I try to catch my balance.
I begin to fall forward but I am trying my darnest to catch myself.
Scoot forward. Scoot forward. Falling. Falling.
And….. BAM. Flat on my face. I managed to hold the camera up so the camera did not receive any of the impact.
I have a MONSTER bruise on my leg now. I had to angle my body in these photos in a way so that you could not see the GIANT GRASS STAIN on my white cardigan.
This, ladies and gents, is why I can’t have nice things. And why I will never been a runway model (one of the MANY reasons why…).
Anyway. My husband came out of the house to find me flat on my face. “Are you okay?!” he said. “I will be. Now let’s do this.” I replied.
When it comes to outfit photos – THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
Now, onto the topic at hand. SCARVES! As y’all know, I am a scarf FANATIC. And, it is also no secret that I am quite OBSESSED with everything that my dear friend Stephanie over at Ooh Baby Designs creates. See old post about my obsession with her stuff.
Anywho. Stephanie just released her new FALL LINE of infinity scarves and I am literally DROOLING and I can’t decide which ones I want to order. Because, well, I want ALL THE SCARVES!
Here are some of my absolute FAVORITES from her new line:
Tribal Ikat Scarf / Houndstooth Scarf
Purple Chevron & Black Polka Dot Scarf (also comes in GOLD!!) / Leopard Camo Scarf (also comes in PINK!!!)
Royal Blue, Black, & White Chevron Scarf / Why buy ONE when you can buy your chevron scarves in BULK at a discount?! YESS!!! One for each outfit!
Quite possibly my favorite – this vintagey looking blue scarf. GORGEOUS!

Girl, you sound like me. If there is a way to trip, I find it. But, I usually fall and just … collapse on the ground like I just meant to sit in that particular spot the whole time. Glad you’re okay! So sorry to hear about the cardigan 🙁 It’s really cute!
hahahaha so glad i’m not the only one! 🙂
You’re a trooper! Hope you’re ok 🙂 You look beautiful in that blue!

I love Stephanie and her fall line is awesome! And oh my gosh – I hope you’re ok! You’re a trooper for moving forward and getting the outfit photos!!
This is so funny………….I was JUST browsing her shop YESTERDAY! I was eyeing the mustard and gray infinity!
My favorite is the polka dot and chevron one!
Oh my goodness I hope you are ok! You can’t tell from the photos – you look fabulous! Blue is a great color for you! My sense of balance has never been the same since I had my daughter. And I get motion sick! Oh well – she was worth it(: I am in love with scarves, but if I win, I will be sharing this with my daughter. She wears scarves all of the time! I love the camo and gray and the blue! I would choose the mustard chevron with black polka dots or the blue and black scarf for my girl. I linked up today with a fin give away too! Be blessed my friend! Susan
