You're So Vain - WIWW *8*

Last week I had the pleasure of spending a whole week with my parents! It was a lot of fun, yet I struggled to get my WIWW pictures taken. One night as I stayed up too late to work on my post and pictures, my mom was asking my why I put so much effort into it, couldn't I give myself a night off? I opened up The Pleated Poppy and showed her the other 160 girls that linked up every week and how we get inspiration from each other. Seeing everyone else who linked up was like a huge "ahh ha!" moment for her and she confessed the following to me:

"I mean, I know that Bami (my grandmother) and I really enjoy reading your blog and it was fun the first few weeks to see what you were wearing, but I was just so confused as to why you kept doing it... on top of all of that, you kept listing out where you got everything from! Seriously, I thought you were just being so vain!!!"

So, I dedicate today's WIWW to my mom! I'm thankful she finally understands other people are doing this too and she didn't raise a *super self-absorbed* daughter!

This was hands down my favorite outfit of the week! I wish it would have photographed a little better than it did, but I will definitely be wearing this again!
