Today we are headed to Austin, to get a new-to-us minivan!! A lot of driving (Austin is about an hour away) means I wanted to be comfortable, but still cute. I am wearing
Butterick 4985 on top with my
McCall's 5142 jeans. I made this top before I really had figured out Big 4 sizing (and have any of us REALLY figured this out??), so I cut it a size larger than I would now. It is a bit big in the shoulders and the neckline gapes just a touch, but the fit isn't bad, and I really like the style.
And here is the pretty new car we came home with!! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed experience and opinions regarding our big purchase. It was really helpful. You all convinced me of quite a few things I might not have even considered, most particularly the leather seats (which we got!). She is a 2007 Honda Odyssey Touring Ed. and she is easily the most tricked out car I've ever driven (DVD player, GPS, seat heaters - the whole nine yards!). I love her! We're calling her "the Limo" since she's so fancy.
