@27Weeks Ξ On my husband’s annual shopping trip (Yes, he only shops once a year–heathen) I wanted to wear something comfortable but still cute. And I love how this outfit turned out. I felt like I was wearing my PJs, but (unlike some Dublin girls) was dressed and appropriate for hitting the shops and a great lunch out.

Now, my hubby hates shopping and is amazingly picky. To his credit, he always looks great but our yearly shop can be a bit of a drag. So I decided to add a bit of levity to the day with my Happy Sad Bag. I found this awesome little tote bag at TJ Maxx in Boston years ago. With one side a happy face and one side a growling sad face, it’s easy to wear your emotion on your sleeve (and gently remind your shopping partner that he’s being grumpy).

And check out the bump! It’s definitely there. To keep both my boys happy during the shopping trip, we headed to Cortinas in Dundrum. It’s really good and get’s my Texas Gal seal of approval. I am beyond excited to now count 4 decent Mexican restaurants in town. Can’t wait for next summer when I can sit outside at Cortinas sipping a margarita, eating chips and excellent mango salsa.
