understated

It's been awhile on the SJ quotes. I'll admit I'm not so good about jotting things down these days and my memory fails me often. Luckily for me, a now five-and-a-half-year-old Savannah doesn't have quite as constant a stream of amusing quips as three-year-old Savannah.

I had to write this one down though...
We were sitting down to lunch yesterday (snow day) and I was still in gray sweatpants and an old baggy t-shirt (otherwise known as pj's around here) as we had been in and out of snow clothes all morning, had no where to go, and no real reason to get dressed.
Sitting at the lunch table together, my five-year-old daughter, who we all know is the fashion expert in this house, informs me that she hopes I know my "outfit is understated".

She went on to explain...
"that means plain. Boring."
"Oh really? Where did you learn that?"
"In my new Fancy Nancy book; it's the word for U. Understated. Like my mother wears understated clothes."

Oh yes, she did say that.
