Chic Red Pants

Told you I would be wearing a different oufit tonight. So here it is.

The inspiration came from the following chictopia post:

I think hers are leggings but these new capri red jeans I bought also worked. I just opened up their cuffs so they ended right where the ankle cuff boots started...

These are the only grey shoes I own but they totally worked fine...You know how I am against matching but no other purse looked with this outfit besides the matching grey patent tote...

Wore a striped tunic under for interest even though you see very little of it. This scarf is big and rich and adds great accent. I have it paired with quite a few outfits.

The navy blue and silver cuff is a present from India from my Husband's work trip. The solid silver cuff is from Mexico and the ring is from thread show... 

I actually carried out this antique 3 legged stool out so I can pose sitting! The kids had bunch of questions as to why I was taking furniture outside...

The navy blazer is thick and soft suede like. On loan from my mom. Has a matching vest too.  Just ignored the gold buttons and decided to pick the silver from the scarf in accessories and purse instead.

Navy Blazer -Mom's

Striped tunic and red pants - Forever 21

Scarf - H&M

Boots - From Turkey

Bracelet - from India

Cuff - from Mexico

Ring - Thread Show

(wow a lot of international pieces in this outfit I realize now!)

TONIGHT's ACTIVITIES: Drove to my husband's work to pick him up and then he dropped me off on the way at the restaurant I was meeting my mommy friend's and took the kids home. I was again at the end of patience by the time I got out. I realized I think I am so exhausted this week cause the preschool is on spring break and other than monday I did not have much adult interaction during the day and it is showing. I realize now I need some sort of adult conversation to survive. As much as I love my kids and can't help but smile when my daughter asks for the 7th time 'where we are going' in Turkish in her kid accent I am about to loose it. Glad I at least had two outings this week at night to make up for lack of adults during the day...

We had a very nice dinner followed by stroll and coffee with the two girlfriends. Conversation flowed easily and we laughed so much which is exactly what I needed...

I know you just can't get enough of my backyard remodel but since you follow my activities everyday, I have to keep reminding you that the yard project is taking a huge chunk of our lives right now. So must share...

Here is the accent tile we picked for our spa wall. This will be surrounded by solid blue tiles... 

These are the tiles picked for the 'water line' area of the pool. I guess at some point I need to take photos of the similar tiled areas all around my house so you can understand why we picked these mediterranean influnced look... 

Here are the tiles laid partially. They haven't been grouted yet and they have tape on them so not as shiny as they would be once done.... 

I will do full photos tomrrow when tile work and the coping is totally finished.
