Here was the outfit photo that was selected for this week: 

Notice how I even did the car pose to create the full effect! :)

This was almost too easy for me. I like a little bit of a challange but it works. I even had a plaid shirt in very similar color hue as hers.

Since my shirt was not crop I half tucked it in to avoid looking too baggy. No way I was going to do that underwear showing over my jeans look so this was as far as I was willing to go. Instead of a pale pink belt which I think what she has I went with  my distressed and studded silver one.

What was killing me is that I ordered cream summer boots that are very similar to her but they have not arrived yet. I actually first ordered these Victoria's Secret ones in tan (click for link)

but then found much much cheaper ones at Target from Dolce Vita and returned the VS ones and waiting for the Target shipment.

Cream wedges would have been perfect under this. Oh well, for today brown wooded platforms were substutied and looks ok I think... 

For the daytime with the kids I switched to my flat rugged brown boots instead and added a coco colored shrug on top as it was drizzly and cool in the morning...

TODAY's ACTIVITIES: It is spring break for the kids' school so have made plans all last week to meet some friends for activities. This morning we met with some of the mommies from our mommy group at an indoor cafe/play area. This is much  much smaller than the indoor play area we go by my house but it is something different for the kids and they do have an outside area with a big slide climbing structure as well. And very good lunch food. We hung out there until nap time.

After naps we will either stay home and invite a friend for a playdate or go to the other play area with the friend since it is cold and overcast outside. And at night getting together with the preschool mommy group at a ceramic cafe. Should be fun. Have no idea what I am going to make yet and I have never been.

It is crazy at my house. This morning I had to greet 3 different contractors to start work all at the same time. Pool crew is demo'ing the pool today. This is much worse than the concrete demo where they jack hammer holes then break it up. This one it is non stop jack hammering.

I had an electrician that is re-doing a conduit line that was corroded as well as putting couple new outlets and fixing our outside plus to code etc... Then finally have a tree service that is trimming two big trees and taking out a dead tree and a on old stump from the yard.

I had walk thru with each one, went over their work, paid some a deposit than introduced them to each other and left. It was hectic.

Here is the pool this morning after we drained the water all weekend long. Tomorrow I will take a photo of the demo'd pool and post that. You know cause you care so much! :) 

Oh, here are the tea party photos my daughter attended last wednesday that I never got to post...
