Inspiration Monday

Today's outfit is part of the Inspiration Monday hosted by the lovely ladies at Two Birds blog. This was the inspiration photo: 

I used my floral mini skirt to resemble her navy blue one. For a graphic shirt I chose the Marilyn Monroe tank top.  

I could have gone with a black cardigan but to be a bit different opted for my new navy blue one. This cardi has very cute brass buttons and two mini pockets which I love. Instead of tights went with leggings since I can't pull of a flowly mini skirt this short with kids during the day.  

These booties which are super super old have low enough heel that I can manage. Used tarnished silver bracelet and an all black watch for accessories. The huge ring is also a new purchase from the Thread Show yesterday. 

I tried on 3 different belts but the different metal buckles just took away fromt he outfit. This was the only black belt where the buckle is the same color so opted for this one.

We are getting ready to remodel our backyard so probably one of the last few photoshoot there for a while...

Today's Activities:  Even after a rested weekend I felt tired this morning. I am sure it is the monday morning blues. We did manage our time well in the am and got to preschool on time. I napped during the kids nap but they didn't nap for long. Afternoon was spent with errands in and out of the house. Will be cooking and bathing the kids and getting them to bed before heading over to my brother's to babysit the little nephew so they can hopefully celebrate their wedding anniversary between breastfeeding sessions.
