Well, at first I was all determined to do the 'Inspiration Monday' by Two Birds, BUT, the weather was too cold and I had just worn a very similar outfit for the BDIB event with a tie already...
So, wore this today.
This was inpsired by the lovely Kristy from the MonoChromaChic Chic blog:
I like the idea of a sweatshirt over a silky blouse and the hues of rose pink and grey!
Then you add a sparkly big statement necklace on top!
I didn't even try to pair a high heel today with the outfit and just went direct with what I would be truly wearing... These oxfords were simple and blending enough with this outfit. And comfy...
This sweatshirt actually has a design in the front but I wore it backwards to use the plain side!

Today's Activities: Another Sea World day for us. We went yesterday so I can spend time with my Aunt and today was our preschool field trip. There were so many other schools there too and it was a bit hectic but it is just such a different dynamic when kids come to these places with their friends. They seem to interact and have so much fun running and chasing each other.
And us mommies just have to laugh it off as we stop every 10 seconds for one whinning kid or another or to get something they are requesting or picking up something they dropped. The fact that we are all in the same boat makes us feel better somehow.
The weather was awful and it started rainning pretty hard at some point. We were all prepared of course with rain jackets and hoodies for all the kids and blankets and ran to the nearest covered area for lunch.
After naps we went to the indoor play area and fed the kids dinner there. I dropped them home to my husband and then went straight to meet my mom, aunt, sister and step dad for sushi dinner.
We went to a funky 'garden discovery' section in Sea World which we have never seen before and saw the actual plant where artichoke's grow!
Random I know but I thought they looked so pretty and my kids love them as I wrote before...
so cute! love the peachy/rosy blouse with the gray over it! and that statement necklace is a great accent piece. i totally feel ya on the tie thing but i did do it again. tried to change it up a little bit, but ended up doing something pretty similar. oh well!
