Gleaming Inspiration Monday

Posting totally out of order since I want to get in today's outfit for participating in the  
Inspiration Monday event hosted by the Two Birds Blog.

Here was their photo for this Monday of Brooklyn Decker:

So my take on this outfit was a light denim shirt paired with a glittery mini skirt. So here it goes:


This is the tucker skirt from Target. I have worn it once and have one other combo in my list so was happy to use it today. It is quite dressy but when paired with a denim shirt I think it works for the day...

This thin denim shirt has sleeves that can be rolled up and buttoned so works great for summer....

Close-up of the skirt's material:

These shoes looked very similar to the one in the inspiration photo:




Denim Shirt - from Turkey
Skirt - Tucker for Target
Shoes - Newport News
Necklace - Nordstrom Rack

Today's Activities: It was the last day of preschool today. Not that it means much since we'll be starting summer session next Wednesday. But we did have to empty our cubbies and take all the art work that was hanging on the walls home. My daughter once again threw a huge tantrum over a cookie that was given after class. After half the tantrum, I gave in and gave her her cookie before she finished her food. Then she went on for 25 minutes of non stop crying over my son's cookie. My son never went through this stage even at her age as he has always been very easy to reason with and very advanced in comprehension. So I always feel helpless and don't know what to do when she does this. In short we had to cut lunch short and come home.
After naps my parents came over to play with the kids...
Later today I will post 'SUNDAY's outfit and photos... Like I said out of order today...

  4. Wow, you were able to match this look almost exactly! I forgot about that Tucker skirt from Target. It's very very cute. I like this look a lot on you! And I'm loving that skirt!

    I totally feel you on those tantrums. I get so frustrated with the "treats" thing. My daughter now asks me for treats anytime we go shopping. I eventually give one to her after she's been good but then she starts demanding more. It drives me up a wall and I feel like I should've never given them to her in the first place! Makes me crazy! Just praying she grows out of it.

  6. You totally nailed this look! I love it!

    Girl, my two kids are like polar opposites. It's crazy! My oldest is the one that is a little tyrant and my youngest (she's still a baby), but she seems like she's going to be more easy going. Good luck getting through it! I wouldn't know it because my oldest is three and STILL throwing the occasional fit, but they say it passes!

  7. I love this! Dressing the skirt down with chambray is GENIUS!

    My daughter has her fair share of temper tantrums, but I have learned to NEVER give in to her, because she has a memory like a steel trap and will inevitably say "But mommy, remember the last time..." UGH.
