Striped Maxi

 Today's outfit to a playground and pool outing. 

The inspiration was from the following J Crew catalog photo:

 This was actually the cover of their catalog...

 I just used my maxi dress that looks very similar. I liked the idea of adding a green belt and peach/coral colored necklaces...This is what I like about J Crew. Besides the great clothes they sell which are usually over my budget they put together amazing color combinations together. And I love using these as inspiration with stuff I already own...

 I layered 3 separate necklaces here and 2 of them are layered items in themselves. Result = a lot of layers...

 The hat was my idea. Felt like I needed to add a hat. I got these funky cat eye like sunglasses from Anhtropologie.

TODAY: We went to the public pool today that has super cool play structures. It is the same pool we went with preschool class during summer session. Wanted to re-visit again before the end of the summer. Met up with two other friends at a nearby playground first since the pool does not open until noon. Kids had fun.
Of course came home pretty late and naps and wake up time was late as well. After dinner and baths, I left the kids with my husband to meet the car sales lady so she can show me all the ins and outs of my new car. I so am enjoying to automatic sliding doors and the ample storage inside the car for everyone. Kids love having a console between them that has cup holders for their drinks and snacks. 

Here are some more complete photos of the new car!
