In the end we'll all become stories

 What I wore last Thursday...

With the coat:

Inspiration from Pinterest:

This was such a cool outfit. The dress was somewhat form fitting and short but the high boots provide leg coverage and the bulky tartan scarf made it look chic...

Dress - Cotton On

Boots - Shoedazzle

Sunglasses - Gucci

THURSDAY:
The day was crazy with running errands and volunteering at school, packing, taking kids to baseball and gymnastics and then leaving them with a sitter and rushing to my book club meeting!

We just finished reading:
"Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis" by J.D. Vance

It is a phenomenal book.  I highly recommend it. I would have never picked this up if it wasn't for my book club and I am so glad I read it. The author captures the root of this culture so well and though totally loyal and proud of his heritage he also remain unbiased and holds them responsible for the problems they face.

As usual so many laughs and great discussion with my dear friends. I love hanging out with these intelligent well read women.

What if you fly

 What I wore on Tuesday as I drove my daughter and 5 of her friends to their class field trip to the Natural History Museum....

Inspiration was from Pinterest:

THe idea was a loose dress with tall boots. I paired mine with a same shade cardigan for the layered look and this plaid scarf has a touch of grey in it so went really nice with the dress...

TUESDAY:
It was crazy driving 3 boys and 3 girls in my minivan and they had a singing competition between them. You can only imagine the volume in the car!
But the kids had so much fun and learned a lot...
I was exhausted but kept up with my diet as I packed all the food I could have the night before and had 3 bottles of water to drink throughout the day.
Plus the teacher let us not attend the movie we had all seen with our older kids and some of the moms went out for a cup of coffee which was a nice treat...

Baby it's cold outside!

 What I wore to take my daughter's girl scout troop to ice skating by the gorgeous Hotel Del Coronado...

My sweater is dark green as well. You just can't tell from the photos for some reason...

FRIDAY NIGHT:
What a gorgeous sight it was an ice skating rink right in front of the ocean with Hotel Del in the background... The rink was small and given our temperatures the ice was slushy but it was all worth it...
My daughter stood out like crazy since most skaters were tourists with hardly any skating talent. She would wizz between everyone swirling and twirling, everyone was commenting on how good she was...
