Chin up princess or the crown slips

 Starting another work week... Now that impressions have been made, I can start expressing my true style a bit more...

Mixing patterns and all...

Inspiration from Boden USA's Catalog from last fall:

These Silk pants are very old from J Crew but they never go out of style... Pairing them with the new trend top with ruffle sleeves and of course animal print calf hair flats...

MONDAY:
I try to relax on the weekends but knowing what is coming with a work week starting I tried to get ready with shower, hair, laundry, groceries etc...
Now I get up at 5:30 am with no alarm clock, hating life but getting up.
I pack lunch and snack and prep my breakfast to eat in the car... My treat when I get in the office is a nice cup of coffee after I log in which takes forever with various network firewalls and VPN tokens.
The hours fly by as I barely have time to keep up but I am in a groove now and keep on chugging.
And when I get off it is full mommy mode with kids and their activities. And I try, really really try to let go of the house which is according to my standars is a complete mess but I can only focus on priority items at this time... :)

FRIDAY:
My daughter did a cute little dance performance to Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" song....

And My son's performance was absolutely hilarious...
Him and 3 of his other crazy athletic sports jock friends performed to the youtube sensation PPAP (Pen Pineapple Apple Pen) of Kosaka Daimaou....
And we had two other friends' kids dressed as a pineapple and apple and come flying on the stage mid song...
It was a total freak show and exteremely popular with their friend audience...

This time around

 What I wore last Thursday...

Inspiration from J Crew:

My off shoulder black and white top didn't quite look so right so I went with the striped top instead. I like the unusual combination of blue and white with military green...
Animal print heels are a nice touch too...
