Layered Cake

 What I wore to a luncheon my mom hosted at her house for a big Turkish group of ladies...

My inspiration was J Crew's recent catalog cover:

I fell in love with this taffeta mini gingham check prada skirt at a vintage clothing store years ago. And had to have it even though it wasn't in style and wasn't sure what I would wear with. I just knew it has major potential...
And now it is totally in style...

SUNDAY:

Before we left did a mini photo shoot with my little princess...
She wanted to dress 'cool pretty' and not 'cute pretty' and the outfit had to allow her to do her newly mastered kick over moves!

So we picked this romper with the white denim vest she picked out herself and the white sunglasses and matching white sandals like mommy's...

Be a Show Off

 What I wore last Saturday night to a cocktail event through our school...

Inspiration current J Crew:

For our school Gala I had ordered a number of options for outfits from SheIn. This bodysuit was one of them to be paired with this pretty orange full skirt. But I went with another dress and was going to return all of the rest and found out per their policy no body suits can be returned. So had to keep this one but got a great outfit out of it! I love how cleanly it tucks in too...

FRIDAY:
Crazy day volunteering at school almost all morning then shopping for birthday presents followed up by swim practice and soccer practice but ended with a fun note where my best friend and I took my son to a Revolving Sushi Bar named after our last name. My son unlike many American children absolutely loves sushi but my daughter is a very average child when it comes to taste buds so I left her with my mom while took my son to the restaurant. There was an hour wait for this tiny place located in a strip mall but my friend went early to write our name.
It was such a fun place especially for kids where tiny plates of sushi circle on a belt that revolves around the whole restaurant next to each table. You pull out the plate if you want that item. When you are done you feed the empty plate to a slot and the pad on your table counts the dishes you have consumed. When you reach 15 a little 'hello kitty' surprise toy pops from the gift machine. You can also order items not on the belt and those come in a super fast fashion on an upper belt and stop right at your table. It is just all very cool.
Definitely not cheap though especially when you have a healthy eater like my son. :)

It has been a long day
