Glitter and Glow

Here is my New Year's Eve outfit inspired by a look from a very old Sept 2011 issue of Vogue:

This sequin dress is actually a skirt and a top set. I wore the skirt portion as part of my prom dress from high school graduation. It was a very high quality set so I kept it all these years….

Top & Bottom - From Turkey

Trench - Andrew Marc

Scarf - TJ Maxx

Necklace - Baublebar

Boots - J Crew

New Year's Eve 2014:
We had yet another fun night spending with our good friends at their house for the 4th year in a row. The kids look forward to the big sleep over the entire year….

This is what I wore to the first official day of Kika Runway Conference for Spring 2013. 

The inspiration was from the Lucky Magazine (not sure which issue):

 Don't you just love the mix of eggplant and bordeaux with a pop of mustard?

I am so pleasantly surprised on how cute today's combo came together. I love it when an inspiration actually pans out better than I expected.

The inspiration photo:

 When I saw this I thought of the deep shades of purple and bordeaux mixed with black and brown. And the hat!

 I tucked in the cognac striped sweater. My instinct was to add black tights and boots but the brown actually goes great and the belt pulls it all together.

 I have officially decided to keep this skirt (by kikaPaprika)  from my samples. Where else am I going to find a perfectly fitting full skirt that has a tailored look and yet machine washable and no ironing needed! 

 This hat was my Grandpa (rest his soul) and I love wearing it....

Hat - Vintage

Sweater - Forever 21

Skirt - kika Paprika ('Brit')

Boots - Newport News

Belt - I do not remember as it is very old.

Necklace - Cookie Lee

Coat - Ann Klein

TODAY:
Went to see a play with my daughter's class. It was an odd story called the 'stinky cheese man' apparently a book where they change the happy ending of every fairy tale or children's riddle. The kids were more confused than entertained so it was a bit of a miss I think.
The cool thing is it is a Jr. Theater so all the actors are high school age kids or younger which sets a great example to the kids seeing other kids on stage.

Tonight going to mommy's night event through the organization that helps form mommy groups.
