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...

 Coat, Scarf - Forever 21

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.

SATURDAY:
Another crazy basketball game of my son's team where they turn off the scoreboard cause they were beating the opposite team by over 40+ points.
After that got back home fit in a workout and showered and changed and rushed out to my daughter's ice skating class. Afterwards we met her friend for lunch then the girls free skated until my friend left and I brought the girls back home to play a bit before going to my mom's house for a family dinner then they had a sleepover...

Here are the girls having fun the next morning...

My daughter is re-enacting a segment from the Pippi Longstocking book we read where she puts sponges on her feet to make cleaning the floors fun!

Feel the Rain

 It is raining like crazy here so rain boots time!

Found this inspiration on J Crew:

I liked how the black and white shines over red pants. The grey beanie and the camel jacket are unusual pairings but they totally work!

I played with Burgundy and brown hat. Added the rugged burgundy Dr. Marten boots and the animal print belt...
