The Color Experiment


Friday's outfit was inspired by this look from J Crew's Sept 2015 Catalog:


I liked the sharp colors all solid with no print...







 Leather Jacket - Andrew Marc
Top - Forever 21
Jeans - Zara
Shoes - Sole Society

FRIDAY:
Busy day of volunteering for 3 different classroom/tasks then grocery shopping for our Sat dinner party, then laundry then picking up the kids and having to work out an arrangement so my son can attend his baseball practice and I can take my daughter and her friends to the school's Science Fair....
Which involved feeding them all in the car before these events!
But the girls had a blast at the science fair and my son was happy to not miss his team practice...

Good Grief


Today's combo was inspired by March 2013 issue of In Style magazine. 
 It was actually a pretty simple combo. The silkiness of the fabric adds interest but it is really the scarf and the shoes that pop. Hence in the afternoon when I shed these items the outfit was just bare and incomplete. And that is the thing with accessories. You really can't do without them if you want to whole look. 






I absolutely adore these sandals and always get soooo many compliments everytime I wear them. And their heel is just such a wearable length. 




Top - Forever 21
Scarf - TJ Maxx
Pants - Gap
Sandals - Seychells (from Anthropologie)
Sunglasses - Betsey Johnson
Bracelet - Stella & Dot

TODAY:
Went to my daughter's pre school then rushed home to meet this promotional carpet cleaner guy. He was selling this amazingly expansive ($1200) vacuum cleaner which of course I didn't buy and he cleaned our big family room area rug and my son's room rug for free. My daughter enjoyed this presentation and the foam while eating her lunch.
We picked up my son who was just in the grumpiest mood and came home. Rainbow loom perked him up. He made me look up this very 'advanced' pattern on their website video's and we did a pretty amazing bracelet for him. I keep forgetting to take photos of these.
Then of course I was late to my daughter's ballet school meeting. My mom babysat as I headed there. It was all about the Christmas performance nutcracker and what we have to commit to if we want our kid in the performance. My daughter is dying for this so I signed up but it is going to be major major commitment.
She is so funny of course she thought she could just become the 'sugar plum fairy' which is the top role. I tried to explain to her that she will have mini but very cute roles. We have to see how this goes. You will hear me complain a lot probably as I track across town twice a week plus more starting October. But seeing her on stage will be priceless I am sure.

Gucci Color Block

 You all have seen the gucci ad all over the magazines during spring summer issues:

This H&M belt has the same style but it bunches up when you tie it tight...

The gold wedges has also gold specs in the cork wedge too...


 My sister had bought me these shorts with a complimenting blouse, earrings and flip flops from Ann Taylor (she used to work there) on my first Mother's day!
 When it got hot I ditched the cardi and I also wore my flat gold sandals with the kids...





Cardigan - Gap
Tee - Target
Shorts - Ann Taylor
Belt - H&M
Wedges - Dolce Vita for Target
Flats - Dolce Vita (zappos)


Today's Activities: Took the kids to this tiny 'Firehouse Museum' for the first time. Met up with 2 other mommies and their kids there. Kids loved the fact that they were allowed to climb one of the old trucks. It was a cool place.
We then ventured out for lunch. This is close to downtown area so the sidewalks have more people than our beach neighborhoods and kids being our crazy kids running like they own the sidewalk kept bumping into people.
We were afraid restaurants would exercise their 'right to refuse service to anyone' when they saw our crowd. We found a pizza place that was very good and settled in there.
In the afternoon when to my mom and stepdad's to visit and have dinner.









I love spiral staircases!

A bit scary!
