HAPPY St. PATRICK'S DAY

Celebrating October 29th

Today's sporty combo was inspired by the most recent (Oct 2013) J Crew catalog:

I just loved this idea of pairing dark green with a white (tennis like) skirt and a read baseball cap!

Sweater - Ralph Lauren

Skirt - Zara

Sneakers - Superga

Cap - souvenir purchase from Seattle

TODAY:
We had Turkish school this morning as we do every other Sunday. Except today was the celebration of Turkey's independence (actually 29th of October).
The kids were all dressed in red and white (the color of our flag) and did a little parade singing independence songs. It was quite a scene.

 Oh there are those rainbowloom bracelets my son is supporting. Well he also has a necklace and rings...

When it is dark enough you can see the stars

 This was yesterday's outfit. Today I didn't wear an outfit from the list but still tried to keep it cute, just not blog worthy... :)

The inspiration for this outfit was from a very old JCrew catalog:

You can see above how use the inspiration photos I cut up. I simply write on the photo what pieces from my own closet I will use to create the combination...

Silk Shirt - Express

Belt, Sweater - Ann Taylor

Denim Leggings - Elle for Kohl's

Necklace - J Crew

Boots - Forever 21

YESTERDAY:
My days have been a bit insane to match the workout schedule!
Kids are starting some new classes which is adding to our schedule and taking some adjustments to get used to them. My son started a new 'Lego Engineering' class which will be after school but since it was the first day and we turned in forms late I had to go just to make sure he got from class to the right place and ate lunch. Then had to go drug store than turned around had to go pick him up. We had about 10 minutes at home to pack up bags and then it was off to swim class. The kids were ecstatic about the swim classes. Then we had Greek for dinner right after before coming home to crash. But then as soon as they go to bed we start our insane 1.5 hour workout which is on top of the 45 minute cardio we had already done that morning.
Sadly as you can see from the photos no changes to the way I look (yet) but I sure feel sooo much stronger. I just don't have any time anymore.
Tonight by the time we finished working out it was already 10 PM! That is because tonight we did a 90 minute yoga!

Here is the pretty princess in a new outfit she got from my cousin's girlfriend in Turkey:

Sidewalk Picasso

 This was the outfit I wore to my daughter's 3rd BDay Party in a kid Art Studio.

The inspiration was from this Chictopia Post:

I wanted an outfit with rain boots so I can clean any paint that might splatter on my shoes. I took off the sweater when we got there and put on their shirt smocks....

My sister and I were totally dressed alike without talking to each other about it! This happens quite often with us....

My old green polo sweater from TJ Maxx:

Sweater - Ralph Lauren

Blouse - Mango

Jeans - Forever 21

Boots - Target

SATURDAY:
We had a very fun party joint hosting a birthday party for my daughter and my friend's daughter in an art studio!
After the party I had so much to do at the house and totally exhausted. Barely lasted for kids to wake up from naps so my daughter can open up presents then took a much needed nap while the family was downstairs with the kids. Woke up in time for dinner.
