Controlled Chaos

What I wore last Thursday....

Loosely inspired by this Cabi look from last season:

I  more took the concept of a longer top under a cropped jacket. None of my black shirts were loose long enough for this look so went with the burgundy top instead... Hadn't worn this jacket in ages so it was nice to give it life...

Jacket, Long Necklace - Forever 21

Top, Pants - Kika Paprika

Choker Necklace - Cabi

Booties - Franco Sarta (sp?)

WEEKDAYS:
The days are going in a fast forward paste with working for 7 hours then picking up kids and doing their activities and fitting in house stuff in between and trying to get sleep!
My son made all star for baseball once again which of course ramped up our schedule like crazy. Adding 5 two hour practices last week causing me switch out bunch of their other activities around like tennis and swim and then having to send tons of texts between other moms to come up with a carpool schedule so at least one parent drops off and parent picks up.
We all come to the games but practices we don't need to stay. Especially when they are two hours and we all have other kids that have stuff going on.
Needless to say quite exhausted pretty much all the time!

Welcome the Journey

 What I wore last Wednesday (that is how far behind I am in posts)...

Inspiration from this pinterest post:

I went with a mint green instead of kelly green but the same concept... Although I don't like matching couldn't resist pairing this mint necklace with the outfit...

Scored this at a Steve Madden sale. Love the perfect ballerina flats (even the color and leather match the real ones) with the edgy straps... So soft and comfortable as well...

FRIDAY:
It has been crazy warm here in So. Cal in the 90s! So since the school was out for Veteran's day on Friday we took the kids to the beach... And these crazy kids went into the icy cold waters and had a blast...

After resting a bit and showering and changing at home, I took my sunshine girl to see a Jr. Theater production of James and the Giant Peach (a Roald Dahl book she has read last year)....
It is always a pleasure to watch such young talent on stage and very inspiration for my little actress...

Don't Let Them Tame You

Pairing a cardi over a denim shirt was a great idea. I substituted by boho cardigan...

 What I wore Tuesday night to my husband's company dinner...

Inspiration from this Pinterest post:

Simple and professional without being too stuffy and the pop of orange and animal print still allowed me to express my fashion sense... And of course the wrap around choker too...
