My outfit Wed night for the BIG family get together….

The inspiration from this Mango Ad:

I loved the pop of Orange jacket and my cropped 3/4 sleeved cotton one was much more appropriate for the hot climate here than the blazer in the inspiration… I didn't have black sandals with me so wore the white strappy ones and I think they make a better statement!

Jacket - Kika Paprika (the piece that was named 'daphne')

Shirt - H&M

Faux leather dolphin shorts - H&M

Heels - Bebe

Necklace - Forever 21

Bracelets - Cookie Lee

Sunglasses - Wildfox

TUESDAY:
Didn't wore an outfit on this day but spent the day at the beach with my Turkish friend who lives in San Diego and has a daughter same age as mine. Invited them to come to our beach while my mom and step dad were in the city for the day:

WEDNESDAY:
Wednesday we spent the day at another beach with friends but had an unfortunate event of my friend's daughter being bitten by a fish and a whole commotion of getting the poison out and calling a Dr etc…
The good news was she was OK at the end.

At night we were invited to a huge family get together and to celebrate my mom's cousin's birthday at their house…
We had close to 40 family members!
My Grandpa comes from a family of 6 siblings each of whom had at least 2 to 3 kids (my mom's generations) and those had 2 to 3 kids (mine and my cousins' generation) and then we started having kids.
So it was a joyous get together of generations of family welcoming the new ones and honoring those who are no longer with us….

MONDAY:
Started the day with my workout clothes. Went my daughter's school and afterwards we went to Von's near my son's school to pick up popsicles for his class then went to the school. Except I had double booked myself cause I had my daughter's kindergarten assessment appointment and plans to give treats to my son's class to celebrate his b-day all at the same time. Made it work somehow with help of ladies in the school office.

With his Teacher:

Afterwards we came home for just a little while and yet I managed to fit a workout and a shower and then took the kids for swim practice/class….

After swim we came home and showered and changed the kids while I finished dressing and make-up. My hubby was sick so he was already working from home and took over the kids and I left with my friend to meet the girls after leaving the family with leftovers for dinner.

The girls and I went to a place we used to go often but had changed ownership. Quite close to my house too so that was convenient… It was a great time as always….
