State Capital

 What I wore last Friday as I went with my son and his school Student Council grp to Sacramento to visit the state capital!

We were going to be gone from 5:30 AM to 9:30 PM all day so I wanted to pick an outfit that was comfortable and would hold its shape all day and not show dirt or stains but also look semi-professional as we toured government buildings and museums...

Inspiration from Cabi's current season:

I loved this cotton tank and pants combo immediately when I viewed the current season looks. The fabric is such a thick high quality cotton and it does not stretch yet has the feel of athletic clothing.
Due to the drapy texture it looks very dressy.

I liked the idea of adding a neck scarf and a long necklace. Nude ballet flats keep it practical and a thin cardi in the same tone allow to battle the chilly airplane climate without distracting from the outfit...

LAST WEDNESDAY:
Kids school does a special event for 4th graders every year as they study the gold rush ere in U.S. history. They had the 'Gold Dust' play last month and this month was a full on entire school wide gold mining search game...
In groups of 7-8 they searched for gold and mined it...
Then had a huge cook out... Takes about 10-15 volunteer parents and 5 teachers to make this happen but it is such a fun event...

Morning Volunteer Parent Group:

My son's Grp (he is in the middle with the green bandana):

Our sons look so alike and are great buds...

After 4.5 hours of this event... We met at the lunch arbor for my daugther's Girl Scout meeting and drove their troop to a field trip to visit the San Diego Humane Society....
