Soldier On

 This was my outfit on Wednesday... 

The inspiration came from a shopbop lookbook photo from couple seasons ago:

Jacket, black necklace - Forever 21

Slip Dress - Mango (from Turkey)

Boots - Steve Madden

Feather necklace - Thread Show

WEDNESDAY:

Indoor class with my daughter then we rush to pick up my son as he has half day. At home they played a bit then we finished homework. Then it was tennis lessons and dinner back home...

PINK HIGHLIGHTS

 Today's fun outfit for a playdate at a friend's house was inspired by the July 2011 issue of In Style Magazine.

This combo reminded me of my slip dress which I could pair with my orange cardi and fun wooden beaded necklaces... Perfect combo too cause it was sunny and somewhat warm today but still chilly in the shade so the cardi and summer dress were very practical...

Cardigan - Gap

Dress - Mango (from Turkey)

Necklaces - from Turkey

Watch - Marshall's

Bracelets - Target

Wooden Platforms -  (from Bloomingdale's sale)

TODAY:
We had a very nice playdate today at my friend's house. We need some of these days in between the wild and crazy field trips we take that exhaust us. House playdates we enforce that all kids play outside so the toys and inside of the house does not get wrecked. We get to sit and actually chat and relax just a bit. Still between cries and falls and breaking fights and potty accidents...

SO, GETTING MY HAIR DONE TODAY! Going to attempt 

PINK HIGHLIGHTS or more of a PINK DYED TIPS...

Here are some inspirations I am taking to the hair dresser:

The Hunt Begins

 I am just on a roll now, not only caught up but posting mid day... Only cause we are going to be leaving for a little get away very soon... 

Today's outfit inspiration came from Lucky Magazines December 2011 issue:

 This is just very simple but anytime I see simple combo's that uses pieces I don't wear often I jump on the opportunity to re-create... Plus it is so easy for me to get ready if I have a visual of the inspiration...

The simple 'slip' dress from Mango purchased when i was in Turkey 2 years ago...

Added this colorful and big scarf. Also serves the purpose of covering the a bit too open cleavage of the dress...

 Notice the double strap neon pink watch! That is a relatively new purchase from Asos...

 Boots with socks was perfect against the not so warm weather and still be able to go bared legged with a sun dress...

Dress - Mango

Scarf, Denim Jacket - Forever 21

Boots - Madden Girl

Watch - Asos

TODAY:
Again woke up in a daze this morning overwhelmed with all that needs to be done before I am even out of the bed. But you just get going and thank goodness I am fast. Managed to put away all the dishes from last night, clean -up the rooms and stuff 2 dozen plastic eggs with cut up stickers and left for pre-school.
Made the mistake of signing up for the art project which was making bunny baskets from milk cartons. Man, was that a messy task. :)

Then we took the kids to the back field to hunt for easter eggs and one mommy dressed up as the Easter Bunny. Kids loved opening each egg when we got in the car and cherished their goodies. Amazing how 5 pieces of cheerios can seem so cool when they come out of a plastic egg!

And We bid farewell to our good friends as this was their last day! :)

WE WILL MISS YOU!!!
