Make Every Outfit Count

 What I wore on Wednesday... 

Very loosely inspired by this from Pinterest:

I tried a scarf but it was better without it...

Jacket - Cabi

Tee - from Turkey

Jeans - H&M

Booties - Vince Camuto

Choker - Express

WEDNESDAY:
I started a new meal and workout plan. Similar to the one I did the last few months: Very clean eating and short but effective workouts. This one is even easier cause you batch cook a few meals and repeat them alternatingly so less prep time...
The kids seem to love these recipes too so it is quite working out.

Such happy news today as well my daughter passed the test of her ice skating and moved up another level!

You are not the same as you were before

 What I wore Tuesday night as I met the girls for dinner and drinks..

TUESDAY NIGHT:
The girls and I met at one of those 'secret enterence' bars called the 'Grass Skirt'...
Even though you can see the place from the sidewalk there is no door to get in.
The trick is to go to the poke deli counter type looking place next door and they open up the freezer door to allow you to enter here! :)

In the end we'll all become stories

 What I wore last Thursday...

With the coat:

Inspiration from Pinterest:

This was such a cool outfit. The dress was somewhat form fitting and short but the high boots provide leg coverage and the bulky tartan scarf made it look chic...

 Coat, Scarf - Forever 21

Dress - Cotton On

Boots - Shoedazzle

Sunglasses - Gucci

THURSDAY:
The day was crazy with running errands and volunteering at school, packing, taking kids to baseball and gymnastics and then leaving them with a sitter and rushing to my book club meeting!

We just finished reading:
"Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis" by J.D. Vance

It is a phenomenal book.  I highly recommend it. I would have never picked this up if it wasn't for my book club and I am so glad I read it. The author captures the root of this culture so well and though totally loyal and proud of his heritage he also remain unbiased and holds them responsible for the problems they face.

As usual so many laughs and great discussion with my dear friends. I love hanging out with these intelligent well read women.
