Not Easy

 This is what I wore Monday to start yet another work week...

The inspiration is from Cabi's last season catalog:

Since I lost the weight this all looked a bit too slouchy and some what drab but I had very limited time in the morning so just had to accept and go with it...

The inspiration photo is much more fitted. I tried putting the belt on the outside like hers but the vest was too loose and the belt was too big to cynch up around my natural waist.

Top - Gap

Pants - Threadsence

The Joy of Dressing

 What I wore on Monday...

Inspired by these cabi looks:

 However, instead of a faux fur scarf which would have been too warm for the day I put on a silk scarf which is very much making a come back this season.
And luckily I had saved all my silk scarves from years ago so have a nice collection to go with... :)

 Loving these cropped distressed jeans from Zara. I temporarily moved my other black jeans to a side closet and will be going with these quite often for that edgy on trend look...

Well, when you have kids the Valentine's become a family event and a fancy romantic restaurant is replaced by a kid friendly chain that is convenient to the kids activities...

Going Urban

 Today's outfit for our very adventurous urban play date...

The inspiration came from last year's In Style June 2011 issue:

 I decided to go with pants instead of shorts...

When I got out of the car the whole group was already in the parking lot waiting and I was about to ask if anyone was taking strollers when they all started commenting on my hair. I had forgotten already my hair had changed and this was the first time they were seeing it!

TODAY:

Mommy Summer Camp had a very fun trip on the dock today. We met at a local mall's trolley stop then took the San Diego Trolley to downtown and walked to the baseball field's playground. The kids who had never been on a Trolley before loved that portion. We had a small glitch when we got the field as they wouldn't let us in even though we had checked to make sure they were open. One of the mommies was determined and put up a great case and had them open it up for us. After some vigorous play we took the kids to a burger place which of course given that it is downtown was not quite for kids. Poor customers took pity on us and vacated a booth so we didn't have to sit at the high tables. After lunch we took the trolley back. 17 kids 8 adults we were quiet a group!
