High Fashion Plaid

Weather continues to be cold (for SD anyway) so continuing to wear my boots.

Outfit: Skinny jeans, cream/peach/brown colored plaid shirt untucked by cynched with a double brown skinny belt. Slouchy boots over the skinny jeans. Topping it all guess rabbit fur white jacket. Betsey brown heart necklace and Michael Kors brown/gold watch.

Activities: Taking son to trial dance class (spent the 85% of the class sitting on the floor with him), watched acrobats in Horton Plaza mall in the afternoon than a horrendous dinner at chuck-e-cheese. Never again!

The outfit held really well. When it got hot or when my son was having a very sloppy choclate ice cream treat I took off the white jacket folded inside out and tucked it under the diaper bag over the stroller for protection.

Original - Winterizing a Summer Dress

Well, the weather has all of a sudden turned back to normal here in SD. Kids have not been sleeping again so had a real hard time picking an outfit in the morning. Also my activity was going to involve a lot of walking and it is sometimes tough to be stylish when you have to wear sporty walking shoes.

AM Outfit: Seven bootleg jeans, pink guess henley top, grey hoodie with pink/blue graphic design, pink diesel sports shoes. Made it a bit fun with betsey pink necklace and pink/silver heart bracelet.

Activity: Taking the kids to the zoo in the AM. Hit Kid Ventures (indoor playground) in the afternoon before shipping the kids to grandma's house!

The outfit was barely warm enough. The sun never came out so it remained chilly. I actually could have worn uggs but had no idea the temp could drop so much from the day prior.

For the night I put together an original outfit. I always see mag photos where they wear cardigans or blazer jackets over summer sundresses to make them versatile in winter/fall as well. So, tried it out on my own items.
Night Outfit: Mustardy yellow satin sundress, brown cardigan, light brown skinny belt with brass detail somewhat tied around my waist instead of buckled, cognac colored slouchy boots over tan color fishnet stockings. Gold hoop earings. Light brown Chloe purse. To top it all banana republic khaki colored trench coat.
Activity: Dinner at a downtown restaurant with family to celebrate sister-in-law's b-day.

The sundress and the belt were both from forever 21. The dress cost something silly like $20 and the belt was $8! But paired with a few hundred dollar boots and a purse that costs triple the whole outfit total makes them look pricey!

Purple and Orange

I learned my lesson and wore my jeans with a belt so they wouldn't keep riding down. It worked like a charm.

Outfit: Dark blue skinny jeans, purple t-shirt (slightly loose fitting), crinkled scarf wrapped around multiple times to be just around my neck in purple, orange and pink colors, orange patent flip flops.

Acitivity: Outdoor toddler class in the morning, grocery and TJ max shopping in the afternoon.

I knew it was going to be warm later in the morning but it was still chilly when I left the house so I wore a long black cardigan and my uggs and swapped them for flip flops after I got to the park. In the afternoon went back to uggs.
I do love wearing scarfs especially when the weather is in between. Not too hot yet so you can stand wearing them. I feel they immediately make the outfit more fashionable even if it is just jeans and a tee-shirt in reality. I feel the same way about big statement necklaces. If you wear them over your jeans and t-shirt they look very chic and so little effort.
