Still Chic under the downpour

It is totally rainy and cold today! No time to come up with a new outfit so wore an ensemble from previous weeks. The jacket/top is so comfy and just right for this weather. I didn't even need a trenchcoat over it.

Outfit: Blue skinny jeans (this time wore a belt underneath so the jeans won't keep riding down and exposing me), brown jacket/top, tall brown leather flat boots, betsey heart necklace and michael kors brown/gold watch.

Activities: taking son to dance lesson, kid ventures, shopping at costco and dinner/playdate at a friend's house.

Nautical Twist & Jeweled tone night out

Decided to go a little summery today since the weather is really nice again at least part of the day. This top is your classic nautical piece. It also goes great with white jeans and a red long bead necklace too. Since the weather permits I wanted to use my yellow scarf again. I wear this scarf so much and it is not even mine! It belongs to my mom. The key to keeping them up to date is storing them all twisted and tied in a knot. That way they keep their crinkle.

Day Outfit: Boyfriend jeans with cuffs rolled up (Newport News), navy and whit striped tunic short sleeve top, yellow scarf, white rocket dog sneakers. white michael kors watch and rose gold hoop earings.

Activity: Kid concert, ice cream outing and park.

Really taking bold steps with my night outfits this week. I have seen this slouchy socks in open toed sandals look in all the spring catalogs and runway shows. I ventured out to find the perfect hot pink socks. Amazingly I scored a pair exactly like I was looking for at TJ max for $6 and they were Kate Spade! Coincidentally I had also bought these black platform sandals at TJ max last year. Love the hot pink stich detail. The dress is from a 'Thread Show' last spring. It has a lot of couture details for under $100. I wore it to my cousins wedding last summer. The look of summer ruffle mini dresses with boyfriend blazers is also something I saw in magazines and plan to use it quite often at least until it is warm enough to wear the dresses without any jackets.

Night Outfit: Bold color block patterned ruffle strapless mini dress, black boyfriend blazer, Kate spade hot pink socks, black platform sandals, chunky chain necklace, black patent leather clutch, rose ring.

Activity: Step Father's gallery reception in San Clemente and dinner with friends and family afterwards.

Hats and Bold Colors

Two outfit day and both had one bold risk taking piece. I can't say whether it worked out perfect or not but it was trying something bold.

Outfit 1: Black skinny jeans, white tee with graphic zebra design, yellow boyfriend cardigan, ugg boots. Black bead necklace and the BOLD PIECE: a black and white hat!

Activity: Outdoor toddler class, doctor visit and kid ventures (indoor playground).

I am glad I wore a fun tee underneath because the minute we got to the park the weather changed and it was very warm. I kept the hat on for style purposes even though it was pretty hot. The way the hat sit it sometimes blocked my view partially and hence I hit my head on of the jungle gym bars but otherthan that it worked out fine. 

Outfit 2: Grey pencil skirt, blue/gray top with red rose design and schiffon collar detail, lack thick elastic belt tied at waist, BOLD PIECE: red tights!, grey boots, grey purse, black leather jacket. Small black rhinestone hoop earings.

Activity: Dinner out with mommy girlfriends.

The red tights was definitely very bold and eye catching. I can't way it looked awesome but definitely different. I always wanted to wear the since I saw a similar ensemble at a fashion show last spring for the upcoming winter line. I never had the courage to pull it off. I am glad I tried it out at least once! :)
