Everchanging Cadbury

So, found these super cute lavendar pants at F21 yesterday. I could not beleive the price. I have been wanting to do an outfit with spring pastels and the pants were perfect. Thought it looks interesting with my lizard print silk green shirt. I tried on so many different belts and shoes with this combo and really liked how these flats look with the pants. Of course the pants have silver zippers and the sandals are gold. Oh well. The hot pink belt, is still a choice I question. What do you guys think?

Lavendar skinny pants - F21 - $13.50

Silk Shirt - The Limited 

Gold Sandals - Dolce Vita - $100

Belt - F21 - $7

Today's Activities: Easter egg hunt and picnic lunch at a local neighborhood park by my mom. Hair appointment while the kids napped at home with my husband.

In the afternoon we went to the zoo. Since the weater was cooler I changed up the outfit. Swapped the pink belt with a black one and added a black cardigan and a silver chain necklace. Also swapped the gold sandals with uggs. I thought black converse sneakers might have looked super cool. I need to order a pair very soon.

TIP OF THE DAY:
I had two friends ask me about how I tie my scarfs. When I showed them I just simply twist it around my neck they said theirs didn't look like mine. I realized it is probably due to how they store their scarf. To get that ultra crinkly look you have to store your scarf as follows: ring it out like it was a wet rag you were trying to get rid of excess water. Then fold it in half and ring/twist again. finally tie it in a knot. Store it this way. When you are ready to wear it simply un tie. I will try to demo how I tie mine tomorrow but that part really is not tricky.

Who are you calling a 'mommy' now?

I love this outfit for more than one reason. 1st of all it is sexy even though it includes a button up professional blouse and a blazer jacket and boots by just bearing legs. 2nd it defies all the old fashion rules of not combining navy with black with brown. (navy jacket, black boots and brown belt). 3rd it makes me feel 6 feet tall with legs to match that height (I am only 5'5") and 4th and the one that counts the most my husband loves it.
My inspiration for this outfit came from a phot in Vogue. I cut the page out leaving the designer they were portraying so not sure who it was but the look stuck. These shorts are new as they are 3 inches longer than all the other jean shorts I own. The blouse is an old work shirt (great example of using old work clothes). The blazer I found on sale at F21. And of course my juicy boots makes the whole look. The shirt has stripes that go with the brown in the belt. Not sure if the photos show it.

Tonight's Activities: Celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We went pretty casual. Did not make dinner reservations and decided to shop together instead of individually. That way we left with no stress once my father and sister arrived to babysit the kids. Walked around downtown La Jolla shops. I bought him a whole new outfit. We looked for a purse for me but did not see anything I liked so it will have to be postponed. Had a nice dinner, followed with drinks.

Hubby took these photos, went a little overboard, but this was the first time he actually enjoyed taking my 'outfit' photos so here they go:

Casual with style

Going once again very casual today. So, this was on my list and when I read it off it didn't even make sense much to me. But, I must have been inspired by a photo or something cause when I put it on I got it. Once again the pants and the t-shirt by themselves are boring. But simply tucking in the tee, adding a belt and a colorful scarf makes a huge difference. And again since I am always cold in the mornings and the afternoon had to have a jacket to go with it. Went with this cream hoodie that has a very cool design on the side.

Today's Activities: Shopping at UTC mall while parent entertain kids. The goal was to look for tank tops for my son to match his 3 new swim suits he got a while ago for this upcoming summer. But somehow ended up at Guess and Forever 21. Bought two great cardigans at guess on sale that I will probably wear forever. Bought the coolest lavendar pants and my first and only romper from F21. I plan to wear the pants tomorrow to the egg hunt tomorrow morning.

Hosted a mini playdate at home in the afternoon. Went out tonight which will be posted separetely.

TIP OF THE DAY:

When adding a scarf as an accessory, I use this rule, if you have patterned top (or striped) go with a solid color scarf. If wearing a solid color top, go with a patterned (or striped) scarf. Due to popular demand I will discuss scarf storage and tying in the next couple of days.
