High Tea

Don't you just love this color combination: Aqua blue with yellow!?
I loved it when I saw the following page in the J Crew catalog early fall of 2011:
I had this super old blouse that I used to wear to work with black slacks. I have always loved this color and I already owned the yellow cardigan. SO I saved this photo until I found and purchased the aqua cords from F21 and now it can be created:


 So you can see this looks a bit weird. That is cause this animal print was the inside of this belt and it has a super cute brass bow buckle on the front side that is plain brown. I really wanted to do animal print though so wore it inside out...




This pose was weird all perched up...

TODAY:
Morning was pre-school. In the afternoon we went to the indoor play area where I had signed up my duaghter for a snowflake tea party...
Had bought this dress for her at clearence at Kohl's when she saw this model and cried for it back in xmas. It is size 5 and too big for her but for the Snowflake Tea Party it was perfect colors and style so I let her wear it...




The tea party was on top of this castle structure....




After tea they read a story...

 Learning to hold the cup with the pinky out!


Learning to stir without clinging...



And the boys (big brothers) playing...

Color My World


Today's Fun colored combo was inspired by the following Chictopia post of AshleyRose:

I love the yellow and hot pink colors with the black scarf idea... Wearing denim shorts over leggings was cool as well...

To make it kid friendly during the day all I did was swap the platform booties with the flat ones!


I like it with the platforms better of course though...


 This scarf is tiny and sooo old during the time they were in fashion... Worked perfect for what I needed though...

 These short shorts are stretchy so they fit over leggins no problem and the dark rinse makes them work quite nicely...

I did my nails in yellow and the middle ring was a 3 stacking ring I got from F21 and totally forgot until today...

TODAY:
Another crazy fun day. We went to the Japanese friendship garden with our outdoor pre school class. Fed the fish in the Koi pond then did all sorts of Japanese art which was so much fun for them.
The teacher had a dochent give the kids tour of a museum with famous paintings as well...
Then had lunch in the noodle place next door.
At night we are having family friends over for dinner so it is going to be a fun and long night...
