Just a pigment of imagination

 Today's bright combo was another Bee (from Atlantic Pacific) inspiration:

I just love the combination of blue, orange and yellow with a touch of animal print (see shoes) and pearls!

TODAY: 
Morning was spent with work conference calls this time done in peace in my home office while my mom came over to take the kids to the outdoor class at the park. I then accompanied my dad with his Dr appointment. Since my parents had to work no one to babysit the kids and I couldn't stay with my Dad during his chemo but my brother did.
Afternoon was the indoor play area...

I didn't have the heart to delete or crop these photos.
Here is the real background on how 
mommy bloggers do a photo shoot:

Notice the flying goggle my son threw right into my shot below:

I love this one cause look at me all trying to pose 'cool' and the kids next to me totally contradicting that 'look'. Love it!
Just a tad different that Bee's locale on a street with a nice cup of coffee! But I wouldn't trade my setting it in a million years! 

Not sure why they are in swim suits. They were like this when I got home. My step dad said they wanted to swim in the pool which of course is not warm enough at all so they put on their swim suits to play in the imaginary pool created by my lovely collection of pillows on the living room daybed!

Another day in paradise

Styling this cute tee from the line I sell with dark skinny jeans and a cream blazer jacket...
The inspiration was from the ChiccaStyle Blog:

I was initially going to add my white blazer but then felt the cream/off white one looked softer against the yellow...


 The cream/brown owl charm necklace picks up on all the colors and the green clutch adds a pop of color.

I have brown platform booties like the inspiration photo but these were more practical for a day in pre-school and I was too lazy and out of time to do a photo op with the others...

Here is the cool 'Beth' tee by Kika Paprika under the jacket:

When I was doing the above photo shoot though the kids wanted to get in on it so took some cute shots...

Waiting for the sun

So nice to be actually take photos somewhere other than around my house...
My mom and step dad wanted to take the kids today so I can catch up with work and housework and my hubby suggested we go out to lunch. Since I was going to go out with my friend in the afternoon I wanted to dress once. When we parked this gorgeous brick wall of a parking lot was right there perfect for a quick photo shoot before lunch!

The inspiration for the outfit was from this Chictopia Post from the Oh My Vogue Blog:
This was just a simple combo and reminded me of this mustard yellow silky dress I own from Forever 21. Perfect way to wear it again...
