Give a little hope

 This is what I wore yesterday. So much has occurred since then …

But here was the inspiration from September 2013 issue of People Style Watch:

Jacket - Mom's (vintage)

Sweater, Skirt - Forever 21

Purse - Arden B

Booties - Steve Madden

THURSDAY:
The days are blending to each other and we are going through a very trying time right now with my Dad but we are certainly trying to make most of our precious time together. The kids and my husband are so happy to have him in our home.
Yesterday (Friday) it was a crazy day with hospice paperwork and meetings and stuff going on and I never got a chance to really get dressed and on top of everything else it just made me more depressed and emotional. May be it is kind of a self therapy for me to feel like myself when I dress up.

To the Point

 Yesterday's comfy outfit came together so cute…

The inspiration was from Lucky's September 2013 issue:

 I love this 'fisherman' sweater. It is thick so I save it for those cold days. It has the right amount of bulk to contrast with the tightness of the leggings. 

And my leather front legging s with zipper detail I felt was cooler...

 My super old work shoes from the past...

 Sweater, Leggings - Forever 21

Hat - Thrifted (was purchased for a costume)

Heels - Steven

Purse - Thread Show

WEDNESDAY: I had my own infusion appointment in the morning so dropped off my daughter at my mom's so she can take her to pre-school. Afterwards they kept her for the day so I rushed back home to be with my dad. Getting him to go out mid day so he can get some fresh air and vitamin D from the sun and a change of pace from the bed. After I picked up my son he even laid down in the living room to play Chess with him as he dictated the moves. 

Then my daughter came home and we did swim practice and back at home for a nice dinner together.

 Yesterday's outfit didn't come out as I imagined… 

The inspiration was from Victoria's Secret Fall (2013) edit:

 As you can see I actually own this same tank from them but even in size small it has too much material and the whole looks a bit too baggy/frumpy… Oh well. You know me for an everyday look, I stick with the outfit even when it is not my favorite. I honestly do not have time to change.

 This is a very old skirt from Banana Republic. I used to wear it to work. I am not crazy about the cut as it has no shape but it is a high quality fully lined maxi skirt with two side slits so I keep it for those rare combo's I need such piece...

Jacket - Forever 21

Tee - Victoria's Secret

Skirt - Banana Republic

Sneakers - Converses

TUESDAY:
We went to the outdoor class which was quite small as people are still struggling to get back into routine I guess. The weather I thought was supposed to continue warm but the park was right on the water and it was soooo cold I was freezing. Couldn't wait to get back to warmth. Had to go pick up my dad's prescription at the drug store which was a mess cause they didn't have it ready and we had to kill 30 minutes in there where my daughter had two potty accidents and every time we went to the restroom I couldn't hear the announcement so had to get in line to find out if the pills were ready and the girl kept acting like she had never seen me. It was one of those scenes you see in a sitcom I have to tell you.
We did have just a little bit of time to go to the indoor play area then it was picking up my son and coming home for homework and dinner and baths...
