Make Each Day Count


Saturday's inspiration was from the Who What Wear website that I frequently get inspirations from:

Obviously it is a loose interpretation of this inspiration.  It was too warm to wear my mustard sweater so I went with the yellow one and no gloves.




 Everyone comment on these shoes whenever I wear them. People think they are uncomfortable but they are flats and of course we know that pointy toe is beyond your actual toes so it doesn't effect you at all. They are definitely statement shoes.


Sweater - Victoria's Secret
Blouse - Bebe
Skirt - J Crew

I don't even know the days… They are all kind of mashed together. Emotions are running wild from one moment to the next. My dad's condition is changing so rapidly it is impossible to cope and adopt but we do somehow. My brother is here and is staying, family members are trying to make arrangements to come. My family is helping with food and the kids. Starting this week i will have to engage friends as I don't know if we'll make it from one day to the next.

Went to the 'Pinkalcious' play with my daughter on Saturday when my dad was still OK:


Today (Sunday) the boys got together at Dad's house to watch the big Charger Game:

Before I left the boys to their game...

 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:

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.
