Dig a litte deeper

Ok, going back to the outfit I skipped which is from Sunday…

The inspiration was from Bloomingdales November 2013 Outfit photos:

Fedora - Asos

Denim Shirt - From Turkey

Tank Top - Victoria's Secret

Pants - Bebe

Booties- Betsey Johnson

Bracelets - Bauble Bar

(Well look at that? Nothing from Forever 21!….)

SUNDAY:
Lets see…. There was Turkish School and then no other major plans thank goodness as it has been a tough weekend with getting up early so I enjoyed having no plans. BUT still had to grocery shop to get back on track with the nutrition plan for the week and of course many loads of laundry. But daddy was home to entertain the kids with swimming so it wasn't that bad….

If I had a world of my own everything would be nonsense

I didn't post yesterday's outfit yet but decided to skip it for a day to be current and post today's outfit instead...

Well it is St. Patrick's day so I had to wear green of course and the inspiration was from Forever 21:

Mine is the non cropped version of the outfit...

My friend was commenting on Saturday why I don't do some of those poses we see in magazines of models just kind of lounging or doing daily tasks. So here is my first attempt which is laying on the couch. Had to put the tripod on the coffee table and aim down. Was a little concerned it would fall on me!

I do like how this photo came out.. :)

Sweater, Gingham Blouse - Ralph Lauren

Pants - Kika Paprika

Necklace - J Crew

Oxfords - Shoedazzle

MONDAY:

My son and daughter woke up so excited to see if the leprechauns have been into the house and fell for the trap we made. They had left some chocolate coins but no luck catching them.

Then we took my daughter's trap we made couple weeks ago to her school. Naturally it was one of the most embellished traps among the bunch… But they were all so adorable…

OURS:

The class carried them all outside and laid them to see if we catch any leprechauns by the end of the class.

They did all sorts of crafts in class and it was a great time…

Then end of class they went back out to check out for leprechauns in their traps….

Forget me not

This is what I wore to brunch and card making class with the girls on Saturday…

I found this super cute sweatshirt and pleated blush skirt at Nordstrom's lookbooks...

Added these such darling cat eye sunglasses trimmed with pearls… Gift from my mom….

This super fun ring was an airport purchase from 'swatch' years and years ago during one of my trips to or from Turkey….

The nude sandals my sister bought me to wear as her matron of honor at her wedding….

Sunglasses - Gift

Sweatshirt, Skirt (Tildon) - Nordstrom's

Sandals - Nine West

Necklace & bracelets - Baublebar

Ring - Swatch

SATURDAY:
Morning was brutal. It could have been worse but my husband took pity on me and took on the 7:15 AM team photo shoot for my son and gave me 1 extra hour. I still had to get up at 7 and leave by 8 to make it to his 8:30 AM baseball game. My husband left to watch the tennis tournament in Palm Springs with a friend and I had the kids. After the game we only had one hour which was not long enough to go anywhere so we stayed at the premises killing time then had my daughter's acting class. When it was over I rushed to drop them off at my mom's and step dad's and rushed back home to change into this outfit and drive 30 minutes north to meet my friends.
We had an amazing brunch hosted by my friend's sister. Homemade strawberry goat cheese salad and two flat bread pizza's! With signature gin and orange burst or white wine spritzer cocktails.

We then went to this up scale paper/craft store for our 'card making' class. My friend had won this class for 6 at a fundraiser auction event and invited me as well. Not sure if I will ever make cards like this but it sure was fun being all crafty with no children. :)
