Punk

 My outfit Thursday was inspired by this:

 Graphic black and white tee over the tartan plaid jeans worked out great.

I added some sparkly studs and slip on sneakers for the full cool effect….

Got sooo many complements on the pants from people at my kids' school….

Tee - Zara (birthday gift from my sister)

Pants - Rock Republic

Sneakers - Sam Edelman

Purse - DKNY

Necklace - Forever 21

THURSDAY & FRIDAY:
Volunteered at my daughter's class in the morning then came home to start working on the garage a little bit. Did the main work on Friday but had to clean out the little stuff like my daughter's art supplies on Thursday to save time.
Then met my parents for lunch and went back to school top ick up the kids.
Had a bit of time at home then it was off to Soccer Practice for my daughter then dinner at Rubio's…

FRIDAY was the big Garage clean-up day. Every single item was under a half inch of dust in there.
Emptied every single item first, hosed off things that withstand water and let them dry under the sun and wiped things that can't be washed. Had to sweep twice then mop with soap then rinse the floors. My arms were aching. Then started putting everything back at which time my mom came to help out. Finally finished it and got showered and dressed to pick up the kids and welcome my in-laws for a weekend visit…
The best reward was them taking the kids to dinner and putting them to bed while my husband and I went out for a date night! :)

Matchy Matchy

 My outfit Wednesday was inspired by this photo where a blogger was creating many outfits using 5 or 6 pieces...

Liked the simple combination, definitely too matchy matchy but sometimes it is a change of pace for me….

Top - Anthropologie

Pants - Zara

Sandals - C Wonder

Purse - Steve Madden

Ring - Swatch

WEDNESDAY:
Worked on a few drawers in my room as far as my house cleansing project goes, it was half day for the kids so picked them up and they played leisurely for a while on their own at home.
After homework took my son to swim practice followed by a 2.5 hour soccer practice. Good thing is our carpool plan has started so I just had to drop him off and come back home with my daughter. She enjoyed a long solo bath then we browsed the 'American Girl' doll catalog together and had some quality time.

Down the rabbit hole

Monday's outfit was inspired by this photo:

I forgot to add the mustard purse which I owned… Oh well…

I took the idea of wearing a patterned shorts and tops that had the same color hues in them… Topped with a denim vest….

 Tried the remote feature of my camera but you literally have to point to get the shot which kind of limits my poses. Does anyone have recommendation of better remotes with better signal capacity?
Also, it seems like it didn't focus when I was doing the remote which was the whole purpose of using the remote. Not sure….

Vest, shorts - Forever 21

Top - Blog win a while back

Platforms - Luxury Rebel

Bracelets - Cookie Lee

MONDAY:
The week has started and I poured myself once again over the organizing efforts.
I worked on rest of my closet which once again thought it would faster but of course it didn't. You wouldn't believe how many bags I am generating to donate and to give away to friends.  The downstairs entry is filling up with rows and rows of bags.
After my closet I thought I would quickly attack this tiny closet under our stairs. Boy was I wrong about the time it took. It was first of all very dirty. So there was a lot of cleaning and wiping involved once I got everything out.
I feel sore and exhausted after these cleanses and also sneeze like crazy due all the dust I inhale but feel amazing to have each area clean and organized.
The problem is you don't really see the progress if you didn't quite see what it looked like. I am going to try to remember to take photos of at least one closet so I can show….
In the afternoon we did homework with the kids then started my son back to his swim team practices…
