In the end we'll all become stories

 What I wore last Thursday...

With the coat:

Inspiration from Pinterest:

This was such a cool outfit. The dress was somewhat form fitting and short but the high boots provide leg coverage and the bulky tartan scarf made it look chic...

THURSDAY:
The day was crazy with running errands and volunteering at school, packing, taking kids to baseball and gymnastics and then leaving them with a sitter and rushing to my book club meeting!

We just finished reading:
"Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis" by J.D. Vance

It is a phenomenal book.  I highly recommend it. I would have never picked this up if it wasn't for my book club and I am so glad I read it. The author captures the root of this culture so well and though totally loyal and proud of his heritage he also remain unbiased and holds them responsible for the problems they face.

As usual so many laughs and great discussion with my dear friends. I love hanging out with these intelligent well read women.

The Spanish Galleon

 What I wore Wednesday...

Inspiration from Pinterest:

People always think they can't pull off these elaborate outfits for regular life but I seem to have no issues with it...
Yes, it does look dressy and different but in the core of the outfit is very comfy and practical. The fur lined shoes are pretty much slippers. The bottom is a jean. The top is a blouse with a sweatshirt...
Very basic. What makes it different is that each piece is no ordinary 'slipper', or 'jean' or blouse' or 'sweatshirt'... :)

And when we are at the ice rink, you add the animal print coat!

WEDNESDAY:
My son's crazy 4th grade 'Spanish Galleon' project is finally finished after 2 weeks of major work primarily on my part...
It was a fun exhibition seeing all the other ships the other parents made as well...

This was our inspiration:

Here are some other kids ships:

 This is what I wore Tuesday as it was raining a bit here again and I had seen this on Bee's website...

Loved this bright and bold inspiration...

The thin layers were actually quite comfortable to move in...And got so many compliments on my embellished beanie...
