Today was tough. The first half of the day I was in workout clothes since miraculously I managed to get out of the house in time to make it to gym for the 8:30 AM kickboxing class. And amazingly both kids did OK at the kid club house. Then ran around in the same clothes to two different grocery stores.
After coming home, lunch and putting both down for their naps and showering I had very little motivation to wear anything but sweats.
But managed to put on an ensemble I had worn last winter and beat the temptation of putting on my sweats.
Outfit: Brown leggings, burnt orange tunic length fitted sweater top, leather slouchy cognac colored boots, brown wide belt. The belt just did not look right but I didn't have to time to fuss with it. Managed to put on a Betsy heart shaped necklace and brown tone watch.
Activity: Taking kids to Fleet Science center at Balboa Park to take advantage of free museum Tuesdays. Packed place. The outfit held well. The boots have a slight heel but they are comfy (not as comfy as uggs of course). The leggings were comfortable to sit on the floor and constantly pick up my daughter to stop her from putting disgustingly dirty toys in her mouth. The belt was annoying as it kept moving up but oh well...

Running around with both Kids
Keep forgetting to take a photo of the outfits... Hopefully will remember at least once this week.
I find it is very hard to be motivated to dress in anything stylish at 6 AM. So, even though it will save me time to be dressed and ready, I opt to stay in robe and slippers and do other chores early in the AM. That way I am more motivated before going out to dress in something other than sweats.
Today's Outfit: Skinny jeans (figured would wear it one more day before throwing them in the wash), white tee with zebra design (forever 21 item), Yellow long cardigan (Victoria's secret). Would have looked much better with gray patent leather ankle boots but I went with black uggs for comfort. Until it warms up I always go with uggs it seems. Chunky multi-chain necklace.
Activities:
Take daughter to swim lesson, take son to hair cut, playdate at a friend's house.

Comfy but Chic
Today's Outfit: Dark Blue skinny jeans, black ugg boots, white tee with a black girl silihoute with some stone detail, argyle green/cream/black crop hoodie zip up cardigan. Big chunky black and clear necklace.
Like how the argyle goes with the graphic design tee and the chunky necklace adds some style while the uggs bring it back down to earth. If it was warmer I could have also gone with black suede ballet flats but uggs are just so comfy.
Activities: Visiting grandparents house, park, lunch out, lots of grocery shopping.
A lot of these items are from forever 21. That store can be intimidating cause first of all you think to yourself you are no longer '21'. Second of all it is a total chaos in there. Way too many clothes, packed racks and a lot of crazy items some of them very cheap looking. You have to be able to see each piece on its own somehow to figure out their full potential. Some of their pieces have so much good detail that it is hard to beleive how cheap they are. The trick is also pairing couple pieces from there with expansive pieces you already own. Then they blend. Now that I am a mom I do not have the funds to spend on brand names from head to toe. I tend to buy the most stylish pieces cheap as they only tend to last one season or so. I invest in classic items and never buy cheap shoes as they hurt your feet.
