End of the night it's going down

Saturday NIGHT outfit was inspired by this Michael Kors Ad in December 2013 issue of In Style:

So I took the concept of metallic jeans, sequined tank and fur vest but changed it from silver/black white color scheme to bronze, gold brown palette!

The colors worked nicely together right? It was a bit odd feeling cause my arms were cold and yet I was warm… But enough alcohol you don't feel anything! :)

Vest - Kenar

Top - H&M

Pants - Forever 21

Purse - Ralph Lauren

Boots - Steve Madden

Necklace, bracelets - Cookie Lee

SATURDAY NIGHT:
If you read my previous post you saw what a loooong and tiring day I had on Saturday. I could have easily curled up under covers with a cup of tea and veg in front of the TV but we had this amazing night planned and I would never flake. So I tried to rally up with a warm shower and a face mask to revive myself and got dressed and even managed to pick up the house and empty the bags and coolers we brought from the soccer field.
My girlfriend picked me up. She is a mother of 3 and had an even crazier than I and was still going to pick up her oldest daughter from an evening birthday party after returning from our event!
But, that is just what we have to do. If we still want to go out and have fun we just suck it up and organize and plan like crazy to make it happen.
We picked up our other two girlfriends and drove downtown to meet another 3 girls there!
It was the first time I combined my 'girls' group with my very close 'mommy girlfriend' group. But they all meshed great and I think everything had a good time.
The even was called "GASLAMP RODEO"… Gaslamp is the name of the downtown region of San Diego. The event included 5 bars with country ambiance with fun events and drinks. Our tickets got a free ticket at each bar but we found it was the same 'moonshine' cocktail! Might explain the quick buzz we all reached as moonshine is quite strong.
There was dancing, corn hole games, lots of laughing and photo taking…

SATURDAY:
It was a looooong day. We left the house by 8:30 AM car packed with bags and bags of stuff we will need for all the crazy activities. Set-up camp at the fields my son's soccer tournament would take place. His first game was at 9 AM but it was a joke cause the opposing team was 5 players short! Instead of having them forfeit our coach landed them our players so the kids can still play and warm up. But our kids hate it cause they love to play as a team for the same side. Obviously we wont 7 to 0 or something like that. During the break my husband drove my daughter to a birthday party she was invited to of course on the other side of town. He dropped her off and came back to watch my son's second game at 11 AM. This was competitive and they had a nice victory advancing them to the finals. My son scored one of the goals so he was happy.
Then we had quite a down time and our coach sub'd our kids to other teams that needed players for fun.
During this time My husband and step dad drove back to pick up lunch and pick up my daughter and change her into her soccer uniform. They came just in time as the championship game had started.
Man was that stressful. It was so intense as both teams were so good an the kids were giving 100% but unfortunately the other team scored one goal and we could never quite recover and the time ran out.
When the whistle blew our kids threw themselves on the grass from despair.
But it was a great season and our coach was amazing.

After this and utterly tired at this point we packed up and drove to another field for my daughter's final soccer game and trophy ceremony. Unfortunately though we could only stay for the game and had to leave the kids with my parents for the ceremony and came home to rally up and change….

The evening will be another post…. stay tuned….
