Walk this way

 The inspiration for this outfit came from Glamour's August 2011 issue:

I used the idea of a pop color fur coat to create the look with my purple one!

  Decided to go with silver accessories with the statement necklace and chains of the purse and even the hose of a bit of silver glimmer...

 Keeping the rest of the outfit plain gives the whole attention to the coat!

White silk tank & Boyfriend Jeans - Newport News

Purse - Guess

Heels - Kate Spade

Sunglasses - House of Harlow

And to make this outfit kid friendly I switched the fur coat with a green knit blazer and the pink heels with pink flats. I liked this version just as much....

 The fact that the flats had a bit of green in them worked perfectly for the outfit!

 Don't you just love the hair? I love it when I wear colors that truly show the dark bottom part! To achieve this side swept look I blow dried my hair at night and put it in a high side pony tail! In the morning it was perfect.

Can you believe this blazer was a yellow tag deal at F21 for $14!?

TODAY:
I had a 7 AM infusion appointment so that sucked getting up that early and missed the family breakfast at my mom's... It was nice to get caught up on most of my magazines though. Took the kids to gym class, got my car washed and detailed (buffed out my latest dent) and costco grocery shopped.

Spent the afternoon at home...

Finally wearing this adorable top I scored at TJ Maxx like 5 months ago! I lined up 5 different outfits with it but haven't worn them yet. The issue is I have too many outfit ideas and not enough days to wear them!

 The top is silky in the front and soft almost sheer cotton in the back. Even the sleeves are half and half.

 Added layered coral beeds and a heart charm. The coral red rose ring and a gold watch and I was done.

 Obviously the funky part of this outfit was the black ankle socks in coral heels! Totally out of my comfort zone but I just did it!

 Sitting in front of my faux fireplace in the living room lined with all my b-day cards!

 Posing all over the living room/dining room area of the house today...

Today's Activities:
Decided to take it easy today cause we have been doing some hard core playdates and have a big one at our house tomorrow so today was a rest day. Hit TJ Maxx first to look at some workout tops. I realized all of mine are very crop (you know from that era and when I had flat abs) so I needed some longer tops that is going to keep my midsection covered. I must say shopping for workout tops is not as fun as I thought it would be. Not that much selection. At least at TJ Maxx the prices are decent cause I can't see myself shelling full price ranges of $35-$50 for these. Of course when can you go to TJ Maxx and not find other stuff. They had a super cool selection of winter felt hats at F21 prices. Also some cool flat boots. I plan to wear more boots this fall/winter and need them to be flat. Looking for a distressed gray and a light tan color. I found some but haven't totally decided on them yet.
My son also found some dora lego set that was on clearence he was very excited about. He talked literally non stop about it the entire time! He is sooo into legos now.
Then we went to the indoor play area and had lunch there. It was packed but kids made some new friends and had a good time.
After naps the plan is to grocery shop for tomorrow.
My best friend came over and we attempted some crazy highlight project on each other's hair! Photos to follow later....
