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...

 Coat, Scarf - Forever 21

Dress - Cotton On

Boots - Shoedazzle

Sunglasses - Gucci

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.

Run with Me

 What I wore Friday...

Inspiration from Revolve:

You can make a fitted black dress casual and mommy wearable by adding a baseball cap and sneakers and tying a hoodie at the waist/hips...

Dress - Forever 21

Jacket - TJ Maxx

Sneakers - Adidas

Cap - My school logo wear

FRIDAY:
I do gate duty at our school gate Friday mornings then go in and snap a few photos of kids during their morning run club and listen to their Friday Pledge where each Friday a different class performs a patriotic song for everyone. After the bell rings and the runners start lining up they play dance music to get the kids in an upbeat mood. It is really a fun environment marking the end of the week.
