Not the most interesting outfit today but finally got the old manequin from my mom and managed to put the outfit on her and take a photo.
Hope it works.
Outfit: Dark grey skinny jeans, grey top with mild design and studs, grey and silver scarf, black crop cardigan and black calf length military boots. Studded silver earings.
The combination lacks that 'focal point' or 'pop of color' I always talk about, but I do like the all muted grey tones. Kind of goes withe rainy overcast day we are having today.
Activities: Grocery shopping, playdate at a friend's house. After naps, library sign and story time followed by browsing books.

Same Outfit - slight changes
Since I only wore yesterday's outfit for just a couple hours figured I can wear some of the pieces again.
Same concept but less dressy.
Outfit: Instead of yesterday's satin brown pants, wore brown khaki pants. Same teal t-neck and same chunky fair isle sweater. Instead of cream high heeled ankle boots, wore flat brown boots. Instead of the gold glitter belt, went with skinny double brown belt and kept the t-neck untucked. Instead of the long and heavy necklace went with a smaller stone version that is not as clunky or long.
Activity: Went to a playdate at a friend's house in the morning. After naps, squeezed in a grocery shopping, a return and a frame purchase at Michael's and then rushed to the park playdate for some fresh air before the rains come later this week.
I find running errands to be a big challange with 2 kids. Even if the stores are in the same strip mall they seem to be never that close. You either have to park close to one store than stroller or shopping cart carry the kids betwen stores or deal with the hassle of putting and buckling them in and out of car seats for a 5 minute run in errand at a store. Haven't figured out which method is better. At times like these it is good to wear flats and have layers on top so you shed the top layer when you get hot from all the running and lifting.

Super Bowl Party
So, cheated first half of the day as I wore my black velour sweat suit. Kids woke up all through the night and had no motivation what so ever to wear anything else in the morning.
Napped while they are napping and got some energy and motivation.
Outfit: Brown satin pants, Teal cotton t-neck tucked in, bronze glittery thin belt, cream ankle high boots with ruffle trim, long gold chain/blue stone necklace and chunky fair isle cardigan with fur trimmed hood. Before the cardigan the outfit does seem too dressy but the chunky cardigan brings it down to more casual and makes it very cozy. Great for the rare and seldom cold days like this one for San Diego.
Activity: Super Bowl party at a friend's house with another couple of friends all with kids same age as ours.
Outfit worked most of the time. The necklace got in the way couple times banging on my daughter's face but other than that pretty functional.
