Another semi chilly day so wearing a sweater combo I had noted in my list but never tried it out. Also, planning to go out with hubby to celebrate valentine's day early while we can have a sitter (grandparents). So, picked outfits where the same jeans can be worn to minimize my getting ready time.
Outfit 1: Boyfriend cut jeans with cuffs rolled up to calf length, white shawl collar neck cashmere blend sweater (bought from Victoria's secret 2 years ago), skinny bronze glitter belt, cream ruffly calf lenght boots (bought them years ago and have worn them only a few times). The belt is my pop of color. The little glitter of metallic bronze adds interest. I got this for $4 (i am not kidding) at forever 21. Plus the boots are interesting and with the jeans rolled up their ruffle detail truly shows. Accessorized with betsey heart necklace. The boots have heels but again chunky and not too high so managable as long as you are not walking much.
Activity: playdate at another mommy's house.
Outfit 2: same boyfriend jeans rolled up, white tank with silver glitter trim at the neckline, black boyfriend blazer, black patent heels and black and white skinny belt. Black fringe purse. Chunky glitter necklace and real diamond small hoop earings. silver watch and lots of silver chain bracelets all worn together.
Activity: Dinner at Piatti's then a movie!
I am actuallly getting used to heels again. :)

Two Outfit Day
It is still chilly here in SD so taking advantage and wearing my chunky cardigan outfit again.
Outfit: white skinny jeans, brown banana republic top, chunky fair isle cardigan, cognac slouch boots.
As I wrote couple weeks ago, white jeans can be worn during winter and match great with brown and neutral tones. They are also not as scary as you might think with kids. Because they are white you can always bleach out any stain so they are very functional. Just might not last all day.
Activity: Outdoor toddler class. The heels on the boots are chunky so they are fine in sand on the playground and not too high where you can still lug two kids and push a stroller on grass from parking lot to park.
Outfit 2: Black skinny tuxedo pants, purple fitted ruffle bottom top both bebe. Platform ruffle purple suede shoes from Steve madden. Chunky multi chain necklace great bargain find from forever 21.
Activity: Fundraiser cocktail party at a bar in Downtown with my sister in law.
The shoes are surprisingly comfortable contrary to their high rise platform height. I actually put on this night time outfit in the afternoon but wore a long black wool cardigan and ugg boots over it as we hung out with the kids at an indoor play area. That way I can just put on the shoes and the necklace and swap the cardigan with leather jacket and dash out the door moments later my husband got home to take over.

Very cute outfit but the low riders are driving me crazy
Outfit: Dark blue skinny jeans, brown sweater/jacket fitted top, brown tall boots pulled over the jeans, betsey johnson heart necklace, juicy hoop earings.
Activity: Indoor toddler class with the kids in the morning, Dr appointment in the afternoon.
Today's outfit looked really cool. The top is something I bought from a realtive's boutique in Turkey. Very different. The main part is made a like a jacket from wool suit material. The waist is satin with a zipper but what makes it super comfy is the sleeves are sweater material so it is very easy to move in.
My jeans on the other hand were driving me crazy today. They kept riding so low that my thong showed everytime I sat or bent over which is very often when you are chasing after two toddlers. I am not sure if it is because they stretch out or something. I am going to try wearing them with a belt to see if that fixes the problem. Very annoying.
