Neon Lights at the farmhouse cafe

 My outfit last night going out with the girls for my best friend's birthday...

The inspiration was from the Nordstrom catalog:

I liked the idea of a-line skirt mixed with mint and flat sandals. I didn't feel too comfortable wearing a cropped top so went with this bustier instead and added the silky bomber jacket I had purchased months ago but never worn on top.... This skirt is super cool. Has a leather look the length is perfect and it has pockets!
And wearing flats was liberating as I always wear heels when going out with the girls but felt flats played down the sex appeal of the mini skirt and gave it a casual vibe...

If someone was taking my photos they would have lined up the zippers in the back but these are all tripod photos...

YESTERDAY & LAST NIGHT:
It was a jam packed day as usual. In the morning we went to the outdoor class to register for the summer session. Then came home and prepped all the materials I am going to need to start the kids on their summer workbooks. Then to my son's school to pick him up from his last day of school and then went directly to the beach by the school. Even though it wasn't sunny it was warm and the kids dove into sand and even got wet in the ocean. By early afternoon we came home. I fit in an insanity workout while my mom came over showered the kids and took them. Which is when I showered and got dressed and went out with the girls...
I am so happy to be working out again. Last week was such a blah week with no energy as I took a break. I love the energy workouts give me and putting good food in my body allows me to workout at a better performance too.
Today our summer officially starts....

Graduation

 Today's outfit was from a very old inspiration back from Sept 2011 issue of In Style....

 This is more of a work/office outfit but since I do not have an office job I figured why not. It was conservative yet chic perfect for my little man's Kindergarten graduation!

Got lots of compliments on my necklace (Christmas gift from my husband)...

This khaki pencil skirt is so old but timeless. It is lined and stretchy so very easy to wear...

TODAY:
Big day today for my son... Took him to school then came home and tried to finish again all the piled up laundry that I didn't do this weekend. My mom and Dad met me at home and we went early afternoon to my son's school to watch his Kindergarten graduation ceremony. My brother and his family and hubby met us there. He was probably the only kid with the most family members present at his ceremony. They sang 6 cutest songs and then their names were called out as they gave their teacher a hug and officially became ready for 1st grade!
I can't believe how fast time goes by.

With the girl he likes in his class...

With his teacher who we'll miss so much...

Blushing Bride

 What I wore to my little sister's bridal shower on Sunday...

Her and I found this dress last month at Bebe's sales rack. First we thought I would wear it in Vegas but felt it was more afternoon dressy event dress than a clubbing dress. The silky non fitted style was comfortable for this event...

1st SATURDAY NIGHT:
We were out until 2 AM Saturday night once again line dancing at the country bar this time with another group of mommy friends...  For some of them it was their first time. We had a blast though trying to do these extremely complicated and definitely sweating moves.

SUNDAY:
Woke up after 5.5 hours of sleep not feeling great but got ready and went to the grocery store and picked up the party cupcakes before heading to my mom's house by 11 AM to start the set-up. Thank goodness 3 of her friends volunteered to help so with all of us we managed to get everything done. The set-up and the table looked so cute. Everything was finger food so we didn't even use silverware.
The 'blushing bride' drink turned more red than pink but it tasted good.
The weather co-oporated and it was a very nice party...
