My outfit Wed night for the BIG family get together….
The inspiration from this Mango Ad:
I loved the pop of Orange jacket and my cropped 3/4 sleeved cotton one was much more appropriate for the hot climate here than the blazer in the inspiration… I didn't have black sandals with me so wore the white strappy ones and I think they make a better statement!
Jacket - Kika Paprika (the piece that was named 'daphne')
Shirt - H&M
Faux leather dolphin shorts - H&M
Heels - Bebe
Necklace - Forever 21
Bracelets - Cookie Lee
Sunglasses - Wildfox
TUESDAY:
Didn't wore an outfit on this day but spent the day at the beach with my Turkish friend who lives in San Diego and has a daughter same age as mine. Invited them to come to our beach while my mom and step dad were in the city for the day:
WEDNESDAY:
Wednesday we spent the day at another beach with friends but had an unfortunate event of my friend's daughter being bitten by a fish and a whole commotion of getting the poison out and calling a Dr etc…
The good news was she was OK at the end.
At night we were invited to a huge family get together and to celebrate my mom's cousin's birthday at their house…
We had close to 40 family members!
My Grandpa comes from a family of 6 siblings each of whom had at least 2 to 3 kids (my mom's generations) and those had 2 to 3 kids (mine and my cousins' generation) and then we started having kids.
So it was a joyous get together of generations of family welcoming the new ones and honoring those who are no longer with us….
