Outfit 1:
Boyfriend jeans cuffes rolled up to calf length, black leather calf high square toe boots, flowery schiffon (anthropologie) top, burgandy shrug. All pieces I already owned. Like the sweetness of the flowery schiffon top offset by the rolled up jeans and rough looking boots. Chunky chain necklace and large onyx ring.
Activity: Babies'r'us to buy front seating car seat for my daughter who is turning 1, lunch out as family, taking kids to swim lesson.
Outfit 2:
Schiffon layered black BEBE skirt (owned it for years), purple tights, black ankle boots, white tee with grey design, black belt tied at hip, gray blazer suit jacket. Got the inspriation of this from a magazine. They showed it with purple skirt, black tights and brown boots. I swapped it up a bit based on pieces I already owned. I like the purple which is the unexpected item factor of the outfit.
I cut out inspiration photos like this one from magazines and keep them in my closet. Best is when you can match it up with pieces you already own.
Activity: Restaurant crawl (30th on 30th) at North park with the girls. Did not get to take too much advantage of the specials though. Had to leave pretty late after my daughter was in bed so a lot of restaurants had run out. But, it was still great hanging out with girls.
Will pay tomorrow I am sure when my son wakes us up again at 5 AM. Bought a clock for his room and tried to train him to not come to our room until 6 AM. Not sure if it will work.

Late Post: Interesting Combo
Had family and friends over for dinner so did not have time to post yesterday. My son is officially done with daycare.
Morning started funny with me trying to squeeze in a mini facial at 6 AM. However, as I reached for the light switch while I had just got into the running shower, I got electrocuted and let out a scream. My husband who had my toddler son in his arms comes rushing in. I tell him I am fine but my son who had just heard me scream and sees my face covered in my charcoal mask starts bawling thinking I hurt my face. So, hence spent the next 15 minutes explaining what is a mask and why you use it as I tried to shower!
Activities: Went to Disney on Ice with friend and son, take daughter to swim lesson, host 8 people for dinner at home...
Outfit: Brown khaki pants, sugar pink cardigan all buttoned up and worn like a sweater, red belt, with black boots and black purse. I saw this color combo of brown, pink with RED belt! on a cover of a magazine (i think it was Lucky) and thought what an interesting combo. And I own all these items. I got this very simple and small necklace at H&M for $4 it has orange, peach, pastel and hot pink colors. It goes with a lot of things including this outfit. Plus I put on my betsey pink heart cuff watch my mom got me to complete the look.

Casual Day
Casual day today running errands like crazy.
However, even casual can be fun and cute. Black capri leggings, hot pink dress like tunic from Victoria's Secret, dark green and black (zebra design) zip up hoodie from H& M and black short ugg boots. The focal point is matching the hot pink under the green/black hoodie. Safe way to go would have been a black top, but hot pink creates a pop of color and really brings out the green.
Oh, and as accessory Betsey Johnson silver charm necklace that has a monkey head, bone, and two hearts. The hearts are hot pink so goes great with the tunic dress top.
Activities: Dr. appointment, meeting a girlfriend for early lunch, nail appointment.
Later had to wear a pink tulle dress to match my baby daughter in tutu for her 1 year old photo shoot at JC Penney. The photos came out so cute. I had her in the puffiest tutu, pearl necklaces and custom handmade pink flower hair pin. Adorable. When they come out I will post the photo.
