The power of blue

 This was my outfit to my best friend's birthday party Saturday night!

The inspiration was from Forever 21 looks:

Except when I added my black blazers it just didn't look right. So I added this super cool lightweight sheer and faux leather striped jacket and it was a winner…..

 How do you like my new colored lens ray ban's? Took forever to find the smaller 53mm in this color but it was worth the hassle. They look tiny off but fit perfectly to my face!

 Jacket - Threadsence

Top - Philip Lim for Target

Shorts - TJ MAxx

Necklace - Forever 21

Heels - Shoedazzle

Purse - Kate Spade

Sunglasses - Ray Ban (shades daddy website)

Bracelets - C Wonder

SATURDAY:
The day was spent cleaning up randomly accumulated piles all around our house! Especially after birthday party with presents things just were piling up. So I attacked each pile and put things away. Then paid the bills and started on my son's room. Need to get rid of so many sets of toys he does not play with and lower level books and decided to leave him with bunch of open shelves so he can put the lego sets he builds on them. Had the cut the project halfway as I had to get ready and having the kids all day all my work was being interrupted every 10 minutes. My hubby was also very productive and pressure washed our entire back yard right before the season.
My parents and came and got the kids and we got ready and left for my friend's party.

It was such a fun party with amazing food cooked by her little sister and a very fun elaborate team game organized by her brother in-law….  And for the first time my husband came with too so that was cool….

With her 3 sisters in the order of age!

FRIDAY:
It was my daughter's and my last day of preschool today! Quite a milestone in our lives and definitely marking the end of an era of 'mommy and me' classes I have been attending for the last 5 years.  The good news is hopefully will keep seeing some of the people via summer playdates and our teacher thru book club.
Afterwards we visited my friend who was admitted to the hospital for chest pain. I know how it is like to be in the hospital stuck to a bed with no outside connection so even though she was getting discharged we wanted to keep her company for just a little while. Then came home for a little bit and went to pick up my son and as promised took them the library then to the rec center so they can play before his swim team practice. I keep forgetting the practices are longer on Fridays and we didn't get home until 30 minutes before my book club meeting I was hosting!
Got them quickly showered and settled and my husband brought take out for them while I got ready for my friends and our meeting.
We had as usual a great discussion on our last book called 'Dept. Of Speculation' by Jenny Offill. A weird book that got really good reviews from critics but not so much from us. The interesting part was the way it was written using a distant narrator voice and just stream of consciousness thoughts that usually do not tie to each other. You follow the story from a very distant stance and never truly feel connected to the characters and therefore the book.
The cool thing is we picked a whole list of great books to read in the next few months and also picked our meeting dates too….

Wednesday's outfit was another inspiration from "Not Dressed as Lamb" blog:

This was a unique combination I would have thought of. Looked cute though...

 My husband got these cheap sunglasses for himself but the style looks odd on him and they fit my face perfectly! :)

Shirt - Ralph Lauren

Skirt - Thread Sence

Sandals - J Crew

Necklace - Bauble Bar

WEDNESDAY:
Went to preschool class then left early to sign trust documents at a lawyer's office then stopped at home for lunch. PIcked up my son and directly went to to their dentist appointments. Came home just for a little while then took them to swim practice. In the midst of all of this I tried to fit in a workout but had technical difficulties and it took 3 tries but finally finished it by dinner time when my friend came over. That way I could watch our shows with her after the kids went to bed.
