Fashion Week

Day 5

Field trip today with my daughter and her class to the Science Exploratorium. Also her first school bus ride. So big things today!

Well I have actually really enjoyed this fashion week experience. If anything, its caused me to spend time actually thinking about what I wear everyday. Which is surprisingly fun! It was so warm and cozy today with its overcast skies that I got to enjoy bundling up in some warmer clothes for a change. And toasted the weather with 2 cups of coffee instead of one!

sweatshirt: GapBody $49
tshirt: Marshalls $7

Necklace: J Jill $49

DAY 4

My husband has the day off today and we are going to the park with the kids and because of this crazy warm streak we are having on the central coast, I was forced to wear shorts! Not my favorite weather, by a long shot. I tend to be more of a rainy, foggy, cloudy kinda girl and I've been looking forward to my fall wardrobe but I guess that will have to be kept in boxes for a little longer...sigh...

shirt: Anthropologie $20 (yes, a steal at Anthro!)
shorts: J Crew $59
Shoes: Born from Macy's (can't remember how much but I know they were on sale)
necklace: gifted from my dear friend Chelsea, just last week. Thanks Chels!

Day 3

So today was one of those "wake up late, jump on the treadmill and pray I can get a workout in, shower and dress in 15 minutes flat so that I get get my daughter to school" kind of days. I'm sure the rest of you moms out there know those types of days all too well. So I threw on the closest thing in my closet and once again, the picture will definitely be blurry and off center because I didn't even have the luxury of my 5 year old's talent with a camera this morning but I was relying on my 3 year old. Haha...so here it is:

Shirt: Target $12
Boyfriend jeans: J Jill $69
Shoes: Toms $54

Day 2

So this morning my husband wasn't home to help me take a picture so I enlisted my 5 year old daughter. That explains why its a little off center. Haha. So this is my church look for Sunday morning...

sweater: the loft $25
undershirt: Marshalls $7
skirt: the Loft $8!
tights: j jill $14
leg warmers: Cambria boutique $19
shoes: Sofft from Marshalls $39
necklace: gifted...thanks Nikki!

Fall Fashion Week!

DAY 1

I am excited to have a reason to actually get dressed in something other than the typical housewife get-up (aka...holey sweats, t-shirt, no bra). So this is a welcome little distraction I decided I would love to participate in for the next week. So here is my first outfit...

Sweatshirt: Junkfood from Collections $49
Jeans: LA Idol from Collections $39
Red tee: Nordstroms $25
Hat: Cambria Boutique $22
Boots: Koolaburra from Hautelook.com $160

I'd marry you all over again.....

As my husband sleeps soundly in the next room I so often think of how thankful I am to have him in my life. But how often do I tell him? So many times I see him from across a busy room or in a group of friends and think to myself, "How did I get so lucky?" But rarely do I tell him. Why is that I wonder? During the day, I'll study my children and see their dad's traits carry through into them and I'm so proud that so much of him is mirrored in them. But its not something I let him know I think about.

Right now I'm reading a book in which the parents of 3 children die suddenly in an accident. It has me thinking about all the things I don't tell Jeremy enough. That I appreciate him. That I still find him extremely attractive. That I still want him 3 children later. That the things he has to say are still meaningful and valid to me. And...that I'd marry him all over again tomorrow.

What if he were gone tomorrow and I never had the chance to tell him what an amazing father, husband, friend, lover, leader he's been to me all these years? So tonight I'm making it a point to tell him tomorrow. He deserves to know what a good person he is. I love him so much.
