Whatcha Wearing Wednesday

I traveled to Chicago for Blogher 2013 last week and took some pics of a few of my outfits.  I was quite happy that I managed only a carry-on sized bag for the conference and didn't need to use my second duffel that I had packed on the route home.  It was also the first year that I didn't buy anything new to wear to the event.  No costumes, sweet dresses or anything else were needed.  When I mentioned on Twitter that I had packed only two pairs of shoes my friend Jodi declared, "Two pairs of shoes for BlogHer?  You win at life."  Maybe just in packing skills.

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday- Stitch Fix

Is there anything more exciting than a Stitch Fix box delivered to your door? Well, the answer to that is a bit complicated. I LOVE getting that little box in the mail. "Oooh...what's inside?" my brain buzzes. I dream of Breton-striped tops and swishy skirts with cute accessories. I rip open the box and squeal in delight as I sift through the layers of soft and fluttery fabrics, chunky knits and um... long sleeves and sweaters? What the what?! … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday- Summer Days

We've been having a real laid-back life here lately. It's what we need and what summer is all about. I think that if you can grab that time, then go for it. Since a majority of my time is being spent at swim lessons by the pool or hosting kids at my house, I'm not into layering accessories or wearing a whole lot more than shirts and shorts. This happened- … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday

Just back from a week long vacation spent in the sun, at the pool and on the beach, I have no inspiring outfits to show from the whole trip. It was just me and my bathing suits each day with various pairs of aviator,  Jackie O sunglasses and hats put on for cover.  I may look tan but it is really just one giant freckle glommed together despite SPF slathered on from head to toe. I wore the heck out of that swimsuit! I packed at least two others but found this one just made me happy each time I wore  it.  It wasn't until the second time that I realized it was a yellow polka-dot bikini. Beach day!  We spent a gorgeous day in the ocean until dark clouds approached and soaked us to the skin just before reaching the car.  One of our favorite days away.   Home again, getting … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday – Rainy Days

As typically happens on a busy week I try to plan what I want to wear the night before to avoid a morning fashion disaster. Or you know, wearing gym clothes or khaki shorts and a blogging T. Except when the rain happens and you have a bazillion errands to run with two wee ones in tow it ain't too practical to be wearing a dainty chiffon dress like this one by Everly. … [Read more...]

Watcha Wearing Wednesday

These last days of school are just F-U-Double L, FULL.  The kids are worn out from special activities, I'm worn out from crafts, baking and end of the year events.  At the same time I am a little sad.  Last night The Comedian had Open House at her school's Summer Science program.  It was bittersweet because it is her last year at that school. A place that has very much become a part of our world in the last five years.  When TD's first teacher remarked that our youngest, The Fifth Element, is the same age that TD was when she started out there I almost shed a few tears.    Onward! New school, new adventures, new memories and friends next year. WIWW Necklace by Jeweliq Shirt by Target Jeans by Forever 21 (similar) Sandals by Target … [Read more...]
