I will be posting there , but not taking time to write posts here!
You can't tell put the green is added by a houndstooth print.
I paired my glass bead necklace with it.
Popping a head to toe color with a colorful shoe is one trend represented here..
Another option would be to wear classic neutrals and a pop in the shoe..
Dear Readers, Do you have at least one bright colored pump to try out this trend?
If you are not into wearing heels then I recommend getting a similar look by adding a colored pointed toe flat.
Here's a link to cobalt flats from Target.
I am grateful that DH and I met up for lunch today as we both took a break from running our separate errands.
I am grateful my husband was able to find his Dockers slim fit pants in his new size today, as he's lost 2 inches off his waist and his pants looked ridiculous…. He joked and called them his lucky pants as he sold a lot of deals in them these past two months….
I am grateful that our to do list is whittling down and I just have ink to buy to print our airline and train tickets, while DH has to get a new cell phone and maps for the GPS for Ireland.
With my love of femininity in my style, this would be a great addition.
I am considering the Navy one.
Fit n Flare with jersey top and scuba skirt might just be the answer!
Dear Readers, After having to redo an entire wardrobe due to weight loss and now moving forward in the same size for over a year, I feel more confident in making bigger ticket price purchases. I plan to start a new budget for myself of $250 per month and will be posting monthly how I choose to use those funds. I am looking forward to sticking to a budget and seeing what I do with it. In all honesty I probably have spent this much or more monthly if you include shoes and purse purchases, but have not kept track. I really didn't want to know what I was spending, but now I want to be more responsible and purposeful. Some months I may buy one key piece others I may by a few basics.
Before I begin this I plan to do a closet purge of some items that I thrifted and no longer want or purchase mistakes like we all make.
I look forward to starting all this once I return from Ireland. so perhaps November!
I am grateful for how this upcoming trip of a lifetime is making me feel close to my mother, understanding how she felt about her trip to Scotland.
We leave Just One Week from Today!
Black & Blue with Pattern Too!
Pattern Pants are always a winner in my book!
fortunately for me, they were just $19.99 on clearance, but now aren't available.
I wore this without the sweater until it got cooler in the early evening .
, as the proportions for my petite height don't work.
which is how I discovered the best proportions.
It's one I 've had for a few years and keep thinking about getting rid of, but haven't and I'm glad of that.
My Aerosoles mules continue to be a favorite.
I am grateful that my oldest is getting a wonderful surprise, which arrived today, for his birthday next week..
I am grateful that my youngest son did the chores I assigned today without making me ask twice.
I am grateful that the scale moved and I finally lost 2.5 lbs…hope that trend continues.
I also hope my new found love of late night walks continues.
I am grateful that my husband sent the tablet he won to our daughter who really wanted one for school.
I am grateful that my dress for Ireland came today and IT FITS!
Today was homeschool bowling, so this was perfect casual look.
I am wearing my Old Navy pixie pants again. love them..
Did I mention they have a lot of stretch????
I bought this Joe Fresh sweater over the summer and was happy to wear it..
I love this belt I thrifted and this is the one belt i am going to take to Ireland.
Dear Readers, I didn't even mind the rainy day because it meant a second day of layering…I am so excited about the cooler temps, but am limited in my selections as I have not unpacked Fall clothing and don't anticipate that I will do so in the next 10 days prior to going to Ireland… I did however amass quite a few new items for the season and will have fun wearing those right away..
once I get them all unpacked and ready for the season.
I am grateful for a fun day meeting a new homeschooling mom and chatting.
I am grateful for a secular group of mother's to discuss homeschooling.
I am grateful that my son had a great time and is fitting in well with this group.
I am grateful that my husband is no longer outside measuring in rainy days like this and my worry about him is over.
I am grateful that my 14 year old photographer didn't even balk at taking my photos with a steady rain falling down on us.
I've been waiting to wear this new sweatshirt from H&M that I bought over the summer for clearance pricing.
I love the white jeans with the blues..
I chose the simple Avon tassel necklace to just add a vertical line down the middle.
I like that styling trick and use it often..
It felt great to wear layers and heels!
Today's temps match what the temperatures in Ireland have been recently..
I am loving my Just Fab purses, I've never been one to spend a lot on purses, so these work well for me..
Dear Readers, It's going to be a tough time trying to homeschool these last days before our trip.
Who cares if we are done by January and moving on to all new classes?
There's a lot of pressure as a homeschooling mother to prove our children are soaring, but why ?
In my case he was making great grades in Public School , but struggling in reading and writing….
I've already done better than they did, with him now reading high school appropriate books.
Your turn, What do you stress yourself about needlessly, does writing your thoughts on it help set you straight?
I am grateful for blogging as sometimes I don't know where each post will lead, It was nice to write that out about homeschooling and realize I stress myself out needlessly!
I am grateful that my husband called just recently to report another successful day.
I am grateful that my husband is doing so well with this job since he resigned from the management position.
I am grateful for the chaos that caused him to resign, as he is more profitable and less stressed.
I am grateful that my daughter and I booked her flights for a wedding where she is a bridesmaid for her friend and for her to come home for Thanksgiving.
With less than two weeks to go I had to stop playing around..
It met with DH's approval , so now just keeping my fingers crossed that it fits right!
Wide leg linen pants and polk a dot sweater.
but with today's temps it helped to again fake Fall..
I am wearing my Ying/Yang Necklace and the purse if from Just Fab.
as I usually stuff a few items in my husband's pocket and forgo lugging a purse..
I am grateful for leftovers for dinner with a late starting homeschooling day.
I am grateful that my son is doing well with the new home-school program.
I am grateful my husband is pushing me to walk nightly cause my resolve some days isn't strong.
I am grateful my husband is getting excited about the Ireland trip and researching online things to do.
