Happy Mother's Day

My lovely new dress was already hanging in the closet - so I unwrapped this, this morning...

The boys served me breakfast in bed (yes, Diet Coke is part of the breakfast of champions!) And then it was off to church.

Where it was way (like, way, WAY) too cold to be wearing these outfits. But we needed our family photo snapped for the pictorial directory and I wasn't about to coordinate different outfits on the fly for five people ;)

As much as mama loves her material things (and trust me, she does) nothing compares to these faces. I love these little men to bits.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

OOTD - Celosia on Saturday

I couldn't wait to pull the trigger on this cardigan during J. Crew's 20%+FS promo last week. I'm also wearing my new Sand Dollar necklace, which I hesitated buying over a year ago and have regretted ever since. When one popped up on Ebay, I pounced. I was excited for both pieces to arrive in my mailbox, and neither disappointed.

Items in this set:
Women's sweaters - merino - Ruffled spring Celosia cardigan - J.Crew, $98
Old Navy Womens Ruched V-Neck Tees, $8
Old Navy Womens Distressed Boyfriend Khakis, $33
PARRAS, $30
Sterling Silver Diamond CZ Stud Earrings SELECT CARAT SIZE!...

I'm off to baseball this afternoon! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!

OOTD - School Spirit

Today is the Race for Education at Harrison's school - so the whole family is decked out in green and white. My outfit is pretty boring, but I thought I'd show you the fit of my new Elle jeans. Compared to the Weekend Jeans at Old Navy the waist is exactly the same, but I'd say these are a bit more relaxed in the hips and thighs. On sale for half price, the cost is comparable to ON, too. These may be a good alternative to those of you looking for white denim without the rock n' roll edge ;) Elle Convertible Denim Capris

Sweet Reward

The silver lining when I receive my Gap bill each month, is the Rewards Certificate they include to soften the blow of the total amount due. This month I used mine to order these Marc by Marc Jacobs earrings. Love.

The size is perfect!

Kohls Finds

Thank you for the suggestions on where to find white jeans! Unfortunately, the Martin & Osa's are much too long, The Loft are too long and too big in the waist and the J Crew are too expensive for what I am willing to spend right now (although, they do look pretty much perfect!) I've searched retailers websites high and low and was ready to give up!

Then, this morning I went to Kohls to find some tee's for my mom for Mother's Day and spotted these white jeans by Elle. On sale for half price! I thought it might be too good to be true, and quickly headed to the fitting room with them. Happily, they fit great! And the price was too good to pass up! Has anyone tried Elle jeans?

As happy as I was to find the jeans, they weren't my best buy of the day! I also scored these cute, cute, CUTE Mary Jane's for $9.99! They are still full price on the website, but check your stores, mine had multiple pairs on the shelf. Normally, I don't shop for myself at Kohls, but there were some treasures to be had today!

OOTD - Easy Breezy

Just a whole lot of running errands on the agenda for today. This outfit is so comfortable, and rumor has it the Ruffles Everywhere Tunic is now marked down to $20 if you can find one in store!

See? Easy.

OOTD - Yeah, Not So Much

As much as I love my Weekend Jeans from Old Navy, the white version is not for me. When I spotted them on others, I thought they look relaxed and easygoing. When I saw them on myself, it was just the opposite - someone who was trying too hard. The full-on holes in the knees, are just cooler then I am. I promptly placed these back in their original packaging and put on a pair of my Lucky's. But I'm getting desperate. I need some white jeans. Please point me in the right direction if you have a pair you love. I'm looking for cropped or cuffed and on the cheap. Help!

Old Navy Weekend Jeans
J Crew Grosgrain Wedge Flip Flop, Lilac Stripe

This Boden tee is a little gem with it's polka dots, ruffle neckline and comfy fit. I will resist going back for more colors, at least until I have some white denim to pair them with. Nudge, nudge.
