A (not very pretty) Week in Review

Okay,this was Saturday's post that I hadn't put up. I even titled it "Don't hate me because it is beautiful outside" and wrote:

Yes, I am wearing flip flops, it is still in the 70's here. I grabbed this quick snapshot as I ran out the door yesterday for a picnic at the lake followed by the playground (which is why I have on flip flops. Sand with flats don't mix well. Sorry about the poor lighting and yes, the mirrors are really dirty in my bedroom. Cooper loves to hide in the closet (insert joke here) so his handprints and colored on it with an orange crayon  which left wax lines everywhere. I am sure one day I will miss that when they are all grown up......hmm.....maybe not.


So then what happens from my good weather bragging? Back- to- back storms bringing lots of rain and wind. I know, we So Cal girls are spoiled, I don't mind a little rain (since it is a novelty here) but four straight days of hard rain and wind.....makes me super lazy and stir crazy. So, even though I have been getting dressed and taking some snap shots, I haven't been posting any. Here is a recap of my uninspired week!

Monday
A little light rain (which I love) so I dressed in wintery colors and ran a few morning errands. This outfit was inspired from Amy's look from here

Belt-Old Navy
Tuesday
First really stormy day. Dressed for extreme comfort and a morning run to Old Navy. Weather got nasty and knocked down a large part of our Eucalyptus tree, blocking the whole street and missing my neighbors parked car by inches (no exaggeration). Salvaged evening by watching Coraline and having a pizza party in our living room with the kids.

Possibilies Cardigan (knotted up)-Anthropologie
Wednesday
Getting really tired of the rain and wind. Plus my whole front yard is covered with cut up pieces of our tree. Got the bad weather blues and dressed that way since I only left the house for carpooling.

Thursday
Still raining, everything is flooding but my kids rooms are actually clean from being held hostage by the weather. Can you tell how exited I am about the rain now? My shoes were on my feet for about an hour, the rest of the day was just fluffy socks! Really hoping my Boden order will arrive to cheer me up and remind me of warmer days. Does anyone know how Boden ships (i.e. UPS, USPS, Fedex, etc)?

Layers Sale

Had to do a quick post to let you know that Layers Clothing is having their 50% summer clearance sale to make room for their Fall arrivals next week. This is a great opportunity to get some great and easy pieces. I can't wait to see their fall line! Last year was full of beautiful ruffled pencil skirts and tailored dresses....

The Erica Blouse is only $17.99 and reminds me of this one from J Crew The Hayden Dress is a great layering piece, so many potential looks and for only $20, who can resist?

Right now in San Diego we are in the middle of a heat wave which has been not only uncomfortable, but incredibly frustrating when I have so many fall looks I am waiting to try out!

When it is 90 degrees out, it can be a challenge to try to look cute while staying cool (and modest) so my "go to" pieces are my knit dresses. I love that I can have the comfort of a tee shirt and still receive compliments on being nicely dressed. I thought I'd share a few dresses I have been wearing the last few days:
