Inspired

Last week M & M's mommy tagged me on Polyvore to create  a set using one item from her set. I chose to use the tiered ruffle skirt since I never pull mine out of the closet. Here is the Polyvore I created:

 Since it was more of a fun set, I used a lot of items that I don't own (yet). So yesterday I decided to create an IRL set inspired by Polyvore and here is what I came up with:

I substituted the Coralie cami with the tissue garland tank in Sepia and I have on a pair of old Mootsies Tootsies shoes. This interpretation works better for my lifestyle but if I ever get my hands on the cami and the amazing Juliene heels, I may just have to try it out!

CDL Baby

Today is a typical mom day, instead of Paulie and The Situations "GTL", mine is "CDL" (chores, diapers, laundry). Today is such a packed week as we approach our next trial date in April. I have a social worker visit today and then tomorrow I have to drive 45 minutes to meet with our adoptions case worker right after carpool. Truthfully, I will be very happy when I don't have to meet with two to three different social workers a month, especially when they all want to schedule their visits in the same week. However, I do think that the meetings are the right thing for the county to be doing, these foster kids need to be checked in on to be sure they are safe.

Okay, more like Sepia and Dusty Blossom but you get the point. This has to be one of my new favorite color combinations, I can see it looking great with white denim this summer. I love how the embellishment on this tank works with a cardigan. This is one of my favs the Maya Cardigan , which is designed to be closed. I hate covering so much of the embellishment but the dusty blossom pink was my favorite tone match to the "cinnamony " color.

On a completely unrelated note, today my Nook arrived....yay. I have been waiting anxiously for my backordered Christmas present and have been cursing at (well, not really) every thing that has taken me away from starting a book today like showering, feeding my kids, running to the grocery store but now I am off to read Shiver.
