Ho Ho Ho

Can you believe it is December??? Christmas is right around the corner so I got into the spirit the other day by throwing on a big red sweater. I realized I had zero red in my wardrobe so I have been trying to add a few red pieces in my wardrobe here and there.

Here is the Polyvore for this (the items will be listed below each set) and what else I have been wearing this week. I have not been able to get back in the OOTD pic habit since the kids went back to school but I will get better....promise.

And last, but SURELY not least.....Chase wanted to show off his muscles for you. What can I say? He is a character

Gotta Love Some Contrast

Yesterday I finished the clothing part of back to school for the kiddos. I have very fashion conscious boys (especially Chase) which my husband blames me for. Since he hates shopping and clothes are just a necessity to him, I'd have to agree they take after me!

Afterwards, I had to run by the highschool to drop off some paperwork for Jonas' cross country and it was the first time I had been back on campus at my old highschool since I graduated. I have to admit it was pretty nostalgic. Have I ever mentioned that we ended up buying a house seven years ago that is just a mile from where I grew up? My parents don't still live here but it has been really cool to see my kids at the same elementary, middle, and now high schools that I went to. The walk around Poway High was by far the one that brought back the most memories (go Titans). 

Here is what I wore:

Who Needs a Jungle?

I had a hard time capturing how cute this top really is in a picture. Especially since the beginning of a ginormous headache was hiting me. I despise headaches that lay you out! Don't they understand that mommies just do not have the time for them??? My kids go into a weird panic mode when daddy says I am "off limits". They will find millions of ways to sneak into my room, truth is.....it warms my heart.

Back to the Animal Asymmetrical Ruffle Button Down Shirt (geesh that is a long name), I really love this top and it is a great substitute for J Crew's giraffe print that I missed out on. The material is polyester done right, it is really smooth and soft and it hangs really well!

Jas-pe (adj.) given a veined and spotted appearance imitating jasper.

So, it cooled down just enough yesterday to get away with wearing my new Jaspe sequined slouchy sweatshirt. It is such an easy piece to wear and no need for accessorizing. I can't wait to see what all the other JCA's do with this piece. For me it just screamed messy pontail, cuffed jeans and heels.

This is the end of the day shot so my lipstick (and sanity) is gone but the shape of this sweater did not change or stretch through the sleeve pulls and toddler tugs. It is very well made (and better be for the price). I honestly can't put my finger on why I love this sweatshirt and I am sure some of you may think I am crazy for this one......

See it here on Dina , Summerilla, Gigi and Slastena . I got mine in my true size, Medium. It is big but I feel it was meant to be so I didn't size down. However,  I also love the way it looks tighter on Slastena.
