I may need a sequin intervention

I just can't help myself....I love a good sequin! Casual or dressed up, a sequin can fit anyone's lifestyle.

Here is how I wore my sequin stripe henley yesterday to run errands with the kids, I really love this top and I am so glad it was restocked and then marked down because I skipped its first release.

And here is how I wore my sequins a little dressier tonight for an early dinner with the family and then off to work:

Here are the Polyvore's for the two outfits so you can get all the details. Also remember that tomorrow is LOFT's big event. I also saw on their facebook page there is a link on how to get an additional 10% off tomorrow (totalling 40%) so be sure to check it out!!

shhhh.....we're hiding

The weekend was crazy, cleaning and packing for our trip up to Northern California that we ended up cancelling the night before. So now we are on a "stay-cation" but no one really knows we are here. Pretty nice if I do say so! I am behind on blogging and taking OOTD photos but here are two quick ones!

Here is what I wore to church on Sunday, I just love this skirt!

Seeing Spots

It is almost Friday.....yay! This morning I headed out to Old Navy to take advantage of the Fundamentals Sale and stock up on some things for the boys. If I do say so myself, I showed incredible restraint and was able to walk through the womens section without grabbing anything but a casual cardigan for lounging. I am saving my shopping for a well deserved trip to J Crew for my birthday coming up next month.

Quick Note: The Weekend Jeans were well stocked in our local store and are $19.99 this week. Here is what I wore today:

Layered Ruffle Tank (on sale now): J Crew

Favourite Crewneck Cardigan: Boden

Denim Pants: The Loft via eBay

Juliet Shoes: J Crew via eBay

And here is what I wore later for date night. The strange thing about the weather in San Diego is that it may be warm enough for skirts and dresses but my legs sure aren't tan enough.

Speaking of shopping at J Crew, have you taken advantage of the 20% off knits and tees sale? I have a long wishlist but behaved and picked up just two things:

Tuxedo Ruffle Painter Henley 

and I finally caved in and got the Evie Ruffled Top in Ivory while it was marked down to $19.99, for that price how could I resist. See it on Gigi here.

My J Crew Catalog Interpretation

I love my scattered petals tank and have always loved the different ways that J Crew styled it. So today, I made my own "inspired" creation. Here is J Crews version:

And here is mine with a boyfriend cardigan from Old Navy and an Apt 9 pencil skirt from Kohls:

Have I mentioned how much I am missing my "mommy clothes"? I think my jeans are all going to start ignoring me. It is fun to be able to wear some of my nicer clothes but I am already over it!

I think next time I wear this tank I will go for this look:

J Crew Scattered Petals Tank

I have had a little crush on this playful cami for awhile but as a stay at home mom, it was hard to justify paying $88 on a silk tank that I would have few occasions to wear. But, lucky for me....it went on sale and I couldn't resist. The fit is great, I purchased it in a size 6 and it worked perfectly. It fits close enough to the body that it will tuck in and stay in place while still having a enough "blouse" effect.

I just love it on, it is so "crewlicious" and adds a little sophisticated fun to an otherwise conservative outfit!
Here it is on for a wedding reception we went to last night....
