Casual Friday + Moments of the Week




Top - Lush (similar here for $16 and another option here)
Blazer - Gibson
Pants - Hatch (similar here on sale!)
Shoes - Enzo Angiolini (similar here)
Necklace - J.Crew
Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs
Watch - Michael Kors
Bracelet - DIY project

STYLE TIP:
Camo/Military is a huge trend right now.  
Just remember two things when wearing it:
1) mix it with neutrals such as camel, black, cream, olive, etc.
2) throw in at least one feminine element to add a little softness.  Here I wore my favorite pearls...


Moments of the Week

"They Invited Me Again!" Moment

Everyday I look in my mailbox for a certain  invitation...and the other day it came!!  Jury duty!  I was so excited.  
This is me receiving the same invitation last year.  I was excited until I opened it up and saw the date...
The legal system invited me during my spring break!  What the heck?

Well, I was certain that this year would be different.  But it turns out that the government seems to have bookmarked my spring break as the week to invite me.  Big fat poo-sandwich!

"I'll take that as a compliment" Moment

I took Cooper to my school to introduce him to a few of the office staff whom I adore.  As they are loving on him, a 3rd grader whom I work with walks in and sees me.  He rushes over to give me a hug (major melt moment) and then he looks up at me and the following exchange takes place:

Cute lil boy: "Ms. G...you look different."
Me: "Well you're right!  I'm no longer pregnant!"
Cute lil boy: "Huh?!  No...that's not it.  And I don't even know what pragmat means."  
He looks at me for a minute then he smiles.
Cute lil boy: "You are wearing a new shirt!"
Me: "Um, yes.  This shirt is fairly new.  And pregnant means that I had a baby inside me.  I gave birth to him a few weeks ago.  That is him over there!" 
Cute lil boy: looking at the baby and then looks back at me and crinkles his nose "Gross..."

He looks genuinely disgusted, looks at me one last time and then simply walks out the door.
Gosh I miss my kids! :)

PS - Excited to see what looks you pull together for the March "Trend of the Month Link-up!"  Details HERE.  And this month's theme is...
