L-o-v-e

 
I saw this sweater on another blog and would have sworn it would be expensive.  Nope, it was from Forever 21 and it was on sale for $10. Yippee!!!  It's also very warm and I've been burning up all day.  
 
We had a casual day to raise money for a charity at work today, so I decided to try this look out.  I don't normally shop at Forever 21 because it isn't really for my age bracket, but they sometimes do have cute, age appropriate things.  The only problem is, their website is overwhelming and I get exhausted looking for stuff.

Nosebleed


We were gifted with five free casual days of our choice in the month of December.  Friday's are always casual, so I purposely planned my days so that I could finish out the remainder of the work year in denim, so you'll see me in jeans all week. 

I didn't come up with my outfit idea on my own.  I saw a similar outfit someplace (don't remember where) and it stuck in my head as something I'd like to try since I'm swimming in polka dot related apparel.  I'm pleased with how it turned out, but honestly, my sweater doesn't look this vibrant in person.  It's pretty, but not quite as in your face as the pictures would lead you to believe.  However, I think its color is called "shocking pink", so maybe it's just me hoping I wasn't lit up like a Christmas tree today!  Also, my jacket has little tiny polka dots all over it, but it's hard to see in the pictures.

Kira has been very clingy for about a week.  It has nothing to do with the tragic events of last Friday, she was clingy before that point. She slept with me last night and when I was doing my hair, she came in my bathroom, her arm smeared with blood and blood all over her face.  She acknowledges me, heads for the tissues, and says nonchalantly "nose bleed".  Got it.  With a little time and a little saline spray, we got it under control, got her cleaned up and tucked her back in bed.  Her nosebleeds used to freak me out, but they happen so frequently, I've just gotten used to them.  She's pretty good with them too, thankfully!




Countdown to Christmas break - 4 more work days.

Saturday

 Good day today! Kira scored a goal at her soccer game and they beat the other team 5-0!  Go Eagles!

Last night, we had the cutest thing happen with the dog and Kira.  Dave, Kira and I were playing a game on the floor and Kira was leaning against me. She got up to go to the bathroom and while she was gone, the dog took her exact spot, leaning against me. When Kira came back, she burst out laughing because it really was cute!

Polka Dot Day and Cute School Uniforms

After getting ready this morning, I thought, "have I gone over the top?"  Then, I shook it off and thought, nah, nowhere close to over the top.  However, I am bespeckled with polka dots today.  I actually received a lot of compliments on my outfit and bonus...it was comfortable! 
 






How do you make a Catholic school uniform look just plain adorable??? Ask my lovely daughter Kira.  When I picked her up at daycare tonight, she looked so stinking cute, we had to take a picture when we got home.
She's been rockin' this bow combination all week.  It's taken seven years to get the child to wear bows and when I finally gave up, she embraced the bow.
 She is my daughter.  Check out her super snazzy shoes!
 
Here I am after a long day at work.  It's trash day today, so sorry about the neighbor's trash bins in the background!
 
Have a super weekend!
