Third time is the charm...allegedly?

Hello, WIWW friends!  I'm Kristen, I am a mom of three boys, 11, 9, and 39 (Okay, I'm not his mom, but you know what I mean!).  I live in NW Houston but I was born and raised in the Boston area.  I am a volunteer at both kids' schools, I work part time in real estate, and I teach fitness bootcamps!  I looove checking out everyone's WIWW and have found some really fabulous blogs that I read regularly too.  Maybe eventually I will have more to talk about than just what I wore, but for now just getting decent pics and trying to set up this darn blog is keeping me busy enough!   For now at least I feel less like a blog stalker because  I'm putting my own outfits up too and not just nosing around everyone else's, it's all about give and take, people!!!

Wednesday I was feeling a little under the weather so I opted for the dreaded sweats...sorry folks, it happens.  I just wanted to be warm and comfortable and this fit the bill nicely.  If it makes you feel better I only left the house to drive kids to and from school, and then to teach a bootcamp, where sweats are perfectly acceptable attire!

                                                   

Velour sweats (*gasp!)- Neighbor's boutique   Hot pink tee- Bebe, gift from my mama :)

Thursday I upgraded from sweats to jeans, that's better, right??  I had to run a few errands and then I had lunch with my mom and the two little kiddos she babysits. 

 

Thermal tee- Lucky brand from Costco    Jeans - Bui Yah Kah

Furry Boots- Ed Hardy (Christmas Gift from my husband in 2009)

Friday I had lunch with one of my best girlfriends, her son just committed to attending Southwest Oklahoma State University on a football scholarship.  I wanted to hear all about their trip to see the school last weekend!  This is my homage to Lisa Leonard, who has singlehandedly recruited a legion of women into the land of cuffed jeans and boots. 

                           

Cream lace dress- Target Clearance ($5 smackeroos-yeehaw!)  Aqua cardi- Target

Jeans- Bui Yah Kah (for the record, I have about 7 pairs of Bui Yah Kah jeans, so it isn't always the same ones!)  Boots- Francesca's (I have these in black and tan, they are ridiculously comfortable and  they were about $35.00-love, love, love it!)

Friday night we had dinner with friends, and since it was 77 degrees (yikes!) I changed into short sleeves.


                     

                    Dress- Ross  Leggings- Target  Boots- Target

Saturday was my son's football game, and then we took the boys to the Houston Auto Show...we go every year, it's fun checking out all the new wheels!  We always hit Logan's Roadhouse for dinner after...I love little traditions like that :)

Sunday is another bootcamp night.  We don't tend to do much on Sundays but relax and run the occasional errand.  No, we don't go to church~ for the record, I believe in God, but I do not believe in church.  Sundays are all about pajamas, pancakes and family, that's how we roll around here. I don't think that makes me a heathen...the booze and my perpetual potty mouth probably do, but cut a girl a break,  I'm Irish Catholic from Boston, booze and potty mouth come with the turf.  (Seriously,  have you not seen any of Matt Damon or Ben Affleck's movies??  I assure you they are quite accurate.) Anyway, I digress....the point is I tend to spend the first half of Sunday in pajamas and the second half in my workout gear.  I am posting this photo for full disclosure, it isn't pretty...but here you have it..

    Cropped sweatpants- Ross  Sports bra- Old Navy  Tee shirt- Old Navy

            Tennies- Saucony from Academy  Hat- N. E. Patriots from Bob's Store in Beantown

Monday I volunteered at the No Place For Hate function at my oldest's school and got some work done from home.  Later on in the day I traded in my nice duds for running shorts and a tee shirt and hit the pavement. (No pic of that, but basically the same as Sunday only with shorts since it was really warm!)

Tuesday I went to one of closest girlfriend's house for lunch, she has a little one still at home, so it's easier than going out, not to mention she is a heck of a cook so I never turn down a meal from her!
