WIWW Lucky #7

Hola!  Happy WIWW!!  Linking up with The Pleated Poppy http://www.thepleatedpoppy.com/ and anyone else that will have me (that's a short list.).  For my readers who are anxiously awaiting a new workout, I've got one, I just need to get my son  assistant to take some photos before I can put it up and he's been a little under the weather. 

Wednesday I was back at big dude's school...

Denim Jacket- Forever 21  Navy Tee- Forever 21  Khakis- Aeropostale  Flats- Indigo by Clarks (these were FREE!!!  My husband designs exhibits, and Clarks is a long time client so I have a few pairs of 'sample shoes' because I happen to wear the size they use in their exhibits--yay me!!

Thursday I had a webinar for work in the morning (at home), a training client in the afternoon, then carpooling the boys home from school and big dude to his music lesson.  I really didn't see the point in wearing 'real' clothes, since that training session was right smack in the middle of the day so I just slapped on my workout gear first thing in the morning.  Besides, I figured if I was in my workout clothes, if I actually managed to find a chunk of time to run at some point I could just seize the moment and go!

Friday I attempted to move crap from one spot to another clean house and got some groceries.  I actually got a compliment on this outfit at the Costco checkout, which is funny because I put almost NO thought into it at all...why is that always the way??  I made sure to get a close up of my gold sandals...please pay no mind to my nasty feet, first off, this is their first "debut" of the season, so they weren't really camera ready.  Secondly, the harsh truth is I am a runner and runners just generally don't have cute feet, sorry, that's just the facts.  I promise they will get a little better now that I can't hide them in boots and tennies all the time and I have to show y'all, but for now just concentrate on the shoes, ok??

Top- Lucky Brand via Lucky Store (clearance section of course, you know Mama doesn't pay full price!)  Jeans- Lucky Brand via Lucky Outlet   Sandals- Chinese Laundry via Ross

Friday night my bigger dude came down with a fever...bigger dude rarely gets sick.  The last fever he had was 4 years ago, which was when he had his first and only ear infection.   Needless to say, he wasn't pleased with being laid up.  So on Saturday hubs took little dude to his cub scout Pinewood Derby and football and I stayed home with sickie.  I am in desperate need of a haircut, and that combined with sheer laziness created the mess on my head that looks like a nesting place for gerbils.  I stayed home all day, and around 5 I changed into running shorts, covered that hot mess with a hat, left hubs in charge and ran a cool 5 miles.  The weather was gorgeous, and here in Texas we all know it is only a matter of time before it changes from gorgeous to hot as the bowels of hell, so I plan to enjoy it while it lasts!

"Trees are 4 Hugging" tee- Aeropostale   Jeans- Lucky via Lucky outlet (yes, same as yesterday, whatevs.)  Seashell flops- Corona via surf shop in Florida

Sunday bigger dude was still under the weather, and I teach bootcamp at night, so I just went ahead and tossed on my running shorts and tank.  Seemed pointless to bother with anything else.  I thought I took a photo, but now I can't find it...you really aren't missing anything, trust me on that.
Monday we were back on track, bigger dude was better and off to school.  I had some work to do from home, I also grabbed a few groceries, made a killer chicken tortilla casserole, and ran 5 miles...I thought that was pretty productive!  I realize this outfit needs more color, the necklace I wanted to wear was too short, the scarf was too warm...I just had serious accessory issues. Hey,  I managed to tame my overgrown hair and put on lip gloss, so it's all good.  AND LOOK!  I cleaned the top of that little drawer thing that was covered in junk...you're welcome, friends :)

Dress- Old Navy Clearance $5.00!  Belt- Bui Yah Kah  Leggings- Target  Flats- Ross 

*Note- Someone asked about  Bui Yah Kah last week, it's a mall store, they have quite a few locations, but only in TX.  They sell all kinds of clothes and accessories, and a huge selection of their own brand of jeans in different styles, fits, and lengths.  They also sell a lot of "club" style clothing, "ghetto fabulous" if you will....not really my thing, but if lycra dresses cut to yo' belly button ring are for you, then this is the place--fo' sho'.  I stick to the jeans and the side of the store with clothes that don't look like they came straight outta Chaka Khan's closet.

Tuesday was Girls' Day Out...met some friends for a little shopping and lunch.  This outfit is a  product of WIWW inspiration, I tend to have set 'outfits' in my closet and don't do a lot of mixing and matching.  I typically wear this skirt in the summer with white espadrilles, wide white belt, and a navy tank top, but today I decided to try to change it up and I made it more spring-y with boots, tee, scarf and denim jacket.  Thanks WIWW friends for helping think outside the box...er...closet!

Skirt- Francesca's  Navy tee- Forever 21  Scarf- Ross  Boots- Francesca's  Denim Jacket- Forever 21

Thanks for stopping by, I am getting my hair cut on Friday so I promise next week there won't be quite so many crazy bun days!!!
