Outfit 30

Whew, made it to 30! Yaay! It's more than 30 days since I started blogging but I don't usually post outfits on the weekends. It's too busy and crazy and by the time I get home, makeup's gone and outfit's disheveled. You'd have to kill me to get me to face the camera. Never mind, setting it up myself, and doing the whole usual routine of setting it up on timer, run towards the "pose" area, smile and click! Naah, won't do it. Monday to Friday is good enough. Those are the only times I really make an effort of dressing up anyway!

Tonight we went out with a couple and their son for a buffet dinner at Rajdoot. It's an East Indian restaurant by the Mission area. We've had this dealfind vouchers for a long time and we decided to use it tonight. Food was pretty good. I like East Indian food so tonight was a treat! Our poor kids (meaning their son and my daughter) didn't find the food appealing though. It was too spicy for them. I'm so used to eating spicy that I don't even feel it. But Sofia kept asking for water and wouldn't touch anything except rice and naan bread. Bad mama! I should have at least fed her pizza or something before we headed out. But I seriously thought she would love the butter chicken because she loves rice and chicken and sauce. But even that, she found spicy as well. Oh well, lesson learned. We still have another voucher so we will need to use it next time.  I was so full and bloated when we came home. I ate way too much! Much more than I can handle, that's for sure!

I planned to wear something red for Valentine's Day, but changed my mind at the last minute. I opted to wear a black and white ensemble instead. Back in my high school days, there was such a stigma about wearing red on Valentine's Day. It signified that you are looking for love, which meant you don't have anyone in your life, which meant no one wants you LOL. I know! It doesn't make sense. But that's what we thought and so everyone was afraid to wear red. Some of my classmates even refused to wear red the entire month of February. Just in case someone gets the wrong impression you know :P Now I think about it, it would have made more sense to wear red just for the sake of celebrating the day. But noooo, someone had to make up something weird and ruin it for everyone. So this is why I never wear red on Valentine's Day. a. Because I wasn't looking and b. Because even if I was, I wouldn't want to shout it out to the world that I was! Hahahaha.... Of course, I grew up, grew some brains. I'm out of this and am over this stigma for a long time now. Or am I? Where's my red???? :P

Today, I sent out an email to two friends and suggested the idea of taking turns babysitting for Valentine's week. I got eager responses which was no surprise. Everyone is just dying to have a date night. I didn't want to go out tonight not because I'm anti-Valentine's but because I've done it before and it's a zoo out there. Nothing kills romance than fighting for your table and enduring bad customer service. So tonight we babysat two boys, and Sofia had so much fun playing with them. This Thursday will be our turn for our date night. Speaking of which, I better get on making that reservation. I'm thinking of going to that French restaurant in downtown. Hmmm, sounds romantic already!

Outfit 28

 

{blazer: Costa Blanca | tops: RW&Co. | jeans: Reitman's | shoes: Nine West}

Notice the lack of Day something in the title? It's supposed to be Day 11 but I've decided to discontinue my 30 for 30 Remix. I have way too many clothes I haven't worn yet, too many shoes that haven't been out of the box yet, and I'm still shopping! These shoes I'm wearing today for instance has been sitting in its box unworn since December! I'm not really following any of the rules either. I looked at my outfits for the past 10 days, and I've remixed very very very little, if even! I love to wear my clothes and really, to limit myself to 30 pieces when I feel there's a lot in my closet that needs my attention, it's just too darned hard. No use kidding myself. I am sooo done! So this morning, I went inside my closet, put back some of the remaining unworn items I took out for the remix, and in a swoop, gave my clothes a big well deserved welcome back hug :P I think they were happy with my decision too LOL...I know, I'm not really all sane up there.

On another non-fashion related note, we were invited to have dinner at a friend's house for surf and turf dinner. It was so awesome! We had oh so juicy beef tenderloin and grilled lobster with mashed beets and potatoes. To finish off the scrumptious dinner, my friend made tiramisu for dessert. It was to die for! I'm so happy we have such good friends who are really good cooks. Although it's not good for my waistline, the company and camaraderie and of course, good food, all make it worth the extra sessions of Zumba and Turbo Jam I'd have to endure later. Sofia also gets to hang out with their kids. She is the happiest when playing and being surrounded by kids around her age. She didn't want to go home and was throwing a fit when we mentioned the word, "home". I had to bribe her with chocolate LOL...

Outfit 27 & Day 10

{blazer: Ricki's | top: RW&Co. | skirt: Smart Set | tights: Old Navy | boots: Nine West}

Aah, behind on the posting again. I've been going to bed so early these days. I've been so hard at work that I'm just exhausted by the end of the day. Of course the life of a working mommy doesn't end at 5:00PM. That's where the real work begins. If you are reading this and you have a toddler you know what I mean. There are tea parties to attend, grocery shopping (Sofia has a pretend grocery cart), then there's baking cakes for a birthday party. Sometimes I get "sick" and need a doctor. Sometimes I apparently need a hero, so she can say, "To the rescue!". Yes, my days are jampacked with lots of activities LOL... It's a good thing she thinks photo shoots are part of her play. Otherwise, I don't know how the heck I'd do it. This girl wants attention!

And that's my excuse for getting behind on my posting! Again, if you are a mommy, and working full time on top of that, you would totally understand where I'm coming from :) And I know that this whole post is not related to fashion (other than my outfit photos), but it's my blog! LOL...

This is going to be short and sweet. It's way past my bedtime and I can't think straight so before I blabber about some nonsense, I leave you all with my outfit post of today. Goodnight :)

Outfit #25 and Day 8 and EBEW Blazer Day

{blazer & scarf: RW&Co. | mustard tunic: Smart Set | boots: Jessica}

It's like outfit posting marathon today -four outfits to be exact. This is just the last out of the four and I'm all caught up. Yaaayyy! Thank goodness, I'm running out of things to say and I brought work home too so I have that to take care of next. Hubby says I obviously have my priorities straight - blog first before work lol. I guess he knows me better than anyone else :P

I'm wearing a blazer today in support of the Everybody, Everywear challenge. Today is the day for the classic blazer challenge. I took a peek this morning (shh...while at work) at their website to see what everyone's doing for the challenge. I see a lot of cuteness and sophistication there! As soon as I'm done here, I'm going to take a peek again. Uh oh, getting distracted from work again hahahaha... Ya gotta admit though, checking the Everybody, Everywear website is a lot more fun than work :) I love to participate in easy challenges and this is one thing I look forward to each time. I've only done two challenges so far - the Breton Stripes and this blazer one. After all, I only started blogging in January. Hmm, I wonder what's next in line. Can't wait :)

 

Outfit #24 and Day 7

{dress: Kensie | top: Sirens | cardigan: Reitman's | shoes: Aldo}

You could say I'm wearing the wrong outfit for the season. I've been wanting to wear this Kensie dress I recently bought for a really good deal. I blogged about this here. Anyhow, today I thought was a good day to wear it. Until I opened the garage door and realized it was snowing heavily the past night! Served me right for not checking the weather network! I really should do that! I wanted to change into a warmer, more weather appropriate outfit but no chance for that. I was already running late as it is! I still had to drop off Sofia at her dayhome. I only had time to change my open toed shoes into a winter boot. And I was out the door. But, I brought my booties to work. Winter boots was just not going to work with this springy getup lol... I covered it up with a remixed red cardigan and a purple top, which picked up the colors of the humongous beautiful flower that attracted me to this dress in the first place.

While at work, every person I met commented about my dress - that it was pretty but I'm wearing it at the wrong season. So I had to say the same story over and over again. In my defense, it was feeling a little springy the past few days before we got dumped with all this snow. We even braved one day and went out for a short walk without our coats. So people, I'm still sane up there. It was all just a misunderstanding between me and the weather :P
