Silk Top + Flares for a holiday or NYE Outfit

 So, I never posted what I ended up wearing to the Huz’s holiday party.  I had option one (Silk Romper + Booties) and two (All Black!) all lined up, but they both got vetoed in the end.

I ended up going with this one, because it was a little warmer, more comfortable, and could go be seen as somewhat casual yet also dressy since I wasn’t completely sure what others would be wearing.  There were people more dressed up and also more casual at the party, so I was super thankful I went this route.

I never end up getting pictures on the nights I go out, because usually I get ready 20 minutes before we leave.  Then, there’s no time and it’s too dark!  So…I threw on this outfit again when I happened to have day 2 of straightened hair. 😉

It was a WINDY day, and I had about 5 minutes, in an alley a block away.  Such is life…

Could be an inspiration for a NYE outfit??  I will most likely be in my sweats… 😉Blog Ramy Brook Silk Top DL1961 Roxy Born Tortoise Heels-1 Blog Ramy Brook Silk Top DL1961 Roxy Born Tortoise Heels-2 Blog Ramy Brook Silk Top DL1961 Roxy Born Tortoise Heels-3

Keeping it Real…
Not a true “keeping it real” image, except…hi wind!!  Oh, and you can see that I layered a long sleeve t shirt underneath to stay warm for these pictures, but I didn’t really wear that at night 🙂

Comfy Everyday Play…

 I’ve posted a few holiday looks recently, but let’s be real, those aren’t the day to day!  Most of you know our day to day, but as a refresher-this is it.  Me=hair in a bun, my parka, a sweater, jeans, and Converse.  And with the COLD and WIND that we’ve been having, along with the torrential downpours, we haven’t been playing outside for more than 20-30 minutes at a time.  Which means usually running around our neighborhood when we have a break in the weather.

Otherwise, we are inside in at camps or at the gym.Blog HM Parka Zara 7FAM Converse-1 Blog HM Parka Zara 7FAM Converse-2 Blog HM Parka Zara 7FAM Converse-3 Blog HM Parka Zara 7FAM Converse-4 Blog Weatherproof Gap Hudson Kids Boyfriend Jeans Converse-1 Blog Weatherproof Gap Hudson Kids Boyfriend Jeans Converse-2Maya most days wears a dress, but every once in a while I can talk her into jeans 🙂  I scored these adorable Hudson Jeans for $2 back when my favorite thrift store had 75% off all denim for Black Friday.  They are so soft and comfy that she’s actually let me put them on her a couple of times since-SCORE!
