Sunday we had an all church Thanksgiving Dinner. It was such a fun time and we met some really great people :)
So here's me with my lovely outfit! It was actually just a super quick throw together. When I need to get ready fast, if the kiddos are having a hard time waking up or what not, throwing all black together with some different shoes always seems to do the trick. And when going to a potluck and bringing two sides one must always wear flats as it is hard to carry pumpkin roll and potatoes in heels. Not a rule :) Plus the fact I had to use my quick ninja moves to keep Cal away from the lemonade stand at the church made it a good thing I wore black :) Have to be sneaky with that kiddo!
Okay, here's what I wore and as always if it's still available I've provided a link:
Black Pants (Hilfiger)
Black Turtleneck Sweater (GAP)
Animal Print Flats (Payless)...the print is not available anymore but you can buy the same shoes here. I also must tell you that I love these shoes! I have them in multiple colors and patterns! I can wear them all day chasing kiddos and teaching and they are so cushioney! If you are in doubt be sure to read all of the reviews. They are amazing! This is actually the only shoe I buy from payless but they are made by Dexter shoes and are super wonderful! Okay, PSA on the shoes, done!

Last but not last let's talk about my purse, or should I say diaper bag because that's what this puppy is. This is made by Skip Hop. When are babies were actually babies we bought so much stuff from here. So fun and vivid!
But this bag is amazing! Now that I am homeschooling it still has a place for everything! And I can shove a binder or a planner and books in there for learning on the road with no problem! The side pockets which were for bottles not accommodate water bottles with ease. In D.C. I took a water bottle and a bottle of hand sanitizer around with me in these pockets and it was perfect!!! I just love this bag! The solid black and leather is no longer available that I could find. But you can still buy the same style bag in a different print. It is the Skip Hop Studio bag if you want to google it to purchase. I found them for sale on the Layla Grayce website here.
So that's what I wore. Again, this isn't about being the prettiest or the skinniest or the best dressed, but rather being an encouragement to dress up and feel fabulous for you and to show your family you love them :)
*What? Did you notice our fireplace is different? There'll be more on that later so stay tuned!
