"No red lights! No red lights!"
Princess Sparkles chanted from the back seat as we drove home from school.
Bucket kept crying everytime we stopped so she wanted me to keep driving.
She even encouraged me to run the light, which I didn't do.
Sometimes it's an entire symphony in the back seat, with Pigtails crying too.
I've learned to tune it out, or at least turn the radio up a bit :)
TURQUOISE TRIBAL DOLMAN TOP- Old Navy, $5 BLACK HIGH LOW MAXI SKIRT - Alternative Apparel (via Anonymous LA) NECKLACE, RING - Jewelry by Cynde Daniels SNAKESKIN WOODEN PLATFORM - Jeffrey Campbell (via Urban Outfitters), $39 |
"Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds - Louise Roe |
Purple French Manicure OPI - Purple with a Purpose, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Lacey Lilac |
Thanks to "Inspiration Monday" I decided to wear a skirt and another tribal print top. I recently did some shopping in the Old Navy clearance section where I got this top for $5 (thanks to 30% extra off clearance)! I also shopped at Anonymous LA since I won a $50 gift card for blogging about them a few months ago. I got this comfy high low maxi skirt which I loooooovvve!!! The skirt is the perfect piece to wear with my Jeffrey Campbell snakeskin wooden block platforms. I saw the JCs online at Urban Outfitters for $40 (on clearance and with an additional coupon). At that price I had to snatch them up!
Princess Sparkles makes a wish, "Please make my brother stop crying!" |
I've been having some really fun shopping trips lately. I'm pretty thrifty most of the time, but every once in a while I go a little crazy. Maybe I need a few shopping "red lights" in my life. Nah!

this is one of my faves on you! i love that shirt. i keep seeing stuff from old navy that is so cute..i need to run there, i think! and yes, i remember the crying kids in the backseat. where you reach your hand back to hold them while driving!
haha, Princess Sparkles is clever with the wish. I love the high-low maxi-skirt. Those shoes are fabulous on you. -xx
LOL go team Sparkles! After three kids, you get really good at tuning things out. LOL. Great look Claire!
Those shoes are INSANE BALLS. I like them. The snakeskin pattern makes them even cooler.

I almost got that same shirt from ON - but it looks much better on you. It's so funny how obsessed we both are with tribal right now!
I'm also obsessed with those shoes because they may be the best ever. Ever, I tell you.
oh my holy hotness claire! this outfit is wonderful, i dig the blue, & the nails. dear princess sparkles, i don't like red lights either. boo hoo.
I love the skirt that you chose! Your kids are so funny! But you have to be careful though because if you tell your kids a rule, you have to make sure you ALWAYS follow it or they will call you out the one time you don't do it!!!! One time my friend's son told her to drive faster and she said "it was against the law to go above the speed limit" so he was like "CALL DAD RIGHT NOW HE IS A LAW BREAKER!"
Look how cute you look, those snakeskin shoes are adorable!
p.s. When I get back mid april, I will take you up on shopping--I desperately need some new jeans!

Pour little Bucket. It used to be that I would take my daughters for a drive in part to make them stop crying. Does he have colic?
That purple french mani is so awesome!
you gotta love what kids say
Wooden blocks- they're like a sculpture- so funky but I don't think I could walk in them! Love the mullet skirt and purple nails!
That's a pretty darn perfect outfit you've go on my dear!! Really NICE!
Your little girl is just so cute! I miss my kids at this age. :(

Those shoes. Wow! And the high low skirt. I've seen these, but no idea how to pull them off. I must say, you do it very well.
Those shoes are freaking fantastic!! When the two boys are screaming or crying in the backseat, I have been known to turn up the radio to drowned them out...
love the top!
