"That's a swimming pool, mommy!"
Pigtails shouted enthusiastically.
I smiled and told her that swimming pool was called the ocean.
Last weekend we went on our first vacation with all three kiddos.
We drove down to San Diego to see the Wild Animal Park.
It was fun but not terribly relaxing.
I definitely needed a vacation from our vacation afterwards.

| Monday's Inspiration - Jessica Biel |
Today's "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds is Jessica Biel in lace and metallics. I was excited to whip out the $7 gold skirt from H&M and decided to pair it with a burn-out white tee. I wasn't feeling like wearing lace, but I figured I could cheat with the textured tee :) I needed a splash of color so I wore the suede fringe necklace my mom made and some aqua Target wedges I thrifted from GW.

I love wearing metallics and this skirt is extremely stretchy and comfy. Pairing it with a white tee seemed perfectly summery. Isn't it great that metallics aren't just for night anymore? Just like relaxing isn't just for vacation!

Going on vacation with kiddos is definitely fun but definitely exhausting! I hope you get some down time now that you are back!
I love your metallic skirt and I think it looks perfectly with your tee! Beautiful necklace as well!
isn't it funny how we need vacations from vacations?!
your mom did a nice job on that necklace! i have all the materials and i've been wanting to try this! hope i can get to it soon!
[oomph.]
Vacations with the kids Rae definitely not vacations for the parents! That necklace is fabulous and added such fun to your outfit!
I didn't realize this when I was younger, but vacation for the kids =/= vacation for parents!
I have that gold skirt too and am loving it!
Love how you wore it in a relaxed style and with such a gorgeous statement necklace!
Cheers,
