Patterned Denim Jacket and a Poopy Day

"Watch out for dog poop,"
I told Pigtails after we dropped Princess Sparkles at school.
She nodded and walked along the stroller.
Then as I loaded her into the car, I smelled it.
Pigtails had missed the dry piece of poop I pointed out only to step in a wet one.
It was all over her pants, her socks and her shoes.
I threw away her shoes and put on the only pair of pants in my car... Bucket's.
After I cleaned her up she pointed to the grass and said,
"It's a poop land."  Tell me about it.
 

MULLET SKIRT, TANK - Alternative Apparel, $10 and $5 (via Karmaloop)
PATTERNED DENIM JACKET - Forever 21, $22.50
GRAY WEDGE BOOTIES - Jeffrey Campbell

Monday's Inspiration - Eva Mendes

This week's "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds is Eva Mendes in a skirt and t-shirt.  My kind of outfit!  I got this Alternative Apparel skirt on clearance (with a $10 off coupon) at Miss KL (Karmaloop's women's site) for $10.  The denim jacket I had been eyeing at F21 and when there was free shipping I ordered it.  I know I've been wearing my Jeffrey Campbell's almost every day but I just love them!


Pigtails poses near the "poop land"

"Yay, I can fit into Bucket's pants and they even match!"

My obsession with t-shirts has now carried over into my skirts.  I love a comfy "t-shirt" skirt.   It's almost as snuggly as wearing a pair of "culottes" that belong to your baby brother!!!

this is such an awesome outfit! black, grey and white look SO good together and especially I like that jacket.
btw, sometimes our backyard looks like a poop land because of Elvis so it's a familiar situation, haha.

That is awful she stepped in the poop! We have a "poop zone" in our backyard that everyone knows to avoid, ha ha! She still looks adorable in Bucket's pants.

You look adorable too. That jacket is fabulous!

Don't you HATE when people leave their dog poo around?! I know I do... I loathe it... Especially when innocent children step in it! Ugh! Anyway, I'm glad you had an extra pair of pants! She looks adorable in Bucket's pants!

Alex said...

oh my goodness! to step in wet poo has to be one of the worst/most hilarious things you could step in! poor thing, haha, that's the type of story you bring up when you're meeting her boyfriend over dinner 15 years from now! those shoes are beautiful, by the way. swooooon <3 and I hear you on that 30's thing... I just read in a magazine that an overwhelming majority of women look back most fondly on their mid to late thirties as being the time at which they felt the most free and in control of their own lives. I can't wait!

I love the stories you tell about your adorable kids. Poopville is a messy one! But your look is fabulous - thanks for sharing it with Visible Monday.

Ooh, cute jacket! Target has a chiffon version of your skirt that I have been eyeing. You should check it out it looks just as comfy as the one you have on.
