I am a First Lady?!

Okay, let me explain about the First Lady statement, that is....at least according to the other people that were at the City of Montgomery's inauguration ceremony 2 nights ago where my husband was inducted as the President of the City of Montgomery's Chamber of Commerce! 

It was such a proud moment for me to watch him give his acceptance speech and see everyone excited to see him taking the reins. I was beaming!  As we got up to thank everyone and greet everyone at the end of the event I actually had two wonderful women congratulate me and (at separate times!) tell me that since I was "now first lady they were going to be watching what I wore".  Haha!  If they only knew.......

Okay, well here is what I wore last night. I hope I didn't let them down.....no pressure!  :)


Dress: Calvin Kline purchased from TJ Maxx - I really love this dress for it's versatility.  I will be in Florida this week and plan to wear it with some cute wedges, bare legs and grab a light cardigan for when it cools off in the evening. (find similar here)
Blazer/Jacket: Michael Kors - found on the clearance rack when on a weekend trip with my husband. Super steal!!  (See it worn in a previous blog here & find similar here)
Tights: Hue purchased at Macy's
Shoes: Nine West



Fendi ZipCode watch model# F112111BD (find similar here and here in brown) - bands are interchangeable and come in a variety of colors. I don't know if Fendi makes this watch anymore though. It is no longer available through their website. It is a fairly large watch measuring a bit more than 1.5" across which I love. It is a statement piece for sure!

My Fendi watch and a pair of Stella & Dot Soiree Studs was the only jewelry I wore to this event (with the exception of my wedding set and anniversary band).
  Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed your day!

Traveling stripes and leopard

So we made it out the door!  My husband and I were up until the early morning hours packing up the family SUV, but in the end were only about a 1/2 late getting on the road with the kiddos this morning - not bad by our standards for family travel :)

Well, I am now in the "hills of Kentucky" visiting my mom and grandparents before heading out tomorrow morning for our destination; Florida.  That is where we will spend some time at a couple of the Disney parks with the kids and some beach time before heading up to see my dad's side of the family in Tampa for Thanksgiving and the rest of the week.

I am working off my husband's MacBook Pro today and I am clueless how to operate this thing so I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures (don't know how to use the photo editor for starters) and had to use my iPhone to get the pics since my camera is buried under suitcases in the truck.

I did wear leggings and stretchy clothing today since we are having our first Thanksgiving dinner of the week this evening.
So, without further delay, here is today super easy and comfy attire :)


 Vest: Three Hearts (similar vest from North Face here) I purchased this one at Marshall's
Striped tunic sweater: French Connection  I purchased this one at TJ Maxx
Leggings: Express  current season - best leggings ever!!!
Infinity Leopard Scarf: Express this season (comes in other colors)
Bag: Michael Kors Hamilton tote  I purchased this one at TJ Maxx
Boots: Madden Girl  (find similar here) I got these on sale a few years ago at DSW - no longer sell this exact style (Jessii). They are by far the most comfortable boots I own so they were an easy choice for travel today! 
Fendi watch: Zip Code Ladies Grand watch - see enlarged pic below (you can find a similar one here - mine has the diamonds in the numbers and the one on this site does not, but the watch is no longer made so it is hard to find. Prices range greatly between slightly different models)

 (Without the puffer vest, of course)
I really like the stripes with the leopard scarf in the same colors.


Taking advantage of the beautiful scenery here....fun to take some different shots :)


Watch: Fendi Diamond Zip Code watch.  Band is interchangable and comes in many colors (brown, white, tan, grey, etc). I am definitely looking to eventaully get another one or two so I can change them out now and then.  Christmas maybe? :)

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Saturday!
