Happy Birthday Party Styling...

Last Saturday was a day full of birthday party goodness...

To start the day, Alex had his final birthday party celebration...he ended up having multiple little parties during October, culminating in his kids party.  It was nice to meet some of the moms from his new school, while also being able to catch up with moms I miss from his old school. 
I wanted to be comfortable for running around after the boys, but still look like the cool stylish mom...


Jeans-NYDJ/Top-H&M/Jewelry-Black Sheep, JCrew, Target/Shoes-Dolce Vita
 
This green lace top from H&M has been a wardrobe workhorse... It was a steal $7 last spring and I have definitely gotten my money's worth!! Again with my favorite jeans and leopard booties...
 
After a day of kids, I was ready for an evening of adults...conversations that did not revolve around pre-school, Star Wars and little boys...It was my friend's 30th birthday...she is pregnant, so no crazy girls night out free for all, but drinks, college football and adult conversation was just a perfect night.
 
It was pretty easy and quick to transition my outfit from day to night...
 


 Skirt-Old navy/Booties-Steve Madden via Gilt/Necklace-Bauble Bar
 
I traded my jeans for a black denim skirt, added tights, high heel booties and topped of the lace with my favorite chunky Bauble Bar necklace...I so miss having a reason to throw on skirts and tights.
I had a great time...talking about my new job, due dates for baby boys, the Bears and eating cheesy nachos and beer and welcoming Sarah to her 30's (she is so young, or maybe I am just so old) and pending motherhood.
 
 Well, I started work this week...training...overwhelming, but in such a great way!  I cannot wait to share my  business casual stylings from the week at corporate headquarters...coming soon.
