I love these types of longer, flowy tank tops. It's a great length for leggings, to prevent feeling like you are wearing them as pants. It's from Forever 21 and I wore it before with jeans, and these same Calvin Klein booties. The blazer is from Express.
I am so happy it's Friday. Lately I've been feeling overwhelmed. I could use at least 3 more of me to split among all the things I need to get done. Being a perfectionist isn't helping me cut corners either {although, I prefer to call it detail oriented}. Sometimes I think I'll never feel done with anything. There is always more to do, more to learn, more to teach, more to experience...more to worry about. Plus, there is the guilt. The guilty feeling of being away from your children, even for a nanosecond.
But then, last night my son called me his best friend. In that moment my heart melted, the world stood still, and everything became alright again. It was like confirmation that while I wonder at times if I am doing things 'right', I am. Even though he might think that Superman and Batman have all the cool world saving powers, they really have nothing on my little Superhero man.
Happy Friday! I hope you have a great weekend!
great outfit. i have some seychelles that look just like your booties except mine are in brown. i feel the same way. there isn't enough time for all the time i want to do and need to do. i am bit overwhelmed too. if it weren't for blogging i think i would be near insanity. it soothes me...

ReplyDeleteGreat look! Simple yet supertrendy... I know the feeling of wanting to split yourself in half... this was one of the busiest weeks of my life and I'm so glad it's weekend!!! :D

The gray top is my favorite! :) And I love the shoes even though I could never wear them -- how do you walk in them?? LoL Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool about your son. He doesn't know you feel overwhelmed (which I also feel half the time)just that he loves his mom. I like this a lot. And your outfit works too. Enjoy your weekend!

Love the outfit, particularly the beading on the top! :) And I totally know what you mean about the long tops so your leggings don't feel like pants. Really hope you'll feel less overwhelmed and that you'll get a chance to relax soon ... you definitely deserve some downtime. And I think it's adorable that your son called you his best friend, so sweet! Hope you have a great weekend, Iva :)

I hope this weekend bought some much needed rest and relaxation for you. I hate feeling overwhelmed, and there's nothing worse than when it all starts becoming too much.
