Okay, so I obviously didn’t wear all the above this past week because I don’t change my outfit several times a day unless you count an outfit change as coming home and immediately removing my bra putting on some ragged leggings to bum around the house in. I have also worn several of my workout shirts out and about lately after exercising and not feeling like changing. Gross right? Sometimes your best effort is only a half effort 😉  But somewhere along the long I fell behind a week in my wardrobe posts and thought I would use this day to catch up. So above is a round up of the last two weeks.

Saturday was my birthday. We didn’t do much because I’m not a huge celebratory person. Once upon a time I was and my birthday meant extreme drunkeness and Guns N’ Roses songs being dedicated to me at the bar (I love GnR). That was back in the days when I could spend the next day sleeping off a hangover (I get bad hangovers) or go to work and spend the day hangover with the rest of my partying coworkers so we could commiserate. Today that would equate torture. Trying to deal with a hangover while maintaining a modicum of parenting. Dry heaving while preparing lunch sounds like a nightmare so I tend to avoid anything that may result in situations remotely resembling that. We spent the afternoon walking through Ikea and then outs or a nice Italian dinner (Italian, Mexican, and all day diner breakfast food are my favourites). We got home too late to buy a cake so Tom is went over to Whole Foods to pick one up Sunday. They have damn good cakes if you haven’t tried them. He also asked me what I wanted for a gift. I almost said nothing but who am I to pass up a present 😉 I think I would like a pair of Adidas Gazelles that they reissued since I don’t really have a sneaker (aside from Converse) in my wardrobe.

I think it would be totally appropriate to get them as a birthday gift because I got them a birthday gift back in around 1995. Not quite 20 years but damn close enough.

It’s so bizarre seeing things come back in style. My mom used to talk about how she wore “so and so” when she was younger and now it’s back, but when you experience it yourself it’s a totally different ballgame.

What is your favourite thing to see back in style?

I caved and wore shorts. I never wear shorts and these almost went out with the last purge, but I decided to hold on to them for summer and see how often I wore them. There have been a few bloody hot days so I said screw it. Since we walk so much it is a lot more comfortable in the heat to wear shorts while towing my grocery cart (yes we have one of those wheeled carts to tote groceries/packages home). I don’t know how often I will wear them but I think I will hold on to them for now.

Today (Sunday) was release day for the new Harry Potter and the Cursed Child book. It’s been a countdown for this day since Roo (my oldest) heard about it so it was an early start to walk over there. It was kind of cool since the book store decorated Harry Potter themed for this day, even the attached Starbucks renamed itself The Leaky Cauldron. I love how much Harry Potter is part of her life and how much joy it brings her. I will encourage this obsession as long as she will let me.

My 37th birthday is this Saturday. It’s funny how excited you get for your birthday when you are a kid and how much you dread it when you are an adult (and how sometimes you can’t even remember how old you are turning and you have to search one of those “how old am I” counters online). I am thinking of buying myself a beautiful Russian Shawl to celebrate because they have become my new fixation. I have searched online and came across a few sites that sell them, but am having a hard time making a decision. I am one of those people that over think it and end up buying one and then wanting the other one when I do. I do every single time. The most I can narrow down my decision is that I want a black background with bright floral but then I also like the red, but there is still like 9 million to choose from and. Maybe I’ll make a post asking for opinions later 😉

Have you ever forgot how old you were turning?
