<p>Happy Monday, my friends!</p>
<p>Are weekends ever not busy? Mine was busy as usual but thankfully it was mostly fun. The best part was the beautiful sunny weather we had until it was abruptly interrupted by a major thunderstorm, a dramatic finale to a beautiful weekend.</p>
<p>The important thing is that I got to squeeze in this photo shoot because I couldn&#8217;t wait for you to see this beautiful bag that was sent to me by <a href="http://jordanapaige.com" target="_blank">Jordana Paige</a>. As soon as I set my eyes on this <a href="http://jordanapaige.com/shop/cora/" target="_blank">Cora bag</a>, I fell in love with the serenely understated shade of lavender. I also immediately thought of the perfect summer dress to wear with it.<span id="more-7454"></span></p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t wait to style it with a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2zjdkbc35f" target="_blank">Club Monaco dress</a> that I had purchased a while back but never got a chance to wear. The geometric print of the dress and its architectural design along with the structured yet feminine Cora bag really didn&#8217;t need much in the way of accessories. I thought the pairing deserved to stand on its own.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://jordanapaige.com/shop/cora/" target="_blank">Cora bag</a> is not only aesthetically pleasing on the exterior but extremely functional in the interior. It contains several different compartments from zippered pockets to a row of smaller pockets that can fit everything from your phone and makeup to your tablet. It comes with a strap and a major bonus, the exterior pocket is an easily detachable clutch! How awesome is that?!</p>
<p>If you want to learn more about Jordana, the designer behind Jordana Paige and some of the philanthropic work she&#8217;s involved in thru her company, make sure to visit <a href="http://jordanapaige.com/about/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

Aesthetically speaking, I couldn&#8217;t tell you why I didn&#8217;t feature this top sooner. I love Zara and I love cobalt. I&#8217;m embarrassed to say this item fell victim to the occasional &#8220;buy it and forget it&#8221; syndrome. I bought this top a while back and forgot that I had it. I found it somewhere in the back of my closet with the tags still on. It was one of those out of sight out of mind deals.<span id="more-3351"></span></p>
<p>So can we talk about skirt length and high heels? For me, the shorter the skirt, the more uncomfortable I feel wearing it with high heels. I think there is a fine line between looking sleek and chic in heels and looking like you&#8217;re trying too hard. I must have tried on at least three different pairs of heels with this outfit and somehow, in my eyes, they all looked a bit too risqué. I don&#8217;t think the skirt is really all that short. I think I could have easily worn medium heels with this outfit and I probably would have if I were going out on a date night with my hubby, but I wore this outfit to church yesterday so I kept it a little more conservative with the low wedges. Not that my church is that conservative or anything but there is no need to draw unnecessary attention to myself. How about you? How short is too short for you?</p>
<p>Do I look relaxed in these pictures? If I don&#8217;t, there is a reason for it. I took these pictures after we had a huge Japanese steakhouse dinner which included an oversized portion of very salty fried rice. I don&#8217;t know about you but I get bloated almost immediately. I&#8217;m trying very hard to hide my food baby in these pictures and I&#8217;m just not enjoying it. I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking but sometimes we have to fit in the photo shoots whenever we can, even if it&#8217;s after a huge meal, to my dismay.</p>

<p>My hubby and I don&#8217;t get to go out much. With three young kids at home, it&#8217;s a major production every time we want to get away for a couple of hours on our own. However, we do realize the importance of time alone as a couple so we make it a point to have date nights, especially on our birthdays, our anniversary and Valentine&#8217;s Day. Every once in a while, we have the opportunity to get dressed up and go to a special event. I wore this outfit recently to a charity dinner to benefit the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Enjoying a night out for a good cause is always a must in my book.</p>
<p>I have to admit, I almost regretted buying this dress on final sale at Club Monaco. I was so enamored with the rich blue color and the simple yet eye-catching embellished collar, that I couldn&#8217;t resist. At first, I wasn&#8217;t sure what to pair it with and I just couldn&#8217;t make it work. Then I threw on a cropped BCBG blazer, added a sash and I felt like it was finally coming together. Although appropriate for the occasion, I felt the look was a bit too demure for my taste so I opted for a more trendy pair of pointed-toe heels. So many times I am lured by the final sale price of an item, only to regret the purchase as soon as I get home. I&#8217;m glad this one didn&#8217;t end up being one of those.</p>

<p>If the title hasn&#8217;t turned you off and you&#8217;re still reading&#8230; First off, I cannot believe that it&#8217;s sweater weather already! I&#8217;m in denial and refuse to believe that summer is over. Now that I got that out of the way. When I first tried on this outfit, I inadvertently muttered to myself, &#8220;I look like a school girl.&#8221; My oldest daughter was watching me at the time and after a few minutes of my posing in front of the mirror she uttered the words that I was dreading to hear, &#8220;Mom, that outfit is not age appropriate.&#8221; I quickly went thru a mental checklist. Does it show too much skin? No. Is the skirt too short? Not really. Is it too cutesy? I don&#8217;t think so. Does it have Hello Kitty displayed anywhere? No. Ok, I think I&#8217;m good. I like to believe that my daughter is just not used to seeing me wear anything shorter than a knee length skirt. Just to make sure, I paired it with a leather jacket and high-heeled booties. I could only wish I looked like a school girl.</p>
