WIW 1/26 & 2/1: Happy Lunar New Year of the Horse!

You know Iove holiday theme dressing, so here are two versions. And yay for the YLF sisterhood! Both outfits with gifts from my YLF sisters, Diana and Rae.

Last year Diana sent me this pretty red cheongsam dress (Thanks again Diana!), but I was pregnant so I couldn't try it on. I was hoping it would eventually fit, and it looks like it finally does (though I didn't realize just how high the thigh slits were when I wore it to a mom's club event. Not entirely family appropriate--yikes! I was way overdressed--it said to come in Asian dress, but it seems most people did not! Oh well, it was fun anyways!) It was a Lunar New Year event complete with martial artists and lion dancers. Lots of fun. DD wore a Chinese inspired outfit from H&M and the boys wore dragon hoodies from Tea Collection (DH could not be induced to dress in costume, haha).
Cheongsam from Diana, gold Calvin Klein Baisha pumps, Chanel red purse, WHBM red and gold bracelet

Second outfit was for the "Year of the Horse", so I wore a pony print blouse (ie actual ponies) in an equestrian type outfit inspired by Angie's recent outfit:

We were at an all-day girls' state chess tournament for DD. She placed 4th in her K-1 division with pretty stiff competition! DD and her friends were running around and playing on the playground in between games, but I saw a lot of the other parents from other schools playing extra chess with their kids and drilling them during the breaks. Pretty hard core. Her school team placed first though, so she was happy!
Pleione pony print mixed media navy blouse, AG ivory cord skinnies, J Crew henna wool jacket, map bag from Rae (thanks again Rae!), Timberland Stratham Heights cognac boots, Alexis Bittar orange leopard pendant and Forever 21 orange and bronze bracelet.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

    Happy New Year!  By the way, I notice your nickname is goldenpig, and my youngest was born in the year of the golden pig, so I always wondered what the connection was...
    Anyway, you look drop dead gorgeous in the cheongsam, leg show be darned.  Lipstick looks so good with it.  And I am so glad Rae's bag found a good home.  Like how you let it take centre stage.  
    Beautiful family pics.

    Yay!  I'm so happy to see the dress out in the wild!  It looks waaaay better on you than it ever did on me, so I'm glad it went to a good home.  Looks great with the silver Angie shoes too.  =)

    Rae's bag and the pony blouse are great too.  Happy new year!

    Oh, and your family is adorable.

    I've been wondering where you were! Glad that life's been good if busy. You're stunning in that cheongsam, and I love the pony themed outfit too. Your DD got a huge trophy for 4th place! No wonder she's still happy. ;) lol

    Gorgeous dress! I also love the horse print shirt with the jacket in that lovely warm shade. And your kids are all so cute!

    Yay for the update. Congratulations to DD! Your lunar new year outfit is so fun and the pony outfit is so stylish. Your family is ridiculously adorable.

    I just about fell out of bed just now looking at you in the Cheongsam.  Wow….  Your family must have felt so proud of their gorgeous Mom.  And the Chanel purse looks very happy in this outfit too.
