WIW 7/4: RWB for Independence Day at work and...work

Well, I didn't do anything fun today because I was on call and working at the hospital. But I still tried to get in the spirit and dressing in holiday colors! Didn't get to take the kids anywhere today, but at least I dressed them in red, white and blue PJs for bedtime. They're still kind of young to stay up for fireworks anyways. Maybe next year! Then just as I was planning to go to bed, I got a page that I had to go in to the hospital to do a procedure on someone who had gotten some steak in stuck in his throat. So I had to go in at 1 am to dislodge the meat (I figured there was a pretty high chance I'd have to go in, given all the barbeques for July 4! Thanksgiving is another risky holiday to be on call). I just threw on an outfit, but still kept with the color theme, inspired by Angie's Ultra Causal Blue and White post. I bought this sweater on sale at the Gap, but they forgot to take the magnetic anti-theft tag off, so I had to bring it back in. They gave me an additional discount because I had to come back in, so I ended up getting the sweater for $12! Not bad! I also got a couple of new bikinis from Tommy Bahama, and got a sale price adjustment for those.

White House Black Market red cardigan
Anne Fontaine white blouse
Kate Spade red specs necklace
Banana Republic navy and white polka dot pencil skirt
DSW red pumps
Kate Spade typewriter bag
Burberry watch

Gap crochet sweater
Tommy Bahama blue tank
Gap distressed jeans
Red Converse
Red white and blue Rainbow Loom bracelet from DD
Silver/gold hearts necklace
Ms. Scarlet
Burberry watch

PS My birthday's coming up soon, and I have been obsessing about a certain pair of pants popular on this forum. I couldn't find it on sale anywhere though! Finally I found a 15% off discount code by signing up for Intermix emails and another 4% with Mr. Rebates. So a certain pair of loungewear that is named after another type of loungewear but tries not to look like loungewear is headed my way....I can't wait!

    Red, white, and blue are your colors but you knew that! Your kids look good in those colors, too! Sorry you had to go in and couldn't take your pumpkins to see fireworks, but if they haven't seen them before, they might have been scared of the loud noises. I know I was surprised that one of my kids found fireworks too scary.

    A brilliant set of casual and dressy patriotic outfits - kids included. xo

  • Neel replied 9 years ago

    Your kids are super adorable and such fantastic patriotic PJs ^_^

    Your typewriter handbag always makes me drool on my phone *deep sigh*. Your matchy matchyines is such a riot! Fab! Love the simple yet chic outfit 2 as well.

    Nice RWB looks. I've had to take back many items to have the anti theft tag removed and I've never gotten any thing for my troubles. They so rarely go off at the door like they should.

    The first outfit has a strong pin-up spirit :)
    The color scheme, the polka dots, red pumps, and typewriter the combination has a vintage feeling.

    Wow, you've never looked better! You wear red so well. Love the kid pic, wasn't expecting them to each have a color! Adorable.

    Thank you for working on the holiday.  Seriously, I'm grateful when I encounter medical personal, policemen, heck, even the drive through girl at MacDonald's working when others are having fun.  Having a husband who spend so long in the pastorate reminds me of what is sacrificed.

    Love the classy red/white/blue work outfit!  Red cons are perfect for the occasion!

    First outfit is adorable. It's classic yet it's quirky. You can't go wrong with that red. Loooove that bag :)

    Love the ease of outfit 2 and again - love the pop of red in the shoes and accessories. Fabulous outfits and adorable kiddies!

    That typewriter bag is so fun, and Ms. Scarlet - well she is always a beauty. Such classy, and cute(kiddos), red white and blue looks.
