The good news is, I survived 11 days at home while my husband traveled to Chang Mai, Thailand for work. {yeah!} And, he brought me a couple of super cute bracelets, which you can see below. Here are a few things I wore while I was home alone with the girls!
Left: Black 3/4 cardi {Walmart}, Black and white shirt {Kohls}, Black pants {Loft}
Center: Teacher’s Pet Sweater {CAbi}, Blue ribbed tank {Old Navy}, Jeans {Gap}
Right: White 3/4 cardi {Old Navy}, Olive green ribbed tank {Target}, Jeans {Gap}
Left: Silver bracelet and Right: Turquoise beaded bracelet
Both from Thailand :: Thanks babe!
So the other good news is that my black pants, pictured above fit for the first time since I got pregnant with our 4th daughter! So that’s 9 months on, about 17 months off? That’s normal, right? I have been working at it, using My Fitness Pal to track what I eat and exercising about 4 days each week. It is nice to see results! And I will add, those pants are about 6 years old – an investment piece that my husband insisted I buy. You can’t beat a great a pair of black pants!

Love the bracelets. Very cute.
And woo hoo on the black pants! Got to love a good pair. I know it’s so much fun to fit into them for the first time since having baby…it took me forever to lose the last few pounds of baby weight last time around (3rd baby).

It really is the small things….or getting smaller type things!
I think I need to be looking for my next great pair of black pants, but I love these so much it is hard to let go, now that I’m back in them!
Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
Congrats on the black pants! I like the first black layered outfit!

Thanks Vera! The shirt is one of my favorite pieces, although I don’t like the sleeves, but with a cardi it is great!
Great bracelets!
He did a great job picking them out! So proud!
Great job on getting into those pants! You look fab:) love the bracelets, too! You deserve super mom status for surviving 11 days without Mike.
If I could only get super mom status with a trip to the spa….that would be so helpful because my attitude has not been very super! Tired – wow, so tired!
Thanks for stopping by friend! I’m working on my accessorizing – by baby steps!
GREAT bracelets! Hubby has good taste!
And you are looking super lovely in all of your outfits this week! I think the black and white outfit is my fave!
Can’t go wrong with black and white! My challenge is to wear more color!
Super cute as usual! Love the bracelets and the black pants!
And – my very cute Dallas Designs necklace!!!!
Yeah on the pants! And the bracelets are FAB! Hubby did good.
I know, I was so proud of him!

Hey Stacey! I have been enjoying your posts on the Grace Notes. I have joined with you and posted my thoughts on my blog! I didn’t know how to link up with you on here, so I just decided I’d post a comment. (I’m new to this!!! But I’ve enjoyed!)
No problem Beth, I’m so glad you are joining in on Grace Notes. The thing to do, is to scroll down, click on that post and put your comment on it. (it is the one beneath this one). That way, if others read Grace Notes, they will see that you have written one too! I hope this makes sense! I can’t wait to read what you wrote!
The bracelets are beautiful ~ your hubs has good taste! And what a cute meme, this is great for getting clothing ideas ~ I’m totally banging my head against the wall in the “What to Wear?” department.
Thanks so much! One thing I love about it is getting great ideas from others! So many times I have thought, “I never would have thought to do that!” Thanks for stopping by today!
You look very pretty in all of those outfits!
