NEW HOPE & IVYLAND PLUS WHAT I WEAR TO WORK

A couple of weekends ago we headed to New Hope, Pennsylvania to take a ride on the Ivyland Railroad- a restored vintage passenger train from the 1920's!  We all had so much fun riding through historic and beautiful Bucks County- it's a great little day trip from New York or New Jersey.  Plus, the towns of New Hope, Pennsyvania and Lambertville, New Jersey have cute shops and great restaurants- so you can really make a nice day out of it!

Now on to What I Wear To Work...well, as a stay-at-home mom of two, I don't have a need to really dress up everyday, so I thought I'd show you an outfit that you can find me in most days.  Here I'm just wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, but because the jeans are rolled up and paired with fun motorcycle boots, and because the sweatshirt has some sparky jewels on it- I think it helps it look a little more dressed up.  I added a fun flannel shirt from last year and tank top underneath for some layers...grabbed my diaper bag...and "whale"...I was ready for work!

FASHION FRIDAY: PREPPY SCHOOLGIRL

Happy Friday Jet Setters!  I'm so excited for the weekend, as we are planning to go and cut down a tree and decorate for Christmas with the boys!  Something I'll probably wear this weekend...the below outfit.  That's because leggings, comfy tunics and glasses are all my "go-to" pieces in my wardrobe both for everyday and especially for travel!  Looking at this outfit, I feel very "Preppy Schoolgirl," but as a youngish mom of two, this is an easy look that is comfortable and makes me feel good.  That is why when I found this tunic/dress at J. Crew Factory recently, I knew I had to have it.  Here I paired it with leggings, a denim shirt, boots and a maroon scarf (one of my favorite Fall 2013 colors).  But, I also plan to wear it with tights and heels for a more dressy look, and maybe belted with a blazer too.
