I decided to join Inside Out Style Blog’s No Repeat November 

It doesn’t mean no repeat of an individual item, just not repeat of an entire outfit.  

More Information can be found on the site.

Linking up today with Favorite Fashion Friday And The Best Of Firday Style

And Fashion Item Friday

I’ve had this outfit sitting in the front of my closet for a busy day to grab and go and today was one of those days! 

I love the shutter pleat top and apparently so does my husband, he complimented my blouse

3 times within 15 minutes of walking in the door.

I loved the chance to wear my cobalt pumps two days in a row! 

My necklace was bought on my Grand Caymans Vacation and reminds me of fun in the sun! 

It was nice to pair something besides black , grey or yellow with my cobalt tribal print jeans by Diane Gilman , which is how I wore them last year. 

Dear Readers. life at this stage is so full of changes and today was the last year we will take a child Trick or Treating. A sad chapter to close… There could be even bigger changes ahead and I cant get it out of my head that by next Fall, my three oldest will all be out of the house going from a family of 6 to just 3.  How will I cook for so few people???  How quiet will it be without everyone talking over each other.  How special will it be for our youngest to have our full attention?  So much to ponder, miss and look forward to , Hope this much change doesn’t hit me too hard….

One last picture with the pose he chose!

He loved this costume from last year so much he wore it again! 

Gratitude

I am grateful that my husband took off work to be able to go trick or treating. 

I am grateful that Nicholas was kind hearted enough to go with Connor when he asked.

I am grateful that my brother was so forgiving for my acccidental 2 am cell phone dial that woke him up. 

I am grateful that we have found a great car mechanic who comes to the house.

I am grateful for the family fun we had trying out the new log splitter, boy what a workout!
