WIW - Walking with Dinosaurs, Party & Andrea Inspired

Photos 1-4 I took Friday off and DD and GS(grandson) and I went to the museum. GS is currently obsessed with dinosaurs so that was our first stop. Had a comedy moment when DD and I were busy chatting and GS discovered a tiny gap in the perspex surrounding the dinosaurs and wiggled in. Fortunately DD managed to extract him before any damage was done.
I wore black straights, grey smocked T, red hi/lo cardi & black/snake flats

Photo 5 is my inspiration for my Saturday Night 60th party look.
Photo 6-7 - I'm wearing black maxi skirt, red ankle boots, fuschia lace top, black elastic belt with silver clasp. My makeup looked better in real life (I hope).

Photo 8 is my inspiration - thanks Andrea.

Photo 9-10 - what I wore to brunch with DH and friends. I'm wearing bootleg jeans, striped T, cobalt/black/grey scarf, black military jacket & black skeetchers.

Where do I begin? To tell the story of how Kiwichik rocked so many different looks?

#3 is carefree and lovely.
#6 and 7 - Move over, Stevie cause here comes Kiwi! Red is your color, and I love the high belt. Smashing!
#9 and 10 - You are playful and it works! Sgt Peppers jacket makes the outfit for me.

Groovy!

Kiwichik

Thanks Julie I'm liking the Sgt Peppers reference. I must have been subconsciously channeling the Beattles as their music featured quite a bit at the 60th birthday party.

#6 has rendered me speechless Kiwi - STUNNING!
#9/10 - is also fantastic.

Your GS is absolutely adorable BTW!

Thanks TS had fun and the party getting on down to 60s and 70s tunes.

I love all your looks. YOu rock red and red lipstick fabulously. 3 is casual cool, 6 is stunning and I LOVE that jacket in 9-10. So glad no dinosaurs were harmed and your GS is adorable.

Thanks JJ. The dinosaur moment was so funny - we heard GS calling out look Mummy I'm with the dinosaurs - I've never seen DD move so fast.

Deborah

Love these looks on you. 6 is so dramatic! 3 is casual but just says "effortless cool" and 9 is classic cool! Your DD and GS are both gorgeous!

I think you are officially going on my list of inspirations.

Here's to being the coolest Grandma in town. (They sure don't make grandma's like they used to.)

Thanks Deborah and JR.

Hi KC,
You have a beautiful family, and it sounds like you all had a fun and adventurous day.
All of your looks are nice, but my favorite outfit is #9 and 10. I love that black, white, and blue combination.

Kiwichik, pic#6 is STUNNING with a Japanese Doll frailty and bombshell amalgamation! Hair different and perfect too.

@Victoria - thankyou but don't tell Andrea.
@Parsley a great time was had by all especially GS who wants go go see the dinosaurs again.
@Jayne - haha I'm imagining you saying Daaaahling with a Cruella Deville accent (don't ask me why I just am)
@Lyn thank you I wish I really did have the fraility of a Japanese doll.

You look gorgeous beyond words in 6/7. I am sure you were the most beautiful, best dressed at the party!

And what is it about little boys and dinosaurs, many seem to go through an intense interest at that age. And yes he is adorable.

I like both yours and Andrea's outfits. Hers is more RATE, yours is polished. So it depends on what style you prefer.

Thanks CL good point re mine & Andrea's looks.
