Calm Before The Storm

{Black Riding Pants ~ NY&Co / White T-shirt ~ GAP {Men's} / Khaki Safari Jacket ~ Calvin Klein / Cream Sneakers ~ Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars / Bangles ~ Thrifted / Handbag ~ Gucci Joy Boston Satchel / Gold Hoops ~ Beauty Supply and these are seriously, my favorite pair of earrings!}

Just came in from a family dinner date at The Cheesecake Factory.  So good {and of course we have tons of leftovers, as the portions there are HUGE!}! Whenever we decide to go out to dinner, usually on a Friday night, we always take a vote and The Cheesecake Factory somehow always wins, lol. But you won't hear any complaints here; no cooking for me and delicious food for all of us! 

Before leaving out {to go anywhere, really}, I always like to freshen up and change an item of clothing or two and this time It was actually really refreshing to have these sneakers on, especially since it STORMED {thunder, lightning, wind and torrential downpours} right after taking these pictures.  *WHEW* I just made it.

Both Isis and I had on Chucks and she thought it was the best thing ever.  Since there are 2 boys and 2 girls in our house, she likes to point out the similarities whenever she can. Tonight it was: "The girls have on chucks and the boys have on shorts."  and "The boys are on one side of the booth and the girls are on the other side." ...and on and on. She notices everything, just like mommy. I love her! :)
