Happy Chinese New Year

2012 hasn't start smoothly for our family.  My son had gotten a stomach flu and I was under the pressure for product tape out.  The time taken to stay home care for my son him means there are more work pile up on the tight schedule.
So I am officially going to start my new year on the Chinese Lunar new year and hopefully things would go on more smoothly this time, haha :-)

Red is the color of celebration and purple is also a happy color.  In fact the word "Great red and purple" is a proverb describing someone is prosperous.

Originally I was hoping to wear this set from Anthropologie

but the Chinese new year happen to be on the Monday when I aide at my daghter's school, and we are schedule to do PE.   Doing jumping jack on a pecil skirt is just not going to work out.  So I decided to go "Great purple and red", wearing the Chinese vest my husband got for me when he visited China on top of the JCREW's  purple cashmere sweater and paired with jeans and UGG boots.

May the new year bring prosperity to your family!


Happy Chinese New Year

    1. No kidding, the worst is they usually do it in a batch, one brings it home and the rest of the families get it too.
