Urban Safari

The weather in Tulsa had been a drag lately. We expected tons of rain in April, but we didn't get much. May has been rain galore! The weather has been cooler which is why I wore this Colorado inspired outfit to my kids school program. 

They were adorable. Wind players form the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra came and played along to Peter and the Wolf. I was so impressed by the production!

I am loving this stage of the kids life where they are "performing" finally! I have waited years to see my kids sing in choir let alone play an instrument!

White Party

Who doesn't love a White Party?!

Not this girl.

I love a good excuse to wear white, and it was so much fun deciding what white ensemble I was going to put together after the night was predicted to rain and my choices became very limited.

I went with white linen pants my mother in law gifted me years ago, and a white Target swimsuit that can double as a body suit. I don't own any white shoes, so I went with my nude So Kates.

I completed the look with my trusty white blazer (also a gift from my MIL) and I'm pretty happy with the way the outfit turned out. 

My friend Amelia was my plus one and we had a blast!

Mother's Day

 This year I went with Pink. My MIL found this dress on eBay and it is Lilly Pulitzer!

Hope everyone had a beautiful Mother's Day!

Tour Tulsa

My bestie from St. Louis came into town a few weekends ago, and I had so much fun being her Tulsa tour guide!

We had dinner at The Rooftop in downtown BA on Friday, on Saturday we went to the Gathering Place Park which she loved, and we went into downtown Tulsa in the evening to eat at Laffa and the  check out the record store!

She left Sunday but not before stopping by and saying buy.
It was a great weekend!

Birthday

We Celebrated my 35th Birthday a few weeks ago at Mi Cocina.

It was a great birthday all in all. My students sang happy birthday to me, my co-worker surprised me with an awesome gift, and dinner with family was nice.

I don't really feel any older, but I sure am getting old, lol!

Colorado

Hello!

Last week, I traveled to Colorado Springs with the high school orchestra students. 

It was a blast!

We arrived Wednesday after a long 12 hour journey, but it was well worth it!

I was so happy to have found a hat I love at Walmart, and I kept my style pretty laid back. 

As you can tell, I wore it quite a bit! 

We went to a local high school to play for a clinician, we visited the Olympic Training center, the Garden of the Gods, the Cheyenne Zoo and the Cave of Wonders. All great spots if you are ever in CO Springs! 

Hope y’all are having a great week!

Easter 2019

Happy Hump Day, everyone!

I am on my way to Colorado for the annual orchestra trip with the High School students. It’s my first time going on a trip with students, but I look forward to it.

Easter Sunday has come and gone and boy it was a good one!

The twins had an egg hunt, we had a beautiful service at church, and enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Marriott. The weather was amazing, too!

I wore an old dress that I have had for years, mainly because shopping for an Easter dress this year was not a priority for a variety of reasons. 

As you can see, the whole fam was in full

Easter mode, complete with pink and pastels, lol! 

Hope you all had a great Easter Sunday too!

Rachmaninoff

Hello!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Tulsa Symphony for the performance of one of my all time favorite pieces, Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances. I played it in high school and try to go see it as often as I can!

My colleagues and best friend came along and we had such a lovely evening. My friend cracked me up the whole time as she is not your regular symphony goer, but it was entertaining nonetheless!

I wore all black as did my bestie, I think a perfect look for the symphony. 

I guess you can say this is my favorite spot to take pics at the Tulsa PAC, lol!

I wore a sheer A&F mock neck, a pleather skirt, and my Zara shoes I got years ago but find myself wearing them more often than ever. I love when I purchase something that I don’t even realize I’ll wear for years!

Hope you all had a great week,

Mrs. S

Duet

Hello all!

Last Saturday, the Mr and I had a dinner date at a downtown place called Duet. It’s a restaurant turned jazz bar at night, sadly we did not get to hear any jazz because we went too early in the evening... 

It was nice weather so we decided to walk around a bit after. 

Guthrie Green park is in the middle of downtown Tulsa and a great place for music concerts and events. I’ll have to see what they have going onthis summer!

We also walked by the Tulsa Violin Shop, didn’t go in but I snapped a pic of the window display, pretty cool! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Tchaikovsky: The Man Behind the Music

Hello All

Last Saturday night, I

Attended the ballet with my colleague for the world premier of Tchaikovsky: The Man Behind the Music!

When I say I love Tchaikovsky, it is no joke. The violin and piano concerto are for sure in my top 10 favorite pieces of all time, and I knew the music was going to be amazing. Well, I was right except

I didn’t expect the incredible costumes, the grand sets, the mind-blowing dancing! It was a once in a lifetime experience.

I wore a jumpsuit my MIL gifted me for Christmas. However, in true moi fashion, I accidentally tripped and fell flat on my bottom on the way in! I was mortified, but as all classy ladies do, I got up and kept my head up high. That is until the couples walking near us walked up to me to make sure I was ok, as well as

A guy who ran accross the street to tell me what an “awesome” fall it was...

Yeah. 

Well, you would never guess looking at the photo I took that I had just fallen.

I love the way it makes me

Look taller! 

It was a lovely evening, despite my faux pa!

Casino Part 2

Hello All!

Last Friday my husband and I went on a date to dinner at a local Cajun place since it is crawfish season and then back to the Casino!

We gambled on the slots and we left with as much as we came with, bummer!

I wore a dress I’ve had for years and had yet to wear. Do you have any outfits that you buy thinking, “I’ll wear it someday, for some reason”?! I have several

of those (yikes)! I was happy to pair it with a denim button down since it was a little chili and I wore my open toed Steve maddens. Once again, my LV pouchette was all I needed for a quick night out :) 

Casino’s have never really been my thing but the past few times I’ve been I’ve had a fun time playing the slots, even getting a bit of a rush! I’d love to try playing the more serious games such as blackjack or poker, but I’m not brave enough yet...

I would definitely wear an outfit like this to a concert, I call it “Spring Cowgirl Chic”

Hope you all had a good week, I’ll be back soon with a recap to our trip to the mountains!

Happy Friday,

Mrs. S

I'm Back!

Hello All, 

I have been waiting a bit to figure out WHY and IF I should start blogging again and I decided to come back!

There are far too many memories I'd like to keep track of on this website and I think changing the name and theme will help me go towards a new and fun direction for my readers. 

I really enjoyed sharing my life first as a newlywed then as a new mom, but now that the twins are 4, I am starting to feel like I need something just for me. I figured the first step is to change the name of my blog. I chose Melody and Style, because I am a musician, and I believe that there are lots of fashion choices I make based on the creativity I have enriched myself through music all my life. There IS melody in fashion... Some people call it a theme, I call it a melody. It is also my wish that you can take away some musical knowledge aside from just be inspired by my outfits and fashion choices.

Here is a pic of me at the Hard Rock Casino with a guitar signed by all members of THE EAGLES! I am wearing a silk tank with a black blazer my MIL gifted me for Christmas a few years back and some Express faux leather leggings. I hardly ever wear my CL So Kate’s so I had to whip them out/kill my feet for the night, and there’s nothing easier to carry than my LV clutch. I usually hold just my cell, credit card/ID, and some lip gloss. 

With spring and summer quickly approaching and several fun events coming up (baby showers, Easter, concerts, etc.) I think it will be so fun to document my outfits and share my thought process on each and every one!

I am excited to continue this journey that I left over a year ago and excited to share what's ahead.

Till next time, Mrs. S.
