A Real Outside Winter Outfit

Hi Foxy Friends! A couple of weeks ago, I shared a California Winter outfit. Yep, it involves faux leather leggings.

As you know recently I went to Canada with my family to visit some friends. See that recap here and here. Well Deena and Abbie surprised us a photoshoot, and it was so fun! Thank you to Larissa from Lovely Roots Photography for capturing some amazing pictures. But thought I would share my outfit details.

Blush Pants and Over The Knee Boots

Happy hump day Foxy Friends! I am so excited for this outfit, I can't even begin to tell you. I found these blush pants while in Canada with The Blended Blog ladies, back in 2016, I know, forever ago and this is my first time wearing them. What took me so long? Not sure, but you can't stop me now.

These boots, you guys...I can't even begin to tell you how much I love them! They are from Target, and under $50, say what?! I have super wide calves (even some wide calf boots don't fit me), and these fit like a charm. According to the reviews, they also fit skinny calves too. It's like they are the Sisterhood of the Traveling Boots. I didn't think I would ever find over the knee boots that fit over my calves AND didn't make me look short...

In case you were wondering, I'm wearing Lipsense in Mulled Wine.

And a silly shot...cause I know you wanted to see it. I think these boots make me feel sassy.

Styling Boots

Hello Foxy Friends! For those coming from Alison's blog welcome! Today for The Blended Blog October Style Series, we're talking about boots! Give me all of the boots! I have too many pairs, although I could use some cool weather. Come on cool weather, I'm waiting every so impatiently.

Last year I did a post on transitioning your Summer to Fall wardrobe with booties...

I have bought a few new boots this season that I can't wait to break out, so I thought today I'd show you how I'm going to be styling my new boots this Fall.

I am breaking all of the rules and wearing white after Labor Day, wooo!! Who's with me? I seriously cannot get enough peep toe booties. Give me all of the booties, this is actually my first pair and I didn't think I would like them (hence why it took me so long to buy them), but now that I have them...I need all of them.

I also wore these for our family photo shoot (Similar here* and here*) but you'll have to wait to see those pictures.

I haven't worn this dress since I wore this dress since this family photo shoot, 4 years ago...because I couldn't find the right shoes...now I want to wear this on repeat...so does Mini Fox.

I wore these exactly once...actually for last years family photo shoot...funny how I keep doing that. It's worth it for the pictures right? No, really I wore them and then had ankle surgery the next day...heels and me haven't gotten along in a while, I'm finally able to get in heels comfortably... a year later, you better believe these babies are making it's debut outside of photos.

I just bought these boots** (comes in different colors and is only $29.95) from Cents of Style**, such a good deal and holy cow they are comfortable!

**Not affiliate links

And this is one of my first pairs of booties I bought...I can't believe I didn't really know how to style them...now I'm all about it!

I can't wait to start rotating through them. Here are some of my favorite boots this season, can I just win the lottery so I can buy them all?

 

 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

What is your favorite boot this season? Now hop on over to The Blended Blog to see how the other ladies are styling their boots.

Speaking of awesome accessories, I participated in Vanessa's scarf exchange this year, exchanging scarves with fellow bloggers, yes I'm in! I drew Penny, so head on over to her blog to see the scarf that I got her. As I waited in anticipation, I got a package from Holly last week, and I could not be more excited to open it up.

Loved that she even wrapped it in tissue paper, the card was just the cutest.

And the moment you have all been waiting for.  I love how she even thought of where I lived and didn't buy a huge blanket scarf that probably wouldn't get much wear, it's light weight and has several colors in it, so it will go with a ton of stuff. Perfect!

I haven't gotten a change to wear it yet...think 90° temps...yuck. But can't wait to break this out soon!

Thank you so much Holly for being so considerate! I love it! Now to pick out the perfect outfit

Leggings!

I've jumped on the leggings train. Full on jump with both feet without looking. This girl said buy some, they're the most comfy things ever, I said okay. She wasn't wrong, these cover up the "muffin top" and sort of squish everything into place. I had been wearing them under skirts and dresses

but decided to go all out and just do it! So I did, and I really do love how this outfit came together. I put the shirt on, and thought it needs more then a necklace, so I put the scarf on. We were going to a birthday party that was going to be a little cold, so I added the light sweater.

Shirt - Nordstroms, Sweater - Nordstroms Rack, Scarf - Francesca's Collection (old), Leggings - Nordstroms, Boots - DSW

In other news, guess what Mini Fox did over the weekend?

Does anyone else find it odd, that she can't roll from tummy to back (which is suppose to be the easier direction), but she can go from back to tummy. Strange. Anyway, she decided to do this at 2am, and then was so confused as to how she got there. I watched her in the monitor, she would look around, then lay her head down, the look around. When I went in to get her, she had this huge smile on her face, like she was saying, See Mommy what I did?

Because I posted something about Mini Fox, I'll post something about Baby Fox. My parents take him to the library once a week. They were looking at a book about a Wooly Mammoth and my dad says, so they lived a long time ago, and without missing a beat Baby Fox says, like Ice Age? My dad was floored, he had forgotten, no my son's not a genius but he just pays attention and had just recently watched Ice Age (the movie) on TV. haha, I should have played along though right?

Bargain Outfit

Now that I'm back at work and actually have time to be on a computer, I can return to regularly blogging. I don't know how stay at home Mom's blog everyday.

It was my Mama's birthday yesterday, but we celebrated on Saturday with dinner and a movie. Sorry there aren't any detailed pictures, we were on our way into the restaurant and I was trying to find somewhere to take a picture and we saw this green light pole and we thought perfect place to take a picture right? My parents and sister were waiting for us, and they wouldn't seat us until we were all there, oops.

I bought these green pants at Old Navy. I have another pair of the same style and I love them so much I wanted to get another pair. I looked online and it said they were $19.95 with 15% off, okay I can do that. I refuse to pay shipping, and I didn't want to buy $100 worth of random stuff just to get it, so I called the store to see if they had my size, they had 1 left, kismet. I asked the lady what the price was because the online the price said it was $20, is that the same price? She said let me check...nope it says they are $9.95!!!! Come again? I'll be over there in 10 minutes, hold those pants!

Pants - Old Navy, Shirt - Loft, Jacket - Wilson's Leather Outlet, necklace - Forever 21, bracelet - One Kings Lane (not shown, but it's there), Bag and Boots - DSW

The green bag I'm holding, is from DSW, in the clearance section. It was originally $119, and I got it for $15! Yep that's right, $15, but I did use a $15 coupon to get it to that price. Leather bag for $15, another score!

You ask about the pink leather jacket? Bought while I was very pregnant at an outlet mall while waiting for my dad to start this.

That's actually my dad landing

It was $30, mega sale right? My sister-in-law was jealous the moment she saw my new jacket and was sad she didn't go shopping with us when we were waiting for my Dad to take off.

Side note: These pants are actually cropped pants for normal height people. But for us shorty people, they are the perfect ankle pants.

Random Wednesday

When I went to take these pictures, and got the tri-pod out, Baby Fox, ran to where I normally take the pictures, pushed all the strollers and toys out of the way and posed for the camera...he's such a ham!

Okay and now onto my outfit. You've seen me wear this shirt before, but I haven't done an official outfit post on it. So here it is.

Sweater - Old Navy, Pants - Ann Taylor Loft, Belt - White House Black Market (old), Necklace - Target, Boots - DSW

 

And now onto some Random Things:

Microwave Saga - They told us it would ship in two weeks, we finally wrote them and said we never got a shipping confirmation, they wrote back and said it wasn't going to happen for another 3 weeks at minimum. So we went out and bought a cheap microwave, we just couldn't do it any more...seriously, two weeks is one thing, but 6 weeks...a whole other story! It was so glorious to have a microwave again...I commend people who don't have one!

 I've been wanting to start a Valentine's project now for a week, but haven't mustard up the energy to do so, it just involves paint, what could be harder, nothing, so I'm going to start it tonight...by telling you guys I'm making myself accountable, so maybe, just maybe I'll get it done!

I got 7 hours of sleep last night and it was glorious! Note to self: when you get more sleep, you actually wake up refreshed and not ready to go back to bed. Must do that more often...

Speaking of sleep...you know you blog too much and stalk too many people when you start having dreams about them being in your everyday life. For example, last night I had a dream that I went to a mom's group and sitting there was Shanna! Just to let you know, she was just as nice in my dream as I would imagine she is in real life, and equally well dressed. I think she was wearing a red blazer and some sort of colored jeans and boots.

Happy Hump Day, I only have one more day left of work, woo hoo! Off on Monday, off on Friday, three day work week, I'll take it!

Random Wednesday

I wore this last week to work...it's the most comfy sweater dress ever. I got it from, where else, Ann Taylor Loft, man I love that place! So I have a confession, I have the biggest calves EVER. It's in the genes, I mean guys at the gym come up to me and ask me what I did to get my calves, I say, they just are, while I glance at their chicken legs. I tell them, I'd be happy to switch with them. All this to tell you it's HARD for me to find boots that go up over my calves. Most boots come with a 14" circumference. These babies...are 16" of amazing boots! So if you have larger calves get these, they fit over skinny jeans and are just plain awesome! And they're an affordable price too! I think I wore them three days in a row when I first got them.

Necklace - Mr. got me for Christmas a couple years ago from Forever 21, yep he went into F21 and got me something, what a guy!

And of course it wouldn't be a photo shoot without Baby Fox photo bombing it!

 

And now onto some Random Things:

Two of my favorite bloggers have decided this week to take a break from blogging and focus more on themselves. Good for them, but am sad that they are going to be leaving for a while. I hope that they figure it all out and come back, eventually. Just in case, I won't be deleting them from my news feed.

Having no microwave makes me have to cook more meals, boo. Left overs just aren't the same when it takes just as long to heat it back up as it did to make it. Last week I actually made the same meal two days in a row from scratch because there was no way to heat up the pork chops I had already defrosted before the microwave broke. Our new microwave still hasn't shipped yet...I'm getting impatient.

My husband makes me laugh so hard, I love that after almost 10 years being together he can still make me laugh like no other. He's a funny guy.

Remember Baby Fox's first time out? Well since then he's shut off the light a couple of times, and each time we say "remember what happened when you turn off the lights?" He looks at us and says yea, and walks over to the corner to put himself in time out. We then say, no no, you don't have a time out right now, just don't do it again. And that usually stops him from turning off the light, until the next night at least.

I got a paper cut at work yesterday, right on my finger joint, does that qualify for Workman's comp? I think it should, it hurts! Why is it that the smallest of paper cuts hurts so much?!

Hope you guys are having a great Wednesday. Only 2 more days left of work!
