Hi Foxy Friends! Hope your week is going well. Today on The Blended Blog we are show casing how we style camo...if you can believe it, 4.5 years ago I wouldn't have thought I would ever wear camo. I joined a style challege, and it forever changed my life. Right now you can sign up for the Fall Style Challenge. If you are in a rut with your clothes, I would highly recommend it, here is my affiliate link code. It's $39 to join and you get 37 pieces (some you can buy or you can use what you have in a different way) and get 23 outfits to make with those pieces. It's super fun filled with fun ladies sharing their outfits daily.

Anyway, before that challenge I wouldn't have even mixed patterns, now I can't imagine life without that! And leopard...never in a million years would have worn those...and now it is a regular in my life. Okay totally off topic now, back to camo. A good pair of camo jeans goes a long way. I decided to showcase mine with my new favorite camisole, also seen here, and a little pattern mixing.

Jeans (similar) / Cami (on sale right now!) / Blazer (similar here and here) / Heels (other colors are 60% off, click here for those, wish they had my size! But they have every size above mine still left!)

On another note, remember when I told you I ordered this dress? Well I got it and unfortunately it didn't fit, but the good news. For those ladies that are looking for a wrap type dress (this one is a fake one), and are not well endowed, if you know what I mean, this dress is perfect! I know I always have problems with finding a wrap dressing that don't drape horribly.

Did you style something camouflage this week? Link up any look down below!

Camo and Coral

Hello Foxy Friends! Today I have a two for one. While we were in Toronto and walked a bazillion miles looking at everything Toronto I had a chance to take some photos of my outfit. So get ready to see some photos that are NOT my backyard, I know you're jumping for joy too.

These pants arrived Wednesday before I left for Toronto, and when I put them on I knew I had to work it into my wardrobe. I was going to link them, but it looks like they are all sold out, boo!

and of course I had to do a jumping picture in front of a graffiti wall.

Planning: Currently planning a Mom's Night Out for tomorrow. It got postponed from last week to this week, and now it's turning out that many can't come till later, so I'm thinking about pushing it back 30 minutes. Other then that, not planning much.

Wishing: That I had more vacation time to spend with the kids this summer, but alas I don't, stupid corporate world, not giving us enough vacation time, but I am glad that we have some fun things planned for this summer.

Learning:  How to use my new Cricut. I have several projects I want to do but using new software freaks me out, so I've been avoiding it.

Browsing: All of the fashion things. I mean as soon as I put a self imposed shopping ban on...I find all the things I want. Like this, this and this. 

Going: To swim lessons. Usually we take the school year off and then start back up for the summer. My mom was a genius and said, why don't you make their lessons for after Baby Fox's karate class, so he'll go to Karate and then swim lessons right after. Perfect timing. I hope Min Fox learns lots. She's pool safe, but she doesn't know any strokes or anything. Baby Fox knows the basics to most of all of the strokes, but we'd like him to become a better swimmer. I think I might be the only parents that sits there and watches the entire lesson. I like to know what they are capable.

Fall Challenge - Week 2

Hello all! 2nd week of the Style Challenge*, and I'm back with 7 more outfits. Well 5 plus 2 outfits that I would have worn had I had the chance. So let's get to it. Here are the outfits at a glance.

Let's break it down:

Day 3

I'm absolutely loving this outfit, but it's just a bit too hot to wear right now, but hey a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, outfits must be put together! I actually followed the outfit formula, unlike Day 1 and 2.  But I will definitely be pulling this one out come colder weather.

Day 4

Love this outfit too! Can we talk about these jeans? I got them during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, so they are no longer available but these* and these* are very similar. They are the most comfortable jeans! They don't pinch at the waist and are the softest jean material ever! I would wear them everyday if that was socially acceptable. I would however, order a size down. I ordered my size and a few hours later I'm finding that I'm hiking up my jeans.

I only have two blazer, one is black and the other one is bright blue, but neither one really worked with this outfit, so I decided to switch it up to my pink leather jacket that I got from Wilson's Leather at the Camarillo Outlet Mall a few years ago. If you can go to a Wilson's Leather at an outlet great deals! I think I bought this jacket for $40!

This little lady wanted to jump in the picture...okay that's a lie she was trying to photo bomb and I scooped her up and tried to get her to take a picture with me. I have a feeling this is what our family photos are going to be like in a couple of weeks, lots of bribery!

Day 5

Loving this* white button down that I bought. Seriously if you have been looking for a white button down look no further! This shirt is worth every single penny, it's a little more than I would normally spend, but it's so soft and doesn't feel still like other buttons downs. I actually want to wear this, instead of just wearing something just to wear it.

I didn't follow the outfit formula again. I don't have a gray cable knit sweater yet, not sure if I am going to get one since I would probably rarely wear it over this white shirt, too hot! But that could be the 100° weather talking, come back in a few months.

So instead of adding the sweater over it, I just added this scarf. I really love the plaid in this scarf, and for the life of me can't remember where I got it.

Day 6

I ordered some olive jeans* (super comfy and on sale for $24.99! The olive color in person is much darker than online), but they hadn't come in the mail yet, so I subbed out for my Camo Jeans. Loving this outfit and will definitely repeat as it gets colder. If you don't have a pair of wedge booties, you have to get a pair! These were from Target a while back and were really reasonable. One day I'll buy the Toms version, but for now, my knockoffs will do.

Day 7

I absolutely love this plaid dress*. When Alison told us a plaid dress would be involved I wasn't sure if I was going to get one. I know that I'm not a red plaid dress girl, but found this black and white one and it's right up my ally.

Not totally sure if I can get away with the length, definitely not with the kids around, but for sure a great night out with the girls or the hubby.

Day 8

This is when I didn't have time to take pictures with the outfits on. So I put together a picture of what I would have worn. I'm actually surprised, I'm not sure I would have paired the olive jeans with that polka dot sweat, but I think it looks great! Apparently the olive jeans like to photograph a little lighter than they are in person, or maybe I need to get my eyes checked, either way this outfit looks great!

In case you were wondering, the outfit formula called for an orange sweater, which I don't have, I've been subbing in this polka dot one and it seems to be working with all of the outfit choices so far.

Day 9

Again I didn't have time to take a photo of this outfit, but I am LOVING my new burgundy jeans (which of course they don't have in stock any more), they are super soft and I can't wait to wear them.

I did sub out the riding boots for these flats, since most likely I wouldn't have worn my riding boots with them. I'm not sure why, but in my head it just didn't make sense. The outfit calls for the grey cable sweater over it, to me that makes more sense to wear the riding boots, but with just the button down, I didn't think so.

There you have it, 7 more outfits brought to you by Alison! Which was your favorite?

My First Pair of Camo's and Vlog

I finally got a pair of camo. I wasn't on board with the camo jeans until I kept seeing all the ladies from the style challenge wear them, and I just had to get in on the fun. But by the time I was on board it seemed like EVERYWHERE was sold out. I finally found them here. I was hesitant at first, but so glad that I just bit the bullet and went for it. They fit perfect! Well minus the length, but I have that problem with every pair of jeans.

That untucked part that looks while on my right hip, driving me crazy, sometimes I wonder, when Mr. was taking my photo, didn't he notice how funny it looked? Oh well, you get the idea. I love, love, love this shirt, it's so comfy. I want it in every color...if I could only remember where I got it...

Funny how just before taking these photos, I really caked on the make-up. I darkened my eyeshadow a bunch and brightened up the cheeks, yet you can barely tell I'm wearing make-up. Funny how that works. I do however LOVE my lipstick. I just got it, it's the Maybelline Buffs collection in the color Untainted (#950). I think it's the perfect everyday color for me.

Onto some randoms: Okay really just one random.

Did you know I have a youtube channel? I just think it's so cool when I see daily vloggers and how cool it must be for them to look back on certain days and not just look at pictures (like me) but actually see what they were doing, and watch a video of it. I'm sure I'll love looking back at my kids when they just started talking and see what it was like, instead of just looking at a picture. So I'm going to try and take more videos of my kids and then post it here for you to see. Keeps me accountable, cause I have SO many videos and I do nothing with them. So this is me trying to do something with it. If you subscribe to my channel, that's part of an entry to my giveaway, so go ahead and do both! $400 to Nordstrom, great way to get your summer wardrobe!

I tried to do a whole weekend worth of vlog to make one long video, but my software had other plans for me. So I had to break it up by day. I just keep fighting with the software, frustrating, but it's something I really want to do...so here are the first two days. By the time I figure this out, I'll be a month behind, LOL.

I'll eventually get the hang of it...so they might come at you sooner, instead of 3 weeks later, LOL. 

Until then happy Hump Day!
