I Just Want to Dance

I bought these pants at Old Navy for $10, how crazy of a good deal is that?! But one problem, they are too big...anyone know how to alter pants? You can't tell from the photos but they do have this flower print on them, in the same color as the pants, obviously, but it makes them unique...I'm determined to make these work and not spend a ton of money getting them altered. I figure I might try on my own since they were only $10, if I mess up it's not breaking the bank. Thoughts?

Sunday was the first day I was feeling okay from the flu, so I threw on some make-up and this outfit and there ya go. I was actually going to wear a different outfit that I found on pinterest, but I left my black blazer at work, so I couldn't recreate the outfit, darn! Maybe some other time...after I alter my pants. Hey I altered the shirt for my Halloween Costume...I can do it with pants too right? Right?

So funny how when I'm doing my make-up I feel like I am wearing so much, but then in picture it barely shows up...so when you see all these fashion bloggers and their make-up looks so great, they must have SOOO much on...crazy.

Love this necklace that I bought at Loft last month, on sale of course :)

Now on to some Dancing Stuff:

Quick note: The title of the post...back in 2005 we were at a wedding of a family friend. The night was dying down and we told my brother we were all leaving, he looks at us straight faced and says "but I just want to DAAAANNCCE!" and starts swaying back and forth, elbows bent...sort of like this, but way slower.

Back to my post:

My Mom loves dancing...Dad not so much. But for their 42nd wedding anniversary, my Dad bought my mom some ballroom dance lessons...and get this, he said he would be her partner. On Friday when they came over they wanted to show off their new skills. I don't think my mom's smile could get any bigger.

Next wedding they go to, they'll be tearing up the dance floor! You go parents!

This one is a quick one, but Mini Fox wanted in on the dancing action.

I think our girl was meant to dance. Ever since we turned on Angelina Ballerina she's been obsessed. Like the first 2 minutes of the show she's copying the dance moves on the show, she's a natural.

Some of her dance moves...everyone does their dance moves on the couch right?

This is turning out to be her signature move, she tilts like this and twirls in circles. Cutest thing EVER!

Any fun(ny) dance stories you want to share?

Bright Red Lips

Back for week 3 of  Summer Style Me with Alison,  here's week 1 and week 2. For some reason I had trouble taking pictures on the actual day. I admit, Sunday I did a lot of outfit changes...Mr. was patient with me. Without further adieu here are my outfits this week:

Day 10

So this whole outfit was substituted...well I did have the bright bottoms, it called for shorts, but since I had to go to work, bright jeans it was.

I picked out the button down and then was trying to figure out a necklace, and...well I ran out of time, and just threw on the scarf. I need to figure out a belt, suggestions? Leopard to go with my shoes? Too much? Thoughts?

Pants - Loft (old), Button Down - Target, Scarf - Old Navy (old), Shoes - DSW (old)

Day 11

So this would be one of those outfit that I did on Sunday with Mr. And then when I uploaded them onto my computer and organized it, I didn't put it in the correct day, thinking I didn't have that outfit....

Tee Shirt - Target, Shorts - Loft, Shoes - Target, Watch -Jane.com (old), Earrings - Target

Sort of loving the statement earrings. I don't usually wear earrings, but after this Summer challenge I think I might have to change my mind.

I think put this one on...This is actually what I wore on Friday to do my errands and get ready for Baby Fox's party. Plus I bought the fedora yesterday and wanted to incorporate it in some pictures.
This outfit brought to you by Target...okay not really, but it did all come from there.

Tee Shirt - Target, Shorts - Target, Shoes - Target, Fedora - Target (can't find online)

I sort of love how this picture looks like I have one of those blow machine gently tossing my hair in the wind...in reality, I have no idea how it happened.

See bottom left? Yep that's Baby Fox he jumped into the picture thinking we were doing full length. And by we I mean me and my tripod, Mr. was out golfing.

Day 12

My usual spot was really sunny, so I figured I was in the sun, might as well stand somewhere else. Shadows...boo.

Shirt - Old Navy (on clearance rack), Shorts - Old Navy (Similar), Watch - Jane.com, Earrings - Target (similar)

Yep, I'm wearing red lipstick, fun right?

Day 13

This was Baby Fox's party day, I do have a black and white polka dot bikini on under this...was too self conscious to take a picture of it. But it is there.

Skirt - Target, Shirt - Old Navy (Old), Bathing Suit - Victoria Secret (old), Bracelets - Jane.com (old)

Day 14

I still haven't found a black maxi dress, so this will have to do, and I haven't found a vest either...one day I might find it.

Maxi - Nordstroms (old), Shoes - Nordstroms, Necklace - Jane.com (they always have them, just need to keep checking back)

Day 15

I'm not entirely sure about the mixing patterns. It looked better in person? Hmm...thoughts?

Shorts - Loft,  Striped Tee - Target, Shoes - Nordstroms (no longer in this color), Statment Necklace - Jane.com  

Day 16

I pretty much followed this outfit, but since I was taking make-up outfit posts (green shorts above), and the fedora was already outside, I added it to the outfit. I have to admit the fedora is growing on me. I can see myself wearing this to the park to help shade my face. Functional and pretty, score!

Skirt - Nordstroms, Shirt - Target, Sandals - Target (no longer available), Necklace - Jane.com, Fedora - Target

And that in a nutshell is my week of outfits, well what I mostly wore and didn't take any pictures and then made up for it on Sunday.

What are you loving this week?

I'm loving bright lipstick.
