Blast From the Past

Hi Foxy Friends! Today over on The Blended Blog we're going back to our high school selves to show you how we dressed...Not sure if I want to show you. As I am looking through pictures, I don't feel like I've changed that much! Haha!

Then 

I went through some old pictures and realized I sort of wear the same thing...take this, denim shirt with floral skirt...that's in right now...sort of.

Now

Updated the skirt to a tulle one, and tied off the chambray shirt.

 Skirt (Similar) / Shirt (same style, different print)/  Heels (similar) / Earrings (similar) / Necklace (similar)

Then

Baggie jeans with a tank top...I still wear a lot of tank tops. Baggie jeans, no one likes those.

Now

White jeans and a floral tank top.

 Jeans (similar) / Tank (similar) / Wedges (similar)

 Then 

Jean shorts, tank and a short sleeve sweater...hmmm...the buttoning of the sweater, I question that.

Now

Ditched the sweater, and gone to printed tank tops.  No weird short sleeve, button awkwardly shirt needed.

Shorts (similar) / Tank (similar) / Flip Flops (size up at least 1/2 a size)

Alright now that I've thoroughly embarrassed myself, what did your high school self wear? Go link up your fashion post to The Blended Blog.

Love Is In The Air....Or On My Shirt

Hi Foxy Friends! Today I have my new favorite Love Tee, it's so cute, and it's only $10, can't beat that price! Now the weather needs to cool down, I don't like wearing tight tee's when it's hot. Currently we're having 95° weather with 71% humidity, which is high for us! Anyway, enough complaining, let's get to it.

Totally off topic, but my FAVORITE strapless bra is being price matched at Nordstrom (not part of the anniversary sale). Having things in your wish list paid off, I randomly put it there to remember to buy it later, and when I went to check on what I had in my wishlist, low and behold it was there 25% off! You need to get it, I can wear it all day and not have to pull up on it. You'll thank me later. I'm wearing it here:

Tank (now only $10.49, get it for next year!) / Shorts / Shoes (similar) 

Link up your fashion post below! I'd love to see what you got at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, or what you've been wearing lately!

The Blended Blog link up is currently in a Free Style mode for Summer, but we're working on some new stuff come Fall! So stay tuned for that!

Cold Shoulder Summer Outfit

Happy Wednesday Foxy Friends! Today I'm bringing you a shirt that I bought a while ago, and haven't worn yet here on the blog. Actually, in truth I haven't worn it out in public yet either. I was going to wear it to MNO the other night, but as I was getting dressed to go out my friends texted and said the restaurant was SUPER cold, so I adjusted accordingly. But I love, love, love this top. It's so fun for summer, and now that we're headed into the super hot months, this is going to be perfect.

Shorts // Shirt (Only $10!!) // Shoes (similar here and here)

My hair I did a simple braid, and swept it up to the side.

4th Of July Outfit

Happy Wednesday! I'm taking the day off and doing a day date with Mr. but I thought I would share my 4th of July outfit with you. I thought this year I'm going plain and simple.

Shorts (similar here - on sale for $28.80! and here) | USA T-Shirt | Shoes

I decided to go with a simple necklace and a bold lip, cause what's 4th of July without matching red lips to go with?

Funny how when I did my make up for this look, I thought it was so heavy and bold, but now looking at the pictures you can hardly see it...goes to show if you are taking pictures you need to put on WAY more then you think you need if you want it to show up in pictures.

A fun picture for you.

Also linking up with Anne from Anne In Residence and her monthly currently where she gives you the topics to talk about. This month her guest host Stephanie, okay let's get to the topics:

Documenting: Everything I can about the kids, I know I'm going to forget it all and I'm trying to get as much down as I can and take as many pictures as I can...cause moments like these, go by fast and I can barely remember it all.

Accomplishing: My first party of two birthdays this summer. Throwing Baby Fox a half birthday is awesome, but then it makes me throwing two summer birthdays, so now that one is done I'm onto the next. Mini Fox says she wants a Frozen party...at least there's lots out there to buy for that one. Phew.

Enjoying: Summer. I'm loving the long days and the swimming and get together with friends and the staying up late with the kids. It's all so fun and I already know it's going by way too quickly!

Reading: Well besides other people's blogs, not much. I need to get on that. Too much too do, too little time. Like today, I decided instead of doing something productive I wanted to take a nap. Could I have fought through the drowsiness and did something with my afternoon, yes, but did I? No...and it felt darn good.


Spending: Nothing! Woo hoo! I am on my no shopping ban and I haven't spent anything. Actually that's not true, today my Fabletics monthly subscription (referral link) came up and I decided to use it this month because I am in desperate need of some new shorts. I have been wearing the same shorts for at least 10 years...I know. I just can't seem to find any that I really like. I like a wide waist band and the built in underwear...anyone have any leads? I'm hoping these ones will work out, we'll see.

I know tight shorts, but I say, hey if people can wear tight pants to the gym, why not tight shorts? I hope they hold it all in, and I hope I can return them if I don't like...yikes!

So tell me...if you celebrated 4th of July, what time did you get home?

Shorts and Ruffle Tee And A Fun Summer Pony Tail Tutorial

Happy hump day Foxy Friends!  I haven't done a hair tutorial in a while, so I thought I would share one this week and one next week for a fun Summer Link Up I'm participating in, heck I might get crazy and do another one the week after. But not let's get crazy here.

When I was thinking about Summer time, I thought what is the quintessential hair style, a pony tail came to mine right away. So I figured I would show you a slightly different take on your normal pony tail.

These shorts are my new favorite. They are the perfect length and they are stretchy, so you don't get that feeling like it is cutting off circulation. The top is a light weight tee, but it has ruffles so it gives it some interest.

Shorts // Tee (6 colors) // Wedges (Similar here, here and here)

It usually pretty hot in the summer, so I thought I would show you an easy fancier ponytail to make it look like you tried a bit, but in reality it's still a ponytail and it's off your neck and out of your face. Here's a video on how I got this hair style. On a side note: when I was growing back all of those baby hairs, I used this style, minus the clips, for the gym, got those annoying hairs in my face way so I could work out.

Here is a picture of the pony tail without the clips in.

Here is the after...it's it crazy how much fuller it is? This is a must if you want to make it look like you have a ton of hair. You could probably tease it a bit to get it more full, but I found that I had enough hair I didn't have to do that. It gives it just that little bit of poof that makes it look a little more interesting. Please ignore all of the split ends, I have a hair appointment at the end of the month. I used these mini jaw clips.

What I Wore - My Go to Summer Outfit

Hello Foxy Fashion Friends! We're here in that time frame when the summer if fading and Fall is coming, but not quite yet. Okay so where I live that might not be applicable, but we are having an unseasonably cooler summer (I know I"m going to be eating those words come October when the 100° weather finally hits us), and I am loving every second of it. That being said, on Sunday it was 91° out which calls for my go to summer outfit.

These are probably the most comfortable shorts I own, if I could wear them all day everyday I totally would, unfortunately that thing called work, boo!

I haven't been feeling the hair thing lately, I did curl my hair though, so that's something. I haven't done that in a while. I felt that a simple get the hair off of my face would be perfect for going to a kids party at a play place.

I do have to say that my hair did turn out pretty good, I often wonder what do I do different that make my curls look good one time but not others...still trying to figure that one out. If I figure it out you'll be the first to know.

I had Mr. take this super close up picture of me so I could show you my lipstick. I've mentioned the Kylie Lip Kits on Friday, and here is the Posie K, I put it on about 10:45am, and I'm taking this picture at 5pm, I have no reapplied at all. Amazing right? I highly recommend them. I am ordering some Colour Pop next, which is apparently a dupe of the Kylie Lip kits but only $6 instead of $29. I'll keep you posted.

I only did things to my hair this week that you've seen before...boring I know. I'll get back on the wagon...promise. I have Friday off, so during naptime I'm going to record a video on how to pancake your braid...anyone want to know how to do that? Or would you rather see something else? Let me know in the comments and I'll make it on Friday.

Now that summer is coming to an end...in some places, what have you been wearing to transition? Link up below to show us the must have before summer ends!

But wait before you go! Don't forget to enter our $150 giveaway over at The Blended Blog, we're celebrating our 1 year blogiversary and want to share the occasion with you! You have 2 more days! So get to answering those questions!
