Hi Foxy Friends! Back with another outfit post. I know who am I? It's like I'm a fashion blog...said no one ever. Anyway, I just got this dress from the cutest shop, called My Cute Closet. It's a local mama owned shop and her stuff is just the cutest. This dress is so cute a few of us bought it. She has no idea I'm showcasing her today, so give her some love on IG, and tell her hi, and check out some of her stuff.
Anyway, I thought I would style this dress three ways: a date night, brunch or a day out shopping.
First up is the day out shopping. Nothing says shopping like a good pair of tennis shoes. You've seen these before.

Okay, now you've just woken up and your friend has called and wants to go to Brunch. You need a super cute outfit and quick, use this same outfit, but add sandals instead.
Sandals (similar), These ones are super cute with the bow, same company that mine are from (so size up, I ordered them in my size and needed to size up)
Alright, after brunch, you've now been asked on a date, switch out those shoes, add some darker make up and you've got the perfect date night outfit.
Hi Foxy Friends! Today is the first week that The Blended Blog is doing themes, today's theme is Sparkle and Shine, take it how you want to...that's the beauty of these prompts, today our lovely Whitney is heading this up. Head on over to her blog, or over to The Blended Blog to link up your Sparkle and Shine posts.
As I was thinking about this post, I got to thinking, I don't own anything with that much sparkle. But then I thought, you know what? Anything that you wear can make you FEEL sparkly and shiny. That counts right? Then I remembered the dress I bought in Hilton Head, and I thought that would be the perfect dress to wear to New Years and make me feel good about myself and oh so pretty.

I love the strap detail. It makes the whole dress and I felt that simple studs would be the best way to go.
This dress has the same chain straps but in maxi length.
So back to New Years...let's find something that will make you all sparkle and shine. I've put together fancy dress option and more comfortable options, hopefully you'll find something that will work for you!
So any fun parties these outfits might work for you?
Join us for our next two prompts, and next year we have a whole new set of fun Wednesday prompts.
Head on over to these other ladies blogs to see how they are sparkling and shining and then go link up over on The Blended Blog or over on our host Whitney's blog!
Hi Foxy Friends. Welcome to another week of The Blended Blog Style! Taking a break from the style link up because today I'm the co-host with Anne for Currently. Today's topics Planning, Seeing, Making, Pretending, Wearing. Head on over to The Blended Blog to link up your fashion post though.
Planning:
What our summer is going to look like. So far I've come up blank. We were going to plan a trip to Hawaii, but Mr. found out Southwest is going to start offering flights to Hawaii, so he figured flights would go down...so I think we're going to wait on that one...
We're going to try and get a campsite in Yosemite, so planning on camping this summer.
And lastly, trying to plan out the camps that Baby Fox is going to take this summer. So much planning and schedules haven't come out yet, so this planner is itching to pull the trigger and I can't because no one else likes to plan 6 months in advance, haha!
Seeing: Medieval Times! We went for the first time last weekend and it was AMAZING. So much fun and you know what? The food was REALLY good. Much better than I thought it was going to be, that's for sure.
Our knight won the battle and the friend we were with got crown the queen of the tournament, so I got them to snap a quick picture with Mini Fox.
Making:
My very first palette sign! I just started doing it, and the person I'm making it for might (but probably not) read this...so I won't give it away, but I'm super excited, the first half turned out pretty good. Home Depot cuts wood for you, helpful when you can't fit a 6' board in your car.
Pretending:
I'm going on vacation soon, when in fact I'm working 50+ hours a week...Looking forward to October for a 5 day girls vacation though! Can't wait to see these girls again!
Wearing:
I wore this to Mom's Night out last month and it was the perfect outfit for keeping my legs warm, and still being able to wear a dress even though it was slightly chilly outside. I also added a moto jacket, not shown.
Happy Wednesday. Yesterday I had off, it was a nice break in the week, and I have Friday off, so basically I worked 4 days last week, 3 days this week, next week is 5 days, I might die, haha (dramatic I know). Anyway, I know you got a peek at what I wore for Christmas, but thought I would show you the whole outfit. It's actually a skirt and top, the skirt also comes in maroon, which I contemplated getting instead, but thought I would get more use out of a long black skirt.

In case you are wondering, I'm wearing this adhesive bra. I love it way more than a regular strapless bra, mostly because I'm not having to tug it up all night long, me and regular strapless bras do not get along! If you are bigger chested then this one will work better for you.
Random fact: The lady in the picture wearing this skirt looks like a midi...haha, not on this shorty.
I actually did my hair as well, I was watching the second season of Fuller House and Stephanie had this really cool hair do, but when I tried to figure it out I couldn't so it morphed into this. Which I think is actually pretty perfect for this outfit.
What are you wearing in your closet? Next week I'm taking the style prompt to heart and wearing something I previously never would have put together, but ended up totally loving it. Now go check out your closets and put together a completely new outfit and post it down below or next week!
Today I'm linking up with Mel, Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday. I like looking back on these, especially since it's the same questions each month, click here for the past ones (okay just one other one, but it's something)
What we're eating this week:
Like last time I wrote, Mr. and I were on the slow carb diet, while I decided it wasn't all for me we have been sort of keeping up with it. I used to eat carbs with every meal, not I try to limit it to once a day. Which is huge for me. Right now, we're doing bowls, meat, beans, guacamole, and salsa and call it a day. It's awesome to make a huge batch on Sunday and have several meals ready to go.
What I'm Reminiscing About:
How little Baby Fox was when he started preschool last year. I can't believe he's starting his last year of preschool and then we're going to be in Kindergarten. Time really does fly by. Here's part of his performance from Friday, too cute for words. His partner was shy, but stood there the whole time with him while he sang his heart out.
What I'm Loving:
Silly pictures like this one.
The fact that this Everything Bagel has stuff on both sides, genius and why doesn't everyone do this! Get on board bagel places.
That I live so close to the ocean and get to see it almost every week.
What We've Been Up To:
Celebrating love.
Celebrating new life
Celebrating births
What I'm Dreading:
Mr. is leaving for a business trip for 7 days...wish me luck! I'm going to need it!
What I'm Working On:
Mini Fox's birthday party coming up in September. I just ordered the invites. Does anyone else do snail mail invites or is it just me?
What I'm Excited About:
All the birthday parties, the baptisms and see old friends
What I'm Watching/Reading:
Summer TV is sort of dismal, so we've been hopping around Netflix and HBO go. The one show we do love that is actually a summer show is Graceland on USA. You should check it out. Starting watching True Detective on HBO but it's sort of intense so we don't watch that all the time.
I'm reading the first book in the Gentleman Bastard series. Only 40 pages in and so far so good.
What I'm Listening To:
Baby Fox is really into this Imagine Dragons song, and I really like it too, so it works out when we listen to it on repeat in the car.
What I'm Wearing:
I wore this to the wedding I went to on Saturday. I found this dress at White House Black Market and as soon as I saw it I knew that it had to be mine. The fact that it was on sale for $59 was just icing on the cake, and it's still available in all sizes. I also love how the heels are goldish and really works well with the outfit.
I absolutely adore that this dress has pockets, selling point in my opinion.
Butt shot
What I'm Doing This Weekend:
We are up to our ears in parties. No joke. We have 4 parties to attend, 3 of them are on Sunday!!! It's a tough job but someone has to do it :-) Plus I'm going to see a college friend and her family on Friday, I haven't seen them in almost a year...I'm so excited to spend the day with them, and then again on Wednesday.
What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month:
I'm getting Mr.'s 5S iPhone , he's getting upgraded at work, so I get his old, but new to me phone. I can't believe it was only 18 months ago that I was getting my very first smart phone. I'm so excited, for two reason, 1) I'm getting an iPhone upgrade in about a week, and 2) in 18 short months I'll be getting Mr.s' 6+ iPhone. So awesome
What Else Is New:
Not much, you pretty much know everything :) Anything new with you?
Bonus Question: What I'll Miss Most About Summer:
I'm going to miss the long days and swimming after work. Okay, watching everyone else swim and me sitting in the shade.
I wish I had gotten better pictures before leaving for my night out on Saturday. But I didn't so...moving on. Why do I look so short?! Anyway, besides all of that, I love this dress, it's so fun and a great little black dress to own. My mom found it at Nordstroms Rack.
Why does my head look so big?
Hey I actually look normal here, although I've taken the windy through my hair to the extreme. Okay maybe it's not me, it's the weather.
Some randoms:
I think I'm getting sick, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, please say it isn't so. Now I'm not sure if I should go to the gym tonight, but I know me, I probably will and then spend the next three days getting over the fact that I pushed my body to far. Gotta get my workout in, gotta get R.I.P.P.E.D.
My allergy shots are ready...I'm scared to start, mostly because it's such a time commitment...yikes! But at least there is an end in sight...like 6-7 months from now.
This girl loves her some princess clothes. She's all about Princess this and princess that. Monday my parents bought her a Sofia the First dress, she immediately put it on and then stood on this box and started twirling...if that doesn't say girl, I don't know what would!
No princess would be complete without some pink monster teeth right?
Come back tomorrow to see our Saturday Vlog and maybe half a video on how to do my make up (I started filming it and ran out of disk space, oops! I have since bought a 32GB disk at Costco, should never happen again, EVER. I hope).
