A Twist On The Little Black Dress

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.

By purchasing through Foxy's Domestic Side, you're helping me to continue creating fun things for this space.

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!

Flowy Skirt and Hair Challenge Week 31

Hello Foxy Fashion Friends! Today I'm back with another look with one of my favorite skirts, click here for how I styled it last month. This time I'm styling it with my favorite jean vest.

I just love how flowy this skirt is and how you can dress it up or down depending on your accessories.

I did my hair super easy, just braided and tied back.

This week I actually did my hair! Amazing...

I saw Carylee do this to her first day hair, and I liked it so much better than just putting it back. I liked that it had a little swoop to the side.

I saw this pony tail on Cute Girls Hairstyles and thought this would be perfect for a hot day at LEGOLAND.  Although seeing myself in some picture I should have loosened it a bit up top so I don't look like alien head...oh well, at least it was off my back.

Monday I had 3rd day hair so I need to braid it back a little, boy I look tired.

Tuesday, now it was 4th day hair, so I threw it up into a half top knot, this is quickly becoming my favorite hair style. I got the tutorial from Ellie.

That's it for the week. I hope you join along with us for our summer series, Pick, Pair, Share! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Pick, Pair, Share and Hair Challenge Week 27

Happy Wednesday! Hard coming back after a 5 day break. We had a blast going to my cousins to spend the 4th. More on that on Friday. We ended Create 28 last week, click here for the full recap on The Blended Blog.  Today we are introducing a fun summer casual challenge, Pick, Pair, Share, easy as that. Pick one from each category and have fun, #theblendedblogstyle on social media.

 

I decided with black, polka dot skirt. I actually bought this skirt off of Kiss Me Darling when I saw this skirt on her blog I was jealous and then a year or so later she was selling it, SOLD! So excited that I got it. Her pictures are gorgeous:

 

 

 

Here is how I styled it.

 

This skirt is seriously so comfy and light weight, perfect for summer.

I did my hair super easy, half up styles are my favorite.

 

Onto my hair styles this week...

Friday I had a day off, so I had time to do my hair before taking Baby Fox to school.

Sunday I went to my cousins to hang out, and didn't know that she was having a party! Like we showed up and her house was all decorated and I was like what's going on? She's like I thought you knew 30 people are coming over for a pre 4th celebration! I was like, say what?! But it was super fun. I hadn't done my hair, but knowing people were coming, my hair felt naked, so I threw it up in some braids just as people were getting there.


These pictures were taken around 11pm, all tired and watching Batman Vs. Superman, which I really liked and I think the poor reviews are bogus.

Tuesday I had a day date with Mr. We both ditched worked and had the day together, going to breakfast, shopping and a movie, it was great!

Now let's see what you have been styling this week! Remember to tag #theblendedblogstyle if you decide to pick, pair, share!

That Time I Tried an Outfit Selfie and Failed

My wireless remote broke for my camera, I tried to just click the shutter and run into place, but I can't seem to get anything in focus. My house is a mess and I have no where to take a picture right now...so I decided today is going to be the first selfie outfit post. I think I totally failed, you be the judge.

I really dislike it getting dark so early now. I leave for work at 5am and get home at 5pm, it's dark. So outfit posts aren't happening outside right now. I need to take them inside somewhere, but the lighting in my bathroom is horrible. I bring our lap from our bedroom in...it makes the lighting even more weird. I realize that all these pictures are slightly blurry too, because there wasn't much light, the flash didn't work and I need a new plan for outfit posts.

Anyway, enough complaining. This outfit I threw together in 5 seconds flat. I didn't have to think about it, I just threw it on and walked out the door. Which is much needed because I want all the sleep I can get, so I need something quick and easy.

This is the scarf I got from the scarf exchange I did with my girlfriends

I should have just used the DSLR camera and gotten slightly blurry photos, since that's how these turned out because of the low light and shaky hands.

I was playing around with some fake eyelashes, I actually bought these (Ardell 204) for our family photo shoot, but decided they were just too long and went with a different pair (a Japanese pair from Daiso, everything in there is a $1.50, it's awesome).. I finally got them to work and by work I mean I wasn't a fumbling mess and actually got them to stick to my skin. So instead of putting on eye make up I put on these babies and it totally looks like I did my make up...sort of.

I look like a deer in headlights in this one. So see my hair? I tried a no heat curl, and it totally worked! It was super easy, and even though I was running late yesterday, I just took the twisted braid out, combed my fingers through and I was done 30 seconds later. EASY! This was after a full 12 hours of having it in. When I first took them out my hair was a bit poofy, but it relaxed and I am loving how easy it is. They are slighly tighter waves than when I use the curling wand, but super simple and something to do so my hair isn't stick straight. Plus it gives my hair a break from the flat iron I use everyday. Yes I use one everyday, because I have some awesome bedhead.

I actually didn't end up taking my jacket off yesterday, but I really like how simple but put together this outfit is.

Moral of this post, I will not be taking any more outfit selfies. I look like a deer in headlights and my bathroom lights are less than desirable.

Fingers Crossed, Please, Please, Please Work!

First things first...I dropped my phone in a cup of water...I was driving and thought I was putting it in the empty cup holder, clearly I didn't...I'm so sad and I hope the rice thing works...keeping fingers crossed. Okay now that's out of the way, let's get to the outfits!

Last week of the  Summer Style Me with Alison,  here's week 1, week 2 and week 3. I'm sad to see it go, but with me working 5 days a week, it was really me subbing every outfit, but gave me some good work outfits to wear. Like day 17, I like day 17 this round. Hey looking at all the pictures, what's up with day 19? The wrong arm is bent, apparently I have a stance...and Day 19 I got it all wrong.

I know you're dying for the break down so here we go:

Day 17

This is seriously the most comfy sweater ever, I want it in every color, is that weird? OH and they're on sale now, only $25...darn it I paid full price!

Striped Tee - Target, Jeans - Loft (old), Sweater - Nordstroms (Currently on sale!), Wedges- Nordstroms (currently unavailable, but might come back, so keep checking), Earrings - Target

Day 18

This is sort of like outfit from Day 1 except I am wearing flats and a necklace, but it totally changes the feel of the outfit. I was slightly cold when I left for work so I threw on the jean jacket (JJA I tell ya.

Pink Jeans - White House Black Market (old), Shirt - Target, Jean Jacket - Old Navy, Sandals - Target (old), Necklace - Jane.com

Day 19

Happy Independence Day! This is what I wore to our Fourth of July Party. Let me tell you about this top. I was getting party supplies for Baby Fox's Half Birthday and Ross was right next to door to Party City. Hey I've never been in a Ross so I quickly went in. Now I remember why I avoid these stores, not because they don't have great deals, but because there is just SO Much that I feel overwhelmed and then walk out...is that strange? Anyway I didn't have anything to wear for the 4th, but saw this and while it was a size I don't normally wear, it fit perfect, I think it was meant to be.

Wait for it...the back is awesome isn't it?

Day 20

Maxi Skirt = Pajama Bottoms...don't you agree? I love wearing it because it feels like I am wearing comfy clothes, add a tee shirt, simple necklace and a fedora, makes for a pretty awesome outfit. Will definitely be repeating this one! Especially with all of my newly acquired maxi skirts.

Day 21

Last day, sniff sniff. It was ridiculously hot, think 95° so I opted to wear shorts instead of the palazzo pants. Sorry for the super wrinkly shorts, this is the end of the day, and we had been in the car a lot.

Shirt - Nordstroms, Shorts - Loft, Shoes - Toms (on sale!), Necklace - Jane.com

I loved the summer challenge, while I didn't get to wear all of the pieces and still haven't found a black maxi that looks good on me, it was fun to get to know the other challenge ladies. Speaking of which go check some of them out, they're all pretty awesome.
