Holiday Attire

Hi Foxy Friends! Wow, it's been a lot of late nights trying to take advantage of Shutterfly's Cyber Monday sales..which they extended till yesterday. So I did our Christmas cards, made a whole calendar and made a 101 page book for my parents, phew! Full confession, 60% of the book was done before I started on Tuesday. Okay, back to the post. It's Vanessa's pick, so head on over to her blog, or The Blended Blog to link up your fashion posts!

If you have been around for a while you know my love affair with tulle skirts. I've been wanting to get a full length tulle skirt and one day I just bought one, and I found it of all places on Amazon! It's way too long on me, need to cut it, I'm going to attempt it myself, but didn't have time before I took these pictures. So I think with it being a little shorter and a little steam it would get rid of the wrinkles. But I'm in love, and can't wait to wear it!

Skirt / Shirt / Heels (not that you can see them)

I love this skirt, even though Mr. is just eh about it. He thinks it's too poofy, I say, no such thing! I mean for uner $40 you can't really beat it. If you have ever wanted to get a tulle skirt, try this one. The tulle is not scratchy, it's lined on the inside, and if you're tall, this will work for you, I'm going to have to trim quite a bit.

Funny when you are wearing something so poofy, if I laid my arms down straight, it made the skirt look weird, so I'm actually holding my arms out about 6" or so....I felt like one of those dancers that don't ever put their arms down straight...you know what I'm talking about.

Let's talk about the shirt now. How perfect is it for Christmas? It didn't end up staying up, which was a disappointment. So I've ordered another shirt, but this one would also work, as it seems the other one is almost out of sizes.

Lipstick color is Lipsense Candy Cane, I have a full video on their new Holiday Collection over on my YouTube channel. Go check it out.

Here is what that other shirt looked like, it was perfect for the gala that we were going to, add chunky necklace and you have yourself a gorgeous low cost outfit.

Alright that's all I have for now. I know the prompts are done, but don't worry, we have a whole new set of prompts for you! We decided instead of doing specific things, we were going to give you a category and you can interrupt however you want. That way it gets your creative juices flowing! Speaking of creative juices, I have another outfit all planned for this skirt, so stay tune for that...now which category will it fit into...I'm thinking December 12th, cause tulle makes me happy.

Softest Striped Sweater Ever

Hi Foxy Friends! Today I'm sharing with The Blended Blog a Stripes and Plaid look. Okay just a stripes look because I decided a bit ago, that plaid was not for me. I mean I've tried it here, here and here, but I never grab them, so I got rid of them, I have a few scarves, but again, not cold enough here to wear them. So just stripes it is.

I recently got this sweater from Jessica, who has a small clothing business, called Sweetly Striped.  I'd like to note, she has no idea I am writing this, I have not been paid and have not gotten any free product, I just really like to support small businesses.

Sweater / Jeans (on sale!) / Boots (similar)

She hosts a live each week, showcasing all of the new stuff she's gotten that week. Plus if you are a part of her FB group, then you get first dibs on the new stuff coming in. Trust me, I waited till the next day and my size sold out, darn it! Since she is a small business, she can only get so many of each size and usually doesn't restock. So definitely get on it when you see something you like! I got a striped long cardigan on Monday, not yet on the site! So join her site so you can get in on the stuff before it goes on the web. I mean how cute is this sweater?

This sweater is so darn comfortable, I want to wear it all the time. She has another one that is similar, but different colors, go check that one out and see if she still has your size! Looks like she only has it posted in her facebook group, and it hasn't made it's way to the website yet. So join her facebook group so you can get in on the product before it hits the website.

Now go link up your stripes and plaid fashion posts over on the Blended Blog, and take a look at these lovely ladies too.

Favorite Jeans and Camo Look

Hi Foxy Friends! Happy Wednesday, it's my last day of work this week, woo hoo! I'm headed off to a girls weekend to meet up with some of the ladies from The Blended Blog. Last time we were together was in Toronto, and we had such a blast. We decided that it wasn't enough time together, so this time we're spending Thursday through Tuesday together, woo hoo!

Today the theme of the week is favorite jeans. I just bought these jeans at the nordstrom anniversary sale and I'm loving them! So soft and a great price too!

Jeans / Shirt / Vest / Boots (similar)

I am loving this shirt so much too. I recently bought it when I was out returning stuff to Nordstrom. Of course I was walking past this and it was practically calling my name and jumping out at me. I grabbed it as I was walking by, tried it on and didn't care that it was full price. That's how soft it is!

I added a vest to keep my torso warm during this fall season we're having. It's slightly cooler (meaning low 60's) in the morning, so this is a perfect addition to the outfit.

Make Up: Foundation / Eye Shadow/ EyeLashes / Blush / Eyeliner / Eyeliner for cat eye  / translucent powder/ Lipstick is Lipsense (Nude Pink, Bella, Nude Pink)

Then in the late morning, I can take the vest off and still have a super cute outfit.

My necklace is from BEXO, she has the cutest jewelry EVER! Her moon necklaces are to die for. I have it in black, which it looks like she doesn't have any more.

What are your favorite jeans lately? I'm also loving this burgundy pair of jeans.

Wednesday: Fall Booties
Thursday: Sentence A Day

I also posted to my YouTube channel this week. 10 Beauty Tips for Beginners.

Mini Fox started her first gymnastics class last week. Prior she was just doing a preschool class, so there was no real structure, really just playing on the equipment. Now she's in a class and learning stuff. In the two weeks she's gone, she's learned how to do a cartwheel. She sort of knew how to do it before, but now it actually looks like one.

She is the bendy one in the middle with the pink leo on, belly completely on the ground.

Bridge, she's the one on the far left.

We've had a change in who watches the kids this year, so Mr. has been taking the kids to school. I love getting all of the pictures before school. Quick game of Left Right Center before school.

Mr. is now in charge of doing her hair every morning. It's a learning curve, but he's doing pretty good at it.

She wanted chips and quac for dinner the privous night, but she had already brushed her teeth, so Mr. said should could have it for breakfast...she didn't forget.

Climbing on pillars before school.

Saturday was pretty much a mommy and Mini Fox day. We hit up Target, where of course we had to try on all of the costumes. She puts it on and says, take my picture.

This one cracks me up.

Then I asked if she wanted to go to the grocery store or Costco, because I could get what we needed at either place..she picked Costco, because samples...duh. She takes her samples seriously.

Then we headed out to a birthday party.

Then the mall...where ever we go she always seems to find dogs and they all LOVE her.

Then we hit up Sephora...on my IG stories, I showed you how Sephora had this app that you could try on make up with, it was super accurate and awesome...in case you missed it...

Then Mini Fox had to try it out...hilarious...but I had trouble getting her away from it...I'm going to be in some seriously trouble! Yep it even puts winged liner and lashes on you, it's crazy cool! You have to go check it out. I didn't try or see that there were other options to choose from, hard to do anyting with a 5 year old wanting to try it too.

Then some totally random things from the week...I decided I was going to be on a hard boiled egg breakfast kick...this one I got two yolks..crazy and delicious.

Wednesday was unoffically Nation Mean Girls Day...so I whipped up this shirt to wear to the gym on Tuesday for Wednesday.

Last night I had to line the fields for Mini Fox's soccer game on Saturday...not sure why they want it done on a Thursday, but I rolled with it. Super easy, I thought it was going to be all hard and complicated so I made my Dad go with me...he was late and I figured it out...then we just chatted while me and the kids lined the fields.

Mini Fox had her last swim lesson and this was Baby Fox's bored face. In case you are wondering, my shirt says "Everything Hurts and I'm Dying"

So what are you up to this weekend? We're going to see my cousin play in the Washington/UCLA game. I hope he gets to play! See you on Monday with TBB Monday question Self Care. Link up with us!
