Olive Pants and a Moto Jacket

Hello Foxy Friends! This month the ladies over at The Blended Blog are hosting a series called Fashion Files, where we find some inspiration and then recreate that look. This week I was randomly looking around Pinterst to find some inspiration and found this outfit. I thought, I have everything for this outfit in my closet. So here she is, I image her being in France, walking across the street to get some coffee.

Here is my version, not quite as stylish, but hey it works for me...yep using that same jacket as last week. I can't get enough of it I guess. For some reason I couldn't narrow the pictures down this week, so you get all of them.

That hair on my forehead, arg. Don't you hate when that happens, so annoying.

Op, there it is again, why won't you go away?!

Hey look, my eyes, just for a brief second.

Thank you Mr. for letting me steal your sunglasses for this post. And when I say steal, I really mean commandeer because I haven't given them back. I think they look better on me anyway. If you look closely in my sunglasses you can see my tripod set up and a pool. Every time I set it up I think...please don't fall into the pool with the camera...I have fallen in the pool while doing outfit posts...man clothes weigh a lot.

 

Hey there are my eyes again. 

I decided to do my hair in a casual ponytail thing, like the model. I'm fairly certain she spent a lot of time getting her pony to look so effortless...mine looked like a hot mess, but what are you going to do? Continue to take outfit pictures and hope for the best.

 

I took this one because the model isn't smiling either, but then thought, naw that isn't me.

So I took this one immediately after...much better.

 

Just in case you can't remember my full eyes, here there are.

Fashion Files Jean Vest

Happy Wednesday Foxy Friends! Today is the first Wednesday in May which means the ladies over at The Blended Blog are starting a new series called Fashion Files. Where you find an outfit that you want to recreate or gives you some inspiration and style that.

I decided for my first look I decided to try and find something to style my jean vest with. I've really only styled it twice, here and  here.

I went to pinterest and found this pin. I thought, I have all that stuff, I can do that.

I put it together...and I'm thinking I might need to get a longer vest. It's just not quite there for me. Sometimes you win at outfits and sometimes you don't. Perhaps I need to grow 6 inches...

This is the shirt that I got in Vegas when I went to the blogging conference with The Blended Blog ladies.

I just discovered Anne from  Anne In Residence and she hosts a monthly currently where she gives you the topics to talk about. This month her guest host is Nancy of NY Foodie Family and the questions are:

Baking: Sadly nothing. I did make some chocolate chip cookies the other day for a work friend who I accidently prevented him from going to his birthday lunch, so to make up for it I made him cookies. All was forgiven...actually it was just a bonus for him, he was never that upset to begin with.
 
Listening: I don't have much time to listen to the radio now and days, but I'm loving this guy on YouTube.

These guys are putting out a lot of content, loving this version of this song.

Loving:
Just discovering the boomerang app. I know I'm the last to jump on board, but it's so fun! Expect some more posts about this app.







Remembering:

Last April and meeting up with some of The Blended Blog ladies in Vegas and being so excited that I finally get to hug them again in 16 days. We've only been planning this since our last trip together...13.5 long months!

Thanks for continuing to link up with us! You are what is making this successful. Keep posting and meeting new people!

Fall Challenge - Final Outfits

Last week of Alison's Style Challenge* 5 more outfits coming at ya. I got a lot of good ideas from this round of the style challenge. Happy that I decided to participate in it, I wasn't going to, but I couldn't resist! So let's get to it.

 

Day 17

 

This outfit called for a grey cable sweater over the whole thing, but I don't have one and it's WAY too hot to wear one, even during the winter months here, so I added a leopard belt to tie it together.

 

Day 18

This outfit called for an orange sweater and I remembered that I had an orange-ish cardigan, so I opted to put a white tank under it with my oversized plaid scarf. I tried to wear it two ways, which do you like best? I think I like it the first way better, with the little triangle.

Day 19

 

This outfit called for a printed blouse, so I used my polka dot one and then added this cute cardigan. I think I added the cardigan because without the outfit looked pretty boring.

 

 

 Day 20

 

My favorite dress*! Styled yet another way...I think this might be my favorite outfit of the whole Fall Challenge. Loving the big belt and the boots, now come on weather get cold so I can wear this!

 

 

Day 21

 

I bought this jacket last season on mega-sale at Target...I haven't worn it yet, but I'm loving this jacket with the pants. Such a great combo! I think it would have looked better with some leopard wedges instead, but it was still a very comfy, put together outfit.

 

 

Sorry all the pictures are a bit blurry, I don't know what happened, they all seemed to be in focus when I took the pictures...I really hate when that happens, don't you? Boo! Did you participate in the Fall Challenge? What was your favorite outfit that you wore?

Fall Challenge - Week 2

Hello all! 2nd week of the Style Challenge*, and I'm back with 7 more outfits. Well 5 plus 2 outfits that I would have worn had I had the chance. So let's get to it. Here are the outfits at a glance.

Let's break it down:

Day 3

I'm absolutely loving this outfit, but it's just a bit too hot to wear right now, but hey a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, outfits must be put together! I actually followed the outfit formula, unlike Day 1 and 2.  But I will definitely be pulling this one out come colder weather.

Day 4

Love this outfit too! Can we talk about these jeans? I got them during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, so they are no longer available but these* and these* are very similar. They are the most comfortable jeans! They don't pinch at the waist and are the softest jean material ever! I would wear them everyday if that was socially acceptable. I would however, order a size down. I ordered my size and a few hours later I'm finding that I'm hiking up my jeans.

I only have two blazer, one is black and the other one is bright blue, but neither one really worked with this outfit, so I decided to switch it up to my pink leather jacket that I got from Wilson's Leather at the Camarillo Outlet Mall a few years ago. If you can go to a Wilson's Leather at an outlet great deals! I think I bought this jacket for $40!

This little lady wanted to jump in the picture...okay that's a lie she was trying to photo bomb and I scooped her up and tried to get her to take a picture with me. I have a feeling this is what our family photos are going to be like in a couple of weeks, lots of bribery!

Day 5

Loving this* white button down that I bought. Seriously if you have been looking for a white button down look no further! This shirt is worth every single penny, it's a little more than I would normally spend, but it's so soft and doesn't feel still like other buttons downs. I actually want to wear this, instead of just wearing something just to wear it.

I didn't follow the outfit formula again. I don't have a gray cable knit sweater yet, not sure if I am going to get one since I would probably rarely wear it over this white shirt, too hot! But that could be the 100° weather talking, come back in a few months.

So instead of adding the sweater over it, I just added this scarf. I really love the plaid in this scarf, and for the life of me can't remember where I got it.

Day 6

I ordered some olive jeans* (super comfy and on sale for $24.99! The olive color in person is much darker than online), but they hadn't come in the mail yet, so I subbed out for my Camo Jeans. Loving this outfit and will definitely repeat as it gets colder. If you don't have a pair of wedge booties, you have to get a pair! These were from Target a while back and were really reasonable. One day I'll buy the Toms version, but for now, my knockoffs will do.

Day 7

I absolutely love this plaid dress*. When Alison told us a plaid dress would be involved I wasn't sure if I was going to get one. I know that I'm not a red plaid dress girl, but found this black and white one and it's right up my ally.

Not totally sure if I can get away with the length, definitely not with the kids around, but for sure a great night out with the girls or the hubby.

Day 8

This is when I didn't have time to take pictures with the outfits on. So I put together a picture of what I would have worn. I'm actually surprised, I'm not sure I would have paired the olive jeans with that polka dot sweat, but I think it looks great! Apparently the olive jeans like to photograph a little lighter than they are in person, or maybe I need to get my eyes checked, either way this outfit looks great!

In case you were wondering, the outfit formula called for an orange sweater, which I don't have, I've been subbing in this polka dot one and it seems to be working with all of the outfit choices so far.

Day 9

Again I didn't have time to take a photo of this outfit, but I am LOVING my new burgundy jeans (which of course they don't have in stock any more), they are super soft and I can't wait to wear them.

I did sub out the riding boots for these flats, since most likely I wouldn't have worn my riding boots with them. I'm not sure why, but in my head it just didn't make sense. The outfit calls for the grey cable sweater over it, to me that makes more sense to wear the riding boots, but with just the button down, I didn't think so.

There you have it, 7 more outfits brought to you by Alison! Which was your favorite?
