Skirt (Similar)/ Shirt (similar) / Shoes (similar)

Confession: While trying to find a skirt similar to the one I have on, I found one...and then bought it myself, because it also comes in black and white polka dots...I had to, for $18, add to cart!

Also linking up with Anne from Anne In Residence and her monthly "currently" where she gives you the topics to talk about. This time her cohost is Lowanda of Sunshine and Elephants and the topic is  celebrating, watching, welcoming, preparing, and photographing.

Currently we are:

Celebrating

Mini Fox! I can't believe she's 4 already! When did that happen? Wasn't it just yesterday that she looked like this?

Watching

Several things, just finished Game of Thrones. Currently at this moment we're watching Dark Matter, which is about 6 people who wake up on a space ship and don't know who they are or how they got there.
 

 

We're also just picked up Beyond, which is pretty good, although we're only 3 episodes in, but it's about a kid who was in a coma for 12 years and wakes up to people wanting to get him and him figuring out where he was the last 12 years and trying to get those memories back.

Welcoming

A new cousin into the family. Curtis's cousin is getting married weekend after next, excited to see them get married and and celebrate their marriage. Plus my Mother-In-Law and Brother-In-Law are coming into town to celebrate too, so we'll get a few days with them.


Preparing

For Mini Fox's birthday party. Do you sense a theme here? My life revolves around it. I tried to use my new Cricut the other night and totally failed miserably, and am on such a time crunch, don't have time to figure it out, so I pulled out my old one and got the job done. Today I'm buying the food and ordering some more food and trying to get my ducks in a row so I can actually enjoy our day out on Saturday.

Photographing

We went out to Julian to go apple picking last weekend, see #2 above, and had a blast! I actually brought my big camera and took all of the pictures. So much fun. This one was my favorite, and I took it on my iphone...

What Up Wednesday

Happy Wednesday Foxy Friends! It's another weekly link up with The Blended Blog. Today I'm sharing my leather jacket that I got 2 Christmas's ago, and you know what? I haven't really worn it because the weather had been so nice, but we're actually getting something called a winter now, so I thought I would break it out. It is the softest thing in the whole world, now I just need to find places to wear it. Last weeks polka dot top was so popular that I thought I would share my other polka dot top. Two polka dot tops in a row for the win.  If you can't tell my shoes are polka dot too. Funny story about the shoes, they're actually Jessica Simpson and I saw them several years ago, but the last pair they had had a smudge on them, and I didn't want to pay all that money for a smudge shoe, so I said no and thought I can find them again...fast forward a YEAR later and I finally found them again! I snatched them up so fast.

 

 

It's the last Wednesday of the month and I finally remembered to link up with Shay, Mel and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday. Let's get started.



What we're eating this week:

Pot Roast! I'm all about my Instant Pot (affiliate link), you should be too! I was able to make this plus the mashed potatoes all in 2 hours! Instead of the normal 3.5-4 hours. It's nice to be able to make this after work, mid week comfort food is where it's at with this cold weather. Oh and the gravy is the bomb.com! So good, I could eat it by the truck load.

What I'm reminiscing about:

This little lady. She's starting preschool next week...waaahhh!!! How did she get old enough to be in preschool?

What I'm loving:

With my food allergies I hadn't been able to drink wine, I know! Right?! Anyway, after my allergy shots I am now finally able to drink wine. I haven't done any reds yet, but this white wine is soooooo darn good! It's from Costco and it's sweet and tastes oh so good. Notice how there isn't many in the container at Costco? Yep it's that good.

What we've been up to:

Trying to clean the house, seriously it's a mess in here, but I have a plan.

What I'm dreading:

Mini Fox starting school next week, she's so darn excited which is great, but it just seems like the start to the never ending school. No more are the day when we do nothing and have no where to go during the day. She actually starts school 40 minutes before Baby Fox.

What I'm working on:

Cleaning the house. Do you see a pattern here? I'm trying to organize, organize, organize. Next up is this cabinet...

What I'm excited about:

My weekend away with my bestie! It's been FOREVER and it's just the two of us and we're going to have a blast!

What I'm watching/reading:

Well I bought The Magnolia Story...but haven't read it yet, but I'm going to.

Watching The OA and 3%, both are on Netflix and you have to watch both, so good!

What I'm listening to:

Lot's of YouTube...my favorites at the moment. Seriously there are so many amazing artist on YouTube! You find anyone recently?

What I'm wearing:

See above, but here is a better shot of those shoes. I have no idea what I'm doing in this picture, well it was about to rain, so maybe a it might rain, let's get this done picture?

What I'm doing this weekend:

Hanging with the bestie. Provided that Mr. feels better...poor guy, he's not doing so good and it's day 3...

What I'm looking forward to next month:      

Utah! Mr. and I are headed to Park City to hit the slopes sans kids and it's going to be so fun! The last time we went was prior to Mini Fox being born, so it's been a while,  I hope I remember how to snowboard! Apparently I can't find any pictures of us, this must change. Although, I think we mostly leave everything behind because it's close to 0° and we think it's too cold for the electronics.

So what have you been up to lately?

Style Me Spring 2015 Challenge - Outfits 10 Thru 16

Hey, Hey! I'm back with the ladies, recapping our outfits for this past week. Click here for the previous outfits. First, the winner for the Nordstroms gift card giveaway was Darcy Lynn! Congrats! Don't forget to enter my $100 giveaway going on right now! Here are outfits from day 10 through day 16.

Day 10


I love white pants. I know they're not always practical, but I just love them. They go with almost anything, and just look so classy. How do you feel about white pants?

Day 11


Striped dress, super comfy and casual, but looks totally put together. Especially when you add a statement necklace to it. I do have to say that I need to get more comfortable bright flats, these are so uncomfortable! I wore them to work and ended up having to change into my emergency shoes (you know you all have a pair at work, and if you don't you should!)

Day 12


I FINALLY ordered some camo pants, but I'm waiting for them to come in the mail, really hoping that they work out. But until then, I've substituted them for some bright pants. I have a ladder necklace on, but for whatever reason you can barely see it. I still have problems tying my chambray, perhaps I have the wrong kind? What kind of chambrays do you have, and do you find it easy to tie?

My little photo bomber!

Day 13


This might be my go to outfit for the summer, white pants (if you don't have a pair, you need to go get some!), grey tee and a bright sweater. Oh hey guess what? I found a grey slouchy tee (they don't have grey anymore, but they have teal and it's comfy too, I know this because I bought it too, haha), so excited to try it on. I haven't worn it yet with an outfit, but it's washed and on a hanger in my closet.

Day 14


A different striped dress, I thought I would change it up, Mr. wasn't so sure about this, and quite frankly either am I. I think the scarf might be a little too much. Especially with the 90° we're getting right now.

Photobomer...

Day 15


I have to admit, this outfit called for some camo pants, but I substituted my bright pants and then I thought, it's a little hot, let's just do this polka dot shirt and I love this combo. I don't think I would have ever put this together, and I'm not entirely sure why not. I added a really simple necklace I got from Loft (currently only  $18).

Day 16


Mr really wasn't sure about this outfit, and I wasn't either, but now looking at the pictures, I sort of like it. It works, not my favorite at all, but nice combo to throw together.

I just love this skirt so much!

Mr.'s butt picture...LOL
