Denim on Denim

Now that I am done for the time being doing Alison's Style Challenge . I need some style motivation rather then going back to my old ways, okay not old, old ways, but wearing the same thing over and over again. So I'm taking a page out of the Sheaffer, Shay, and Mel handbook and I'm going to get Pin-spired.

This is what I found, I thought I have similar things in my closet, I can do this, and it's super cute too.

I don't have black skinny jeans, but I do have some really dark wash skinny jeans. They'll have to do. For work I added a black blazer and I have to say, it looks great with a black blazer as well! I'm absolutely loving this outfit and I never would have put it together, I'm scared of denim on denim...but no more...

Yep this was taking on Sunday and there are flowers blooming back there. We had about 1 week of cold weather and it's back up to the mid 70°

Here are some random pictures I found on my phone:

I convinced Mr. to go to a workout class with me. I was so happy to have in class with me. So much better working out with someone then by yourself. Proof that he actually took a class.

This was from our play date on Friday, but somehow I missed it, but she thought she could get in the walker by herself...turns out not.

The last couple of days Baby Fox said that he never gets to feed Mini Fox, so the last two days he has, and I'm pretty sure my heart melted into a puddle of goo when I saw these pictures.

I told the kids to clean up their mess (you can't even see the floor), and instead they threw all the toys out of the toy chest and got in. Silly kids!

Week 4 of the Winter Style Challenge

We skipped posting this last week and I don't think anyone else is posting their outfits, but here mine are, the last week of the Style Me Challenge: Winter Edition.  If you want to see the other challenges, here they are Spring Style Challenge, Summer Style Challenge and the Fall Style Challenge.

Here is week 1, week 2, and week 3of the Winter Challenge. And finally week 4.

Looking at these picture, apparently I really like putting both hands on my hips, must change that, LOL. Anyways, here's the break down for ya!

Day 17

I love this scarf, but no matter how many times I adjust, it just never lays the way I want it to. I tried so many times to get it just right, but in the end, it did what it wanted, oh well! This sweater is the most comfortable thing you'll ever wear, you need to get it, seriously! They have it in black too!

I had to laugh when I saw this picture, I think I was getting ready for the picture and I must have pushed the shutter on the remote without realizing it? I think I was tossing my hair over my shoulder...but it looks like I'm snapping my fingers, which is funny because I don't know how to snap.
See the remote in my other hand? haha..

Day 18

I probably never would have put these pants with wedge boots, I'm not sure why, but I really like this outfit. It's simple and looks put together. I think I need to add a scarf or statement necklace, but overall I liked this outfit.

Long Sleeve Tee- Target, Pants - Old Navy (old), Sweater - White House Black Market, Wedges - Target (old)

Day 19

This outfit wasn't my favorite. I like the tunic and the scarf, and I like the pants, but not sure how I feel about them together. I feel like it makes me look bulky...did that make sense?

Tunic - Nordstorms (old), Jeans - Loft (old), Black Heels - Cathy Jean (old), Scarf - Nordstroms (sold out)

Day 20

Time for some dressy outfits. I would have never in a million years thought of a plaid shirt as being fancy. But I love this outfit! The patterned tights, takes this outfit up a notch.

Plaid Shirt - Wet Seal (sold out), Skirt - Nordstroms (old), Tights - Target (old), Heels - Cathy Jean (old)

Day 21

Sweater - White House Black Market (old), Pants - Loft (old), Heels - Cathy Jean (old)

All in all I think I did a pretty good job shopping my closet. The only thing I bought was that fur scarf, that thing is so soft and comfy! And at $12 who can beat that?! Other then that everything else was already in my closet. I am so proud of myself for not going over board like I usually do. I finally have a good wardrobe, now it's all about maintenance.  But a few things here and there. I think this year is going to be the year of make-up. Trying out what works best for me...wish me luck!

Week 3 of Winter Challenge Outfits

Back for week 3 of the Style Me Challenge: Winter Edition.  Here are my Spring Style Challenge, Summer Style Challenge and the Fall Style Challenge if you want to see what else I've done. Here is week 1 and week 2.

Like last week I was shopping my closet. I actually found an outfit that I never would have put together if I hadn't been shopping my closet, so thank you Alison for that!

So here are this weeks outfits:

Day 10

We were supposed to use a Fair Isle sweater with this one, but I don't have one, so I made do with this striped version. Plus it's been sort of hot here lately, so I figured a light weight cardigan was good enough.

Day 11

I've worn this combo so many times, but never thought to add a plaid scarf, I think it looks fantastic and will definitely be a go to when it starts to get a little colder around here. Rumor has it the high next week is 56° brrrr.... (cue eye roll from half of the world)

Day 12

My statement necklace isn't much of a statement necklace, but I like that is big but subtle, did that make sense?

P.S. those heels hurt! They are my we're doing to a long sit down dinner heels, if you know what I mean.

Day 13 - Dressy Outfit #2

Dressy Outfit number two, called for a fancy sweater, like I said last week, there is some sparkle to this shirt, you just can't see it. I added the belt and the necklace, since my shirt was "plain". I really like it.

What happens when your spouse goes on a business trip and you have a remote and a camera and all the time in the world.

Too bad the ornament was cut out, darn!

Day 14

I haven't gotten nearly as much use out of this red plaid scarf as I should! I seriously need to wear it more...or the weather needs to get a bit colder so I don't look like a weirdo wearing a scarf.

Day 15

I just changed out the pants and the shoes on this one and completely changes the outfit so much. I think I like this look a little better then Day 11 though. What do you think?

Day 16

One of my favorite outfits of the week. Maybe because I really like this sweater, it's the softest thing EVER! Let's just pretend those are jeans down there, okay? They were dirty when I was taking pictures, darn.
