Feathers and Flowers

I've had this skirt from Loft for a while now, but have never paired it like this before. I'm not entirely sure the scarf goes, but it was comfy and I didn't feel like wearing a necklace, ever feel like that? But I like how the skirt seems like polka dots from afar, but in reality they are little feathers (or what looks like feathers?)

Today is the second to last day to sign up* for the Fall Style Challenge, come join me and 600+ women. Learn more about it here.

We're all set for Halloween at our house, okay we have the outfits and no decorations, but the cute outfits are what counts right?

I love that they are matching. I was going to get Mini Fox a pink pair, but Baby Fox insisted that they match.

Finally Mr. is on board with online shopping ~~obsession, habit~~ love. This makes me so excited, he finally understands. He's been buying a ton of polo shirts trying to figure out a brand that fits him. We've found a few new brands to add to the list, he says that shopping online and getting that little email that says your package is on the way, is like Christmas everyday. Yes he's been getting packages almost everyday.

Love taking him on errands and letting him do stuff like this. He loves it and it gets him to go with me on errands. It's really sad, this mall we went to is in the process of getting a make over, but first they need to get rid of a lot of the tenants, so half of the stores are closed and there hasn't been a food court since we moved here 5 years ago. Hopefully whatever/whenever they upgrade it, it makes this place awesome, it's so close to our we could walk...although right now, there aren't any of my stores in it that I shop at, so I guess that's a good thing.

Such a boy, going the hard way in - through the window of course.

Taylor & Helene are doing a Blogtober14, while I can't promise I can do it everyday...I will participate when I can.

Today's prompt: If I'd won the lottery I would...I'm going to go ahead and assume it's in the millions, like take home of at least 10 million (you know after those pesky taxes and stuff I want at least 10 million), hehe

Pay off our house
Put money away for our kids college fund
Get new cars
Travel the world...once the kids get a little older (hey I'm realistic), traveling across the world with a 4 year old and 1 year old? No thanks, plus they're not going to remember, we have to at least start doing this cool stuff when they can remember
In the mean time, we'll just go to Hawaii, and go skiing/snowboarding in cool places. I want to snowboard at Whistler, ski in/ski out lodging a must, obviously.
But some rental properties, might as well have our money make money for us.
Quit my job, but still keep our daycare situation :)
Since I don't have a job, find a philanthropy that speaks to my heart.

What would you do with 10 million?

I Can Officially Say I have Lots of Color in My Closet

In case you're new Alison decided to do a Summer Style Me and of course I jumped on board. Here's my first two outfits. Now on to the second week of outfits.

I was really bad at getting pictures this week. I wore the outfits, but things happened and I didn't get details photos of all the outfits. Maybe this week...anyway, here's the breakdown for ya.

Day 3

You know I think I need to go the Jean Jacket Anonymous (JJA), seriously, it's my new go to jacket and I wonder, what the heck did I do before I bought these 3 months ago?!

Shirt - Old Navy (on Clearance), Skirt - Loft (super mega old), Jean Jacket - Old Navy, Shoes - Nordstroms, necklace - Jane.com (Stella and Dot Kimberly Necklace knockoff)

And then Mr. took one of my prepping my outfit before the shoot began.

Day 4

Wow the camera angle makes me look like I have mega short legs...oh wait, I do. I was going for a casual look, it was my first time wearing non work out tennis shoes, I sort of love them. I think I might need to get the real thing, instead of the Target version.

I also think the rubber band around my wrist adds something to the outfit don't you?


Tee Shirt - Target, Pants - Old Navy (Similar), Shoes - Target (On clearance right now for $11.88), Scarf - Groopdealz

Day 5

These are my first pair of jean shorts since I was probably in Junior High...crazy right? I have no idea why I avoided them? I guess I'm khaki/white shorts type of girl? Sort of loving this whole outfit.

Shirt - Nordstroms, Shorts - Target, Sandals - Target (not available), Braclets - Forever 21 (old), Earrings - Groopdealz

Day 6

i took Baby Fox to a birthday party at a museum, and then right after we went to dinner at a friends, so I forgot to take an outfit post, but it was a pretty simple outfit.

Shirt - Target, Shorts - Target, Shoes - Target, Purse - DSW on clearance (yes I realize it doesn't match)

Day 7

Again we went out to dinner with my family and took some quick pictures with my iPhone outside of the restaurant.

Tank - Target, Skirt - Target, Sweater - Target, Shoes - Target (not available). Talk about walking ad for Target

Gotta love the post baby new hair growth

Baby Fox wanted to pose with me

Day 8

White Tee - Target, Boyfriend Jeans - Old Navy, Sweater - Nordstroms, Shoes - Toms (similar), Necklace - Jane.com

Day 9

Once again I need JJA - But it was cold when I left for work, what else is a girl to do by put one her trusty JJ?

Top - Old Navy (Old), Pink Jeans - White House Black Market (old), Jean Jacket - Old Navy, Shoes - Norstroms, Belt - Target, Necklace - Groopdealz

Loving this color comb!

So excited, on Friday I'm getting my haircut, don't think I'll short, I think I just want a trim, get rid of some of these spit ends. Last time I went to get my hair cut was just before Mini Fox was born so it's been at least 10 months, it's about time right?!

How often do you get your hair cut?

Once or twice a year (if I'm lucky and remember to make an appointment. When my hair is short I go in more regular to get maintenance done, but when it's long it's easy to just forget about it)

A Post Full of Firsts

We're on to week 2 of The Challenge. So far I'm having so much fun doing this, so thank you Alison for getting me out of my comfort zone and giving me easy outfits that I just have to grab in the morning and don't really have to think much about it.

In case you missed the first 2 days, click here. Now onto this weeks outfits.

Day 3:

This is the first time I've ever worn boyfriend jeans. I was really skeptical about them, but bought them from Old Navy for less than $20, so I figured I wasn't wasting too much money if I didn't like them, but turns out I really do! I thought they would make me look super short, but I don't think they do. What do you think?

Boyfriend Jeans - Old Navy, Bright Tank - Target, Sweater - Target, Shoes - Nordstroms, Necklace - Old, but they are everywhere

Most comfortable wedges EVER! Go get a pair right now! She told me too, so I had to listen.

Day 4

I think this one was the most out of my comfort zone. I mean a striped jacket and my first time wearing a chambray shirt? In the same outfit? I never would have thought to pair this together. Perhaps it was the 4:30am wake up time that in my delirious state I had a stroke of genius or I grabbed the wrong thing, either way I think it worked really well.

Pink Jeans - White House Black Market (Fall Clearance), Shirt - Target, Jacket - Target, Shoes - DSW (old), Scarf - Old Navy

Day 5

I thought this outfit was ultra comfy and great for a Friday casual work day (oops I'm writing this at work, and apparently I picked a picture with my eyes closed, oops!)

Skinny Jeans - Loft (these are curvy jeans, they are the best!), T-Shirt - Target, Sweater - Target, Shoes - Toms (similar), Bracelet and Necklace - Francesca's Collection (old)

Day 6

I love maxi skirts I think this might be my go-to outfit from now on...super comfortable and you look put together.

Bright Tank - Target, Skirt - Nordstroms, Cropped Jean Jacket - Old Navy, Shoes - Nordstroms (no longer available in this color), Necklace - Old, Bracelets (old)

Thought I would add a cute picture of Mini Fox

Day 7

I think this might be one of my favorites. I love how the cuff of the shirt is rolled over the sweater and the blue necklace, adds just the right amount of statement.

Boyfriend Jeans - Old Navy, Top - Target, Sweater - Target, Shoes - Toms (similar), Necklace - Forever 21 (old), Bracelet - Brighton

Day 8

I think this was my least favorite of this week. Only because I couldn't find accessories that made me feel like this was my own. I was in a rush in the morning and couldn't find anything to offset the pretty teal color of the shirt. In other news, this was the first time that I rolled a pair of jeans that weren't the boyfriend jeans that were rolled for me. And it was my first time wearing my leopard flats.

Skinny Jeans - Loft, Shirt - Target, Shoes - DSW (No longer available), Necklace - Loft (old)

Baby Fox wanted in with me

Baby Fox wanted to help me take selfies, Mr. wasn't home when I wanted to take these pictures.

See him holding the remote?

Day 9

I thought this outfit was super fun to wear. Maybe next time I'll wear my leopard flats.

White Jeans - Loft, Bright Tank - Target, Cropped Jean Jacket - Target, Shoes - Nordstroms, Scarf - Old Navy

This challenge is definitely pushing me to do things I wouldn't have done on my own, leopard flats (actually my hookerish shoes, I have had them for over 6 years and have worn them once), boyfriend jeans, rolling my jeans, Chambray shirts, jean jackets with jeans, striped blazers with a chambray shirt, the list goes on. I'm excited to see where these outfits take me next!

I had some random stuff to tell you, but the post is getting mega long, so I'll save them for another day :) Hopefully I don't forget them in the mean time!
