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!

Easter Weekend

I guess you can say that our Easter started on Friday when my brother and Sister-in-law drove out from Vegas. My sister-in-law made some yummy treats - see that cute little fox box? It has little cookies that said "Little Fox" on them. We take this Fox stuff seriously.

My dad's birthday was last week, he had a track meet (he's a tracker starter) on his actual birthday, so we celebrated dinner with all of his kids and grandkids on Friday, he was in heaven. Since it was Friday, we had shrimp for dinner, it was YUMMY!

Saturday we went to Whole foods and got some sandwiches and went to "The Top of the World" to go hiking. Those cute little Beagles are Charley and Molly

View of the ocean, you can't really tell, but that's the ocean out there.

That's my cousin's little boy's Flat Stanly, he went with us

Yep my brother and Baby Fox are wearing the The Shirt. 

Mr. went down the hill

I went back up, I think I got the raw end of the deal, although I did volunteer, gotta get bathing suit ready right?

Later that night we made the kids Easter baskets, the baskets and liners are from Pottery Barn

Mini Fox got some puffs, two little baby toys and a pair of PJ's, Baby Fox got a set of 50 self inking stamps (these are amazing, you have to get your kids some!), the movie Super Buddies, some PJ's, chocolate gold coins and some Peeps (what's Easter without those)

Sunday morning we woke up and went to church

Then came home and surprise the Easter Bunny has shown up! He even left an Easter basket on the table!

Family shot - Brother and SIL went to her parents for Easter

Now time for The HUNT!

He couldn't wait to tear into the eggs, this is his first starburst

Then we tried to take pictures, but he was still chewing on his starburst, oops!

Then we headed to my aunt and uncles for dinner. Here's my cousin, he's #8 of 12 cousins

Him and his wife just announced that they're pregnant! Due late October! Looks like a natural huh?

Cousin #1 with wife and daughter, let's call her Cutie #7 of 8 for now...he's my cousin who produces Black List, if you haven't seen it, go watch it, it's AMAZING!!!!!

 

Even though we're all grown up, we still have a "kids" table

 

from left to right: Cousin #9 fiance, Sister, Baby Fox, Mr., Cousin #9, Cousin #8, Cousin #8 wife

Cutie #7 and me

Yep I changed my dress to something a little more casual. Wish I had taken a full length picture.

It was a great weekend with family. Next weekend the girl cousins are getting together for a little spa day to celebrate cousin #9's engagement.

We got home late on Sunday, but it was worth it! I should have taken more pictures, but I was having such a good time with family.
