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.

Now go check out some other hot ladies to see their take on the same outfits!

I Missed My Calling!

Happy Monday! Only 3 more days until Christmas and Baby Fox turning 4! What?! I can't believe how fast time has flown. Anyway...I had a 4 day weekend, well today counts as day 4. We're setting up the tables for Christmas. Oh did I tell you guys I'm hosting Christmas this year? 14 adults and 5 kids, yikes! So we're trying to set up as much as possible.

On to weekend shenanigans. Friday Baby Fox had school and Mr. took Mini Fox to a work lunch, so I had the morning to myself! It was amazing, I went shopping and then met up with my Mom for lunch.

After picking up Baby Fox from school he wanted to go to the park, who am I to deny him?

He made this at school today.

And then wanted to eat it.

Friday night we went to this house with some friends. We went two years ago (technically we went last year too, but didn't take any pictures?) and this year they stepped it up a notch big time!

We took this picture, then realized, hey we should probaby turn around, but this picture turned out the best...

The house lights up, and plays to music, they have hot apply cider and fresh donuts for everyone that comes.

While waiting in line, they had some entertainment, in their courtyard...

These were the guys making the donuts...so good!

The inside (yes they let people inside):

Yes that first picture is of an upside down Christmas Tree!

then we headed to get some dinner, it was a little late, but that's okay when you're with friends right?

Saturday the kids wanted to play outside, they got really muddy. But had a blast.

She doesn't need a door, this is how all the cool kids do it

After getting all muddy we decided to give the kids a bath, and then pj's all day :)

Saturday night we went to a Christmas party. And guess what I discovered? I missed my calling, I rock at flip cup! We played 4 times, and I got the flip on the 1st time every time except 1 when I got it on the second time.

Fun night, can't wait for next year!

Sunday Mini Fox and I had some errands to do, but before we went we all went to the park. Baby Fox is rocking the monkey bars. Sorry my very loud cheer at the end.
