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 ChallengeSummer 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.

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!

Beach Family Photos


It's only 2 weeks late, but here are the rest of our family photos we took this year. I'm absolutely in love with them, and not entirely sure how we're going to do anything better next year! I guess I have a year to figure it out. I was thinking of doing them at a train station next year...Any suggestions for outfits?

Here's the one we used for our Christmas card


These were the ones we were considering:




These are the ones we used for the back of the card:





Then there were about 325 others that were all great pictures too. Here are some of them:

Mini Fox decided that she didn't want to cooperate and smile...ever. No wait, we did get one smile and that was before the photoshoot started and we were waiting for the photographer to show up.

I thought all was good, and that she was going to be smily all day, nope, this was one of the only smiles she gave us








She's playing Peek-a-Boo



Serious...yea right!



So sweet


And then he licked me!




Some water pictures











 Totally soaked!



Baby Fox had a blast running through the water and kept wanting to go again and again. I think a very successful photo shoot. I love that we get them done every year and I can watch as the kids grow each year...

In case you wanted to know, this is what we looked like last year. Mini Fox was only 3 months old!
