Style Me Spring 2015 Challenge - Outfits 10 Thru 16


Hey, Hey! I'm back with the ladies, recapping our outfits for this past week. Click here for the previous outfits. First, the winner for the Nordstroms gift card giveaway was Darcy Lynn! Congrats! Don't forget to enter my $100 giveaway going on right now! Here are outfits from day 10 through day 16.




Day 10


I love white pants. I know they're not always practical, but I just love them. They go with almost anything, and just look so classy. How do you feel about white pants?








Day 11


Striped dress, super comfy and casual, but looks totally put together. Especially when you add a statement necklace to it. I do have to say that I need to get more comfortable bright flats, these are so uncomfortable! I wore them to work and ended up having to change into my emergency shoes (you know you all have a pair at work, and if you don't you should!)






Day 12


I FINALLY ordered some camo pants, but I'm waiting for them to come in the mail, really hoping that they work out. But until then, I've substituted them for some bright pants. I have a ladder necklace on, but for whatever reason you can barely see it. I still have problems tying my chambray, perhaps I have the wrong kind? What kind of chambrays do you have, and do you find it easy to tie?





My little photo bomber!



Day 13


This might be my go to outfit for the summer, white pants (if you don't have a pair, you need to go get some!), grey tee and a bright sweater. Oh hey guess what? I found a grey slouchy tee (they don't have grey anymore, but they have teal and it's comfy too, I know this because I bought it too, haha), so excited to try it on. I haven't worn it yet with an outfit, but it's washed and on a hanger in my closet.





Day 14


A different striped dress, I thought I would change it up, Mr. wasn't so sure about this, and quite frankly either am I. I think the scarf might be a little too much. Especially with the 90° we're getting right now.






Photobomer...




Day 15


I have to admit, this outfit called for some camo pants, but I substituted my bright pants and then I thought, it's a little hot, let's just do this polka dot shirt and I love this combo. I don't think I would have ever put this together, and I'm not entirely sure why not. I added a really simple necklace I got from Loft (currently only  $18).








Day 16


Mr really wasn't sure about this outfit, and I wasn't either, but now looking at the pictures, I sort of like it. It works, not my favorite at all, but nice combo to throw together.



I just love this skirt so much!






Mr.'s butt picture...LOL

Favorite Accessories

 Andrea from Momfessionals asked us what our favorite accessories are, when she asks I answer.

I answered a similar question almost a year ago, and you know what, it hasn't changed much. I think my favorite accessory I own is my teal statement necklace. I wear it ALL THE TIME. It's funny because when I bought it I didn't think I would wear it often, but it turns out it's my go to accessory. My proof.

Wow my hair was really short in that upper left photo, I sort of miss it...No, have to stop thinking that! Must grow hair long, I like long hair, I've been waiting for this...long hair...
If I had to chose a second accessory I think I would have to go with purses. I don't post my outfits with purses and I don't often buy new ones, but I love them. Mr. just bought me three Coach purses for our anniversary, nothing says 10 years of marriage like 3 Coach purses, haha!


The kids favorite accessory? Their star sunglasses (bought from the dollar bin at Target)...no joke we've had these things for years and they keep making their way onto the kids faces, haha.

3 Parties 1 Day


Hello Monday! Monday is always hard to come back to, especially after a 3 day weekend. But we had a great weekend, as always.

Thursday I FINALLY got to see Cinderella! My mom is the best movie watching partner. She loves watching chick flicks with me. I'm so excited for when Mini Fox is older and can join us in our love for chick flicks. I just know she's going to love them too.

Just before the movie started, we both LOVED it, btw.


Took another picture outside the lobby, since the first one was so dark.


Then I went home and watch Grey's Anatomy with Mr...did you watch it? I'm sure you've all heard what happened. I was ugly crying people, like UGLY crying. I just couldn't help it, after watching this for 10 years, through the good and bad, I was ugly crying...I'm feeling so sad still. Why do I feel like this for a fictional character?! Anyone else with me? Please say you feel me on this...on another note, Mr. thought I was crazy and said, you better cry more for me when I die, that's all I have to say, haha.

Friday I took Baby Fox to school and did some errands with Mini Fox, of course I didn't take pictures, was too busy trying to get it all done before I had to pick up Baby Fox from school. I did however, fit in a picture getting ready to eat some breakfast. Love that she's smiling for pictures now...yay!


After we went and got him from school we went to Costco to pick up some stuff, Mini Fox insisted on holding my hand AND Baby Fox's hands, it was so cute.


They are so cute together


Friday night, waiting for dinner...some light reading.

She's reading, On the Night You Were Born
 After dinner treat. She insists on doing everything herself these days. Including yogurt, the OCD in me, cringes, but I know she has to figure it out eventually...





All those pictures were taken over the course of a minute. I love how expressive she is.

Saturday, my usual morning hike. I wasn't able to workout all week due to being sick, so it was nice to finally be able to get out and get some exercise!


Hiking crew, not as big as last week, but just as fun.


I had a baby shower to go to, so I got home and got the crew up and fed and then I was out the door.

Raspberry fingers, is there really any other way to eat them?


Sister trying to figure it out too



Just before I left, she wanted her brother's monster truck hat and the star sunglasses. I think she wears it well.

Daddy always picks out cute outfits
 Mama to be, her daughter, my sister and me


The shower was at a restaurant but the hostess brought in all the linens, flowers, etc. It was so pretty and so much fun!



Afterwards we hung out a bit before heading to our next party...I love this picture of my sister and me.


Mean while, Mr. and the kids went over to our neighbors house for a party they were throwing, Mini Fox loving her shaved ice, yum!




After the shower Mr. drove the kids out to meet up with us to go to the last party of the day! A house warming/birthday party. The kids second bounce house of the day, they are going to think that every place we go should have a bounce house.


They have the coolest play house. It was the previous owners workshop, so it's insulated and had air conditioning...how cool is that?!

The birthday girl made those cake pops, so cute!



And they had a popcorn machine, Baby Fox thought it was the coolest thing EVER!


Birthday girl and her hubby


Sunday was really low key, so much so these are the only pictures I took. Church followed by swim lessons.


The boys getting to jump in for swimming well.


Great weekend, so sad that it's a 5 day work week, boo! I wish every weekend could be a 3 day weekend, but then I would have to work 10 hour days...that's no fun.

What was your favorite part of the weekend?
