Style Perspectives: T-shirt, Jeans, Statement Necklace and Hair Challenge Week 15

Hello Foxy Fashion Friends. Yet another week of the Style Perspectives with The Blended Blog! I am loving seeing everyone style the prompts and meeting new people through the link up! Keep 'em coming!

 

Christy's style prompt was a Jeans, Tee, Cardi and a statement necklace...so sounds like her! She has some great jewelry. I bought this sweater at Target when it was on clearance...I thought hey it's a bright orange sweater, why not? I have not worn it since...but you know what? For the sake of the wear everything in my closet challenge I decided to just try it on for these pictures. Expecting to totally hate it. But the opposite happened, I totally loved it and I'm actually wearing it today (I took these pictures over the weekend) to work. That's saying something.

 

 

As for my hair, I did this Stacked Fish tail + Dutch Braid.

 

 

 

I think it turned out great!

 

 

 

In case you missed it last week, everyone styled a Spring Sweater, Jeans and Flats. This is how everyone styled it.

 

 

 

Now to the hair challenge week 15! So I was super lazy last week and only did my hair on the weekend...I know, lazy me.

 

Monday I just threw my hair up in a simple rubber band, something I've actually never done before...so that counts right?

 

Saturday I was trying out my new hair twisty thing (full review coming soon), and got this hair style.

So cute right?

Sunday we were off to the flower fields and I tried this style. I think it turned out pretty good, although I need to get the ponytail a little more behind my back, so it doesn't do that mushroom head thing.

And maybe try a few more rubber bands as well. Next time.

 

 

Tuesday I had clean hair which mean no fancy braids (too hard to style when freshly washed), so I did  a simple twist.

 

 

Now go check out how everyone else styled their look!

 

Join us next week for Style Perspectives, the theme is: Graphic T-shirts

Weekend Recap

Hello Foxy Friends! Today is a short week, I'm headed to Vegas with some fellow Blended Blog ladies for a blogger conference. I'm so stinkin' excited and nervous at the same time. I just hope and pray I'm not all awkward...

I had Friday off so I made a follow up doctor appointment for my ankle...more scar issue stuff, boo. But hopefully in the next few weeks it will be better. Fingers crossed. I picked up Mini Fox from my parents who had decided to have a tea party with every animal they own.

 Then I picked up Baby Fox from school and we met up with my sister and mom for lunch.

Baby Fox had his first Crepe...he liked them...so Deena when we come visit get out your crepe making pan :)

Mr. was still gone so after naps we took a quick bath and I took the kids to get a movie from the Red Box and pick up a few things from the grocery store. But first some posing in the chip isle.

The kids wanted to snuggle up and watch their Lego movie.

Baby Fox wanted to sing Mini Fox her night time hush little baby song.

 

Mr. got home safe and sound and the kids could not have been more excited...

 

Saturday

 

We went to what I would equate to the NFL draft...what you might ask it was? Yea the lottery for my trying to get my kid into school...crazy I tell ya. We didn't get in, but hey it's okay, we have other options...and bottom line eventually he's going to learn right? Seriously...this was the lottery drawing...

 

 

Then we hit up the mall to pick up the pre-sale Star Wars I bought a while ago. Of course the Disney Store had a cool presentation/interactive thing for the kids.

 

 

Mini Fox got her first lesson in wearing in your shoes...poor thing.

 

 

 These three watched some of the Star Wars movie and made popcorn while I was at the grocery store. Sneaky people.

 

 

Sunday while I was getting ready, these guys did some snuggling.

 

 

We headed to the flower fields and had the best time. We thought it was going to rain, but went anyway, and as soon as we got there the sun can out and it was gorgeous! Come back on Thursday to see the rest of the pictures for the Picture Perfect Project!

 

 

We got a really late lunch at In and Out and guess what? I actually got to eat the bun, and I didn't get sick! Woo hoo!

 

 

They were getting a little tired...

 

So we headed home for naps and then had dinner at my parents, which I forgot to take pictures of, oops! But we had a great weekend. I can't wait for you to see all of the flower field pictures!

Friday Favorites #64

Happy Friday! Today is my day off, yay! Mr. comes home today, double yay! But here is what I've been loving this week!

In case you missed it this week

Monday: March in Numbers with the Lovely Deena

Tuesday: 10 Things I Learned about Intentionally Wearing my Closet

Wednesday: Style Perspectives with Lana's Prompt of Spring Sweater, Jeans and Flats and My Hair Challenge Week 14

Thursday: Country Crock Review

 

 Since I didn't do a recap this week I figured I would do one now. It was a favorite since I last wrote about my favorites. Picture heavy so if you don't like cute adorable pictures of my kids just go ahead and skip to #3 :)

 

Friday we did a family trip to Costco to pick up some stuff and a pizza for dinner. Which I ate and didn't get sick, woo hoo! Seriously this girl...can se take a serious picture ever?

 

 

Saturday

 

Mini Fox and I headed to a Bridal shower, while the boys headed to the movies and Chuck E. Cheese.

 

She can smile normal!

 

Oh wait...there it is.

 

I was in charge of making the ribbon bouquet, I think it turned out pretty good.

So excited for this lovely lady.

 

After we got back, Mr. and I headed out to a movie (yep Mr. saw two movies in one day) and to dinner for our 11 year anniversary, I can't believe we've been married for 11 years! If you want to see our wedding video, click here.

 

But before we left I caught this cute moment of the kids dancing. It's blurry, but it's just so sweet.

 

 

We saw London Has Fallen, the sequel to  Olympus Has Fallen, we liked both movies. Action flicks that are someone unbelievable...but hey we go with it.

 

 

Sunday this girl earned her way to a purple scooter, she was over the mood excited, can you tell?

 

After church and naps we headed over to a Korean BBQ place for dinner with friends.

During the week, I got a couple of workouts it...oh and I just found out that our gym has free wifi...what?! I can now watch Netflix while running...you better believe I watched 2 episodes of Fuller House while running :) Well besides to take this photo, I was watching, hehe.

We got to facetime with this guy every night. What did we do before facetime? Seriously...so much better seeing a face with a voice.

 

 

I'm fairly certain this girl gets better lunches than me.

 

 

 

She was spying on the neighbors...girl after my own heart...I mean...did I say that out loud?

 

 

 

So I continued on with my wear everything in my closet quest. I forgot to take a selfie of my outfit on Sunday, but I did do some outfit posts, so that's why you see one in non selfie form. Oh and I worked from home a few days and that just makes me lazy...so you get bare feet pictures, because that's what I really wore.

 

 

 

 

Susannah from Simple Moments Stick is featuring one of my Spring Outfits along with some other wonderful ladies, go check out how everyone is being inspired by spring!

 

 

 

 

I saw this pop up on my FB newsfeed...I am so stinkin' excited you have NO IDEA...anyone else?

 

Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a great weekend! We had plans to go the flower fields this weekend, but there is a 90% change of rain on Saturday, so that plan is out, darn. What are you up to?
