Fall Favorite Party Dresses

Happy Wednesday Friends! Today is the last day The Blended Blog ladies and I are linking up for Favorite Fall Finds. Today I'm sharing this dress, I bought it because it was cheap and I needed to get to free shipping, isn't that how we end up getting so many things, we probably don't need, but I'll be darned if I pay for shipping! Anyway, I was skeptical at first, but you know what, I just love it, I don't have any backless dresses, and this dress is one that just makes you feel like a girl, ya know?

I just love the back of the dress, at first I wasn't sure, but after I had it on for a few minutes, I was feeling more comfortable.

For those wondering I was also wearing this, but this one looks good too...I hear that this one is a cheaper option, and just as good. I want to try it, just haven't gotten around to buying it yet, okay I take that back, I just stopped writing this post and bought it. haha. Now I just need a party to wear this to...I am doing a MNO next week, perhaps I'll wear it there, just because.

I had wanted to do this to my hair for a while, just hadn't found the occasion to do it, it's basically two French braids and then I did a bun at the bottom, I wanted it to be more off centered, more behind my ear, but I guess that will just have to be for next time.

The lipstick is the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit in Spice, I'm seriously obsessed people.

Here are some other options I found, that are fun and flirty for a Holiday party.

Fall Staple - Scarves

Happy Hump Day Foxy Fashion Friends! Today is the last week of The Blended Blog October Style Series.

I just love scarves, they instantly spruce up an outfit and the best part no more jewelry is needed.

You guys I think I am one braided crown away from mastering the braided crown. I finally got the other side, I was good until I got to the opposite side and going back up my head...I always got confused which piece needed to do what...it had to be documented, so I took a picture. These were taken just after getting home from work, so 13 hours later and still looking good.

Some other scarves that I'm eying for the Fall and winter months. I love multi color scarves because it can go with so many outfits with a ton of different colors for completely different looks.

And now onto the silly part of the program...I decided randomly to try a stop motion video...not sure why, it's less than 5 seconds, the last part got cut off when uploading to Vimeo, but you get the idea. Now to think of something fun and then a thousand pictures...for 30 seconds of video.

Cold Shoulder Outfit + Co-Hosting!

Hello Foxy Friends! If you're coming over from Jill or Carrie's blog welcome to my little space! Get to know me here: cliff notes version, I'm a mommy to a boy, dubbed on this space Baby Fox (5.5 almost 6, sniff, sniff) and a girl, Mini Fox (3). I love planning parties and attempting DIY projects (my current obsession is wreaths), I'm also trying to learning about fashion, accessorizing and trying to learn all things hair and make-up, thanks for stopping by!

Can you believe that I just bought my first cold shoulder blouse? I've been trying to find one that I like, but I just couldn't find anything, until now! I found this on Shein, I'm so happy that I decided to give them a try. The clothes were better quality than I thought they would be, have you tried them yet?

For those of you that don't know, I have been doing a hair challenge all year, where I try to do my hair each week. Lately I've been having trouble finding inspiration, but this one is one of my go to styles.

It's a simple twist, and bobby pinned to the back of my head. Sometimes I try to hide them under my hair, but I felt like I wanted them to show this time.

 

It makes you look put together and in reality your hair is just pulled back out of your face.

Do you have a go to hair style? Thanks for stopping by! Now get to linking up!

What I Wore - Dreamer Shirt and Shorts

Happy humpday Foxy Friends. It's our last week of What I Wore series before we start up our October Fall Series, but don't worry, we'll still continue to do our link up each week. We love seeing what you all have been wearing lately! So link away.

Over where I live, we are knee deep in 100° weather, like where did this come from? We've had a pretty mild summer, so I can't complain, but these temps are killing me. For whatever reason, I haven't worn these shorts yet this year, why? I have no idea, they are super comfortable. I wasn't sure what to pair it with, but while perusing my closet was drawn to my Dream shirt. It's slightly see through, so I paired it with my favorite Target Tank*.

Have you tried Colourpop yet? I just got a few colors and have only worn it this one time, this is the Ultra Glossy Lip (Honey B)*.  So far this is what I know, it goes on smooth and it's clumpy or sticky like some lipglosses are. I'll keep you posted how I like them.

I decided since we were headed out to dinner to show you how I typically have been doing my hair on first day wash. A couple of months ago I saw Carylee from More Pieces Of Me show us how she typically does her day each day for a week. I just loved her day 1 hair and have been repeating it ever since. I used to just go straight back with my hair, but I love how hers is off to the side, so I have been doing that, daily on the repeat, because #hairrut.

What have you been wearing lately? Next week, The Blended Blog is styling some Fall Sweaters, join in on the prompt if you have some fun fall sweaters to share!

Styled By Someone Else

Hello Foxy Friends! If you're here from The Blended Blog, welcome! Today I have something really fun, over on TBB we all decided that it would be fun to let the people around us help us get dressed. So here I am asking the people around me to dress me.

The first person up was Mini Fox. When I do my outfit posts (if she is awake), she will typically be at my side watching my every move, asking me what make-up I'm wearing. When I told her that she could dress me and anything in my closest, I think she thought I was joking at first and then jumped at the chance so fast your head would spin. Her main criteria...to wear a princess dress...I am short of those in my closet, but she found this stripe/floral print that she absolutely loves and always asks me to wear it. I asked her how I should do my hair, what accessories and what color lipstick I should wear. This is the outfit she came up with.

 Mini Fox wanted to jump into some pictures with me. We just happen to match.

The next person I ask was Baby Fox, he woke up early on morning as I was getting dressed and he wondered into my room and I told him he could pick out anything for me to wear and I would wear it all that day. He was super excited as he perused my closet, thinking of what he should pick out. He pretty much picked this out super quick. I even asked him what shoes and he did get a bunch of my shoes out and eventually picked out the pink converse. I was hesitant at first, but you know what, at Kindergarten drop off I got a compliment on my shoe choice...apparently a 5 year old knows his shoes. He also said no make up

7 For All Mankind Shorts*  | Pink Converse*

Next up was Mr. At first he picked out this super inappropriate outfit...think Britney Spears "Baby One More Time" video. In my defense I keep that skirt becuase it was one of the first outfits I wore when I met Mr., I really just keep it for memories, not for actually wearing. And yes he tried to pair it with the top that I met him in...again something I would NEVER wear now...think backless. Anyway, Mr. wanted to mix patterns. This is the outfit he came up with. Again he picked out the lipstick color.

My sister happened to be at my house on Saturday picking Baby Fox up so I asked her to dress me. She was having Mini Fox help her and guess what Mini Fox picked? Yep the same exact dress, I asked her to dress me 3 weeks ago...she's consistent. So I told my sister to try again and she picked out this outfit. She had some trouble with the shoes, since she doesn't really know my closet, but she picked out my leopard heels and I have to admit I like it...

Mini Fox wanted in on the photos too.

Dress is from Lulu's (similar) | Shoes are from Nordstrom (similar*)
