BRIGHT colors + Oxfords by antlersandrosesblog featuring green tank tops

If you know me in real life, you would know that I basically wear black with every outfit. It's my go to safe color. I don't know why but I just feel comfortable in it. But with out looking completely "goth" I try to bring in color to brighten up my outfits. When I saw these tanks at Target, I knew I had to have them! I love that they are on the longer side and flow out a bit to hide unmentionable areas. They are just fun!
I also now have a slight obsession with oxfords! I bought 3 pairs at one time! I couldn't pass up the $10 clearance price!  I wore the leopard oxfords and pink tank this last weekend to my sister's Bridal Dress fitting, and I got so many compliment on just the shoes alone! I love how loud and crazy the print is! And the bright pink soles are pretty FAB too!!

Well you guessed it, this entire outfit is also from Target!

While I was taking these photos, I decided I should take some new pictures to use for my blog profile.  I feel oober awkward taking pictures of myself as it is...and well things got a little weird. Then some little people joined in!

AZTEC inspire by antlersandrosesblog featuring a long knit cardigan

This Aztec Look was not something I thought I would ever wear. But after awhile, the look completely grew on me, and I kind of fell in love with it! Tried to pull it into my own style so I still felt like me. Definitely a fun print to wear and can wither be dressed up or down with the right pieces.

I know what you are thinking... "White pants!?"

I have been obsessing over this trend for a while now. But with hesitation for the obvious reasons.

The moment you buy these crisp white beauties, the inevitable is bound to happen at some point.

But why live in fear...of ketchup, wine, sticky-dirty baby hands, and well, Aunty Flow!

I have to say, I am smitten!

I don't know why I waited so long.

I felt like after I had my first baby, I completely lost who I was and my sense of style.

 Gave up those fun tops and slim pants for slouchy clothes to hide behind, thinking maybe I could just go unseen. While I still love my slouchy clothes to lounge around the house, dressing like the old me feels good again. And I feel like my "new style" has become a more mature version of my "old style", still the same just a little more refined!

Date Night

Hubby took me on a much needed date, with 2 kids it doesn't happen that often.

FM McClintock's Steak House || Sea Bass & Margarita

Cold Stones Ice Cream || Cookie Doughn't You Want Some

Loads of Laughs and ridiculous dancing on the ride home (mostly from me; Locked Out of Heaven)

Upside:

Hubby & I got some great quality time together & didn't make one spill on my beloved white jeans

Downside:

I did get a blister on my heel...Will be investing in some of those heel-pad inserts & a gnarly headache-hangover the next day (And that was from only ONE Margarita, definitely can't hang).

Time to see the FAVES and NOT SO FAVE

First off, my TOP dress of the night!!

This dress is beyond GORG! My jaw literally fell to the floor and eyes bulged out!!

Michelle Dockery completely stole the show with this dress I think!!

Most definitely Best Dressed!

Here are the rest of my FAVE dresses of the night

Lovely White {or some White}

Shimmer & Sparkle

Nude.Coral.Orange

Blue Hues

Beautiful Burgundy

Sexy

Black & Gold

And with the FAVES comes the NOT SO FAVE

Most of these picks for me were based on with either the dress didn't seem to fit them right or was either too OLD LOOKING or YOUNG LOOKING for them.

Regardless, there were a lot of great dresses tonight!!

Ok, to bed I go!

recently from.... target

I decided to start sharing all my fun shopping finds with you!! 

Recently From...

Whether it's from a weekly trip to Target or random online shopping spree.

I thought this would be a fun way to share all the trendy items I find, on sale or not.

Sometimes I look for that "for-less" look if I don't want to dish out a lot of cash on that expensive item. Cause lets face it, those fun, costly items we use to splurge on become a distant dream when you have kids!

But I still like to look fashion forward, now I just try and do it with out too much guilt..

So here is my recent trip to target.... Not pictured are baby wipes and diaper cream!

I am DYING over these scarves!! I just happen to randomly look down and the green feather one caught my eye! I love that they are on the longer side so you can wrap them a few times and they are super soft! I also couldn't pass the grey one up, I am assuming they are X's, but I see crosses too...

This was my FAVE find!! If you would have told me when I was 16 that in 10 years I would LOVE gold jewelry, I would have told you that you're NUTS! Yes, I disliked like anything gold. It could have been the most gorgeous piece of jewelry too, and I would have completely frowned upon it! I have to admit too, at one point and time I didn't like diamonds either!! WTH right!! 

Now I seriously LOVE gold! When I came across these bangles for $4, said a big "HECK YES!" and tossed those babies in the cart! Now I was just telling my mom the other day how gold watches are totally in right now and that I having been wanting to get the Nixon Gold Player Watch, but the price tag is a little much right now. I figured this Merona watch has almost a similar look, and will hold me over for now at $19.99.

This was a complete random purchase! I have been building up my make-up collection lately, and have been looking for a contouring palette. ELF was the only company that I came across (while at Target) that actually had one. I have only used it once, and I am pretty pleased with it!!
