Back at it in 2024

 Woah!  I don't even know where to begin, it's been over 5 years since I last blogged.  I have 2 kids and have decided one of my 2024 goals is to pick up my hobby again.  This time with an add-on of an Amazon Associate.  My first recommendation is this Facewash.  I use it on my face and my arm pits in the shower.  It's supposed to kill the bacteria that causes buildup and smell.  You're welcome!  

PS, all of my old pictures and flatlays were used by Polyvore which is no longer available, so you can't see any of my old pics, bummed!

Kids Holiday Party

Kid's Holiday Party by fitfashlife featuring stacking bangles

Mink Pink / Sheer shirt / GAP tall pants / Calvin Klein Jeans ballet flat / Charlotte Russe ballet flat / White House Black Market set of bangle / Kate Spade stacking bangle / Kendra Scott earrings / LOFT knitted scarve / Kendra Scott Minnie Earrings Forest Jade - Zappos.com Free Shipping...

Here's a suggestion what to wear to the Holiday parties, keeping in mind there will be tons of kids at the party.  That might not mean anything to you if you're the type of adult that just kicks back on the couch and watch's the game, or chats it up with the other adults.  But, if you are the type like me, to take some time to roll around on the floor with the kiddos or do some arts and crafts, you want to keep that in mind when picking out your outfit.  
Flats are a must for comfort, but they can still be fun!  Keeping on trend, I mixed prints, leopard and polka-dots.  Found a budget friendly blouse option at Target (on right).  (Throw on a long cardigan or blazer if you are chilly).  I made it "Holiday" friendly by adding a red infinity scarf and my fav Kendra Scott earrings.  Let's discuss the term infinity scarf for a sec.  Some people call it a snood, like back in the day.  But that's just a disgusting name, so infinity scarf it will be for good!  Because it's my blog, The End! 
Hope you enjoyed!  If you care to check out more outfit options, feel free to follow/subscribe!

Looking forward to this weekend even though I had this past week off.  We have a Post Holiday- ugly sweater party tonight that I'm not so excited about.  The only reason I'm not excited is because my ugly sweater is soooo ugly! It ain't got no alibi!  I mean some sweaters are ugly cute, but not mine!  So gross!  I'll post it to show you.
Any way, last night I met a girlfriend out for a drink.  We haven't hung out in about 2 weeks, so we needed to get together and catch up!  It's still freezing in NY so this poncho was the first thing I pulled from my closet and then everything else was styled around this.  How cute is this, from Nordstrom Rack!  
Ponchos are great to style for any size lady, this also works well for preggo ladies also!
What item in your closet is your go-to for cold weather??

Back to work today and I'm not happy about it.  It's casual Friday in my office so it's not too bad.  The weather in NY is freezing so trying to stay warm during my commute while still looking cute is what I was going for today.

NYE Party Option

NYE Party Attire by fitfashlife featuring a clutch purse

Zara short dress / LOFT lace bootie / Clutch purse / Bracelets jewelry / Charlotte Russe ball earrings

For our last December linkup, what better way to bring in the New Year than with a Glamorous New Years Eve Party!  
I chose this peplum dress because it can be worn for many different occasions.  I'm all about getting double and triple use out of items.  Dress it up or down and for $80 from Zara last year, this is def a winner!  These fun lace booties are from The Loft and something about them screams sexy/fun.  I'm loving charcoal and mint together, the dark background really makes the jewelry pop. Add a smokey eye with some light sparkle (age appropriate) and you will be the HOT hostess that everyone wonders... "How does she do it?"

 You can even wear this dress to work, add a blazer and tights and work appropriate booties and statement necklace, G2G! (good to go).


Happy Holidays!

CLOTHING
forever21.com



Forever21 has some cute summer clothes right now and of course they are very wallet friendly too.  One thing that you have to be careful of is quality.  Sometimes I'm ok with buying cheap quality clothes, if I only plan on wearing them a couple times.  The "cost per wear" equals out, similar to an item I plan on keeping and wearing for a long time. This dress is $28.  How can you beat that?? If you wear it 3 times this summer the "cost per wear" is under $10, then you can transfer it to a beach coverup and wear it the whole month of August. (and longer if you are in the south and Cali.)
One way I would def wear this is for date night.  Pair it with cute casual wedges and simple jewelry and you are ready for dinner outdoors and a stroll by the water. 
What are your thoughts about Forever21 clothes??
