On The Go OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel for my On The Go OOTD! This casual ensemble was worn for a birthday treat day for our birthday girl niece and we all had a blast. Well, minus me absolutely EATING IT when we were roller skating. As a former competitive figure skater, everyone makes the assumption that I would be good at roller skating. That is SO far from the truth lol. My niece was skating circles around me and when I fell I literally saw my life flash before my eyes. I was so sore the next day, had a ginormous bruise on my knee, and came to the conclusion that I think that’s enough roller skating for my lifetime! Smh. Take a look at these yikes shots and then let’s discuss an activity that doesn’t make me feel like I’m thirty-one going on ninety:

My face after falling while pretending to my niece I was a-okay -_-

Wind in the hair, catching flies in the mouth

When my niece said she wouldn’t get me and Johnny a crock pot prize with the tickets she won

When my niece also said she wouldn’t get me and Johnny adorable horror movie plushies with the tickets she won lol

Thinking about the good times when it didn’t hurt to move after taking a tumble

Johnny and I LOVE playing co op puzzle solving games together like Little Nightmares, Reanimal, and Unraveled Two. It’s so fun to work together to move our characters forward and we both revel in the challenge. We are always on the hunt for more puzzle games to play and It Takes Two had been recommended to us by several people. It was on sale this past week for eight dollars on the PlayStation store so Johnny purchased it for us. We played it all of Saturday evening this past weekend and it was a delight. The game play was very reminiscent of Unraveled Two, which is our all time favorite. Jumping, swinging, switching levers, and workshopping all options to move along. Yes, we were moving minus one glaring issue…

The cut scenes! For anyone who has played It Takes Two, did you actually watch the cut scenes? Lol, we sure as hell didn’t! We watched about five minutes of the opening scene that depicts two parents on the verge of divorce. We decided we would rather play the game than watch this sad, sad tale and promptly skipped over every one afterwards. From what we saw, there is a magic spell, a talking book, and a whole lot of other stuff that we just don’t care about. And the cut scenes just kept coming! Did this game really need a feature film too? Who’s to say? Did not watching them effect our enjoyment of the game? It made it even better! If you are looking for a fun puzzle solver, a depressing story, or both then we highly recommend It Takes Two. I can’t wait to play more! 😀

All of the arcade games we played with our niece during treat day definitely inspired the purchase of It Takes Two. Unfortunately, we just can’t win any horror plushies for beating it! 😦

What is your favorite puzzle solving game? What is your favorite arcade game? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

On The Go OOTD

On The Go OOTD

Hi! The weekend of my new hair jamboree was a big one as the following day we were taking our niece for a birthday treat day. Fun n’ Stuff, which is an indoor attraction that boasts tons of arcade games, laser tag, roller skating, rides, and a playground, was the move and we had a blast! For my outfit, I wanted to wear something comfy enough to chase after my niece in but still cute because I wanted to take pictures lol. I didn’t get my hair done for nothing! Check out these pics from my On The Go OOTD and let’s discuss:

Who? What? Wear?

Hoodie: Forever 21

Leggings: These are Under Armor and a hand me down from my sister!

Heeled Combat Boots: Forever 21

^^^ I am just as shocked as all of you that I wasn’t wearing anything from TJMaxx!!

I rarely dip into my comfy wardrobe when I am out and about because I’m always trying to show out lol. However, given the circumstances, that is exactly the department of my wardrobe that I needed to visit! For a brief moment I played around with jeans and a cardigan but thought better of it, especially if we were going to be roller skating. And we most certainly did and I most certainly fell HARD smh. But that’s neither here nor there! In the cozy corner of my closet, I opted for a knee length hoodie from Forever 21 that says Killin’ It. I purchased this hoodie in 2016 and have been killin’ it every day since! Although this hoodie has lots of additional length, it is incredibly lightweight and was perfect for our afternoon of frivolity. I also like that it is slightly oversized without the bulk to keep me cool as we went about our adventure.

In the pants department, I went with a pair of hand me down Under Armor leggings from my sister that were a huge treat. I own leggings but they are all old as dirt and I never wear them outside of the house. These leggings fit like a glove while still being really breathable and are actually the best pair of leggings that I have ever worn. I loved the way they fit and they played up the bagginess of the hoodie as they hugged every curve. In the best way possible! 😀

I didn’t bother with wearing jewelry because I didn’t want to think about rogue earrings or bracelets falling off. So, I headed straight for the shoes instead. My favorite place to be! For shoes, I selected another Forever 21 number with the stark white heeled combat boots. They were nice and sturdy for all of the walking and running we did and tied the look together from head to toe. With that, I was ready to be On The Go with my lil bestie and main squeeze for a birthday bash!

No matter how simple the look, I always want to have some fashion fun. And, with that new hair, I could have been wearing a paper bag and no one could tell me NOTHIN!

What is your favorite brand of leggings? What is your typical On The Go outfit? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

On The Move OOTD

On The Move OOTD

Hello! Johnny and I like to try and have an outing together every weekend. When it is just us we, of course, dress however we want. This past weekend, however, we had company – our five year old niece. The plan was a Treat Day at an indoor amusement center and it was going to be very much on the go. Since our day promised SO many activities, I *gasp* dressed sensibly for the occasion. This On The Move OOTD is pretty much as casual as it gets for yours truly, which is definitely not something I’m used to! Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Crop Top: Been Trill, PacSun

Distressed Skinny Jeans: American Eagle Outfitters

Cheetah Print Boots: Circus By Sam Edelman, TJMaxx

Lego Earrings: AbbieDabbles

To begin this look, I went browsing in an area of Lil Red’s Boutique that I don’t shop in often: The chest of drawers. One of the drawers is home to casual tops including crops, tanks, and T’s. Normally, this is not where I would go to style what is my usual weekend ensembles. But, in the case of Treat Day, I was exactly where I needed to be. The last thing I wanted was to wear one of my “good” tops with the almost certain risk of stains and snags! I was in an All Black Everything mood so I went for a Been Trill crop top. This was purchased literally FOREVER ago when I worked at PacSun so it is a total throwback. Regardless of the fact that the crop is over a decade old, I think it still looks great!

Next on the agenda was jeans and I chose my super distressed skinnies from American Eagle Outfitters. The color is still so crispy (Even after three plus years of wear!) and they are just right for an All Black Everything OOTD. These jeans were the only option I considered because all of the other black skinnies I own are horribly faded. I haven’t bought AEO denim since said purchase of super distressed skinnies so I’m making a mental note to fix that ASAP. 😀

Finally, it was time for shoes and accessories. Rather than my preferred platforms, I opted for an amazing pair of ankle boots by Sam Edelman. The shape, buckles, and cheetah print pop are just so cool and Johnny’s biggest regret is not having the same shoe size as me because these are his fave! And, yes, they do have a baby heel which made me happy. 🙂 If it wasn’t Treat Day, I would have added some huge, chunky gold jewelry to this look – but, alas, it was Treat Day. So, I popped on a small pair of Lego bats and was ready for an afternoon adventure with my two BFFs!

I genuinely can’t wait to get dressed up for real next weekend – fall fits are calling my name. I’ll return the call next Saturday so stay tuned for more fashion fun on lifewithlilred!

Do you usually dress up or down? What is a casual look for you like? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
