Mixing Prints in Rain -One Skirt Three Days

Apr 30th, 2012 20 Comments

This is the final day of the challenge. You can see the other girls outfits here. I almost forget about it and by the time I remember one of the kids announced that it was raining so I got dressed and ran outside with my faithful photographer. (aka sis) None of these pictures are flattering at all, but we were being soaked in the rain so I just told her to click click click and hope that they turn out!

Today I was just going to wear the blouse and skirt, but decided it was boring. So I mixed prints and added the tank. I kind of like how it turned out even if some of you might think that it is weird. :)

Ignore my hair. It was a bad hair day today.

What I Wore-

Blouse- Walmart ($8??)
Tank- Random
Skirt- Random
Shoes- Shoe Dazzle
Necklace- Fantasy Jewelry Box

Black With a Hint of Pink-One Skirt Three Days

Apr 29th, 2012 19 Comments

Day three of the one skirt three day challenge. :) You can view the other girls outfits here. Today’s outfit was actually shot yesterday *shh*, I spent most of today training Padfoot and just hanging out with the family.

Noah wanted to get into the pictures with me so I let him. Isn’t he adorable? I haven’t worn this outfit and skirt together before because I feel like it isn’t very flattering, but oh well it’s comfortable and cute so I don’t mind. :) And you can’t really see the pink shoes because our grass is so long, but I *do* have pink in this outfit. ;)

I am the type of person who likes to be behind the camera, so ignore my awkward posing. :D Thanks N for the photos! 

What I Wore-

Skirt- Random
Shirt- Walmart ($5)
Necklace- Fantasy Jewelry Box
Flip Flops- Neuaura

Nautical Stripes-One Skirt Three Days

Apr 28th, 2012 31 Comments

Soo, Ashley, Natasha, and Olivia are doing a one skirt three days challenge. I decided to join since it has been forever since I did one of these. ;)

Yeah, I have big hair

The minute I saw this challenge I knew exactly what skirt I was going to use. My favorite black maxi skirt. So for the next three days I will be styling this skirt three different ways.

I am lazy. So I’m not wearing any makeup here (surprised?) and my hair is just curled with my Amika Styling Wand. I like this outfit because it is easy and like I have said before, I am busy er lazy and like easy!

It was horribly windy today so my hair and skirt were all over the place. Thanks N for taking the photos for me. :)

What I Wore-

Shirt- Gaiam 

Belt/Skirt- Random

Shoes-  Neuaura

I Dance Without Music Playing

Mar 28th, 2012 8 Comments

I love to dance. Even though I think I am the world’s worst dancer. And this outfit is inspired by *cough* Peter Pan. You know, Tinkerbell and all the fairies in it? Every time I see a twirly skirt I think of fairies and then I think of Peter Pan. Oh, never mind I’m rambling as usual. :D Anyhow, here is the outfit. I don’t look the greatest in these, but whatever.

Sorry about the bad lighting in these. My sister took them and I don’t know anything about Photoshop so I can’t fix that!

What I Wore-

Top- Thrifted
Shoes- My very dirty feet. :D
Skirt-Monroe and Main

I liveeeeeee!!!!!!!! (An outfit post with a weird title)

Mar 21st, 2012 32 Comments

The title of this post is from Mulan and it has nothing to do with this post. Nothing. This is just a random outfit post. :)

I love comfy. If you haven’t noticed I live on a farm and I like easy. Plus I am a tomboy and jeans just work better for my life-style. BUT just because I love my jeans doesn’t mean that I dress like a frump. So here is my attempt at styling rolled up jeans to create boyfriend jeans.

Have I mentioned how much I love living in the country? I mean I LOVE the city too, but the country is awesome for photo opps! Plus all the shrubs and “stuff”? Perfection. :D

I was pretending to dance with the post. What? You’ve never done that? Come on, it is FUN to dance with random objects for no reason. :D

Clothing-

Shirt- Gaiam
Hat- Thrifted
Sunglasses- ??
Belt- From another dress
Jeans- Thrifted. I rolled them up to make boyfriend jeans.
Shoes- None. :D

Thanks sis for the pictures!

Apostolic Co Blouse Review

Feb 16th, 2012 4 Comments

 

 

Here are the links to the website and the item I got: and http://www.apostolicco.com/product.php?id_product=227 . I have also attached the pictures for you.

Apostolic Company sent me their Ruffle 3/4 Blouse to review. The blouse is very pretty. It is made of 95% Cotton and 5% Spandex fabric and is machine washable and dry-able.

When I first got it in the mail and tried it on, I thought that it was kind of itchy (because of the lace), but onceI washed it and it was no longer itchy.

There were a couple things that I had to do to the shirt. First, I had to iron the lace down since it stuck up… but that was no big deal. I think that the only other main thing that I did not like was, the buttons were loose so I had to sew them a little tighter. But besides that, the blouse is pretty nice. Oh, one other thing was, when I got the blouse, it was ripply all over, but once I washed it, it was not ripply any more.

Apostolic Company did a good job in shipping their items out quickly.

If you are a girl you just might need another blouse in your closet. Go order yours HERE for only $18.95. Apostolic Company does not only offer pink blouses, they have other colors available too.

The Skirt Site Review

Feb 10th, 2012 11 Comments

 

Hello ladies!

Recently, I was sent a skirt from The Skirt Site to review. They sent the Ruched Short Skirt in rust. Even though the description says “short,” the hem covers my knees (I’m 5’6″, for height comparison), so there are no worries about immodesty. Personally, I feel a little uncomfortable in anything above the knee, so this is about as short as I like to go.
Skirt Site Skirt

Beautiful!

As you can see, it’s a great fall color. The color on my screen was a little different from the product in real life: on my screen, it looks a bit purple, but the actual skirt is a pretty orangey-rust color. It’s a muted jewel tone, which is perfect for fall. I matched all the changing leaves. :)
 
If you’re a twirly-skirt kind of girl, grab this one! It’s so fun to spin around in. The material is very soft and light and moves with your body, so any move you make will send shimmery little waves down through the skirt. It’s so soft that I can wear it out or lounging around – it’s that comfortable. I imagine it would be a really good dancing skirt, too, because of the way it moves.
 
There is ruching down the sides of the waist/hip, so that adds a nice detail. I tend to wear this skirt at my hips, because I like it a little longer, but you could wear it higher on your waist, too – the material is stretchy enough to accommodate putting it wherever you like. However you place the waist, the ruching creates a nice crinkly little waistband, if you like that look. If not, you can cover it with a shirt. The only thing I’m unsure of about this skirt is that it has an unfinished or raw edge at the hem. I hope that when I wash it, there won’t be fraying, because I really like this skirt! It’s a good addition to my wardrobe.
 
You can pick one up at The Skirt Site for $24 here. They also have this particular skirt in navy and black. And if this skirt isn’t exactly your style or if you don’t see your size, they have lots more to choose from. :) I was happy to note, for example, that they have plus sizes as well as straight sizes, so if that is an issue for you while shopping, you may be able to find something here.
 
Happy shopping!

Because I’m Cool Like That

Jan 27th, 2012 37 Comments

It is a blah day and I was tired of jeans and yoga pants. And I wanted to feel pretty. So  I curled my hair, put on a skirt, and some heels and felt like a princess. (To all you girls sitting in jeans like me, you should try this sometime! ) I then decided to run outside and get my sis to snap some pictures. And this is the result. Because I’m cool er silly like that. :D

**Warning, you are about to see my personality. My bubbly/silly side that no one besides my close friends and family sees. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.** :D


I warned you……



Don’t judge, I told you I was crazy.

However, the wind was against us. Not only did my curls turn into a big mess, but several photos turned into a  ”Marilyn” white dress moment. And it’s also one of the reasons that I prefer pants otherwise my skirts whip up….

I dance my way through life and when I fall, I pick myself back up.

Ignore my hair and the rolled up tank underneath. I need to chop all the hair off and I should have fixed that tank. I just wanted to show you one of my favorite necklaces. It reminds me to dream big and to believe. Don’t ask why, it just does. ;) And I can’t believe that I just posted these  crazy photos….

What I Wore-

Skirt- Thrifted
Shirt- Thrifted
Tank-Someplace
Necklace/Ring- Fantasy Jewelry Box
Boots- Thrifted
Tights- Forever21

My sister and I stood out in the cold and took these photos, so don’t steal. I don’t like thieves, and these photos are un-edited and mine.

Hot or Pretty?

Jan 5th, 2012 28 Comments

This post was inspired by this post here.

Hot or pretty? I don’t like it when guys treat me as if I**ahem** am a sex object to be stared at.  (No, I don’t dress immodestly most of the time I’m in jeans or a knee length skirt) I would much rather be called a pretty girl then a “hot babe”. Seriously, if you guys think this is a turn on think again! I don’t give a guy half a chance if he whistles and  shouts “Hey babe, what’s up!!” SERIOUSLY????? I might look innocent and sweet, but I HATE these comments!

I want to ask you something- How would you describe Taylor Swift? Most people would describe her as pretty and innocent and I agree. However, how would you describe Miley? I would say you would probably say that she is “hot”. If you compare the way she dresses to the way Miley Cyrus dresses, which would you rather be like? I’ll be like Taylor thank you very much.

Let me explain something to you, most of the time when you dress like a “hot chick” then you will get treated like a plaything and a toy that guys can use. However, if you dress like a pretty innocent young lady then guys will instantly want to respect and protect you. (In my experience though sometimes it doesn’t matter what you wear and guys will still be jerks!)

See my point? When guys see a girl dressed modestly and looking like a girl should, something clicks in their brain. They instantly want to protect and respect you. Dressing pretty will ensure that guys will WANT to win your heart, protect it, and love you.

However, when you dress up in a micro-mini skirt and corset type top, guys will think that you are cheap and they can easily get you. They won’t want to protect or love you. They just want your body.

Something that Emma Watson once said really stuck with me: “Modesty is hottest, and the more you keep covered the more people can wonder.”

I know that Emma and Taylor have both worn some questionable things, but compared to Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus they both seem to be all around sweethearts!

My point is, is that we don’t have pretty anymore. We have hot. I say that we bring pretty back! And maybe along the way we will uncover some guys who are being suffocated by all the “hot” girls out there. Remember, for every pretty girl this is a hundred “hot” girls.

It’s your choice, will you be a pretty girl or a hot girl? You CAN be a beautiful, modest, and pretty girl. Me? I choose the pretty girl. And even if the guys go for the hot girls- remember they respect the pretty girls. And I’d rather be respected any day then be treated like a object that is just there for play and fun.

Skinner, Shorter, And Tighter

Nov 7th, 2011 3 Comments

It seems like all the clothing these days are getting skinner, shorter, and tighter. And the clothing stores tell you that “if you’ve got it, flaunt it!” Don’t even get me started on Junior’s clothing. It’s really hard to find modest clothing. All the clothing makes you look like trashy! And it all seems to be made so it WILL cause guys to stumble.

These days, all girls seem to be thinking “will this outfit make me look hot or not?” Sorry girls, but looking “hot” isn’t exactly what you should be thinking when you get dressed! Rather, you should be thinking “will this outfit cause a brother to stumble?” When I get dressed in the morning, I try to be modest, yet fashionable/attractive. I don’t get up thinking “what can I wear that will push the limits?’ or “how hot will this make me look” Looking hot isn’t on my agenda! Looking attractive yet modest? Yes!

I love the label on my cargo pants, it says “To go nowhere follow the crowd” And it’s SO true! Following the latest trends won’t get you anywhere! You CAN be modest while being attractive!

Girls, you don’t want to look trashy. And all the clothing these days seems to be trying to make girls look trashy. Let me ask you something, do these clothing items REALLY honor God? When you are wearing short shorts, mini skirts, tube dresses, and crop tops will people be able to see your shining light? And are you being a city on a hill?

Remember, your clothing should be loose enough to show you are a lady, but tight enough to show you are a woman. Tube dresses/tops, short shorts, “hot” pants, crop tops, and mini skirts/dresses aren’t clothing that a virtuous girl wears. When you get dressed, take a good look in the mirror and check out your outfit, would you be embarrassed if your pastor could see you? If not, then wear the clothing! But if you would be embarrassed, wear a different outfit.

When you choose to ignore the latest immodest trends, not only are you protecting your OWN purity, but you are also protecting the purity of boys and men around you.
