Virtuous Girlhood

My little sis took the photos for me. Thanks Louise you did a great job! These photos are unedited.

Today’s outfit may be liked by some and the rest of you may hate it. It’s up to you. Me? I love this outfit. I’m typically in jeans and a tee, but I was sick of them so I pulled this cute dress out of my closet and added a cardi, boots, and leggings to “winterize it”. I like the finished look.

What the dress looks like without the cardigan in the way. I would have taken it off, but it was FREEZING and below 10F.

If I had taken this shot I would have fixed my cardi, but oh well.

Le necklace (These final two where taken by yours truly. Don’t ask how I did it. It’s kind of hard to explain. )

And a final closeup……

What I Wore-

I really have no idea where the clothing came from. Most of my clothing is thrifted unless it comes from Kohl’s or Walmart. The leggings are from Walmart though.
Boots- Naturalizer
Necklace- Shabby Apple

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.

**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.**

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.

I stopped posting outfits simply because I feel like I have an inadequate sense of style and it just feels weird. But quite a few readers have commented and asked for them back, so I guess I’ll attempt it again.

I always go through the pictures and I catch glimpses of what I would have done differently if I had been shooting the photos. And I can think of a TON of things that are wrong with these photos, but here goes, I’ll try to do a outfit once a week or so for you all.

This week I attempted boho style with jeans . I love the hipster/boho look. All that I needed was a feather headband, sandals, and an oversized bag and I have the look. It was too cold for that though, so I went with the WARM boho style.

My boots and accessories…….

What I wore-

Jeans- Macy’s
Shirt- Kohl’s
Jewelry- Necklace Shabby Apple, bracelet random.
Boots- Vintage, they where my great-grandmother’s.

All photos are un-editied and are mine so don’t steal.

Ugh. I have a love/hate relationship with winter. I hate how dull and dreary it is, but at the same time I love these trends! And you can make winter go faster by adding these items to your wardrobe.

• Pop of Color

Winter is so, well it’s so dull, so why not add a pop of color? You can easily do that with a pair of bright shoes OR a handbag. Personally, I’m drooling over these red shoes and this yellow handbag. Trust me though, your local thrift store will have both these items for 75% off what’s listed at the links.

I LOVE tights. Did I mention that I LOVE tights? With tights I can even wear my summer dresses! Yay! Forever21 has tights at great prices. I’m planning on shopping there sometime soon as I really need to get some more tights for winter.

Once again winter will go by alot faster if your hair looks super cute! And hair accessories are a great way to dress up your hair. Mimi’s The Look, Forever21, 1928, and Cover Your Hair all have some adorable hair accessories.

• A Bright Coat

Yep! Bright coats are in ladies! Whether yours is plaid, solid, or checked it doesn’t matter, so long as it’s bright! Personally, I’m drooling over this sweet coat from Nordstorm.

• Orange

Lucky, lucky, lucky me! Orange is one of my colors. And I love that I can wear it! Personally, I’d love to own a orange skirt and coat. And I’m drooling over this beauty!

What are you doing to brighten up winter???
