It seems like I usually get around to posting here when it rains. Maybe because my body seems to calm down to the soothing sound of rain, and allows me to think and dream more. It brings out my writer's spirit, I suppose.
Lately I've been helping with my sister's school, practicing music, running errands, reading a lot, and spending time with my family. I don't want to ever become so busy that I miss out on the opportunities at this time of my life that I may not have in the future. I continue to be my busy bee self, but remind myself to enjoy life, take a break, and spend time with those I love.
Sadly, Bible College has been on the back burner lately, which is something I hope to change soon. It just seems like every time I pull out my college materials, that I'm suddenly asked to do something or find out we have to go somewhere. I'm going to try to make more of an effort at it though.
Considering I've lacked inspiration in the outfit department lately, I've been trying to do the outfit challenges on the Modern Modesty Facebook page. It's helped me put together some new outfits, and restarted my creative juices once again. Now, when I look at my closet, I notice things that would go together that I've never put together before.
Here's the challenge for July. I've been having a lot of fun with it. :)
I had wanted this skirt so bad that I traded a friend of mine for it, but I've had a hard time styling it. Which is really sad, since my favorite color is red. But since then, I've found a few things to go with it. I'll leave that for another post. ;) The shirt is from my mom, originally from Cato, the flats were $3 from Goodwill, and I made the jewelry. It was nice to finally be able to wear this awesome necklace. It feels so Native American to me.
This one was for the neons on neutrals. I've only ever styled this top with blue or white, and it was always really baggy so I hadn't worn it in a while, even though I really like it. When I saw the undershirt and top next to each other, I knew they'd be great together. I think it brought the top to life, and with tying it, it wasn't so baggy. I can see it being worn a lot more now. :)
I know it's a horrible picture, but instead of just doing my side pony tail flipped under, I added a braid. I really like it too, it just needs more practice.
Last Wednesday night I was in nursery, and the challenge was orchid and mint. Now, I have a lot of mint, but I couldn't find any orchid. Then, I remembered my favorite tee. I normally wear my mint hoops with this shirt, but considering I'd be around babies, it didn't seem like a good idea. So I went with the jewelry underneath instead.
oops! Almost passed up Tuesday's outfit. The challenge was jean and white. At first, I had it all on but the scarf. I do like the minimal look, but it felt too plain. So I added the scarf that I haven't worn in a long time, and really liked how it came together.
And here's yesterday's outfit. The challenge was boho, and I consider this really my only boho outfit. What makes it boho for me are the earthy tones, nature in the owl and leaves, and the flowy patterned skirt. It's so comfortable that it makes me want to wear more boho. ;) I also was barefoot with a messy bun.
Which outfit was your favorite?
