Hey y’all! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I woke up this morning with places to go and people to see, more laundry dirty than clean, and exactly 3.2 pounds heavier than I was yesterday. One of my biggest struggles lately has been how to dress with the weight fluctuations that healing from Lyme brings. The…
I’m Engaged!
Y’all… I’m engaged! There is a super sparkly yellow gold ring on my left hand. Every time I see it, feel it, remember it– I think about my tall handsome man who loves me and has asked me to spend my life with him. If sap is not your thing, I suggest you forego reading…
Autumn Trends | Day One
Hey y’all! It’s been way too long since I’ve taken “real” outfit photos (and my iPhone remote broke, so that’s made even quick image grabs more complicated) and Ashley’s Autumn Trends Blog Event seemed the perfect excuse to get back in the habit! It is such a gorgeous day, so we spent a few extra…
Tunics All Summer Long
Hey y’all! How are you? It’s been another long week of skirt hemming and documentary watching here. One documentary in particular, “The True Cost“, really opened my eyes to an area of our world that I must do my part to change. I’m hoping to flesh out my thoughts for a post on it soon,…
Simple Saturday
Hey y’all! I just wanted to share the outfit that I’m wearing on this warm, sunny, gorgeous February Saturday afternoon. Is it a fabulous example of high-fashion, class, and/or thought-out mixing/matching? Nope, quite the opposite. You may have noticed that I’ve been doing fewer and fewer “outfit” posts lately. Why? Because in the midst of…
Cozy Comfort
Hey y’all! With the crazy leggings-are-pants trend, handily, has come a smorgasbord of cute, long shirts that help make jeans modest. I love to wear these on chilly but-need-to-get-stuff-done days. This tunic has so many details I love: Arms-length, flattering silhouette, sparkle threads, warmth, super soft, high neckline, and fitted shoulders. // tip of the…
Awk+Awe | White Jeans
Hey y’all! It’s finally time for Awk+Awe!! These posts are a lot of fun to write (although it takes me a while to try to remember my week!) and I love the chance to share the not-so-glamorous side of my life, as well as the blessings I’m thankful for. Alright, let’s get started! Awkward: Using…
Concealed Carry | Purple Skinny Corduroys
Hey y’all! When I announced the Concealed Carry Series back at the beginning of September, I really didn’t know how y’all would respond since I’d never mentioned firearms on the blog here before. I was pleasantly surprised by your excited responses! Today I’m sharing an outfit I wore this past Friday to pick my dad…
Farm Style | Bush Hogging
Hey y’all! One of the “problems” that always seems to be brought up in discussions on modesty is that it’s difficult to work outside and do hard tasks in feminine clothing. That’s exactly the myth this series will be trying to dispel. Today I woke up feeling like I am getting “the cold”. Since I…
Wet + Windy
Hey y’all! I hope you’re surviving the winter weather. I thought I’d share a quick outfit here before I attempt to summarize another sermon. I’m so behind it’s not even funny. Good news is I think I’m caught up on emails! If I haven’t responded to you, let me know. This is an outfit I…
How I Pack For Vacation
Hey y’all! I traveled this past week out to Denver, Colorado for the first time in a decade! On the long, long car ride I decided to redeem the time and hash out some of my traveling/ packing tips (on my phone no-less. 1,500 words with my thumbs, y’all). I don’t do a lot of…
