Outfit || Boot Camp

  Hello all and happy November! With earlier sunsets, colder days, and talk of Thanksgiving plans, it's easy to feel the change of seasons. Though the dark evenings can frustrate me, I do like being cozy indoors watching movies and draining mugs of tea. Another one of my favorite things (I feel a song coming on...) about this time of year is a good pair of boots.

   Yes, today's outfit features new boots, a pair that I found after searching long and hard through rows of footwear at various stores. I needed something with laces to cinch up around my slender legs, and also something comfortable for my finicky feet. It's safe to say I made the right choice, as I have been wearing these nearly every day. ;)

   Do you know what's just as autumnal as knee-high boots? If you guessed a baggy sweater, you are correct! On the Saturday of this photo shoot, I kept things casual but classy with my beloved burgundy sweater, skinny pants, my new boots, and a sparkly necklace. Perhaps it's a bit of a stereotypical white girl in fall look, but I rather like it.

   Now I have some news to share with you, dear readers. You see, the day after I posed for the outfit photos above I become engaged to my best friend. He is a faithful Christian man that I have known for a little over two years and have been in a relationship with since last autumn. Through our season of dating, we grew in deeper knowledge of and love for each other and eventually the time came to take the next step...

...so I got some awesome bling! ;)

Your prayers are appreciated as we prepare for all that is to come!

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
