Sunday Best and All the Rest

  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.

   Hello everyone! I'm here today with the first outfit shoot of 2019! In fact it's the first outfit shoot in um..a while. ;) The funny thing is, when I titled this post I mistakenly typed "Pink" as "Oink", which is almost as fitting since pigs are often pink. Also, I've had an obsession with miniature piglets lately. So in a manner of speaking I have been "thinking oink" in recent days. Please tell me I'm not the only who gets fixated on small, fuzzy animals...

   Hello again readers! It's a good thing that I warned you I might not post as much, isn't it? A long time has indeed passed since I last wrote, but it's lovely to be back. :) Life has been crazy, though filled with good things. Last weekend my longtime bestie got married, and I had the privilege of being a maid of honor! Before too long, I hope to share more about that experience with you, as well as the details of my bridesmaid dress and shoes. For now, please enjoy this outfit post!

   Hello all! It's about time for an outfit post, isn't it? A couple of weeks ago I had an impromptu shopping session and found a few new things, two of which I'm sharing today. In addition to a new look I would like to share a few thoughts with you about a subject that's been on my mind lately.

   Hello there, everyone! Life is full, is it not? At any given time of year, just living can take up a lot of time and energy. Add Christmas into the mix and things get even more complicated. Blog post material isn't always easy to come by anyway when one's outfit photographer is not readily available and other plans fall through for the time being. Never fear, the blog will not lie completely dormant. Enter the wonderful world of Pinterest...

      April showers bring May flowers, right? Well, this May has had its flowers and showers so far. After a sunny week, the Lord decided to give us a bit more rain. I don't know why, but I do know that it called for another impromptu umbrella photo shoot! :)

       Hi all! I hope your week has been one full of peace, growth, rest, or productivity -  whatever you needed, even if it wasn't what you initially wanted! My week has been less overwhelming than many preceding days, resulting in me being caught up at work and feeling accomplished at home. I did end up coming down with a cold, but am glad to be having a relaxing evening.

   Last Sunday I had the rare opportunity of combining two new things together in an outfit, having a free afternoon, and enjoying a sunshiny day! Everything combined at the right time for my first real blog shoot in...um...I don't remember how long! This one features my new boots and a lovely feminine top. If Mrs. Bennett lived in modern times and had taken it upon herself to describe this outfit to her husband, he probably would have begged her to stop once she started in on the lace. ;)

   Hello all, I am back from whatever rock I was hiding under! What really happened was a week with plenty of rain, an odd schedule, more than usual hours at work, and no daylight in the evening, all of which spelled trouble for getting in an outfit shoot. Yesterday afternoon I had some free time, sunshine, and an available photographer, which spelled success for an outfit shoot. Not everything was just right, as my photos ended up including shoes more conducive to marshland wandering than the ankle boots I had worn to church. However, this is the real life of a non-career blogger. Please enjoy and look forward to the cute new shoes I will show you at a later date...;)

   Hello dear readers! The season has officially changed today, though winter had already come to the North. Even here on the coast, frost has been covering the ground each morning. Meanwhile, my birthday has now come on gone, with sweet family and friends making it a special day. Christmas festivities continue and fighting illness has become a normal part of my day. Yes...it's December!

  Hello, dear readers! Has December kept you with scarcely a dull moment? I am in the midst of a busy, under-the-weather, and sometimes stressful season, but the unhappy moments can be brightened by the fun events and kind thoughts surrounding them. Through it all, we must keep on traveling the road called life and trusting that God has the best plan for all circumstances.

   Good evening, all! Can you believe it's the last day of November already?! Winter has come upon us in the north, with cooler temperatures here to stay even in the temperate climate of my corner of the world. With this chill in the air, I've had to become more creative with dressing for work. Happily, I enjoy dressing for cooler weather. It's time to enlist the sweaters and boots!

   Hello all! Tonight, I have a two-fold post to share with you. First, I would like to show you one of my newest clothing items. Next, I have some reader-inspired content per Tabitha's idea (thanks!), in which I will be sharing tips for buying clothing secondhand. I look forward to continuing to implement my reader's post ideas.

   Hello everyone! Can you believe this is already my first blog post for October? September went by so quickly that I even missed celebrating my blogversary on the 2nd....hehe, woops! Regardless, the season has transitioned from summer to autumn, and the time for sweaters and boots has come!

  Hello everyone! I have a fun, unique post to share with you tonight. Last week, a representative of King Ranch Saddle Shop emailed me, encouraging me to put together a Southern-inspired look. I decided to give it a go, and now present you with my Southern belle ensemble, starring a pair of King Ranch Saddle Shop boots!

   Hi all! After seeing my opening photo, you might be wondering if the seasons got confused when they came to my town, and if spring and autumn decided to trade places. Well, don't let the knee socks and golden leaves deceive you. Though there was a fair bit of temperature change last week, Friday was actually a decently warm day. For one thing, there really are flowers blooming in my neighborhood, and for another, those boots were stifling! :)

   How do you do readers? I am worn out after a day of shopping. Let me tell you, it can be downright discouraging sometimes (like, what exactly is up with stores not carrying size 5-6 shoes?)! Nevertheless, I finally found the things I set out to buy and enjoyed spending time with my mom.

   Happy weekend all! I hope you are enjoying some fun and relaxation time. I'm slowly getting things done today before leaving the house later on. For now, I would like to share with you yesterday's rainy day look!

   Hello there! Another week, another holiday, another blog post...time keeps passing by! We've only two days left to March, so the next time I write you, it will be with April greetings. Perhaps sometime this spring I will sneak in some floral backdrops for blog shoots. I've just got to find the time and/or energy...;)

   How do you do, folks? It's the third day of Bramblewood Fashion's link-up! Earlier today it was looking like I would have to do a photo shoot indoors; though March is nearly halfway through, it's "in like a lion" this weekend with rain and wind. Thankfully, the rain has held off this afternoon and I got outside for some fashion shots!
