Sunday Best and All the Rest

   Readers, I have returned! This year, blogging has taken its place on the back burner. This was bound to happen eventually. Life seasons change, and in this stage of life I smile at my innocent teenage intentions to write here three times a week. Once a month is about all I can manage now. Nevertheless, the less often our visits, the sweeter they are.

   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 and happy Monday everyone! I hope you enjoyed a lovely weekend and are starting your week off on the right foot. This evening, I have a lot to share, so I'll let you by with a short intro. ;)

   So, it seems that I am addicted to stripes (of course, you already knew that) and jersey-knit skirts, most especially when the two combine. Just take a look at all of this year's outfit posts. >.< This particular outfit combines my new maxi skirt with a cozy sweater that looks like the perfect outfit for October; The only problem is that I wore this outfit last week. It's like Christmas in July right?

   Greetings, friends! Spring has sprung, events abound and the whispers of all that the changing seasons mean have begun echoing in our minds. There are classes to be completed, wildernesses to be explored, and dreams to chase! Before we complete our goals, embark on our adventures or invest in our hobbies we often have to wait. In the times of waiting, it's the little things in life that help us express our creativity - style is one way to do this!

   How do you do, readers? It's high time that you and I met again! I hope that you have been well and happy. My life is as full as ever, though I'm expecting this to be a slower week (I think ;)). Over the weekend, my mom, best friend and I went on a shopping expedition. We all found something, and I took home quite a few consigned items. On Sunday, I had the chance to wear a couple of my finds!

   Hello everyone! I hope that all of my U.S. followers had a lovely Thanksgiving this past week. Our family had a delicious and quiet supper which we shared with my Grandma. I was able to enjoy a four-day weekend, spending time with family, getting things done and visiting with friends. Now it's back to work and into the Christmas season!

   Hi there everyone! Long time no see, eh? I trust that you've all been well and happy since we last met. Lately it's been harder to fit in outfit blog shoots with the sun down before I get off work and my photographer now working two mornings a week! Well, this weekend we made it happen just in time for the upcoming holiday. :)

   Hello everyone, how has your weekend been so far? My Saturday has been the first day without great pain for a while. Most of this week I had a terrible toothache, and ended up needing a root canal on Thursday morning! Thankfully, today I have been feeling quite a bit better than I had been (especially after sleeping in!) and was able to go to the beach with my family and enjoy some photography with that perfect overcast lighting. Though sometimes painfully aware that I'm an amateur, behind the lens is one of the places I am happiest - my fellow shutterbugs probably know just what I mean! :)

    Hello all! Hmm, it seems that I blog on a different day every week now doesn't it? Such is the life of a hobby blogger and indeed, such is the life of everyone! Our days are full of ups and downs, free time and busy time, surprises and daily duties. Now and then the Lord gives us little gifts (material or intangible) that put a smile on our face in the midst of it all. One of recent gifts for me was this skirt!

   Hello all, and happy Sunday! Hopefully you, as I, have been enjoying a relaxing day before getting back to the stresses of work, school, and household duties. Today I was talking to a friend about how truly important it is to have a day of rest. God's design for a day off from labor is the best plan; We can spend time worshiping Him and having fellowship with other believers as well as giving our bodies a break from working. Good stuff, right?

     Hi there, readers! I hope that you have been enjoying this April week. For me, it has been fairly well-paced, which is helpful when trying to recover from a springtime cold. Sunday was a pleasant day of celebrating the Savior's resurrection, and it offered the perfect opportunity for a photo shoot with one of my new-to-me items. I suppose spring is an appropriate time of year to say "out with the old, in the the new" regarding one's closet!

  Hello there readers! I seem to have taken a brief blogging hiatus without telling you, but you see, I hadn't given myself any advance notice either. ;) Sometimes life gets busy, and bloggers are uninspired (or just lazy). What matters is that I am back this evening, and even have new clothes to tell you about! I hope that in the time since we last "met", you have had many good days and plenty of accomplishments.  :)

   Hullo all! How has your week been? As usual, I have been keeping busy, but enjoy the satisfaction of getting projects done at work and home. The weather has been dreary out West, and has taken toll on the morale of we who live beneath the storms. However, I am grateful for plenty of water after a long drought. For the past two weeks, there have been breaks in the rain when Mom meets me for lunch on my full days at work. There is a nature trail near my place of work, so we have had the pleasure of taking short walks together. While we were out today, Mom took a few outfit photos on her phone.

  Well readers, Valentine's Day has come and gone, but do not think it passed without this blogger putting together an apropos outfit! You may also be sure that I did not to pass up the opportunity to eat chocolate, especially that which was gifted to me by my sweet parents. I may not have had a "Valentine" in the modern sense of the word, but was thankful to have a mom and dad who love me very much, and a little dog who always wants my attention. ;)

   Greetings, readers! I have a double feature blog post today, with a fun new outfit and some thoughts on a current, yet age-old issue. To save on time, I will explain about the outfit here. It features four darling new items - the skirt is gifted from a co-worker, tights from Mom for my birthday, and boot cuffs and booties purchased using a Target birthday gift-card from my co-workers. P.S, these shoes are a new favorite pair. :)

   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 everyone! I hope all of my U.S. readers have managed to stay safe and dry during this month of storms. Here in the Pacific states, the dark skies have been pouring, but those of us in my area  have remained safe. At times like these, sweaters, blankets, hot chocolate and cuddly little dogs are what's in order!

   Hi everyone! Well, I guess I'm a once-a-week blogger now. Life stops to wait for no one, and the hard times, busyness, and taking time for rest and fellowship has caught up with my blogging life. Rather than pushing myself to come up with two posts a week, I will make it my goal to post once a week. It may happen more or less often sometimes, depending on how the week is going. Part of blogging is being able to enjoy it, and I think paring down will help me to have more fun, and hopefully maintain blog quality!

    Hello all! I hope you've been having a good weekend thus far. Many of us in the States are enjoying a three-day weekend, getting ready to celebrate our nation's birthday. Happy Independence Day, fellow Americans! :)
