Sunday Best and All the Rest

  Hello all! How are you this fine October Sunday? Here, the season has certainly changed over the past couple of days. A crisp, cool wind has been blowing, bringing with it the prime time for tea, hot chocolate and lattes. In fact, my parents and I went out for coffee this afternoon. Below, you'll see me with a vanilla - not pumpkin spice - latte in my hands. ;)

   Hi all! My personal outfit posts are back from vacation, apparently. ;) As a matter of fact, I'm back from a mini-vacation myself. My parents and I enjoyed a three-day weekend in which we stayed two nights at one of our favorite summer getaways. Perhaps I'll share some photos with you soon! For now, please let me present to you my latest outfit shoot.

   Hello all, and welcome to my second day linking up to Bramblewood Thrifted! Today's outfit was worn to a wedding this afternoon. It added a bit of an extra challenge to come up with something dressy that wasn't a very similar outfit to something already on the blog. What resulted was an outfit that had the winter/spring transition feel akin to yesterday's look.

   Hello all! I'm joining in with the first day of Bramblewood Fashions' #Bramblewood Thrifted link-up. It's barely Friday any more, but I don't think it matters too much. ;) I had completely forgotten about this event until I saw a post by one of the bloggers I follow - eek! Thankfully, I already had a photo shoot stocked up for this Saturday, and it happened to meet the requirement of being mostly made of up secondhand items!

   I'm probably one of the few twenty-or-so-years-old American girls who aren't into Disney Princesses. However, this doesn't mean I'm immune to finding the "princessy" elements in an outfit. I'm particularly thinking today's Sunday best. What kind of princess would I be in this? A modern day European highness? A lady trying to reinterpret Edwardian fashion? What do you think?

   Good ev'ning to you folks!  It's the third and final day (though only the second day for me) of Bramblewood Fashion's Fall Trends blog party. For the event, I styled a somewhat bohemian look incorporating a color I normally don't associate with fall - that color is purple!

   Happy Wednesday, dear readers! Today I have both an outfit and a blog award to share. "Thank you" to Claire from  The Wonders of His Creation  for the nomination. Enjoy! :)

   Hello all! How are you today? I'm happy because it's raining - a long while has passed since I've heard the beautiful sound of raindrops hitting the pavement. I'm also pleased that my summer outfit photos were done long before the rain started! ;)

   Hello dearest of readers! What are you up to this fine second day of June? I have been babysitting, photographing flowers and birds, making  coconut milk ice cream , and blogging it up.

A 13-year-old fashion statement. This one is pretty cute , actually!    I'm impressed by the younger fashion bloggers I see. These girls have great style! I would not have been a good fashion blogger at that age. In retrospect, this was probably a good thing. I went blissfully ignorant through my awkward stage without realizing I was in it. It wasn't that I didn't care about what I wore, but my fashion decision-making was far more simplistic than it is now.

  Over the past few years, my style has changed and hopefully, matured. From the time I got seriously interested in putting together cute outfits for myself until now, my style has been here there and everywhere. That's probably completely normal for a teenager though... ;)    Now that I'm twenty, I'm trying to dress more like a young woman than a girl. Being Paige, that means I find my own  looks instead of faithfully following trends. Some days my look is classy, some days it's boho, and on other days it's retro; what I wear depends on my mood and what is currently inspiring me. Thanks to using Pinterest for the past few months I've been exposed to a lot of rustic/eclectic/vintage fashion lately. That kind of style was a large part of today's outfit inspiration.

   Happy Saturday, dear readers! Are you enjoying a restful day, catching up on chores, spending the day at work, or just waiting to see what will come? My day is filled with helping to clean our church, blogging, working on a Sunday School lesson, and going to a gathering to fellowship with a friend from out of the area.  Needless to say, it's shaping up to be a busy weekend. :)

   It's Saturday again (okay, it's probably Sunday by the time you're reading this ;)) and I'm here to show you an outfit that includes two beautiful brand new items that I acquired last mongth. Oddly enough, these two items have something in common...they're both faux leather!

Greetings, friends! It's time for an outfit post. :)

(above items are from Modcloth, Ruche and Anthropologie, respectively) We all have go-to items in our closets and dressers that have more outings than our other clothes. Their cute-factor, practicality and versatility have us wearing them again and again. In short, they make the outfit. Here, I have compiled a list of my essential shoes and clothes. They are great for starting you on your way to being more stylish, or just sprucing up your present wardrobe. Though you may not like them as much as I do, or find them to fit your lifestyle, they are what has worked for me and I just want to share them. J Striped knit tee This is so simple and yet so fun. The secret is in the stripes! If you want a quick way to make a casual outfit more chic, wear some stripes.   A Neutral Cardigan After buying this oatmeal cardigan, I wore it almost nonstop until a recent heat wave. I usually wear it with the sleeves pushed up, and it goes with nearly everything. Cardigans add ...
