Sunday Best and All the Rest

   Greetings, everyone! I hope that those of you who celebrate Christmas had a lovely holiday, whether it was quiet and thoughtful or lively and abundant. With the end of Christmas comes the realization that yet another year is drawing to a close. This fact brings both hope and fear, nostalgia for the past twelve months and wondering what the next twelve brings. Please join me for a brief look at this last month of the year...

   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, 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!

  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. ;)

   And just like that , Christmas has come and gone. I thought perhaps today's post would be a last weekends events with photos to illustrate. Instead, I present something more like photo essay with a few words of explanation. Though I don't always hold the view that a picture is worth a thousand words, I think in this case photography will help you reminiscence of Christmas day with me.

   Ah, December, the month of overlapping colds! Though disappointed to miss out on a party this week and thinking of the looming pile of work waiting for me at the office, there is a silver lining to my current malady. I have had time to 1) paint my nails (which I r arely do) and 2) finish my new blog header. What do you think? I'm excited to have a new look and a more accurate description of the content on Sunday Best. Now for a bit of the "and more" part! ;)

   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? Today I have a Valentine's Day outfit to share with you! This outfit saw me through a church potluck, a lavender latte, chocolate, and a movie called The Old Maid (how ironic of me). A girl likes to wear pink or red on V-Day, right?

   Hello folks! We've completed the first week of April...crazy huh? Though it's a sunny evening as I type this, we've been having April showers over here for the past few days. The good thing about the stormy weather is that it is a relief in the drought. The bad thing is that allergies become worse...blech. ;)

  Hi friends! Can you believe that tomorrow is the last day of 2014?! What a year! It has been full of new experiences and milestones, and is a year that I won't soon forget. I'm excited to be wrapping up my first full year with Sunday Best, and even polished up my layout to kick off 2015. So, here's one last outfit post for 2014 as I look forward to a brand new set of twelve months in which to live and to blog. :)

   Happy weekend-after-Christmas friends! I hope that you've all had a beauteous week. After such a momentous occasion, it of course follows that the fashion bloggers are rolling up their sleeves (J. Crew style ;) and getting down to business on outfit posts!

     It's the first week of December everyone...wait...what?! Another year has just absolutely flown by. It's already time again for cozy evenings with hot chocolate, the smell of spices in the air, Christmas carols, and going to sleep under a huge mound of blankets. Before I get too ahead of myself, take a look at what I wore for Thanksgiving. 

   Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :D This is a great day to take some time to think on all the blessings God has given us, and to remember to thank Him for them! One handy way to do this is to participate in a blog tag. ;) Thank you to dear Evie (see her blog at Me, Myself and I ) for tagging me. :)

   Hello ladies! I hope your week has been off to a lovely start. :) Here, we've been enjoying a very summery October so far. All the same, it's about time to talk about cool weather clothes - today I'd like to share with you another winter outfit styled by my mom!

   H'lo all! How has your week been so far? Mine has so far consisted of still trying to shake this cold, while getting back into normal weekly stuff, as well as attending a medieval festival!    Last week in the throes of illness (obviously we weren't at death's door) Mom thought it would be fun to style a couple of outfits for me and do a photo shoot. Both of the winsome ensembles she put together have a wintry look, and as the air is beginning to chill a bit, they can be made use of before too long! Onward to the first outfit...

    Hey all! Now that over a week has gone by,  it's probably time that I showed you what I wore for Independence Day. It has red and white and blue and stripes, and... and...well, it doesn't have stars. Four out of five patriotic elements isn't bad though, right? ;)

      Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you all had a splendid weekend. Today the outfit I'm posting is from the vacation I took a couple of weeks ago. I knew that I wanted to do a retro photo shoot at some point, so I packed my recently acquired vintage "Holiday"  magazine and some red lipstick. Normally, I wouldn't pack something like that on a trip where I was going to be hiking, but hey, a fashion blogger's gotta do what a fashion blogger's gotta do. ;)

  

   Hi all! I hope that you had a beautiful Resurrection celebration yesterday, whether it was busy or relaxed, at home or abroad. I had a full and enjoyable day spent at church and lunching with dear friends. The holiday is always meaningful when spent in fellowship with like-minded people. :)
