Happy Valentine's Day!

   Greetings lovely ladies! I hope that you are enjoying this Friday. :) It's rather wet and gray here, but the rain hasn't been here long enough yet for me to be bored of it. We'll see how I feel if it continues for another week. ;)
   Well, today is the day on which we in the Western world celebrate love. What kind of "love" you are celebrating depends on who you are and what you believe. For me, today is a reminder to think of the Lord's love for me, and to try to show His love to those around me (though this is something we can do every day!). And yes, it's also a superb excuse to eat sweets and wear a girly pink outfit. ;)

  This pink short-sleeved sweater with red rick-rack is just the thing for a Valentine's outfit. Its muted shade works well with my gray wool skirt. I threw on a cardigan for warmth, and put on my brown boots to brave the elements. Though you can't see it in these pictures, I'm also wearing a lacy off-white headband. Now I have a cozy, feminine and retro Valentine's Day outfit!

May your weekend be filled with the love of God! :)
