Sunday Best and All the Rest

  How do you do, readers? Today I have a new neutral outfit to share with you, as well as a devotion! Because I do a lot of talking later, I won't chatter  much in this first part of the post. ;)

    How do you do folks? Christmas has come and gone again, and proved to be a good holiday for my family and I. We enjoyed time with family on Christmas Eve and fellowship with dear friends on the holiday proper, as well as times with just the three (four, counting Copper ;) of us.

   Greetings all! :) I do believe this is my last post before Christmas. Therefore, I want to start out by wishing all of you who celebrate the holiday a MERRY CHRISTMAS ! In the midst of all the fun of lights, good food, family, friends, and gifts, do remember to think of Jesus and thank Him for coming to earth as one of us. He is the reason for every season!

   Another birthday has come and gone. I am another year older and hopefully more mature, skilled, and experienced than I was this time last year! Now I am one more year into that most mysterious of decades, "the twenties". Birthdays are strange things; we have them only every twelve months, but that one day goes on to define a part of us for the next twelve.

   It's Decembrrrrr! You know it's winter when you fall asleep under a pile of blankets that collectively makes up twice your body weight (you guess whether or not I'm kidding). Of course, some of you are reading this and thinking that if there isn't three feet of snow outside, it's not really cold. I'm just a sensitive North Coaster. ;)

   Good evn'n' readers! Today's post is something a little off of Sunday Best's beaten path; It's a Pinterest inspiration post! Yes, I know...I'm a little behind the times in the world of fashion blogging. ;) We all have to do these posts at some point we don't have outfit photos ready...or is it just me *cough*? Either way, enjoy these winter fashions that I've been liking this year!

   This week's "Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday" post has become a Thursday post, thanks to some technical difficulties with our internet provider! Though this could not be helped, I happily had some time this stormy afternoon to share my outfit! And so, now I blog, sipping tea, soaking up the warmth of a space heater, and gazing out the foggy living room window as I write.

    Wood smoke floating past the window...leaves rustling in the wind...gray clouds set against a pale sky...the warm feeling of a space heater blowing on my feet...it's must be a Saturday afternoon in December! I have dinner and a play with a friend to look forward to tonight, and a wool skirt to keep me warm. For now, I cozily blog. What are you seeing and doing this fine day?

  Hello all! Today I'm here to review a handcrafted item from an Etsy shop. How often is it that I do that!? Let's take a closer look, shall we?

   Well, another weekend is upon us. The next weekend will be December. Um...how did that happen? Let's reminisce about this month's holiday before getting ahead of ourselves. ;)

   Happy Thanksgiving eve to my U.S. friends, and happy (almost, for me) Friday to my international friends! California's sweater season has finally come, and I have a sweaterificant outfit to share with you today. It also proves that I really do wear colors other than blue. ;)

      Ev'nin' to you, readers! How are you doing this November weekend? I'm tired from a day of errands, and a collection home-based accomplishments. Blogging just my be my final chore before sitting back to relax for the rest of the evening!

   Hello and happy Wednesday all! It's been a sunny November day in the land of evergreen trees, and I have a new outfit to show you. It's not for the faint of heart...there's lace and pink. ;)

   Have you ever been trying to come up with an outfit and had a wardrobe epiphany? A burst of creative fashion genius? I had one a couple of days ago, and these are the results.

   Evening, folks! :) What have you been up to this November? I've been busy with my usual pursuits, as well as practicing my dulcimer. Learning an instrument has been a fun experience so far, and I look forward to the day when I am confident enough to play in church (or video myself).

    It's the weekend! And Paige is finally putting up two posts in one week. ;) Today I have an outfit and a devotional to share with you, so scroll on down!

   Well, so much for getting back on schedule *sheepish grin*. For varying reasons, I didn't get a post up this weekend. However, I am back and excited to share with you this November evening (or morning, for my friends across the globe :). This isn't exactly a fashion related post, but I do hope you will enjoy it! Without further ado...

  Greetings all! Perhaps Sunday Best can get back on schedule this week, eh? :) I'm here this Tuesday with an outfit and the modest fashionista list that I said might happen last week...ha! ;)

      Greetings dear readers! Is this a weird time for a post? Yes. Have I been a busy person and unorganized blogger lately? Yes. Will this stop me from posting? No way!

   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!

   Hello all! I decided to join the Autumn Trends blog party at Bramblewood Fashion, though I'm a day late. ;) So, I send a "Welcome to Sunday Best!" to any party guests from there. Regular readers, I hope you enjoy this new outfit!

          Once upon a Monday night at Paige's house, the family laptop went kaput. It had been on its way out for a while, but the time had finally come to replace it. Paige's parents ordered a new laptop, which arrived that Friday (as it turns out, they might not even keep it, as it might not be the best choice for them). Paige hadn't taken any outfit photos that week, so she was just going to share a sob story on Saturday night - then, she saw the guest post in her inbox! 

   Hello all! It's October! Can you believe it? When we were doing this photo shoot today it was cold and windy enough to really seem like fall. If I had been out there much longer, I would have wanted a jacket. ;)

   Autumn has arrived in my corner of the country! This cool (but not cold) afternoon, Mom and I went on a mini-adventure including bakery goodies, a blog shoot, and beautiful scenery. I've included a few of my artistic photographs, as well as outfit shots. :)

   Hello all! I'm sorry to be posting this a bit late -better late than never, you know. ;) Today, I am presenting a topic of interest to me, as well as a new outfit. Scroll on down - I hope you enjoy this post!

   Hello there readers! Is your week off to a good start? Mine has begun with my cleaning job yesterday and a little cleaning of my own house today. What better way to start off the week than with freshly vacuumed carpets, eh? ;) Please tell me I'm not the only one who cannot spell "vacuum" without spellcheck....

   Happy last weekend of Summer! And here I am sharing an autumnal outfit. The fact of the matter is, last Wednesday was a cold and rainy day here on the coast. It actually felt like Fall! However, on Thursday it was back to sunshine. It still hasn't been as warm as before, so the next season could very well be on its way.

   Good evening, folks! I am returned from a three-day weekend getaway that included photography, fresh air, good eats, shopping and - can you guess? - buying clothes! Of course, the little vacation also had to include some outfit shots. Fashion bloggers are (almost) always ready!

   Hi all! It's that time again - the week is drawing to close and there's a new blog post to celebrate. Today's outfit has plenty of feminine flair; it includes two shades of pink! :)

   Good afternoon all! How was your weekend? Mine was good, and quite sunny. Even though yesterday was Labor Day I went to work. I've only been working one afternoon a week lately so it would have been sort of silly to take the day off. ;) 

   Hello and happy Saturday dear readers! The week is winding to a close yet again. It's been a week of work and volunteering, relaxing at home with a cold, saying a goodbye, buying a new lip color, and sunshine with friends and family. What have you been up to?

  Happy first day of September! It's sunny and warm right now, but the spiders have started to come out (*gulp*). Before we know it, summer will say farewell and autumn will take its place.  I shouldn't get ahead of myself though; You see, September 1st means something besides the end of summer. It means that... TOMORROW IS MY SECOND BLOGOVERSARY! Yay! 

   Greetings my friends! Another weekend is upon us. It's time for rest, worship, and fun. It has been quite a week for me and I've enjoyed some relaxation today! :)

  Good Tuesday my friends! This is the first Tuesday in which I've been able to stay home all day in a long time. As a matter of fact, it's the first of any  day I've been home all day in......well, I can't remember! ;)

   Happy Saturday all! :) Are you enjoying a break from the course of everyday life? Today's post is in itself off the beaten path, as far as blog posts go. You see, Firmoo was kind enough to offer me a chance to run a giveaway for a pair of their glasses! Fellow bespectacled gals, this is an opportunity for you !

   Good evening, readers! It has been a cool day in my corner of the world. The sky is foggy and the air dirty with the smoke of California's fires. There's soup on the stove and a scarf around my neck. It feels like autumn, though another month of summer has yet to be.

   Happy Saturday girls! It's a good day for fashion, isn't it? Oh right...that's most days. ;) Last Wednesday was a great day for aqua-colored fashion, specifically. Of course, in my book, most days are a a good aqua day too!

   Hello gals! How has your week been so far? Mine has been a little hectic, but I know the Lord teaches us through all experiences! :) Yesterday I had my usual babysitting job in the morning, plus another in the afternoon; the outfit featured today is what I wore for my day of childcare.

   Good Saturday to you folks! Today I would like to introduce you to the "summer giraffe" (as a child I know called it), and share a devotional. There's also a new poll on the sidebar to vote in. Scroll on, if you please. :)

   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! :)

Outfit Details: Top ~ Target; Skirt ~ Thrift or Consignment Store; Sandals ~ Handed down from friend; Necklace ~ Gift; Belt ~ Consginment or Thrift Store    Hello all!  My internet is back up and running! Now it's time for a post! :) This is being written per the request of a blogging friend who asked if I would post about putting outfits together. Oh yes I would! Read on, my friends.

         Hello all! I'll make this snappy because I'm borrowing our friends' computer. You see, our internet at home is down! I'm not sure when the problem will be fixed, so posts and comments from me may be sporadic. :( Thankfully, this evening I am able to borrow a computer and use my SD card to upload outfit photos!

   Hello all! I am here to share a little bit of fashion, scenery, and a brief updates this fine Tuesday evening. My parents and I went on a one-night trip out of town on Sunday, and I of course brought my camera. I hope you enjoy these scenes of the beautiful California coast.

    Hello ladies! It's a sunny and breezy Saturday evening in my corner of the world. For now, the house is still, but it awaits the entrance of friends for one of our birthday party game nights. We hope to soon enjoy laughter and fellowship. But for now, I blog. :)

     Hello to you, right in the midst of your July week! I hope you enjoy today's outfit, as well as some thoughts I was inspired to write. 

    Hi all! Thank you to everyone who participated it this week's blog party! You all came up with great outfits. Bloggers have the rest of today to link up HERE   so don't hesitate to come up with something last minute if you want to join in the fun. I'm also changing the rules for non-bloggers . You too have the rest of today to email an outfit , which will then be added to this post.

   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! ;)

   Are you ready to do some vintage- inspired  outfit styling? It's time for The Retro Summer Blog Party!* Let's get started. *  I published the party post momentarily to test the linkup and then reverted it to a draft before publishing my 4th of July post. This means that it showed up on my blog as older than the 4th post. Thus, I'm  re-posting  to make sure everyone can see it.

     Happy Independence Day all! It's really late for a post so I'm just going to leave you with several pictures from today's seaside photo shoot (which includes an exciting new striped top!). Hope to "see" you here at the party this week. :)

  How do you do readers? I am busy (surprised? ;) and glad to be enjoying the summer sunshine this week. Oddly enough, the cheerfully colored outfit I'm posting today did not have sun as a backdrop. Oh well! At least the photos were taken somewhere besides my house (which resulted from a really quick side-trip on the way home from a birthday party...). Enjoy the different backdrop! :)
