Outfit || Walk Between the Raindrops
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.
Today's ensemble includes a dressy tunic worn with my black boot cut pant. A magenta cardigan kept my arms warm, while punched leather Mary Janes kept my feet comfortable. Crowning the outfit is a slouchy pink beret that I crocheted a couple of years ago. Though I was a little unsure of wearing my hat to work, it gained many kind compliments. People are used to my unique fashion choices by now anyway. ;)
What have you been up to this first week of March?
Do you enjoy wearing hats?
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
In Your light we see light.
Psalm 36:7-9
That's a pretty outfit, Paige!

Thank you my friend! ^_^
DeleteLovely outfit, my friend! I love your beret...I am so impressed that you crocheted it! In vain my sister has tried to teach me the art of crochet...perhaps someday something will just click! {{smiles}} So glad to hear you and your mom are still able to spend so much time together... Thinking of you and wishing you a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Kelly-Anne
Aw, thank you muchly! :) It's funny that you say that, because I am definitely not a seamstress, but you are quite talented at sewing! I guess it's good that we are all skilled at different things!
DeleteYes, I enjoy my relationship with my Mom! <3
I love the beret! I used to try my hand at crochet...never really had the talent for it. But kudos to you! It's really cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you much! :D Haha, it's one of the only crafts I can actually do. ;)
DeleteI can't believe you made that hat, it's so cute! Nothing I ever make turns out wearable. :) When I was growing out a short hair cut, I hid my head with a hat often, but now that my hair is long I occasionally wear a plain baseball cap and that's it.
ReplyDeleteThis first week of May, I'm getting ready to go to Florida over spring break. Exciting stuff.
Thanks bunches Lauren! :) Aw, well perhaps someday it will. I rarely wear hats, and they are often too big, so it's nice to make have something homemade that fits!
DeleteOh, lovely! :D
Very cute top and sweater! :) This week we have been doing gardening ... finally! Yesterday was lovely and warm! And like British weather, today is cloudy! Haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rosalyn! :) Ooh, how lovely! :D Hehe, is it sunny there during the summer?
DeleteYes, most of the time. But we don't get a really hot summer, which is nice!
DeleteI love your beret - you are really talented.
ReplyDeleteI also like your tunic - it looks great with your black trousers. I always like to wear a tunic or long top to cover my bottom when wearing some of my tighter trousers
Thank you Rebecca! :D
DeleteThanks muchly! Yes, I too try to wear longer tops with pants.
You look so cute! I like your beret nice color and proud of you for crocheting it yourself:) it adds style to your feminine tunic. I like to wear hats especially in winter makes me feel cozy and warm. I am in the mood to Spring clean my home. The daffodils are blooming already. I cut some and put them in a vase they are so bright and yellow cheery. We enjoy taking walks on our trails too! Enjoy your weekend:) Stephanie
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks bunches Stephanie! :) Oh, how beautiful - daffodils are my favorite flower. Well, I hope you get to go out walking this spring then!:)
DeleteIt's so very nice you and your Mom find special moments through the day to be together and share a special bond that will keep you close in heart and enjoy each others company:) Stephanie
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Thanks for your sweet words! <3
DeleteLove the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D It brightens up life to wear cheery colors!
DeleteWow, this one is a new fav. (I know I am always saying that..but it is!) I am glad you and your mom eat lunch together, it can be hard to keep connected to family when you work long hours. Take care Paige, God Bless You
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Lexi! Haha...you can keep saying that as long as you want. ;) Yes, though I only work full days three times a month, it's nice to have that time in the middle of the day to reconnect with Mom.
DeleteThank you and same to you!
So cute! I like the shirt a lot - so pretty and feminine! :) And the hat!! A friend and I have been trying to crochet some hats like that, but we haven't found a good pattern yet. Where did you get your pattern?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the outfit with us, and the passage at the end of the post is such an encouraging one!!
Hey, thank you so much! :) Uh-oh...I would tell you but I can't remember, as it's been more than a year! I think I might have it printed out, but am not sure where it was online. If you want, I would be happy to email it to you.
DeleteYou're welcome and I'm glad the scripture encouraged you; It is beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your outfit, Paige! I think of you as I try to figure out what to wear to work each day...
ReplyDeleteQuite welcome! Oh, well I am glad to be an inspiration to you then. :) Perhaps someday you will share some work outfits...?
