Slightly Belated Outfit Post 1/2

Hello Everyone,

I've really enjoyed looking at all the great outfits from last week. It was so much fun! I meant to do it every day, but then I got sick, and so I never took any more pictures and I didn't post the ones I did take. But better late than never, right?

This is the outfit I wore on Wednesday. I'm calling it my choir practice outfit.(:

One of the songs we're working on in choir right now is Heinrich Schutz's "The Seven Words of Christ." My friend and I have been assigned the alto solo, which is the first solo I've ever done! It makes me excited and nervous at the same time.

We're also working on sections from Handel's Messiah for Good Friday and Easter. This work is so inspirational..it makes me want to sing out.(:

Outfit Details:

Tank top with necklace - Goodwill
White shirt - Old Navy
Green Pants - Fred Meyers (The brand is GLO)
And although you can't see them in the photo....German combat boots c/o my mom.

Modest Fahion Week - My first outfit post!

I think it's been way over a month since I last posted....I feel like such a bad blogger! The only excuse I have for you is that I've been swamped with homework. Still, if I've had time to craft, I should have had time to take some pictures and blog about what I made. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to that, I guess!

Anyway, I'm back now, for awhile anyways! After going through the pain of writing a 19-page essay for my world issues class (that had better get a good grade!), I feel free again. Somewhat, anyways.

So, enough of my rambling. Over at Bramblewood Fashion they're doing a week of modest fashion posts, which I thought would be fun to participate in, since I love looking at other people's fashion posts!(: It's actually been raining all day, so I was happy for this little break to run outside and take some pictures. This outfit is comfy and simple, which is how I like it:

This is a funny pose...I think I look like I should be carrying something, haha. My sister says I look like Sarah Palin here...what do you think? Something to do with the hair...






And a final silly picture...I just had to take one of myself - my lovely sister took all the others.

Have a wonderful day!

Two Lovely Headbands

Hi everyone!

When I was trying to come up with ideas for my friends' Christmas presents, I finally decided on making a couple of headbands. I had never done any with elastic before, but I think they turned out really cute! Now I want to make one for myself!(: These were inspired by a tutorial on Alisa Burke's blog. I really loved the beads in the middle, and the idea of using ribbon. And so, almost immediately after reading her post, I made these two beauties:

Thing 1:


& Thing 2:


The glue was still wet on this one! I was so paranoid that the beads would start falling off that I really went crazy with the glue. XD

But these are so cute and simple! And you don't have to do it with elastic either...any kind of headband or hair accessory would work. I don't really care for elastic headbands because they always slip off of my head, no matter how tight or loose they are, even if they do look very cute.

Have a lovely day!
