What I Love Wednesday

Hi everyone,

How is your week going so far? Mine has been one of relief, since my workload for school seems to have gone down immensely, I was so frustrated after having a hard first week, but I prayed hard, and my prayer was answered! I've actually been able to relax a little.(:

Now, here are a few things I've been loving lately:

What I Wore Sunday

Hi everyone,

In the list of goals for the new year that I did a week or so ago, I mentioned that I wanted to get better at taking outfit photos so that I could do more outfit posts! Last year, when I did my first fashion week challenge, I learned something very important; less really is more. You don't need a million accessories to make a lovely outfit; something as simple as a t-shirt and jeans can look amazing. Style should come naturally, not be forced.

It was a lovely day yesterday, and perfect for taking pictures. I chose a spot with lots of green as the perfect picture-taking spot.


This outfit is incredibly comfy. I love the feel of this oversized sweater paired with my favorite maxi skirt.

Sweater: Thrifted, Maxi Skirt: Ross, Boots: Thrifted, Ring: Made by me, Necklace: A Gift

Have a lovely day!

Memories of Spring

Hi everyone,

How is your weekend going? While last week was incredibly stressful for me, this weekend has been a time to relax, unwind, and finish putting the last touches on my creative writing homework (I think I did a pretty good job creating a character that any reader will thoroughly dislike...). Then tomorrow I get back to work.(:

It was a gorgeous day today, the kind with purple clouds and spaces of clear, blue sky. I got a glimpse of the mountains and my breath caught. It's rare to see them so clearly.
It's rare to see the sun around here, actually! Especially at this time of year. It makes me wish spring would come that much sooner.

Blythe, of the wonderful blog Raindrops, is hosting a photography contest under the theme of "life." Life makes me think of spring, when all the flowers start to bloom, and the trees are decorated with fresh, green leaves. These two photos are from spring, perhaps of last year or the year before. The colors always make me happy.

I hope you enjoy them!







Have a lovely day!
