What I Wear-Cheery Summer Attire

Hey readers! I realized a few days ago, that I haven't posted an outfit in quite awhile! So here is my outfit today!

I actually have quite a few things to update all of you on! I got my Learner's License! Scary! : ) The first time my little sister came in the car while I was driving, she came out with her bike helmet on and said "I'm ready to go!" LOL! Siblings.....*shakes head*

I'd really appreciate prayer this next week, I will be going to the dentist to have my wisdom teeth out. The dentist that is pulling my teeth is the kind who tells you everything that could happen. So I'm a little freaked out...

The DownPour Festival starts next Friday! So excited and ready for a mini vacation.

I saw this dress in JcPenney's and fell in love with it! I was surprised at how long it was, plus the arm holes are decent without a shirt. I still feel odd without sleeves, so I paired today's outfit with a low cut tee shirt. I find its very rare to be able to buy long-ish dresses at retail stores! Most are above the knee, or shorter. At the knee is as short as my skirts get, and even then its a bit short.

On a scale of 1-10 please rate the pictures in this post by leaving a comment.

Fashion Observations From An Amature- The 80's Flashback

I've decided to do a few posts of "observations" in fashion. Believe me when I say "I'm no fashion expert!" and that I have no idea if my observations are correct, or just a bunch of rambelings!


But if you ask me, be aware that the following are on the rise:

80's

60's

40's

20's

I suppose they're going for a "fashion by the 2's?" LOL!

I've always heard that fashion recycles, but since I'm only 16, I've not yet experienced this for myself. But its so true!

                             I'll start out with the 80's:

Foofy, to the sky hair, metallic clothing, shoulder pads and

Princess Di. My sister and I have been watching 21 Jumpstreet, OH MY GOODNESS! We're totally repeating the 80's fashions!

Everything from aviatar glasses to fedoras and ripped jeans are back! Not to mention high waisted jeans.

My personal thoughts, leave the 80's where they are. YUCK!  Aviater glasses I can handle, I can even handle the high waisted jeans....but shoulder pads? Please don't bring them back!

As you can see from the color wheel I've created; neons, pastels, brights and neautrals are all "in" I could care less for yellow, but.....I've seen it alot.

Black, white and brown will always be "in", they're functional and lovely.

-How to be fashionable smart about the latest trends-

Don't go out right this minute and buy every neon colored thing you can find, take your time! Buy only things that will ride out the fashion trends ups and downs. Use this rule when buying; Am I going to wear this two months from now? Even if it isn't in style? If you answer "Yes!" Buy it, but otherwise, leave it for some other sucker! I'm not saying you should only wear black, but be careful about what you buy.

It doesn't matter what everyone else is wearing, you wear what you want to wear! You can make or break your outfit. Put a smile on your face, and even the most dull outfit becomes stunning. Wear your clothes with confidence, and don't let the world dictate to you who and what you should be.

The most important rules for dressing:

1. 
   
   Is my outfit modest?
2. 
   
   Do I love it?
3. 
   
   And the most important of all, does my outfit glorify God? Or me?

My advice to you; roll with the fashion punches. Don't get swept up in being "in" especially if it means wearing shoulder pads one day... : )> If I find any of you wearing shoulder pads tomorrow I'll scream! : )
