What I Wear-Earth Tones And An Owl

I'm Wearing: Brown Skirt-Gift (Maurices brand), Army Green Shirt-Thrifted $2.99, Gladiator Sandals-Payless ($?) Owl necklace (hand me down)

I can't believe that DownPour is next week! I'm so excited, I have so much fun every year! It's totally worth braving the chance of rain and cold weather! I'm very into music, love, love, love it! I could literally listen to music all day and not get sick of it. I also love playing music, which kind of goes hand-in-hand. 

I'm wearing my trusty brown skirt which I wore HERE and HERE.  It's a super versatile skirt, I actually got it as a gift! Free too, how can you not like this skirt?! 

I did Sunday school this week at church, I was reading the Bible story about Adam and Eve and one of the little boys (I think he's 3 or 4) "Tasha, why did Eve eat the apple?! God told her no!" Too cute! I know lots of people don't like doing Sunday School (for whatever reason), but I don't mind. I've always enjoyed kids! I was the girl who played with dolls till she was 13-I'm not even sure most girls play with dolls anymore! I used to be obsessed with my baby dolls-even had a pretend husband (his name was Thomas Brown) I bossed around! : ) Although I went by Nicole Brown back then...yes. Strange but true. And now I have no idea how I got on this subject, is this TMI?! Okay, now that I've said a ton, but not really anything and talked in circles...

What I Wear-How To Wear Jeggings Modestly

I decided to cut the photos down to only two. Do you prefer only 1 or 2, or 4-7? I'm also happy to announce that I've reached 215 followers! Yay!

I'm wearing: White Lace Cami Boss Wear ($6) Black Thrifted Cardigan ($3) Vanity Skirt ($10) Kmart Jeggings ($5) (note to self, need to trim bangs!)

So I've had a 'creative burst'. I made my fur vest! What do you think? I lined the inside with old blue jean fabric from discarded jeans. It came out exactly as I wanted it to! I also have a confession...I modeled this off of a vest that a girl on Good Luck Charlie (a Disney tv show) wore. I know...lame...But in my defense, I couldn't find one I liked in stores, so you make it right?! My next project is going to be a flared 40's/50's style skirt. I also have a TON of fur left over, any ideas of what I could use it for, ladies?  

QUESTION: What do YOU think I should sew next? Anything you'd like to see a tutorial on?

What I Wear- "The Rain In Spain, Stays Mainly In The Plains..."

Hey everyone! I found this shirt a while back. It has Audrey Hepburn on the front! How cool is that?! I didn't even know they made Audrey Hepburn tee shirts! Sorry ladies, but I'm in a maxi dress...again. It's just so darn comfy! I can't help myself. Plus, grey and black, what other colors are that versatile? Plus, I'm wearing an Audrey Hepburn tee shirt, and the maxi dress screams 'Audrey!' No? And yes, I'm on a first name basis with the famous actress-who also happens to be dead by the way. 

I'm trying to figure out what exactly I need in my closet to stretch the amount of outfit mixes. My conclusion?

1. Versatile Skirt-goes with everything and doesn't need any particular colored shirt to go with it. 
2. A White Shirt-that fits good and isn't too sheer (I guess that's almost impossible)
3. Plain shirts that fit well. 
4. ? This is where you come in! Tell me an essential item!

I think I should tell you, I'm not being creative with my hair...it's just greasy! Sorry to disappoint you!

Ever heard of Tea Tree oil? I hope so! I've been using it faithfully, and not picking my pimples, and their starting to finally clear up! Here are some things I've learned-if you struggling with acne that is-that might help you:

• Don't pick 'em! It takes 2-3 times longer for the pimple to go away if you pick it.
• Toothpaste works short term. Toothpaste may make the pimple smaller, but the next day it will be red and irritated (I'm guessing from something in the toothpaste, mint scent perhaps?)
• Wash morning and evening! This really helps, but be faithful about it!
• Apply diluted tea tree oil to your acne prone areas with a cotton ball.
• HYDRATE! This is the most important of them all! It seems nutty, but if I don't put lotion on my face after washing, it gets super red! It never feels dry, and it doesn't look dry, but it super..super..super..super red! So ALWAYS use lotion on your face. 
• Natural. This one is just a personal thing, I don't like to use chemical laden things on my face. I use Kiss My Face, and Alba. Yes, they're sort of expensive, but I found this website that has a bunch of natural stuff that is at a discounted price! Check out the website here: Vita Cost  By the way-and I need to buy some more-the day after (I'm not joking!) I used the Kiss my face lotion and face wash, my forehead was completely clear of pimples! They weren't very large, but still! I was impressed.
• Alba Face And Body Wash- this stuff is awesome! It cleared up the acne I had on my shoulders!
• Disclaimer: I'm not getting any money for telling you about this product, so don't worry about it being a lie. It may not work for you, but it DID work for me! : )

What I'm wearing: Pink Cardigan from Vanity ($2) Black Audrey Hepburn Tee shirt ($3) Grey Maxi Dress ($4) Gladiator Sandals (borrowed from Melissa)

QUESTION: What's your 'got to' hairstyle when your hair is greasy?

What I Wear- Plaid 80's Maxi

Plaid. 80's Style. Maxi. Enough said? Weird combination, I know! But I actually like how it came out. I've been frustrated by my outfits lately. Winter clothes, I've got plenty of them. Summer clothes? What's Summer clothes? Oh yeah! I remember Summer now! Warm calm days, a gentle breeze caressing the trees. The sunlight warming my face. It's seriously like that outside! Finally! Summer has come! But back to what I was saying, Summer requires extra creativity to be comfortable, yet still remain modest. This time of year is when the short, short, short, shorts, mini skirts and various other things I don't care to mention, come out. What's a girl to do? Want to know a secret? Seriously, this a deep, dark scary, well kept secret! Ready? Are you sure? Okay...SKIRTS ARE COOLER THAN SHORTS! Yes! I've exposed the well kept secret for an entire generation! 

No, but seriously, skirts are so much cooler (in the literal sense of the word as well as the other). Shorts are tight, and if you sweat, become quite sticky. Versus skirts which are way better and are so much lighter and air-ier (is that a word?).  So why not try skirts this Summer? Your not required to buy a billion of them, one will do. I encourage you just to try it, you might like skirts! I used to wear pants every single day, and I can honestly say that skirts are much better! So anyway, skirt lecture over!

 So I have to confess something. I'm a habitual copycat. Yep, that's me. Elaine and Kari wore maxi dresses on their two latest posts, why not me?! So why don't we all flood Bloggy world with maxi dresses? Makes logical sense, right? (That's more of my crazy logic in case you didn't know).

QUESTION: Do you own a skirt?

What I Wear- Casual

Hey everyone! Today my other sister joined me! You can see her outfit below at the bottom of the post. I recently ordered online from Pasun, they were having some very good sales! I got most of the shirts for under $5! So I was very excited! 

I have some very exciting news! I will be writing and helping out with the new Inspire online magazine! Which should be a fun experience. 

I had to pair this shirt with a white tank top, just because it is too sheer to wear by itself.

I got this super cute necklace (attached to a white tank top) and I love it! I've been thinking, I've seen some people online wearing necklaces like these (they're called bibs!) only they have silk flowers on them!
