What I Wear-Snow And Closet Switching Sisters!

Yes, the beautiful white background is back! I can't say I'm glad to see it, honestly I was enjoying the warm weather! (or at least my definition of warm weather!). However, as some of you may know, I decided that this year I was going to try to be happy with whatever the weather is, be it sunshine and warmth or sunshine and cold! I do have to admit that it makes a pretty darn good background. Not too distracting, yet interesting  in it's own way! I had an interesting experience coming home, almost did a 180 on a hill! Yikes! 

During my workouts I wear a heart monitor and so does my older sister, we frequently push each other by asking what the other one's heart rate is at-my younger sister asked me after fish-tailing 4-5 times: "What's your heart rate at now Tasha?!" Definitely thankful that God is in control and not me! 

I'm Wearing:

Brown Shirt-Thrifted $3

Scarf-Claire's $4

Skirt-Hand-me-down

Tights-?

Boots-Go Jane $20

Know how I said I was going through my closet? Well my younger sister Patience decided to as well...bad idea. We got rid of quite a bit, however we also exchanged quite a few items! It was mostly PATIENCE "Hey, I don't want this-do you?" ME: "Um...YES!" ME: "I never wear this, do you want it?" PATIENCE: "AHHH!! YES! Stop! I can't take any more, we're just switching them from my side to yours!" It did turn out okay I only ended up taking a few things and got rid of quite a few things that don't fit anymore. Believe me, closet purging is well worth the effort! 

QUESTION: When was the last time you went through your clothes to get rid of some?

"Zig Zag Purple" 12 Days Of Modest Fashion Day-8

I'm Wearing: Purple Thrifted Zig-Zag Sweater Dress, Modesty 4 Me Cami, Target Jeggings, Go Jane boots,

Black Ruffle scarf Payless Shoe Source, Black Belt (came with dress).  

Today is day eight of the 12 days of modest fashion event! I'm thrilled with the turn out (as many as 14 but only as few as 7!). Fantastic!

I picked this dress up at the thrift store the other day. I really like that it's sweater fabric, yet flattering. Most sweaters don't look very good on me-even though I wear them occasionally. The dress has see-through fabric so I paired it with my Modesty 4 Me cami and jeggings. I'm pleased with this outfit, lately I haven't been very happy with the finished products that come out of my closet. Un-inspired, I suppose.

What I Wear-Mom's Scarf

The best thing about having a mom and sister(s)? Being able to borrow clothes! Mom insisted I share the fact that the scarf was stolen from her with...the...tags..still on...yep. In my defense the scarf has been hanging on the wall untouched for several months! Who wouldn't listen to scarf pleading for styling?!

So I realized sometime yesterday that I've missed like 3 Feminine Fridays! I'm so sorry! But rest assured, the Feminine Friday post is scheduled and ready to post at 7 AM! On side note, the new Blogger ROCKS!You can actually have enough space to type and see photos! Try it out and let me know what you think!

I'm Wearing: Purple Vanity Shirt ($5) Scarf borrowed. White Thrifted Skirt ($3) Black Thrifted Shrug ($3)

QUESTION: Will you be participating in this weeks Feminine Friday? Why or why not?

What I Wear- Vintage Floral Skirt And Eggshells

Eggshells, beating around the bush, putting it delicately -how many ways can you say keeping your mouth shut?! People that have known me for awhile will know I'm...bold. Blunt. I don't like to dance around subjects, if someone's doing something that I know is wrong, I'm not just going to keep my mouth shut and let them keep doing it. Yes, certain situations call for closing your mouth. But why do we feel we can't tell people what's on our minds? I think most of the time, we don't want to come off as being "judgmental". It's true isn't it? We want to be the "open minded" Christians. But does open minded mean we've abandoned everything we believe-everything the Bible says-just so we don't appear judgmental?!

A lot of the time, we put up a front. Like we have it all together, like we never make mistakes. Why can't we just be honest with one another and say "Hey. I'm really struggling. I don't have everything together!" Being a blunt person doesn't always make you popular, in fact it can make you very unpopular! But the truth is always best.

I want to make it clear, I'm not talking about saying whatever your thinking. Saying things in love is the key! Words can be helpful, or hurtful, you choose. Instead of saying "Wow, little sister! That's the ugliest outfit I've ever seen!" you could offer to help her pick out an outfit, and say something like "I really like that shirt, but I think it might look better with another skirt. Like this one would look really cute!" See what I mean? If you feel the need to say something, don't just close your mouth! Figure out a nice way to say it, and proceed with caution! 

The Conclusion to this sermon? Don't walk on eggshells, and be careful of how, and what your saying to someone.

What I Wear- Finally Back!

Well, I'm finally back from my 10 day trip! I can't believe I haven't posted in 15 days. You can see what I was up to in Colorado tomorrow. I took about a billion photos, so it's taking forever to load!

 My closet is slightly ravaged after the trip-I have like three shirts hanging in my closet. This shirt I pulled out of my luggage, the only one I didn't wear. My bangs look awful in these pictures because I'd just hopped out of the shower and realized I hadn't taken an outfit photo in forever! Thus, what you see is what you get.

You all are amazing followers! I now have 198 followers! I'm super excited to 'meet' all of you, and I look forward to hearing from all of you via comments. I'll try very hard to take outfit pictures soon (these are from yesterday). Just so all of you know, Summer is here in Montana! It's supposed to be 86 deg. today! YIKES! The land of extremes! Going from 56 deg. to 86 deg. is weird, but I'm looking forward to enjoying my Summer. Hopefully planting a garden! More on this later...   

What I'm Wearing- Black Shirt PacSun, Scarf Plato's Closet, Khaki skirt Goodwill.

I have a ton of stuff to catch up on, so I must leave you with this:

Tell me 1 interesting fact about you!

What I Wear- Maxi Dress Fashion

Okay, don't freak out! TWO OUTFIT POSTS IN A ROW! WOW! No, I don't think the world is coming to an end. I'm just a super cool Blogger! Right? Perhaps not since I lost two followers...*sniff*sniff* (lonely sad voice) where are you....?-joking!

I tried something new with my hair (transalted copying Elaine) with my own twist on it. I have this funny thing where I can't follow instructions -actually it's not very funny, it drives several family members crazy. Seriously, it's bad! I have a hard time, it's like the instructions are written in a differnet language! Verbal instructions? No problem! Bring it on! Show me how to do? Ultimate! Write it down for me...umm...I'm busy!

 I've never tried before, but I want to grow my hair out like past my hips, and cut off the 12" and send it to locks of love. (random thoughts are my trademark)

What I Wear- Polka Dots And "Spring"

It's Spring, really?! Could have fooled me! I apologize for not having gotten an outfit post together for awhile! I put outfits togther, started to do my hair, by the time I was ready to get my picture taken it was snowing so bad I couldn't bring myself to go outside. It isn't acummulating to much, but it's snowing off and on on throughout the day. Which stinks, because it's muddy underneath the snow now! Everyone who has perspiration pouring down their faces, and sweat marks under their arms may laugh, but no one else! Everyone else can run off to their mediocre lives full of Spring whilst I romp through the snow. (Yes, I'm in a poetic mood)

________________________________________________________________________________

We stopped by (of all places) Quality Supply, and I picked up two maxi dresses for $4 each! A steal! One black, one grey. I thought it would be fun to ask how you girls would style them? They're halter tops (which I'll be wearing a shirt under of course!)

What I Wear- Sunshine On My Face Makes Me Smile! And O.C.T Challenge!

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ..."

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

Currently 43 deg. and loving it! I almost melted when I felt the sunshine hit my back! Sunshine, isn't it a lovely thing?! Okay, enough of my  phsyco-path rambling! I just finished making this scarf, and I must say I'm loving it! My current obsession is crocheting! Since I have dial up (I know, I know, come out of the dark ages right?!) I found out that when I have an especially time consuming page to load, I get my crocheting out! I'm working on a chunky pink beanie as of right now. 

Anyone who truely knows me, knows that I like to have a bazillion and one projects going at once. These may include-but are not limited to-blogging, reading, writing, crocheting, knitting, beading, macrame', sewing, fashion, art, drawing, sketching painting...and I'll end the list here as I know you probably don't really want to know everything I like to do!

Long Sleeve Black Herbergers Shirt-$8

Thrifted Jcrew Plaid Skirt-$3.99

Wal Mart Tights-$5

Handmade Blue Scarf

Vintage Broach

QUESTION: WHAT CRAFT DO YOU ENJOY? (Can be Blogging too)

What I Wear- Emma Turquoise Regency Dress From Ross

Two 'What I Wear Posts' in a row?! Yeah, don't get used to it! Its a fluke...

I'm just hanging around the house today, but I went ahead and wore this outfit anyway. I was debating about wether or not I should wear it, since I was hanging around the house, the conclusion? Why not! I can look nice for just me-...and my readers..-can't I? Oh yeah, noticing anything different? My hairs clean! For whatever reason, its seems like I've been doing nothing but being behind for the past two weeks! No idea why...

I'm making pizza tonight, as we are having a 'family night'. Family night at my house consists of pizza, a game, or maybe a movie. Shanghai is the official Atkerson card game, seriously I grew up watching the adults play this game! It was a coming of age when I got to finally play the game myself! Of course its a game of strategy, and I stink at it... but I'm okay with that! "REAL" Atkersons can get slightly mean with the rules...for example...they don't let 5 year olds get away with drawing a card at the wrong time-no do-overs! But the game has gotten slightly less violent...or competitive...or ridiculous ...or whatever....

Naw, I'm just pulling your leg-kind of.

What I Wear- Pink ♥ Fall Colors

Hey everyone, well today's post has taken me awhile to get up! I took the photos this morning, but haven't had time since! I had to clean the bathroom, do the dishwasher, and I helped with Dinner! Melissa and I cooked biscuits and gravy, hasbrowns and  turkey sausauge. Want a confession? I hate those popping biscuit cans! I'm not joking, they scare me to death! I always have someone else do them for me! So if I'm 80 and in my own house, I'll still be calling my brother to open the cans for me! LOL! Yeah, I know, sad...I can't help it! They've scared me ever since I was a little girl! Today's outfit is my first "Fall". It was a bit chilly outside today, too cold for flip flops *sniff* *sniff* waaaa....I really hate wearing shoes! I would run around barefoot 24/7 if I was allowed to!
