What I Wear- Summer Again!

Well, good news! It's Summer again! Hey, I live in Montana-roll with the punches ladies! It was snowing yesterday, it was 65 degrees today-do you have a problem with that? (joking by the way!) I'm super excited, it's supposed to be 70 degrees on my birthday! Who says Friday the 13th is bad luck? I'm planning shopping in a near by town, and driving! Yes, I'm a party animal! What can I say?! I'm hoping The Buffalo Exchange is still open, it wasn't listed on their website. Instead of hitting the malls, I'll be perusing the isles of the thrift shops.  

This is my "rule breaking Monday" outfit on Wednesday! I paired two scarfs, very proud of myself!  

I'm Wearing: A White Skirt From Ross ($5) Spring-y Skirt Thrifted ($3) Green Scarf Vanity, Blue Scarf Borrowed From Mom.

Opinions on my outfit? Anything I should add? Change?

What I Wear- As 80's Style As I'm Getting!

Hello all! I want to say something very important and crucial to your well being: this is as close to the 80's fashion as I'm ever getting! I couldn't pass this shirt up yesterday at the thrift store, it was too cute! My mom thought it was weird, which translates into 'unique' in my mind. The pattern mixing on the yoke/collar part is what I love about it! Plus the colors grabbed me.

 I'm happy to say that I picked up a few skirts and shirts at the thrift shop! I'm super excited about this one skirt-you'll see it at some point! It is the most Spring-y (no, I don't think it's a word) skirt I've ever seen!

QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR CLOSET THAT RESEMBLES 80'S FASHION?

What I Wear- Cpoy-cat Blogger!

Hey everyone! This outfit was actually worn yesterday, and I'm writing this yesterday...but your reading it today..this is getting confusing! Lets simplify: I have this set to post automatically on March 19th! Much better! March 19th also happens to be my youngest sister's birthday! She'll be 11 today! Happy Birthday Patience!

I finally got around to sort of copy-catting Elaine. While I don't usually reccomend copy-catting other Bloggers, in this case its okay-its jewlery! I bought the flowers awhile ago and hadn't gotten around to making the necklace till a few days ago. basically all I did was yank the plastic pieces out of the flower's middle, cut up a piece of fabric into a necklace shape large enough to hold three flowers. Then I hot glued the flowers to the fabric. After that I glued the flowers on I hot glued some pieces of ribbon on for the fastener and 'voila! A statement necklace!

My family thinks it's weird, that's why I'm wearing it...*GRIN* JK! It's like wearing a bit of Spring around your neck! And it's just a tad bit too large, but I'm not really sure how to trim it down at this point...so I guess we'll dub this flower necklace attempt #1! 

Question: What's the most daring/trendy/crazy piece in your closet?

What I Wear- Floral And White

Here's a change, sepia photo! In the fashion world, this is called "cheating". I forgot to use my "Kiss My Face" wash and lotion this morning, the sunlight against the snow made my eyes water and squint, and my face was all red and looked like someone had beat me up. It's not really called touching it up if you just change the color, is it? Hopefully not...cause I'm doing it anyway! Here is a color photo of my outfit. I promise I'll try to get better pictures next outfit.

White Shirt Target ($3) Floral Tank Top Wal Mart ($1) White Skirt Thrifted ($3.99) Tights Herbergers ($5) Black ballet Flats Payless ($8)

I know there's snow on the ground, and I'm wearing short sleeves...but it was actually really nice outside! Spring-ish in fact! So look out world, Summer's soon! My favorite part of Summer/Spring is the flip flop stage! Gotta love 'em! So comfy and cute!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 QUESTION: What's your favorite part of Spring?
Here is some art I've been working on as well. I've been enjoying an art DVD called "Drawing realistic portraits from photographs", its given me a better understanding  of shading and I love it!

'Spring' Outfit And Japan

"There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and
great signs from heaven." Luke 21:11

The world seems crazy and upside down right now. My heart goes out to the people of Japan. Living in Montana, we don't get very many earthquakes. We got a small one about four or five years ago, and it scared me so bad. I can remember for weeks after being scared every time there was anything that sounded remotely like an earthquake. There's nothing that can compare to the feeling of the earth shaking under you. You can't go anywhere to get away from it. Last night the people of Japan were experiencing aftershock every two to five minutes! Can you imagine?! But the thing I'd like to tell all of those people in Japan? God loves them! Even in times of trouble we can know He is here. And He does love them! He loves YOU! Please know that if your reading this in Japan, I'm praying for you!
 
“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." Matthew 24:36 I know that lots of people say "God's coming back soon!" Almost every generation, but things are pointing more and more to this. Check out these verses:


"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty." 2 Timothy 3:1

"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains." Mark 13:8



"And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven" Revelation 11:13

Does this mean God is coming back today, tomorrow, next week? I have no idea! But maybe God's trying to get a hold of people's attention. Am I saying that God wanted all those people to die?! No! He loved each and every person who died. Now is the time to accept Jesus' gift of eternal life! Don't put it off till it's too late! Give Him your heart now.

How do you accept Christ?

Accept His gift of eternal life, that when you die you'll go to be in Heaven with God.

Believe that He (Jesus) died on the cross and did rise again. That He died for YOU! 

Confess that you have sinned, and ask God to forgive you.

Your prayer can be as simple, or as complex as you'd like, just talk to God! Prayer is having a conversation with God.

If you have ANY questions, or you became a Christian just now, please feel free to drop me a comment. (If you'd like your comment kept private please say so)

Springs In The Air, But I'm Still Wearing Boots!

Hello Strangers! I can't believe I've gotten so behind on Blogging! I've left hardly any comments on any ones blogs, and have been a general bad little Blogger! But pat me on the back, I put an outfit a decent outfit on today! My outfits for the past few weeks have been...horrendous to say the least. Getting dressed consisted in throwing a tee-shirt and denim skirt on and calling it quits. Every time I'd look at my closet, I saw nothing!

I've been sick for the past two and a half weeks-this is my excuse for the ugly outfits. Anyone who knows me, knows that I dress bad when I'm sick. I'm pretty much over the cold I had, except I...I...pulled something in my ribs coughing. Yep, you read that right. Coughing! I'm oh so talented, no?! Anyways, the ribs feel much better today, and I plan on doing Turbo Jam tonight. Man, I've gotten behind on my exercises! Turbo Jam is so much fun, but not when your sick. I'm super excited because I bought myself a pair of Turbo Jam glove rip offs on Amazon. They're supposed to activate 90% more muscles during Cardio, but we'll see! I had been trying really hard to eat healthier, and get 5 days a week of exercises in. However, we got sick and really, we haven't done Turbo Jam in about a month...YIKES not good! I'll probably be back to dying halfway through the program....

As you may have gathered from this photo, I did my nails! Something else I haven't done since I got sick! You know that blue nail polish at Valentines that everyone liked so much? It was still on my nails this morning, chipped and yucky looking. So I pulled out the nail polish remover, and did a french manicure! 

I won this little lovely flower in a giveaway! Isn't it lovely? You can check out her Etsy shop HERE. She has some lovely things in her shop! Among them, some super cute 40's style hats!
