Striped Blue Shirt Thrifted ($3.99) Black Sleeves Wal Mart ($5) Blue Jean Skirt Thrifted ($3.99) Black Combat Boots Wal Mart (borrowed)

What I Wear- Pink Is The New Black! Wanna Know Why? Cause I Say So!

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

Yes, you heard it from me! Pink is the new black! Just cause I say so! Ha!Ha! I'm not usually a 'pink person' but I couldn't pass this skirt up! Its really good quality, and has a lining. Its also like a soft wool, so its really warm. It fits me perfectly! I think it could be about an inch longer, but other than that I love it!

The striped shirt is also a new find! I love the fit, and Burgundy stripes and accents! Elaine has been encouraging her readers to 'break the rules'-of clothing that is-so this is me breaking the rules! Can you tell what rule I'm breaking? The boots! They're snow boots, and normally I wouldn't wear them with skirts. But I think they do pretty well with this outfit!

QUESTION: WHATS YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY TRADITION?

Magazines I Write For, Please Check Them Out!

Hello ladies!
I've been meaning to post about the magazine I write for, but never got around to it!
But now I have a second magazine I'll be writing for! Jessica (from Girlz 4 Christ) emailed me and asked me to help write the magazine! I'm very excited to see where both these magazines will go. You never know when what starts as a small magazine could turn into an amazing ministry for God!

I'm currently a regular columnist for both these ladies' magazines. I write themed articles for Raquel's Visions Of Virtue Magazine, and have been writing for (I believe) two issues. So I haven't been doing this long. I hope to grow my writing abilities, while at the same time supporting ministries I believe in.

Visions Of Virtue Magazine-
This is an actual printed magazine, and I would love if all of you were to subscribe to it! Its a very reasonable price-$12 for 6 issues. Be sure to let Raquel know I sent you! (Since I haven't been the best for PR..*clears throat)

And the new magazine I will be writing for next year! (I know that sounds like a long time away, but really it isn't!)
Girlz 4 Christ Magazine
You can subscribe for free, or if you feel led- a $5 donation.

What I Wear- Kosher Casual Skirt!

I'm very honored to be reviewing Kosher Casual's fold over waist skirt! I'm not doing a sell job on you here, it really is quite comfortable! I can honestly say it will become a favorite skirt for me! With a flattering cut, comfy fabric (a combination of like excercise pants and slinky fabric), how can you go wrong? I love the length (just a few inches below the knee) and of course the color-I'm a sucker for black! In addition to the lovely skirt I received another surprise-the packege came from Israel! The labels were in another language! So cool for me, as it was like getting a little piece of culture from across the world. The funny things is, by the dates on the packege, it took less time to get from Israel to Montana, than it does to ship from Montana to Florida! Yep...pretty sad!

What I Wear- How To Wear Bold Colored Tights

"Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion."

                                                                                              Proverbs 11:22

Hey everyone! Well Thanksgiving is over, and on toward CHRISTmas! I can't believe that its nearly December!

(A Reminder: The BOGO 50% on Demures ends Dec 1!)

I've been strangely absent from Blog world for a few reasons, not the least being that I'm very uninspired! My clothes have been very boring lately, and my poor readers have received the brunt of it! Basically, I put my hair in a ponytail and slip a shirt and blue jean skirt on and call it a day! While that isn't awful in and of itself, seeing that outfit on someones blog over, and over, and over, and over, is quite maddening! Plus very uninspiring for my readers as well! But I don't think that I'm the only one-nobody else is blogging outfits either!- and yes, I'm blaming shifting! Ha! Ha! Anyways...today's outfit isn't anything special. Just a laid back casual outfit. I did have my Mary Janes out, but they dissapeard *spooky music* So these will have to do. Just my regular Payless fashion!

What I Wear-

Long sleeve shirt- Wal Mart $5

Skirt- Thrifted Maurices $3.99

Blue Colored Tights- Herbegers $2

Shoes-Payless $??

Necklace-Claires $1

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU WEAR BOLD TIGHTS? HOW WAS YOUR THANKSGIVING?

What I Wear- Thanksgiving

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!"

                                                                                                     Psalm 107:1

Hey everyone, Happy Thanksgiving! I've resolved that today, I will not be gluttonous! So to throw off the shackles-cool word huh?-of glutton I've worn this outfit. Or something like that! *Wink* Its gotten too cold to go outside and take pictures-though I hope to go freeze myself maybe tomorrow for a picture. But cozy was more apealing than freezing! Its supposed to be warming up, last night was -18 last I looked. Pretty cold! Anyway, the smell of stuffing is making me HUNGRY! Waiting for company to show up so we can eat! Lol!

So I've noticed with the new stats that I have a lot of readers outside the US! So I thought I'd share what Thanksgiving looks like:

Our traditions for Thanksgiving aren't very exciting but most traditions aren't!

We have turkey (of course!)stuffing, homemade rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy. We usually invite a few families over, but very rarely ever have family from out of state. My dad watches 'his' team (the Cowboys) on TV. I know! Please! Don't mock me! The sins of the Father...*sigh*

Thanksgiving is also a time to well...give thanks! Here is Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation which pretty much sums up why we have Thanksgiving.

                                                                                                 

 "Washington, D.C. October 3, 1863By the President of the United States of America.

A Proclamation.
The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.


In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth.


By the President: Abraham Lincoln

What I Wear- Country Girl (Knee Length Blue Jeans Skirt)

Hey everyone! Well, once again I'm in love with my skirt! I bought this knee length skirt for $2.50 yesterday! I couldn't pass it up! Well I cooooouuullldd have...but you know!? I decided that this skirt was a good buy, I buy way too many patterned skirts; and never wear them! Anyone in the market for patterned skirts?!  

I took pictures with this outfit, and decided I didn't like them. I then went into the house and put on this belt and changed my hair...I like the results much better! The belt gives it a more "Christy" feel.

WHICH DEMURE FROM MY SHOP IS YOUR FAVORITE?

What I Wear- Repurposing/Recycling Clothes To Make The Modest!

Hey everyone! My latest side project (aside from my DEMURES) is this skirt! I love the way it came out! The vintage feel of the fabric inspired me. It was originally a strapless shirt which was cute; unfortunately my mom and I decided (after the tags were off!ahhh!) that it wasn't appropriate to wear. So thus the former shirt was ripped, un-done and stitched up to create this skirt!

What I Wear-

Black shirt: Herbegers

Belt: Maurices

Demure: made by me

Skirt: Repurposed

Boots: Maurices

Beret: Claires

White Tights: Herbergers
