Sunday Style // Parisian Peach

o u t f i t | stretch lace blouse // thrifted | brown tank top // thrifted {Chadwicks} | Parisian print skirt // thrifted | brown flats // thrifted | necklace // gifted

This outfit strikes me as having a vintage 20s vibe to it.  It's the dropped waist coupled with the pleated skirt, I think.  Last week two of my friends and I went thrifting.  And I really hit the jackpot this time, the lace blouse and brown tank being two of my many finds.  Most of the stores we shopped were having sales, too. Thrifting is already awesome, but when everything is also on sale??  Totes awesome!!

I'm bringing home another critter this week!  Any guesses as to what kind of animal my new friend is?

Happy Trails!

p.s.

here's a hint for you: it doesn't have hooves.

I fell in love with the print on this skirt the instant I saw it.  It reminds me of spring and sidewalk cafes and Paris.  And it's pleated.  I'm a sucker for knee length pleated skirts.  I've been intentionally incorporating more peachy pinks into my wardrobe, so you'll be seeing that color a lot this year.  Also loving the sleeves and yoke on this blouse.  So adorable.  I love thrifting way to much. *grin*

I don't know that any fathers read my blog but if you're a father (and even if you're not) Happy Fathers Day!  I made my daddy cheesecake and fixed one of his favorite dinners for him.  The fact that it was a no bake box mix cheesecake makes no difference - besides, he's the one who brought it home.  Hard to miss a hint like that.  *smile*
Question: What did you do to make your dad's day special?  I want to know!

Mauve Lace

While I'm not a fashion blogger by any stretch of the imagination, I think it's fun to share an outfit every once in a while.  I know I find it inspiring to see what my bloggy friends are wearing, and I'm guessing you do to. *smile*  So, here's what I wore to church today...

| o u t f i t |

jean jacket {thrifted}

embellished stretch lace blouse {thrifted}

denim skirt {Chadwicks}

black flats {Fred Meyer}

This is the first time I wore this blouse, and I absolutely love it!  Very comfortable and feminine, I can dress it up or down, and I love the color.  I decided to go a bit more casual today by wearing a denim skirt and jean jacket.  Thanks for telling me I needed to buy that blouse, Kellie dear!  You were right, as always. :)

I hope you all had a blessed Sunday!  Today's sermon at church was titled "The Ministry of Public Worship".  We read from 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul is talking about speaking in tongues.  The focus was on what is edifying for the worshiper and what is edifying to the entire body.  It was really good!  I love our church so much.  There's so much emphasis on loving one another, and that's very rare these days.

During the sermon I entertained my favorite little girls, Annie and Ruth, by making flowers, hearts, and butterflies out of pipe-cleaners.  My status as Master Pipe-Cleaner Artist Extraordinaire is secure thus far. ;)

Happy Trails, y'all!

Still no new lambs.  I'm trying to shake the feeling that my ewes are doing this to irritate me on purpose. ;)

It's awesome.

It's awesome...when your dad buys your mom flowers.

It's awesome...that he always plops them haphazardly into a vase.

It's awesome...because he knows I'll come along and arrange them properly for him.

It's awesome...learning more about your Great Great Grandmother Lucy on your mom's side.  She lived on a ranch in California in the early 1900s and was apparently a bit of a pioneer as she wore pants when working on the ranch and even had a drivers license, neither of which were typical for women in those days.

It's awesome...that that ranch in California is still owned by the family (my mom, her siblings, and their cousins all own shares), although it's not a working ranch anymore.  Sadly, it's quite rundown.  Last time I was there (which had to be about 10 years ago) the ranch house was in complete disrepair and inhabited only by mice and bats.  Perhaps needless to say, we camped in an RV and a tent. ;)

It's awesome...going through the book It's {Not That} Complicated by Anna Sophia & Elizabeth Botkin with a group of girls at church.  Since I'm older, a lot of the topics and ideas are ones I'm already familiar with, but I'm really being blessed through our study.  It's great getting to share thoughts with the girls!

It's awesome...getting two new (to me) colors of Essie nail polish in the mail.  I decided to try Mint Candy Apple (a beautiful minty color with just a hint of blue) and St. Lucia Lilac (a lovely pale lilac).  I'm wearing the lilac right now and I love it! Sometimes, you just need a little something to boost your spirits during the months right before spring. :)

It's awesome...watching one of the latest episodes of LBD.  Darcy in an afro wig?!  Ahahahahaha!!  LOVE!!!

It's awesome...coming home from a thrifting expedition with some super cute "new" clothes.  I love thrifting with friends!

It's awesome...buying the first two records for my vintage record collection.  Eeep!!!  I found a Frank Sinatra record and a Pat Boone record at the antique store the other day for about $5 each.  So, so excited!  I can't wait to listen to them!  And who knows when that will be since I don't own a turntable.

It's awesome...finally deciding to sign up for Netflix and take advantage of their month long free trial. Wish I could have it all the time!  Maybe someday when I actually have a "real" job. ;)

It's awesome...turning in my job application at the florist shop.  And now...we wait.

It's awesome...enjoying each day the Lord gives me.  I may not always be as joyful as I should be, but He has blessed me beyond what I deserve.  I thank Him for each day He gives me and for each person He has put in my life.

It's awesome...when your church puts such emphasis on unity within the body of Christ.  It really feels and functions like a family.  Everyone really and truly cares about everyone else.   And our potlucks are the best ever.  Just sayin'.

Question: What are some of the awesome things in your life?  I want to know!

Kellie's 3rd annual Literary Heroine Blog Party is coming up!  Don't miss the fun! :)
