Frilly 50's

Hi Friends,

Love this outfit! It is so fun & happy.....don't know of a better way to explain it. This blue polkadot dress was bought for my engagement pictures....but was a GREAT investment. I just love navy polkadots and you can wear it with so many solid colors: red, turquoise, peach, yellow...the list goes on.

Last Sunday I paired it with my ruffled turquoise sweater to make it a little warmer. The polka dot & turquoise flower pulled everything together making it matchy matchy. The necklace I traded on a German online sale and actually has floral material weaved in it.

The weather has been nice and warm this past week......but you can see it....fall is here!

Feminine & Modest Wedding Dress

Hi Ladies,

I can't believe it's been 3+ months since I posted on Feminine Modesty! It's been a crazy summer: moving Patrick's family, wedding preparation, site seeing in Germany with US. friends...getting married, honeymoon, moving, teaching.... I am still busy & we don't even have internet yet....but then I hope to be posting more regular again!

To the wedding dress:
I found the dress online....about 4 years ago actually. I sadly cannot find the website anymore but they had lots of different styles and prices. I loved how my dress was modest & didn't need to be changed. I just needed to have it sized a little smaller to fit perfectly.

A Burst of Spring...in Summer

So much to my goal of showing you my mix and match outfits I wear from my suitcase.....I am happy to finally have internet and do some wedding planning after 3 weeks of no internet!! And yeah....getting outfit pictures are hard to get when you are not in a normal schedule.

But I quickly grabbed Patrick Sunday afternoon an had him take some outfit pictures....before I took a much needed nap!

The top I got as a birthday gift....the skirt I found at the thrift store for $2....the shoes I brought as well as the jewelry.

In between busy moving days I've been able to visit the local thrift store....it is pretty small but they always are getting new stuff and their prices are pretty good.... I love thrift shopping!

Do you?

Outfit on the Move

Business follows me everywhere....even in my travels. Patrick's family is moving, so there is a lot of packing, boxing, moving things and cleaning.....

I chose this comfortable outfit I chose today for boxing and moving... I'll be changing tonight for church.

The shirt is something I packed....the skirt is a actually a sun dress we found on sale in FL. It's light and flowy- perfect for sitting on the floor and crawling in a truck.

Also loving my pulled back curly hair.....kind of a cute messy look. Perfect for running around. ☺
