Striped Woods

Last week I took a trip to the woods with my first grade. It was our first field trip and they all did very good. I am very proud of them and cannot wait to do a field trip again.

Saying all of this to tell you why I chose this outfit. It's a casual outfit for me....don't wear it often but was perfect for my trip. Did a bit of pattern mixing with my scarf and Tee. Wore my navy jacket in the morning until it started getting pretty hot. We've been having pretty warm weather the last few days....cooling down again though.

Love my new mirror in the entry way......

Would you wear this outfit for a hike in the woods?

Royal Maxima

Wore this outfit yesterday....and while we were waiting to be picked up for church I had Patrick take a picture of my outfit.

I got this new maxi last week on sale....$16. I normally don't spend money on clothes but I want to get more solid maxis in my closet and this was a start. I have a tank top with that same royal blue which made two of my first graders ask if it was a dress....nope....it's a skirt. lol This maxi is VERY long though. I see myself cutting a few inches off in the future. I was getting stuck on my shoes, chairs and what not.

The blouse was gifted to me about 4 years ago.... The shoes I got last summer and I wore them ALL THE TIME....and they are still sooo comfortable. I wear a lot of white and these sanguine covered boat shoes are just cute and comfortable. Payless....my favorite shoe store.

What's your favorite place to get shoes?

Liebster Award // 10 Things about me.

I was nominated by Emily from "Fearfully Wonderfully Me" to recieve the Liebster Award. It makes me happy.....I've recieved the Liebster Award once or twice before but did not have to time to answer questions... and since I have some extra time today and I always love reading people's answers....here we go.

 1. What’s your favorite Bible verse (or life verse)?
This is a hard one. I don't have one verse that I like....I have several verses that are special to me depending on how I feel and what memory they are connected too. One verse that still inspires me is:

 "Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands." 

Proverbs 14:1

I talk about why I like this verse in this old video.

 2. Are you right or left handed?
I am right handed

My husband is left handed.....which means we can eat AND hold hands at the same time. lol

 3. Last song you listened to? 
Oh....um....A song by "Sound Doctrine": The Shelter of His Blood

 4. Lipstick, lip gloss, or neither? 
Lipstick!!! Love my 24h Super Stay from Maybelline

5. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? 
Alaska! My biggest dream....love rustic beauty. ☺

6. If God dropped $100 from heaven, what would you do with it? 
Tithe and then use it for my household....

7. What has been the most surprising thing (so far) about becoming a blogger? 
It's hard work! Planning on making a business with my "Blue Birdhouse" blog. Feminine Modesty is my just for fun blog.... ☺ Love all of you ladies and your support!

8. What’s your favorite season? 
Summer!! I love warm weather....I am always freezing. This girl knows how to layer.

 9. Cats or dogs? 
Dogs!! I was crazy about dog as a kid/teen. Now I think they're too much work to want to own one.

 10. What’s one thing you love about yourself?
My creativity. I get the most compliments for my creativity.  I enjoy it and do it well.


This was definitly fun!! ☺ I will not choose another blog because it's crazy hard to find one to nominate....but it was fun for me to look around on Emily's blog and see a face behind the name.

Now it's time for bed in my part of the world. Goodnight lovely ladies!

Turqoise & Blue // What I've Been Up Too

Hello Ladies,

Sorry I have not posted for such a long time....but finally I edited these picures from last week and sharing them here on Feminine Modesty. Last week we went to visit some friends that live in the country and we took a long walk in the beautiful German spring weather. The sun ist still a bit chilly so my trench coat is perfect.

I am in love with my blue trench coat. I normally don't spend money on clothes but when I saw just a few left over at an Aldi sale I had to check if they hstill had my size... they did. Since then I've been wearing it every day. It's just so classy! :)

The skirt is new to me and I totally love the fit. Flowy but not to big...pretty but comfortable. The scarf I got for 2€....☺ I like wearing turquoise and blue together.


If you are wondering about the paint on my fingers....go to "The Blue Birdhouse" and follow me there...quite a few projects I'll be writing about soon! You won't want to miss it.
