Since Ms. Colorful went back to college she has not had time to add to the posts. Since this blog has gotten away from what it was intended to be, I felt a new blog for a new year was in order.

Alright, I'm thinking I should declare this my "sick dress". Last time I wore it, I felt terrible...this time, about the same! Maybe it has germs lurking on it??? Well, in defense of the dress, I WAS already sick before I put it on. :o)<br />
I was told by someone at church that my outfit looked very Christmas-y! Yay, that's exactly what I was going for! <br />
The Silver ring is my Christmas present from Hubby. He made it from a Sugar Spoon! It looks even better in person! He also made me a bracelet, but it isn't quite finished so I won't wear it until he gives the "ok".<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!<br />

I needed to wear Maroon to match two other ladies at church for a special we did. I still wanted to look Christmas-y, so Ms. Colorful suggested the brooches. The sweater used to have a white collar and cuffs, but it just didn't look like me so I removed them. If I look tired, it's 'cause I AM! I did a Christmas special for the morning service, then went back with the children to rehearse for the Evening Christmas Program, while learning a new song to sing (in the program), all while still working on Christmas presents at home. I need to catch my breath!<br />
<br />
Keeping it Christmas-y,<br />

I made my Mistletoe headband last year, but only got to wear it once! That would be due to making it in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT Christmas Eve! It will be seen much more this year! I had the hardest time picking out my outfit, finally I just started pulling back dresses in my closet. When I ran across this one, it hit me to make it a Christmas outfit! Spring/Summer dresses can come out in the winter too! Ha! I'm wearing 3 to 4 shades of Green, but I like it best that way. If everything matched perfectly, I would feel boring!<br />
<br />
Hope you're in the Christmas Spirit too!!!<br />

Every time I wear my big purple beads I think, "Wilma Flinstone would love these!" I was so excited when I ordered the biggest Czech Glass beads available, when they arrived I was a little disappointed that I didn't order enough to go all the way around my neck, but the fresh water pearls ended up looking much better. Plus, it would've been way too heavy for me to wear with more big beads! Hubby had given me the Amethyst/Peridot set originally as earrings and necklace. But after years of me only wearing the necklace occasionally, he had it made into a ring for me. Now, I wear it ALL the time!!! I bought the dress to wear on our first Anniversary, I love owning classics that never go out of style!<br />

Hubby asked if we needed to reshoot any of the pictures. I said, "It's too cold, whatever you got will have to be good!" FYI, our church is on a hill with no trees to break the wind...it's a miracle I made it inside without flashing everybody! Thankfully, we have trees around our house, so we could get our pictures taken without any Marilyn Monroe Moments.<br />
<br />
I bought my Sweater in late Spring when it was already getting a bit hot. I felt a little silly buying a cold weather item at that time, but I just couldn't pass it up due to that one dark red diamond! It's the quirky things that get me. Hey, when you find the right thing at the right price who cares if the timing is a bit off.<br />

Dress: BCBG via Dillard's on sale<br />
Designer Vest: Thrift Shop<br />
Beads: DIY<br />
Ring: Gift from Brother<br />
<br />
When I came across this dress at Dillard's, I fell in love! The print, the colors, the floor length...but I thought where will I wear this? I didn't want to only pull it out once or twice a year! So I said, why not wear it to church? I can get away with wearing a jacket or vest with it...and so I did. I have worn it mostly with a denim jacket, but was too hot for that so I got out the vest and ended up loving the look. I have been using a new plum colored eyeliner lately in combination with greys or browns. I went with smokey grey and rose eyeshadows with it and it looked quite nice if I do say so myself. I am wearing shoes under there, but I admit I did slip them off at church on stage and no one noticed. :o)<br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving!<br />

I finally got my hair curled for church and would you believe it was sooooooooo windy!!! I think windblown curly hair looks better than windblown straight hair, so I can't complain too much. :o) Nelson was only a part of my look at home, he did not attend church service! I was waiting on my photographer (Hubby) and Nelson thought I needed company. I didn't have the heart to make him get down.<br />

Shoes: Vintage <br />

Beaded Bracelets: DIY<br />
Acorn Necklace: Swiped from Mom<br />

A couple of the blogs I like list the components of their outfits as above. I find it nice if I just want to know where one piece came from without reading an entire post when I don't have much time to <strike>waste</strike> spare.<br />
<br />
I fully intended to curl my hair (it would've complimented the dress so much better!), but time was against me. I woke at 5am to go....hunting (with my dad)! By the time he got me back home to get dressed, I had less than 30 minutes to make it happen. Our church starts at an earlier time than his! I wish I would've gotten a shot of the back (I keep forgetting that!) as the under dress trails down in the back giving me a train-like effect that looks so pretty with the double layers of the vintage dress on top. The vintage dress also has a cape-like collar in the back, I really really should have taken that photo!<br />

PS: It was Ms. Colorful's Birthday and I know she took photos, but I went on strike and said she has to do her own posts as was the plan when we started this blog.

I got to wear my new wool sweater this morning, it has DUCKS! A little boy at church thought I had an airplane on my shoulder, I smiled and said, "No, it's a Duck." He seemed to like it all the more for that. :o) Thankfully Mrs. Colorful cut my hair this week, so it played nice all on its own with no fuss from me. I'm lucky most of my makeup stayed on, no sooner did I finish putting it on I had to blow my nose and wiped half of it off! I really should've worn lipstick, but the lips were nice and chapped so lip balm got first choice.<br />
<br />
I'm off to take some Benadryl!<br />

I wanted to put a little more into my outfit and curl my hair, but there just wasn't time. Pretty earrings and nice lipstick saved the day, they fooled everyone into thinking I looked put together instead of focusing on my unstyled hair. :o)<br />

I picked out my dress the night before (as usual), so went ahead and painted my toes then. Otherwise, I would've had nice chipped polish since there wasn't any extra time when getting dressed, oh the benefits of a little planning ahead. I asked the Hubby to grab my scarf on the way out the door, this time of year it tends to be cool INSIDE the church. My new Calla Lily ring arrived this week, I commissioned it last month to be made with a dark green stone I bought in the Czech Republic. I love it, it is HUGE, the Hubby thinks it looks like a trumpet. :o)<br />

This was the Easter dress I made a couple years ago. It was so much fun making exactly what I wanted! My favorite part is the ruffle collar! After that would be that it has POCKETS! Oh how I love my dresses with pockets. The hat came from an antique shop and is in such good condition! Too much of the time vintage hats will have torn netting, but this one is perfect! The complete sapphire set came from My Hubby. He gave me the ring and necklace on our 1st Anniversary, then added the earrings and bracelet later.<br />

For evening Service, I was almost void of color! Well, not really. :o) I have a short peach under dress beneath the beaded black one. I went with metallic accessories to keep it toned down. The bracelet thingy is a metal bendy cord that can be twisted bent and wrapped as a necklace, bracelet, or whatever. My Shellac nail polish made it one week and half a day! I chipped off a couple nails on the way home from church this morning...they were loose and BUGGING me! The remaining nails still look great, so if I can learn to leave them alone I think I could make it last two weeks like it's supposed to!<br />

PS: The goofy grin is due to Hubby making me laugh! He also took a picture of me rubbing my eye, but I didn't keep that one. :o)The Sunday Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06350044175930362944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861310738301991487.post-21664586754061526882011-10-16T20:25:00.000-05:002011-10-16T20:25:16.938-05:00A little late...So last weekend we went to the City to see Guys and Dolls. It was a lovely night out in spite of getting home at the wee hours (2am), then being a bit groggy for church! Ms. Colorful had these pictures on her camera, hence the delay in posting.<br />

We did NOT plan to match! I was supposed to wear a brown dress, but it barely zipped across my *ahem* chest anymore! I was gasping for air, when My Hubby asked if I thought I could make it 3 hours without fainting...I changed. Now I know why women used to faint all the time due to their corsets!<br />
<br />
Now even though it was extremely late when we got in that night, AND it was raining Sunday morning (it's so hard to get out of bed when it's raining). We both managed to make it to church (you saw my rainy post). There was some concern that Ms. Colorful had skipped, but here's proof she indeed did not. :o) <br />

I'm pretty sure I used to own a skirt just like this, but I think mom turned mine into a pillow when I decided not to keep it anymore. :o) I talked Ms. Colorful into buying the bracelet so she could copy it and make one for me with her mad jewelry making skills! Hmm...I need to remind her of that (it'd be a great Christmas Gift, hint hint). Ha, I just realized that I'm the reason she bought those shoes too! I am such a great sister to have around. The shoes were at a Thrift Shop for only $8, but they were a 1/2 size too big for me! I still kinda regret not getting them anyways and just popping in a shoe insert to make 'em fit!The Sunday Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06350044175930362944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861310738301991487.post-38843320977558218372011-10-10T00:21:00.000-05:002011-10-10T00:21:22.656-05:00Butterflies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheKxcHgR63D9afK_ruceECUBd7VY57GmOPAfuw7RHFY9I3i-lrPnw5zajbGB7ODhGazB5iwmK6Ptzweg49hVpFqSBMmrTsaBvHgO1pVvwTDxl7FMH1oraF7CarcoIMClhLxU8Ymokk/s1600/IMG_3932crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheKxcHgR63D9afK_ruceECUBd7VY57GmOPAfuw7RHFY9I3i-lrPnw5zajbGB7ODhGazB5iwmK6Ptzweg49hVpFqSBMmrTsaBvHgO1pVvwTDxl7FMH1oraF7CarcoIMClhLxU8Ymokk/s320/IMG_3932crop.jpg" width="164" /></a></div><br />

Everyone who knows me, knows I love Butterflies! So, when I saw this SILK BUTTERFLY Jacket (at a thrift shop no less) I snapped it up in a hurry. I love silk and cotton, and this jacket is lined in cotton, not some yucky synthetic junk that makes me feel like my skin is suffocating! I adore natural fibers, I barely tolerate the rest. The only thing I don't like about my silky gold blouse is that it's a synthetic material. I'm wearing my "mom jeans", the waist goes right below my belly button for a nice silhouette (no muffin top on this lady, thank you). It just happens the jeans are Calvin Klein, fit great (I took them in when I lost a few pounds), and came from a Thrift Shop for $8!!! My Red Snakeskin Belt came from a Charity Thrift Shop at a church. Red Leather Heels are Anne Klein from Marshalls. And best for last, my Butterfly Wing Necklace. It is an actual butterfly wing encased in glass, it is equally stunning on the reverse side. I bought it on that trip to Colorado for my Friend's Wedding as mentioned before.<br />

PS: I almost forgot to tell you about my nails. I'm trying out Shellac! It's supposed to stay on at least 2 weeks if not more.

I found my blouse at Goodwill, it was a dowdy old lady shirt. But it had UMBRELLAS, I knew I could make it look cute. After chopping off the sleeves, and adding a little ruffle in their place, I called it good. My actual Umbrella was given to me for Christmas from my Mom (it came from an Antique Shop). I bought my Hat and Bracelet at an Antiques Flea Market a couple weeks ago. Hubby said I looked like a Gnome in my hat...which made me extremely happy, as I love Gnomes! The Red Beads were my Great Grandmother's. I'm also wearing a Gold Filigree Drop necklace and earrings set from my Hubby. The dangley drops on all my jewelry went well with the umbrellas and rainy weather, I thought. I bought my Quilted Black Leather clutch at Dillards one year with Birthday money. Shoes are Black Patent Leather. I had my HUGE Black Leather Belt made locally after wearing out a cheap fake one from the Mall.<br />

I bought this dress for (drum roll please...) $6, and it has POCKETS! At first I thought, well even if it is stinkin' cheap, where am I gonna wear it? Then my sister found the lace top (you saw her wear her's on my birthday), so I said go get me one off the rack too! $5 later and I had the solution for making it work for church! Earrings and Butterfly ring are from Hubby, necklaces were picked up here and there (I swiped the acorn one from my mom, and the other two were found at thrift shops). It was chilly out this morning (and a bit frigid in the church too), so I threw on some grey tights which also helped make the shorter length of dress more church appropriate. My feet were a bit tired after standing on stage in those heels, but they'd get better if I wore them more and got the leather to mold and stretch to my wide-ish feet. I keep forgetting to put a penny in them! I remember doing that with my penny loafers as a kid. I straightened my hair out this morning, it was kinda weird after wearing it curled and/or teased so much here lately. I think I ended up liking it. :o)<br />
<br />
PS. My little boy took the first picture, he said he couldn't get my head and shoes all in the shot so I had to lean over like that. :o)<br />

This dress was on sale at TJMaxx for (another drum roll needed...) $7! A man at church is always asking if we're rich, with me wearing new dresses all the time, I just tell him I know how to SHOP! I swapped my necklaces from this morning for the Diamond Butterfly necklace my Hubby gave me on my 18th Birthday. I kept the grey tights, but swapped shoes for a more comfy pair of Zebra wedges...I wear these babies a LOT!<br />

Buenos Noches!<br />

The heart necklace I stole from my neice (she takes my stuff all the time its my turn now lol and I know we should not steal things) the shoes I bought at DSW .<br />

I picked this dress up last week at a Thrift Shop. It was HUGE, but the neckline and arms fit perfectly. It is an authentic 1960s, Made in Hawaii, Muu Muu! So Groovy, I just had to have it! I shortened it, added POCKETS (I love dresses with pockets), threw a belt around it and called it perfect! I made my Necklace and ChaCha Ring using Glass Beads and freshwater pearls on the back part of the necklace. My earrings were one of my Christmas presents from my Hubby. He asked the Jeweler for the BIGGEST gold hoops they had, they showed him some shrimpy ones the size of a quarter and he said, "She wants 'em Bigger!" The girl proceeded to dig these glorious beauties out of a drawer. I screamed out loud when I opened them up...<br />

Sure, I can dress like a Princess to go to church, I am a Daughter of the King after all. Ruffles, a Train, Satin, Bejeweled Tigers, Chandeliers...I've got it all covered! On the practical side, this dress is made of cotton jersey and feels like wearing your most comfortable t-shirt. Also, with all that length, no one knew I was wearing casual comfy sandals underneath. :o) This dress started out plain, but I "attacked" it with my sewing machine and yards and yards of ruffles! This is one of my favorite things I've made for myself. Surprisingly, my jewelry didn't come from my Husband today, the butterfly ring was a Christmas present from my little brother and the bracelet was from my sister (Ms. Colorful). I picked up the earrings at a Thrift Shop in Tennessee.<br />

Ms. Colorful is wearing a Brown Suede dress-that she can't stand to touch due to her aversion to the texture! Ah, the sacrifices we make for the things we love. The Heels and Blazer are "new" from a Thrift Shop. We both wore Cameo rings today...great minds...!!! Her hosiery matches the pink in her hair. :o) Didn't she do a lovely job on her eyeshadow? She always does. I was supposed to get a picture of her Pink Flamingo clip (made from a vintage clip-on earring) AND the new wire wrapped butterfly wing earring she made...but the earring turned when I snapped the picture! SORRY!<br />
<br />
<br />
And last (but not least)...<br />

I bought my "How to Train Your Dragon" shirt in the boys section at good ol' Walmart, then modified it by changing the shape of the neck and sleeves and adding ruffles. My ring was bought from an artist at an Antiques Flea Market, it is a huge chunk of coral and free form silver. My earrings were made for me by a dear friend for my Birthday...she knows how much I LOVE Butterflies! The leather braided bracelets were bought on that trip to Colorado I mentioned before. The band in the middle is my watch (I almost ALWAYS wear my watches upside-down). The scarf tied on my purse is vintage. It has horses "running" on it which made me think of a Knight riding on his Horse charging after a Dragon (a little peek into how my mind works, haha). My Zebra stripe wedges came from Dillards on super CLEARANCE! Most of my really nice shoes come from Dillards clearance rack. And last but not least, my skirt is my own design, sewn with my own two little hands. :o) I forgot to get a picture of the back, it has three vintage buttons in a "V" shape and an exposed zipper. I will try to add a picture of that later.<br />

I wanted to wear Red, White, and Blue in remembrance of 9-11. It is amazing how just that little decision caused me to think so often of our Lost Loved Ones, our Country, and our Soldiers now serving to protect us. I had no idea the simple act of wearing ones Country's colors could stir up such feelings, memories, and pride. I tend to go all out Red, White, and Blue on 4th of July, but this was different. I wanted it to be about pride and respect, not "Look at me, I'm an American." I tried on several outfits before settling on this one. I've had the red dress for a couple of years, it was bought second hand (and on sale). The bolero jacket and shoes came from TJMaxx, I buy a lot of my things there. My favorite places to shop are JoAnn's Fabrics, TJMaxx, and Thrift Shops...now you know...I'm a Cheap Czech! BUT, cheap prices do not mean cheap clothing! I refuse to wear "cheap" shoes and clothes, so I buy nice ones on SALE! My clutch, ring, and earrings were presents from my Hubby. The bangles are: white=vintage (from Thrift Shop), yellow=jade (bought at a festival), red=wood (from an Oriental shop...it is carved all around). I am please to show off my new hairstyle worn straight, last Sunday I wore curls and the shape of the cut was not too apparent. Yes, the left side is longer than the right, I had to assure some of the guys on the Praise Team at church that it IS supposed to be that way. :o) The girls, of course, needed no explanations.<br />

PS: My sister is off on an Adventure (AKA: A Hair Show in the City!), and was, therefore, a "Back Slider" this morning. :o)The Sunday Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06350044175930362944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861310738301991487.post-61498649467826631802011-09-04T20:25:00.000-05:002011-09-04T20:25:22.589-05:00High Winds and High Fashion (not so good together)We woke to a beautiful windy hinting at fall day. I managed to dress quickly enough to leave time for a photo shoot before we left for church. I'm glad I did...here in the country we are surrounded by trees and they created a wind block for me. As soon as I stepped out of the car at church, I was thanking myself for anchoring my hat down with pins!<br />

I took that as a great compliment. I always laugh when I hear women say they wish they could wear hats too...I always want to ask, "Who's stopping you?" Or say, "Well then, wear one!" :o) I bought my hat this summer at a little antique shop and only just now wore it. I was feeling special due to my Birthday and thought, "Now's the time to wear that hat!" My jewelry is all from my Hubby except for the blue beads that my dear friend brought back for me from Israel. My gorgeous new purse is my Birthday present from my Hubby. I bought my dress and shoes while on a driving trip to Colorado for another dear friend's Wedding. I always think of her when I wear the shoes, because I danced at her Wedding in them. :o) By the way...Orange is my favorite color!<br />

PS: I am quite pleased with my new haircut and color. The bangs are a lighter brown than my natural color giving me a more subtle two tone effect.<br />

Her dress and lace undershirt are a result of following our mom into a store. We were done shopping, but mom wanted to stop one more place. We both ended up buying dresses and the same lace top (the dresses are very different) I know her dress was on clearance, I think for $11! Don't you just love the ruffles? Her fantastic shoes came from a consignment shop and were also a steal...designer shoes for $8...wow!<br />
<br />
I hope I didn't say anything my sister didn't want me to say or leave anything out, but since her pictures are on my camera I had to do her post for her so she can't complain. :o)<br />

I just bought the oh so cute Top and pretty Blazer at...you guessed it...the Thrift Shop! I had picked up the top due to the insanely cute animals printed all over it, especially the mice...eek, they're so cute! I happened to try on the Blazer over the Top out of convenience and was hit by how much I loved the two together! At the time I was wearing blue shorts and sandals and would happily wear that almost anywhere, but I just don't feel comfortable wearing shorts to church. Others have done it and done it well, but "Daddy wouldn't allow it" growin' up and those things kind of stick. A Denim skirt made a great alternative and Zebra wedges replaced my casual sandals. By the way, yes...that is a cookie in my hand! I was feeling peckish as I ran out the door. :o)<br />

A little highlight on my outfit. Shoes and Lacy Top are my latest Thrift Store finds. Pencil Skirt is a favorite "go to". Borrowed the under shirt from my mom. As you will learn my jewelry has certain pieces that never change. Anklet is a recent piece I made from favorite "old broken things".<br />

Thanks to my brother for playing Photographer (he had to stop watching golf for a couple minutes!)<br />

Now we see what JJ wore...<br />

I have to say that I'm usually not so BLONDE. No, I didn't hang out at the Beach all Summer...I decided to make a change from my usual Fire Engine Red and this was the result. It needs some tweaking by my personal Beautician (My sister...and yes, she IS a professional).<br />
<br />
I am a walking add for the Thrift Shop in this outfit. Top, Skirt, and Shoes all AWESOME Thrift Store finds. Purse and Jewelry are all gifts from My Husband. Scarf tied to purse is vintage (found at a little old lady's garage sale, oh yeah!) The zipper and buttons details on this outfit just made my day.<br />
<br />
Proud Mamma that I am, I have to tell you the first photo of me was taken by my 5 year old son. Daddy helped out with the others.<br />
