Day 7
It seems rather surreal that today was the last day of the challenge! It was also rather funny, a friend sent me an email yesterday, saying, " oh, have you heard about this challenge? I think you and I should do it together..." haha and yes, it was the 7-day skirt/dress challenge :) I sent them a link to my blog...
Alright, so I meant to have really amazing astounding pictures taken, with just the right lighting, and I was actually going to clean them up a bit..and then the day got away from me. so , sorry! you shall just have to believe me when I say I really am an alright photographer! ;) actually, all these pictures this week [excluding day 3] were taken by my wonderful mother, who has been so patient with me this week!
Ok, enough chatter. here are the specs:
White tank...$3, tj maxx probably
teal shirt...eddie bauer I believe, $15.
grey skirt...april cornell, a gift from my father :)
I borrowed the cap and scarf, from the same amazing friend :)
I wore the same brown boots Ive worn for the past few days, since it has been so chilly.
red jacket...a gift from my aunt in VA :)
I have really learned a lot this week, and been very blessed by this opportunity. I learned it is possible to sled in a skirt, and do other physical activities. I learned to take time for every outfit, and make sure it goes at least fairly well together ;) God gave me a lot of grace this week, and I loved how feminine I felt, all the time :) yes, I do wear pants, and yes, often this week it would have been much easier to wear them. but God helped me persevere, and there are lessons I learned this week that I don't really know the words for. SO, thank you Esther, and thanks to all of you who did this challenge and posted blogs on it! I am so grateful to have had even this bit of a connection with you, and look forward to the next challenge posted :)

I wore my hair down most of the day, straightened from its normally curly-take-over-the-world style, and then i put it up into a funky, quick-throw-back "bun" when I was cooking :)
Enjoy!

Day 2
Alright. So I didn't cheat today. But today I wore a cleaning shirt and the skirt pictured, and then after I was done cleaning the bathrooms, etc [seriously, who wants to wear a super nice shirt and then clean the bathrooms?!], I changed into the shirt and jacket pictured. I know, you may never have known that if I didn't tell you, but I thought I would be totally honest.
Today was cleaning, errand running, and photoshoot taking day! :) SO, I went with:
The same boots as yesterday ... because they are seriously THAT cool beans.
A black 2-side slit skirt...no idea where I got it, and the slits go to about 3 inches below knee length, so that was interesting to wear with the boots. but hey, it worked!
blue 3-quarter length shirt...NY and Company, $20.
white denim jacket...J.Crew buy of the season/year, $65 [ the sweetest lady gave me HER store discount, just because. definitely a God-gift :) ]
Reindeer pin on the jacket... borrowed from my mom :) [if you click on the picture, you should be able to see it closer up.]
Oh! and I forgot to take a picture of my hair [sorry!] these past two days, but DAY 1 's hair was just down. I just got side bangs, and am loving them :) [except for the cowlick that insists on parting the bangs strangely...*sigh*.... ] and today's hair was partially pulled back, with a fun and loose twist braid, and a typical, thin, blue elastic band. :)
tomorrow is Day 3, and I'm excited! :)
