Fashionably Unique

 Time for church and . . . what shall I wear? I've spent most of the morning cleaning the local tire shop and watering a neighbor's flowers AND I have about half an hour to shower and dress for church.

And today I feel like having fun with my clothes. 

So, what do I do?

I throw some art together ;p 

It's unique, it's me, and I think it may have worked . . . 

Full skirt, colorful skirt, add some lace, give it a cowgirl look (hat and boots), and don't forget to cinch the waste! 

I've heard adding waste and some sort of v and the neckline really makes an outfit pop.

I kinda did that with this . . . what do you think?

Also, I don't usually do brown and black together, but I only had a black belt. 

Old piano we were throwing out . . . I thought it would make an artsy picture but my sister didn't agree and wouldn't get most of the piano ;/ 

Skirt: Thrift store
Lace under shirt: Thrift
Blue tank: Ross
Hat: I seriously can't remember - either the mall or a thrift store
Boots: Murdoch's

Would you wear this? Describe a fun outfit you've put together in a hurry! What makes an outfit pop to you? 

It Was Just Too Ugly Not To Wear...

Hand-me downs are so fun, aren't they?

But sometimes you can be very unsure about what you are given. And honestly, I don't end wearing (liking) even half of what we are given.

But they are still fun ;)

This dress was given to us recently, among a few other dresses. When I first saw it I thought it looked horrendous... but it felt so soft!

Teasing mom, I held it up and said, "How do you like my new dress?"

She rolled her eyes.

So I teased further by putting the dress on.

And then I sort of fell in love with it.

And can you believe it... I started getting compliments on it... I even made some friends of a couple of older ladies when flying last month. 

People would say, "I love your dress."

I'd smile, looking down at the interesting print. "Thanks. I was unsure about it at first. But it was just too ugly not to wear."

For some odd reason that received quite a few laughs ;D ;b

I could see myself playing baseball in this dress ;)

Sister: Was that comfortable?

Me: Yes, why?

Sister: You looked comfortable.

Got to get a crazy picture... and the shadow of the dirt bike ;)

And another hand-me down I was unsure about at first... my shoes! I have fallen in love with them. They are so comfy and practical and match with lots.

And some fun pics my sister edited:

She does some weird stuff, but it actually turns out pretty good, I think :) It's fun anyways :D

Most of this outfit was given to me! What a deal ;) I think I may have bought my bracelets. 

And my hair was just a french braid that started up on my head, down around my face, and into my hair. Very simple and unique. :)

Do you like hand-me downs? Have you ever been unsure about clothes before then fell in love with them? Remember, if you ever see something and hate it - try, try it on first! Lol. Have a great weekend!!!!!!

Wearing Your Hair in a Scarf

Lol 😝 How many people are crazy enough to dress this way - on a a normal basis, and in public?


 Me. 😉


 I am rather weird in my tastes. I like wild, comfy, pretty, easy, crazy, fancy, practical all wrapped in one. - Those are some of my favorite words, too ;).


 I get some crazy results :D Such as this new thing with my hair ( I've been doing it about 6 months now ).

I first did it in this picture - wanting something unique and pretty for a girls' party I was going to, I suddenly thought of braiding a ribbon into my hair. A close friend, Esther helped me! ( Never knowing how crazy I'd become weeks later ).

The ribbon was soon replaced with a scarf :)


 At first I would just wrap the scarf around my head, tie it under my pony tail and then over. And then I just let it hang or braid it loosely into my hair.


For a wilder, looser look I just tie it under the pony tail [If the scarf has tassels it will add length to your hair :D ]


But the scarf does like to fall off the top of my head to my back quite often - especially at youth group. 😒 So, I bought some dark colored hair clips about 1 and 1/2 inches long and snap one on each side of the top of my head and scarf.


Keeps the scarf there 😀


For the ribbon variation I tie the center of the ribbon to a dark colored pony tail holder ( hairband ), make my hair up into a pony tail and then braid the ribbon into my hair tightly.


 And now for the pictures!!! 😍
