What I'm Wearing.

Hi, all! I'm kinda new to posting outfits I have and love.

This week has been a bit of an intense week for me and the hubs. We have been waiting patiently for about 9 months or so to complete the sale of our house and move to a lake cottage nearby. We've come close a few times, but something always has fallen through at the last minute. We have been in constant prayer over whether this is the path God is calling us to or if He has another. I have asked the Lord for some kind of confirmation that, even though we have waited patiently, that He will complete this process soon. A few weeks ago, I read in Ann Voskamp's list for the April (specifically on the 26th) JoyDare that I am to write down 3 gifts from God that are moving! I honestly am not one to test God or read into things, but I have felt that God was speaking to me about our move. Well, He's making me trust right up to the day! Tomorrow is the 26th. I'm trusting God to come through for me!! Won't you also pray for Him to receive glory and our faith to become sight? Whatever happens, tomorrow, I will be praising God for 3 gifts that are moving!!

Until then, I've been going through some of my outfits. Indiana weather has been so fickle, like so many parts of the U.S. (all that snow in the north east!!). I've had to pull out both winter and summer boxes from storage!

Here are a few I wore recently:

This is a great "out in the yard, gardening" outfit for me. Very casual and relaxed!

This was a windy spring day. We went for a walk and my hubs took a picture by these daffodils. Notice my little 4 lb. Chihuahua, Sophie, sitting to the right of me. She didn't like sitting for the picture!

 This is one of my spring outfits (thrift-ed)

This was a very bizarre day! It started out warm (71 degrees)

By noon it was 60 degrees, so I donned a light jacket.

*I just noticed, I own a LOT of Capri pants. I'm not naturally blessed with skinny thighs, which makes me want to hide them. Hopefully, I can work on that in my weight loss program! I would love to feel comfortable wearing shorts someday!

You can't see my shoes in the grass picture, so here is a close-up of my deck shoes. These are so comfortable! I've had them for years. (made by Route 66).

The most bizarre part of the last outfit was that it cooled down that day to 52 degrees by 3:00 p.m.

I ended up changing into jeans and a sweatshirt for the rest of the day.

That's Indiana weather for you!

I do like to dress up for church on Sunday. Thought I would share one of my more dressy outfits. Everything I am wearing here was thrifted, even the boots!

What are you wearing this season? Feel free to share some of your favorites by linking back to your blog in my comment box below or sending me an email (apop12341@hotmail.com), with photos, or just a description.

Still trying to lose a few (well, hopefully around 30 lbs) by the time the hubs and I go on our 2nd honeymoon. Looks like we officially will be going in September, now, most likely the week of Labor Day, which is ironically both of our b-days (his is Sept. 5 and mine is Sept. 9). We also will probably be going to S. Carolina, instead of California, like originally planned.

Fashion Friday and Sharing My Pins

Many area schools are on or will soon be on their spring breaks. Of course, that got me dreaming about being on a beach in some tropical place! So I thought I would share some of my Pinterest pins and Polyvore ensemble sets.

Since I won't be going to any beaches this spring, I guess I'll just take the advice of the sign below!!!

Springing into Fashion

Well, I've been really enjoying reading some fashion blogs lately. Not that I am any kind of a fashion expert...actually it's the very opposite. I'm always looking for ideas as to what styles work, what don't work, and learn ways to put ensembles of things that I like together to make a nice outfit. I have just recently started using Polyvore, which I really like. If you like, you can check out some ensembles I have already created...HERE.  I also like using my camera to take photos of my favorite pieces. There have been a few different blogs where the blogger has modeled her outfits and that really appeals to me. The only thing is, I currently don't feel real comfortable doing that, as I am a little overweight. I am on a weight-loss program, so I thought that it might motivate me to take some pictures of me now, and eventually I'll be able to share my befores and afters. So, here I am, (in all my plumpness) in a couple spring outfits. All you fashion models have encouraged me greatly, as I hope to soon model my favorite outfits comfortably.

 This outfit is for a little bit cooler morning with my military style jacket from Target for around $25 I've had for a couple of years, the hat is also from Target. The tan stretch jeans are from Goodwill. The Camo bag is from Walmart. Shoes are Sketchers that I have also had for several years.

Here, I changed out my top and purse. The top is a stretch knit in military green, also from Target (about $14). The purse was a Goodwill find, as well.

Under the green shirt, I wore one of my favorite T-shirts, from the "Life is Good" store. They have the cutest printed apparel items and accessories and are best known for their optimistic quotes and designs that include a multitude of hobbies and interests. The necklace is from Forever 21 (for $5).

I really don't like looking at pictures of myself, but that does encourage me to work hard at losing those 30-40 pounds!!
