Payless Shoes!

I have got to tell you about my favorite shoe place.

Payless Shoes.

They are awesome! (Especially the boots)

If you love their shoes also, post a comment!

What I wear to church...

This Skirt. I love black Maxi's!

This shirt. Purple, purple, and more purple! I love girly colors.

This scarf. A perfect accessory!

This belt except mine is in black. I love wide stretchy belts like this! I also like this. I don't have a belt like that, but that is something that I want! :D

These shoes. I have a pair very similar to these. But mine are lower to the ground than this. I wouldn't feel very comfortable wearing something so high.

So imagine all these pieces put together. How do you like it?

P.S. I want to tell you all about Hanna Andersson. I am captivated by their clothing! Some girls will fit size 160 Girls- not womens. So go ahead and look at all of it. :D

So what do you think? Do you have a go-to outfit similar to mine?

I'd love to hear from you. :D

Thankful!

A Happy Thanksgiving Greeting to all of you.
Sorry I'm a bit late, things have been crazy here. :D

What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for:

My best friend! Nothing will ever beat you! You are awesome! <3

Learning basketball! I am thankful for the opportunity! (Not a pro yet, but getting there)

Planning for what I'll do in life :)   (I am going to college in the near future, and now I'm planning what my major will be)

Helping friends... I love to help others, and I'm thankful that I can

This is only a sampling of all the things that I'm thankful for!

What are you thankful for? Let me know.

Got to get back to the pie now....  :D

Thanks to all of my Readers! :-)

Thanks to all my fabulous readers who have emailed me comment the past few days. Come on, follow my blog and comment on there! :-) But just a big Thanks to all of my friends!

Shooting Star!

We were driving home from a meeting last week, and it was late at night.

Suddenly, I saw something that I had never seen before.

A shooting star.

Wow! I have never seen anything like that! It was so lovely.
For the three seconds that I caught a glimpse of it.

It just made me think.... about many things. About my past experiences.... of the last months.... of the most recent trials.... of the torn, broken hearts, that I want to fix.... (I am an aspiring Social Worker, LOL but yes, that is what I want to be)
My train of thought ran over the many things that I have done in my life.

Where are you?

To sit outside until midnight watching the stars come out, and naming the constellations.
Or laying in bed until midnight, long for a breath of fresh air, and a break from the city.

Having water fights in your backyard on the hottest summer days.
Or are you sitting on the air conditioner, (yes I've done that) wishing for a breeze in San Francisco's sweltering weather? Wishing to get away from all the people?
Or are you enjoying the city and waiting patiently for your basketball game that's in two hours?

Are you riding your horse on the beach with your best friend?
Or are you skiing in the Rocky Mountains?
Or shopping at the mall and eating at your favorite gourmet restaurant?

Where are you today?

Are you shoveling snow?
Maybe sweeping the sand off your feet after walking on the beach?

Where are you right now?

Wherever you are, whether watching shooting stars in the night sky, or singing a solo in a big concert, or asleep in bed in a five-story apartment building....

Wherever you are, God still sees you. You can never run away from God.

I have had a Jonah experience. Turn in your Bible to the book of Jonah, and re-read it to refresh your memory. Jonah didn't do what God wanted him to do. But when he was in the whale, he decided that he would! Afterwards, he got out of the whale, (God got him out) and preached to Nineveh. (That is my summary, not the whole story.)

I did not want to go where God wanted me. I was in the wrong place.
I started having trials. Struggles. Tribulations.
And I REALIZED...

I was not where God wanted me.
SO......
I went to where He impressed me to go.
I was instantly accepted.
I was asked to come again.

And I KNEW..... I knew why everything had happened. Whether you are watching a shooting star, or doing anything else, you are not hidden.

What are you doing at present? Have you ever stopped to think that God is watching you even now? He is watching you in His LOVE for you. He brought me back to where I needed to be. To where people would want me......

He died to save you. He is watching you now. You are His precious child.

I am honored to serve such a Ruler.

How to layer clothing: A written tutorial

How to layer clothing: A written tutorial

Start with socks. I recommend knee highs. Put these on before continuing

Now for the tights: Tights are like leggings with feet on them. Pull these tights on over the socks.
*You can also use leggings. It is just prone to be more noticeable, because of your socks. But it does work if your legs feel like ice cubes, and your feet feel on fire, like me!

Next get a pair of knee length jean shorts. Pull them on over the tights/leggings.

Over that, wear a long, thick, jean skirt. You're set! And no one will know unless you tell them or they scrutinize your skirt!

Want to know part two of the layering tutorial?

On top of all that, put on a thick sleeveless undershirt.

Over that, wear a long thin undershirt. Make sure that it hangs down low, and don't tuck it in.

Then, put on a thick warm shirt of your choice.

Over that, wear a pullover sweater, or a sweater dress.

Don't forget a pair of cozy boots and a warm jacket for outside! (I wear a ski jacket.)

You're set! At least I am.
This is my go-to outfit for this cold weather we've been having!

What are your favorite layering ideas? Why not try it and see what you think?
