Conversation #138: Open to Interpretation (I love these!)

As part of Kayla's fashion challenge, she hosted another group Open to Interpretation.  I'm not sure why I find these to be so much fun, but I guess I just love to see all of the ways people fashioned the look for them.  Here is the inspiration from one Kayla via J.Crew (only one of my fave places):
 Now some lovely ladies interpreted the color, others the style and some both!  I really love this classic look.  I also realized while looking for my outfit that I only own two pencil skirts, navy and black, and that is sad because I love them (therefore I am going to pull out my sewing pattern for them and make some in colors!)  I also realized that I own a ton of cardigans and turtleneck sweaters, but very few crew necks.  Anyway, as you'll see below, I went with the shape for my inspiration and tried to throw in a bright color with my necklace (which I don't think my husband liked, but I don't often take fashion advice from him anyway).


Outift breakdown:
Sweater, J.Crew, $15
Blouse, Lands' End, $10 (? I really can't remember)
Skirt, Express via thrifted, $4 (and it has leopard print lining!)
Pumps, Lela Rose for Payless, $30
Necklace, J.Crew Factory online, $4

I actually really liked this look and probably wouldn't have layered this sweater like this because I miss the obvious sometimes so I'm glad I did!  I also really like my shoes, but sadly they rub a little on the side.  Hopefully that was just because this was their debut.  Oh, and lastly, can I say how weird it feels to be sporting bare legs in February?!  This is better than the same time last year when we had snow, ice, and COLD, but I wasn't quite ready for spring.  I guess I'm glad that the groundhog saw his shadow :)

Cute interpretation. And, love the husband comment. Mine dislikes a lot of my accessories, too.

Conversation #204: My Jesus...

Oh Facebook and social media of all kinds...we have a love hate/relationship.  Lately, these days, I feel it is more hate only because I allow myself to be depressed by things I see.  I recently told someone the other day that I had lost faith in humanity, and then it hit me, that is exactly where I should be.  We are a fallen people in a fallen world, and I should have NO faith in humanity.  Why did that take me 30 years to figure out? So there has been a lot of political/social stuff swirling around, and division among Christians, and I hate it.  Like I said, I have no faith in humanity and realizing that was a good reminder it should ALL be in the Lord.  Even though there are definitely things going on in this world that reject the truth of the Gospel, Jesus, the thing that scares me the most these days is the phrase I alluded to in the title: "my Jesus wouldn't believe this" or "I can't follow a God that would say that" or "I just don't believ...

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow!  It has been too long.  I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me.  I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday.  What was this past Saturday, you may ask?  My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!!  I can hardly contain my excitement.  I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam.  I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks.  We are done!  I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work!  Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #201: Fit for an "it"

I always knew that I would want to find out the gender of my babies before they were born - that is just my jam.  Mostly I wanted to find out because I know my weird self and if I bonded with said baby for nine months thinking "it" was a boy and then instead "it" was a she, I knew it would mess with my mind.  Now having actually been pregnant, maybe that wouldn't be the case because I clearly didn't know Dean was a boy until 20 weeks, but I also loved being able to talk to him the rest of the pregnancy and call him by his name. All of that to say, I always thought I would want to create and elaborate, gender specific nursery, until we renovated two houses and I painted more walls than I care to remember.  So one night before we knew Dean was a Dean, I was laying in bed and made the declaration that our nursery would be fairly gender neutral.  We knew we would always want to use that room for the nursery because it is across the hall from our room and the s...
