Conversation #152: Frugal Friday: Fashion

*sorry, this was supposed to post Friday - my scheduled posts are not working :(

Hello!  Welcome to the first installment of Frugal Fridays: Fashion.  First, sorry I didn't write much this week.  I had a horrible migraine on Monday and didn't even go to work.  Therefore, no pic of the new haircut for you.  Then on Tuesday, I did make it to work, but didn't love my outfit.  I didn't love it again on Wednesday.  The last couple of days it was, eh.  I haven't been feeling very inspired this week to get dressed, but I have a couple of pics for you.  I will also unveil the new 'do. 

I got my haircut on Saturday, and at first I really liked it.  I hadn't had it this short in a looooooong time so it kind of surprised me.  Then, on Sunday morning I decided to style it more straight like the pic I posted last Friday, but it looked awful.  Husband called it right - he said I looked like a politician, but then I knew he meant Hillary Clinton from a few years ago.  Needless to say, I had a little breakdown, didn't make it to church, and then made him cut off a little on the bottom (it felt a little like a mullet the way my hair was curling), and finally I loved it.  I'll be honest, I am still figuring out how to style it, but most days I really like it.  I like doing fun things with my hair, and if I could pull of this cut, I would in a heartbeat:
But alas, this is my hair:


I hate the way pictures of myself look like this, but I can't really do camera timer pictures these days.  Maybe they'll come back soon...we'll see.  Until then, here are the couple of outfit pics I have, new hair and all!


Outfit breakdown:
Cardi, Gap Outlet, $15
Blank top, Coldwater Creek, $10ish (can't remember for sure)
Blue skinnies, JCPenney, $18
Wedge sandals, Target, $12ish

The hair is a little more naturally curly today, so it has a little different texture
Outfit breakdown:
Cardi, Talbots, $20
Leopard tank, Gap, $8
Black maxi skirt, Gap, $8ish
Sandals, Lands End Canvas, $13


That is is for me this week!  I feel like my life is really back to normal now.  One reason I didn't post as much this week either is that I was working on my testimony (which I gave last night) and then I also needed to finish Tale of Two Cities for my book club tomorrow (which I did!)  Giving my testimony was cool because it really gave me a chance to look at what all God has and is doing!  It makes me excited to see what more He will do in my life.  However, everyone kept telling me how brave I was to share, and it made me go, "oh no, what did I actually say?!"  Haha, it was good, and as one of the ladies from my church said, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!"  AMEN!

Its so cute! I love your haircut. Also, I have been praying for you on the PE exam. I remember when my husband had to take it and prepare for it, he's a CivE too. It was not fun!

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 #205: About Me

Hello! I have no idea how often I will escape to this place, but since I recently added this ol' blog address to my Instagram Profile, I thought maybe I should dust her off and welcome any new readers. I have so many thoughts rolling around in my head CONSTANTLY that maybe this would be a good spot again to release them, and keep me from online shopping too much during my lunch break ;)  I hear a faint AMEN from my husband. Anyway, the title of my blog may lead people to make snap judgments about me or my beliefs, which is unfortunate, but also the society we live in at the moment.  First, it created a sort of catchy blog name, and I liked it.  And, yes, I am a conservative, but that label has sooooo many different meanings depending on what media outlet you last listened to so I thought maybe I would use this post to re-introduce myself to old friends and share a bit about how I have grown in the last few years. I am Christian, Jesus Follower, Believer, Daughte...
