Outfit // Cloaked in Blue

                                                                                             Hey all!

                                                     As Cassie said in our last post, we recently went thrifting!

While my little sisters and Cassie were having their piano lesson at our Grandmother's house, Mom and I left to check a nearby second-hand shop for furniture, which happened to be having an 'all clothes are a $1' sale!  I purchased one brown linen skirt that I have yet to use in an outfit. But I'm thinking about trying it out with my cowboy boots soon!  [It's finally slushy enough to not have my feet slip out from under me the second I leave the house with them on!]

So... the cape is my Mom's and I actually didn't start out with it on, I just had on my black pea coat which is badly in need of a trip to the dry-cleaner... But I've always wanted to wear it and since it's finally getting almost too warm for a coat [Praise the Lord!], she let me borrow it.   ;-)

Doesn't this look just like a 20's cloak when paired with this shorter skirt?

There is a small stream going down our road to the river [from all the melting snow] and it was making all kinds of weird bubble formations! So neat! Our younger siblings walked down to our neighbor's ancient mud puddle to tramp in! It is huge! You should have seen their sad faces when we told them it is predicted to freeze again this weekend. Poor dears...It seems forever to them.

I have been wearing this brown cardigan a lot it seems... I'm so glad I splurged and payed four whole bucks for it at Goodwill!

I wasn't sure at first how the blue/light peach/brown mix would go but it seems to match without too much craziness... It helped that we had an undershirt the exact same color as the eyelet skirt!  ;-)

We forgot to take a close-up but my shirt also has eyelet on it, making it a no-brainer to pair with this new favorite!

This is my favorite picture in the whole photo shoot! I adore the lighting!

Or maybe this is... ('Ortonish' works really well for hair-focused photos!)

On a side note, I wanted to make sure to mention that this is the shortest skirt I feel comfortable wearing. (I have one other exercise skirt that hits a little bit higher but still below the knee.)

It is high-waisted therefore it kept slipping up after I put on a nylon slip right before we left. It was in the dryer until right up to when we had to leave! I have also thought about wearing another fairly short white skirt under it in the summer months so that it just peaks out and makes the zig-zag hem more noticeable.
                                                                                     Can't wait to try it out!!!

No... I did NOT mean to make a 'peace sign' or bow! It just turned out that way...

This is what I woke up to this morning... Okay, it was pretty after a whole week of nothing but black, gray, and brown slush!

So what have y'all been spending your time on recently?

                    I have:

• Looked at the same stars you look at each night.  [Orion's my favorite!]

• Finished my grade 9 Bible curriculum. [YAY! Only 3 more books/grades left!]

                   Do you like eyelet?
                         Have you ever watched "I Love Lucy"?
                                   What have you finished this week? {Book, project, grade, cleaning,etc...}
                                                  How short of a skirt do y'all think is modest and pleasing to the Lord?

                                                                                      Thanks ever so much for reading!
