What I have here is just what the title states: an outfit that was left behind!
I wore this on Resurrection Sunday to our family gathering. I seem to be wearing this green jacket a lot lately... ;-)
I have always wanted to do a picture with my face blurred in the background and it focused on brick! I can now check that off my imaginary list!
This was one of the few days in my life when I wore makeup. I don't have anything against makeup in general but I think some girls focus too much on "Oh no! I have to quick redo my mascara! Oops! I chipped a nail! I can't go anywhere 'cause I haven't 'put my face on'! Blah blah blah..." And let's face it, these days, make-up wearers are prone to overdo. Plus, it's just not practical for me to wear makeup. I don't leave the house very much, [a.k.a. 'go to town'] besides church and my chores here and at Pleasant Hill. And when I do, let's just say my horse doesn't care if I have long eyelashes! ;-D
Lately I have:
- Been super busy!
- Dreaded all of the work we have had to do.
- Been happy when the work was done.
- Missed my piano lessons.
- Regretted not wearing something more *Eastery. [*Resurrection Sundayish! Hahaha!]
- Made friends with a pair of wild geese that were living 20 feet away from our barnyard!
- Gotten a really sore throat and sore everything!
- Asked God to heal me before the next morning. [He did!]
- Cleaned a house that is directly from the 70's! [There is even orange shag carpet!]
- Not read any books. Or should I say many books? ;-P
- Sung "There is a Time" under a bridge.
- Not eaten breakfast.
- Gone to the beach.
- Woken up to a green world!
- Braided my hair every night.
- Read the book For Time and Eternity and it's sequel Forsaking All Others by Allison Pittman!
- Gotten rid of my winter flannels...
- Had to put the heat lamp back in the chicken coop because it was almost below freezing!
- Bought a new rabbit hutch I hope to fill soon with ducklings!
- Forgotten that I had this post to write!
Truly! I forgot that I never posted this!
Easter was a while back and the time has passed so quickly! Since my outfit was not very special I did not rush in the finishing of my post. But now it's done and I'm happy! I first wore this maxi dress to our Passover Seder with a gray/white button-up, blue undershirt, a blue headscarf, and white flats. I was very uninspired on Easter morning [clothes-wise] so I just kept trying different shirts/jackets on with the dress as the base until I arrived at this! I think it turned out fairly well! ;-)
Do you have days when you feel like throwing all your clothes away and starting fresh?
{I know that's a little dramatic...}

Never redo mascara. :-) Only apply once. Otherwise you will have a cloppy mess on your lashes. ;-) I like to wear makeup because it keeps me from rubbing my eyes and touching my face. ( which is not good for skin like I have lol )
ReplyDeleteI like your outfit!
Amanda
Unfortunately, I almost always forget I even have it on which results in something not-so-good. Just another reason I don't like wearing it. ;-)
