Modern Western in Denim || Today I Have...

Hey y'all! Here's an outfit I wore quite a few weeks ago to our Sabbath group and to church the following morning. If you've been 'following' our blog for a while, you may notice something a bit different about this Sunday outfit. I'm wearing a jean skirt!

That's right! Jean. While there is absolutely noting wrong with jean skirts in general [Quite the opposite- I love 'em!], we have chosen as a family to not wear jean to church because it's just too casual... {I also mentioned this HERE} But wearing this outfit also made me do something else out of the ordinary: I ironed a jean skirt!

                      I decided to take my outfit photos with Havah since it is Western themed attire!

Remember this belt?  I got it on my birthday last year!

I got this shirt at a thrift store sale! I also got a yellow/white ombre one with the same style, the cotton stretch fabric on the sides gives it a different look [Not just a regular button-down] don't ya think?

I also got my purple undershirt at the same sale, it has short cap sleeves and a pocket on the front {Not shown}. First I had only the purple shirt on under, but since I was leaving the blue shirt unbuttoned, it wasn't quite modest enough, hence the other white under-undershirt! Also, it wasn't very warm out yet!

Doesn't this gibson tuck go beautifully? Cassie added the braid for a little depth.

I finally managed to get a decent shadow picture of myself!

My horse and I.

Today I have:

• Yet again woken up early! I love it when the sun rises at 6:30 a.m.! [No, that wasn't sarcastic!] I have to force myself to stay in bed 'til 7:00, no kidding! This morning I thought it was at least 9:00 and I get up, check the clock, and it's 7:30! :-)
• Started memorizing Matthew 5:43-45 for my English curriculum. ⁴³ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
  ⁴⁵ That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
•  Missed my goat. Last Sunday she died of unknown causes. :-(
• Tried to corral 4 ducks with an excited 22 month old! As you can imagine, it didn't turn out well. The ducks ended up in the swamp and we ended up in the dust. 
• Changed fractions to percents.
• Drew a bar graph of  "The Area of Four Small European Countries".
• Journaled, as I do almost every day! [The spell-check insists that 'journaled' isn't a word!]
• Held Ira, our wild baby rabbit.
• Collected a freshly layed, beautiful, brown egg.
• Listened to Vicky Beeching's music. She has some really good worship songs!
• Learned to play "When the Saints Go Marching In". Oh how I long for the day when I can play Erin Bates version! 
• Ate an orange.
• Been constantly amused by the little girl we babysit. Toddlers are so crazy! Especially when they can talk but still babble!
• Not pinned anything on Pinterest. [Yet anyway!]
• Had spaghetti and fresh bread for lunch!
• Wished the new Duggar episodes were up on Youtube already.
• Been thankful that someone even takes time to upload them! What would I do without their show?!  ...Probably more schoolwork.    ;-)
• Hauled give-away to the van to bring to church for the summer yard sale.  Tonight we have to price/sort/go through all the donations! 
• Finished this post!
  
  
   Have you done any of the same things as me today?
   Have you heard of Vicky Beeching before?
   Have you ever ironed a jean skirt or jeans before?
  Does your church have an annual yard-sale?
  
   Thanks for reading!
