Windy, frilly and pleats...

So, my last post styling Orange hue... was not floral inspired but I haven't forgotten my styling theme for the month...:) The title of this post speaks for itself. It was a hot super windy day and I was putting on a blouse with frills and a pleated skirt that kept waving to the wind..**grin.**
My floral inspiration pieces are accessories this time and though the wind made the photo shoot a little interesting, I'm glad I still got some pictures.

I had a wonderful time in church today as usual and the message was about "studying to show yourself approved of God." The main gist is that as Christians we have to make sure we are visible wherever we find ourselves (that is standing out positively everywhere and anywhere) and the only way we can do this is by constant communion with God. I hope everyone had a great Sunday too. I wish you all the best in the new week.

It was a hot, sunny and windy day and I was pretty much sweaty...thinking of getting an ice cold glass of water for dehydration.

Orange Hue..

 The weekend has been great so far. The only glitch is the weather. It was about 90 degrees in the twin cities today. It was scorching hot!! The forecast is pretty much the same tomorrow too. It's my friend's daughter's birthday today and we went to the buffet restaurant to celebrate. My darling hubby came along and it is always so nice when he comes for the kid's friends' birthday. His favorite thing to do is to pray for the kids on their special day. If you read my introduction to my blog, you must know by now that my faith is a big part of my life; every other thing is just secondary. Some people believe this is a contradiction. They think Christians are not supposed to spend time looking good and to this I just reply; "I don't spend time looking good-I just look good!!" Ha! Ha!!...:)

More so, after Christ was crucified, the roman soldiers cast lots for his clothing. You see that???..lol. His clothing was so unique that they cast lots for it! Anyways, I'll share with you and my future readers what I wore to the birthday party in this hot steamy weather. Aside from blazers, my other favorite clothing item are dresses and I am just gradually throwing in skirts piece by piece into my closet.

                 A little tired but still a supermom!..:)

I will share with you some more pictures from the outing.

Have a nice week everyone and please be safe as you celebrate graduations, birthdays and other parties.

Chocolate floral + Cherry

Today was an eventful day for me. I was busy every minute and second of the day and the only time I got a break was when I took my blog pictures and right now as I am doing the posting. I was off work today but woke up with work on my mind; house chores that is...:) Cooked, cleaned, returned some important international calls, fixed my daughters hair (They always have to look nice too..lol)

   I titled this post Chocolate floral plus cherry because of the colors in the outfit.

 I am wearing a chocolate eyelet jacket which is a tad too small but I love it because of its color. Jacket is apt. 9 from TJ Maxx. Red camisole is random purchase.

I later took my fifteen months old baby for her check-up and had to take all three kids (hubby was at work) and they all can be a handful..:). I'm only going to sleep for less than five hours and will be off again tomorrow. I have school in the morning, (summer weekend school) then I have to take the kids to a friend's daughter's birthday party. Some of my friends who are still single wonder how I am able to keep things together and I just smile and tell them it is God. "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." Supermoms are able to do what they do only by his grace.

Chocolate color bag and red nugget jewelry are gifts from my older sister.

Crispy blue...

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Mine has been a bit hectic (work, school..) but beautiful all the same. "Life is beautiful guys; no matter what would come our way!" If you have faith in God, you will know that he has given us strength to overcome all circumstances and you have to believe that all things work out for your own good all the time. That being said, I'll like to share with you one of my outfits that was inspired by June flowers..

   I titled this post "Crispy blue" because of the blue overtones in the jacket and skirt..quite obvious?   **grin.**

                                        
                                              Jacket: Thrifted. Previously worn here

                                                                Skirt: Nine West

                                                                    Bag: Guess

                                                White Shirt: Cold Water Creek

                                           Zigisoho pumps from Designer Shoe Warehouse

                          This box pleat skirt has white embossed flowers on it...not too clear from the shot

 

                                        White crisp shirt has detailed floral lace in front

 

                             
                              The jacket can always come off whenever it gets too warm...:)

                                                              Crispy blue look..ha! ha!!

I wish everyone a wonderful and fun weekend ahead. I have more floral styling to dish out for the rest of the month and would be happy to share them on my blog.  Remember to always have hope in every situation you find yourself and everything would work out for your good.
