Since my last post, I have started two new jobs, come down with strep throat, and gotten into a wreck. Life is defintely eventful! But God is good, and i'm so thankful for His constant grace.
I've had some extra time to catch up on the local fashion scene, and I have to be honest i'm a little bit disappointed. The problem I always have is that I envision great pieces in my mind, but I can never seem to find exactly what I want in stores. I suppose that is justification for me to sew and create my own clothes. However, I have seen a couple of styles that I like online, which is such a great resource for shopping! You will almost be guaranteed to find something that you like if you look hard enough.
These are all from Modcloth.com:

These shoes are from Lulus.com, and totally remind me of a pair of Candies that I used to have way back in the day. It's amazing how styles always come back around. It kind of makes me want to be a hoarder and not throw out any of my old clothes... okay, not really :) All the more reason for thrift stores!

Lately i've been really praying about being more giving. I am the kind of person that can get so incredibly swept away in fashion and buying that it's very easy for me to lose sight of how blessed I already am. I have a (jam-packed) closet full of clothes, some of which I buy and never wear, and I seem to constantly want more. I live in downtown Augusta and I literally have poverty at my back door. It has been eye-opening for me to see what is really important in life, and what I value. I do love fashion, and I do believe that God instills within us things we love to glorify Him. So, my prayer right now is that I will learn how to use the passions that I have in life to bring honor and glory to His kingdom- and not for selfish gain.
He is just so good....
