remember the Tartans

 To me this pic has a bit of an "old" feel to it, cept for the smile.  In those old black and whites they didn't smile.

(below) This is my "quirky" picture. It makes me chuckle. Kinda strange eh? ;)

my "Vogue" shot.

black leggings: I've had for a long time

Vintage Plaid tartan kilt: tag reads "Made in Great Britain  from Pure New Wool for the Edinburgh Woollen Mill"

long sleeve blue shirt: Target 

A girl at Bible School passed this plaid skirt on to me.  This is my tartan kilt. I don't know much about Tartans. It's a cool piece. It actually has leather buckles.  I hardly ever wear it. I may take this pics and post it onto my Etsy shop to sell it. 

I took these pics a couple of weeks back. Since I took them my sister graduated bible school. It snowed and the snow stayed. I got a job!  

I won't be posting "Fashion Blogs" as often because of the job I started and because I'm more busy now.  My job is not as conducive to outfits like this. I wear my L.L. Bean Mary Jane clogs almost daily. The are Mary Jane's instead of a closed clog.  I do get to wear "normal" clothes.  I am using my CNA licensing but get to wear jeans instead of scrubs.  I have wondered about wearing scrubs, that way people know I'm associated with the nursing profession.  

On another note, I got all of my Christmas Shopping done.  I do need to make a present though. I will be making Peacock Feather Earrings for my sister.  I'm writing it "aloud" knowing she doesn't read my blog.

Merry Christmas! I've got things to do! Like wrap presents and eat pecan pie.

"Tis the season to be jolly!"

That is definitely a JOLLY coat! I think Mrs. Santa Claus would be jealous!

Yeah, I guess I am a bit sassy sometimes.  I have personality! (I have had times of being very shy...like in high school, I was shy and awkward. Fun stuff.)  

Doing this project of having my outfits photographed daily is teaching me things about myself.

  

1. I like my more sassy full of personality pics.  Some of the "quiet" pictures aren't that fun or me.

2.  It helps me dress better. To be honest sometimes I dress kinda quirky ;) It actually gives me motivation to put a creative/fun/nice outfit together.

3. I'm learning about getting photographed.  I keep asking my mom to do it because she does a good job! "Go mom!" (and she's patient and she doesn't *sigh* about it.) There have been times in the past and I'm "posing" for a picture and in my head I think I look good and then I see it and it's like "ewww!" We don't always know what we look like, whether good or bad. 

4. I wear a lot of blue and green 

I visualized this outfit while in bed. I did visualize it with a different belt but ended up with the all black.  I am an artist so at times I can see in my head what could go together.  But then there are times when I take this and that and see what works. Yes I have those days where I try on 3 to 5 outfits.  I feel like everything doesn't look that great.  Do you have those days?  It can be painful.

I went to church with my parents today. Normally I drive about 1 hour to my own church.  The sermon today was exactly what I needed to hear. There was also a worship band at church called "Beyond the Veil." They did some great 3 part harmony! It was 3 sisters singing, one was on drums, one on electric keyboard and a young man on bass.  

My younger brother is leaving tonight to go back to Liberty.  Bummer. It will only be my mom, dad and me at home.  I hope to find out about a possible job this week.  

The Christmas tree only has 2 ornaments on it and lights. Krista and Anthony put the duo of ornaments on, side by side, they're actually touching.  Little love ornaments?  Lonely little tree. I'll probably work on it  tonight with my mom.  

Soon we'll be sitting down for more Thanksgiving leftovers!
