Winter's Come & Gone

Guys, it's almost here!! Spring is almost here!! Who out there is as excited as we are? Well, considering that warming weather is on it's way, we figured it was about time to post some pictures that we took of outfits a couple months back... yeah we are kinda behind! 

So, as I said, a couple of months ago, we got together at our hometown part and decided to take some blog pictures! We had stuck at our houses for days because of snow, so getting out was a must! So, without further adieu... here's some outfits we hope ya'll get some ideas from! 

We absolutely love all the places and opportunities to take pictures at the park! 

Lacey decided to mix a little spring in with her winter outfit. This floral skirt works perfect with her riding boots and denim jacket. Adds color while staying warm! 

Samantha decided to bring in some Aztec print to her outfit. This vest with a pop of red brightens up and adds character to a simple denim skirt. Casual yet stylish! 

We hardly ever do multiple outfits for a few simple pictures, but hey, every now and then it doesn't hurt to present more options to ya'll... granted changing in my car was an experience never to be repeated! HaHa

*** We found some snow to help with our winter-themed photoshoot!! ***

Lacey decided to mix neutrals in this outfit with her brown boots and belt along with a black skirt and gray shirt! She also makes a statement with a bubble statement necklace that should be apart of ever girl's wardrobe!

Samantha ops for a vest to add a little layering to her outfit. Paired with this gingham shirt, she adds a little pattern and tops it off with an amazing fan shapes statement necklace! Finally, she also chooses a classic and comfy black knit skirt... an essential piece in every closet! 

Here's hoping you guys got some good ideas about how to dress up some winter clothes! Hope to see you guys in the near future with some SPRING clothing! Thanks a bunch and God bless!

Quite the Character

So, weather here in the mountains has been crazy cold the past couple of weeks. I personally was getting tired of wearing just the same old plain sweaters. Since I have become known for layering things with collared shirts, I decided to try something I had seen on Pinterest (imagine that!). I got this fox shirt from Old Navy back in the fall. I always struggled with what to wear it with because it seemed so casual and for the fact it has a fox on it (granted I have been obsessed with foxes lately..). So I decided to layer it with a denim shirt and ta-da!!! Gotta say, I'm pretty proud! HaHa. So the moral of this fashion story is: when in doubt, Layer it!! You might just find a new way to wear that casual tee that you had no idea what to do with. Now, I just chose to dress it up a little with a black skirt and boots, but I also decided to show ya'll and more laid back way to wear it. 

I have to put on the record, denim skirt are the world's best invention in modest dressing. You can put basically anything with them! It's like magic! It also means that you can wear cute shoes with them, like these awesome Keds! They add a little style and comfort! 

So, here's hoping weather is good wherever you are! But, as long as it's freezing here, we will accommodate in a fashionable and modest way! God bless ya'll!

Make A Statement

Bubble Statement Necklaces are my all time FAVORITE! (Can you tell?) 

As ya'll have already heard, we visit Pinterest a lot! Well, ever since I've started pinning, I would always come across these really cute outfits with all kinds of extravagant necklaces... or, statement necklaces.. and you could say I've become quite obsessed with them! No lie. Over the past couple years, I have managed to collect quite a few. So I decided to post some of them on here in hopes that ya'll will fall utterly in love with them as I have!

Love this funky and fun fan-shaped
statement necklace! 

A little shine never hurt anyone! 

Love it when you find a cute one of these
at a great price! P.S. this was only $3!

Love, Love, Love bubble necklaces in
every color imaginable! 

Why wouldn't you want a gold chain
around your neck? HaHa. Super cute!

 So, here's hoping you are inspired! Statement necklaces are a great addition to any modest top. They add a little flair while still allowing you to cover up! For these and others like them, try visiting your nearest Cato Fashions, Charming Charlie, or even Amazon! Trust me, you won't go back to regular jewelry! Let the twelve-step interventions begin!

Ole Trusty

Winter weather is moving in at my house, unfortunately. I'm simply not ready, but it's getting closer without my consent. If I had things my way it would be fall all year long and I could wear ole trusty every day! This jean jacket has been very good to this gal, but the weather is getting too cold for it, so I figured I'd wear my favorite statement piece one last time today. 

Today had no specific celebration, only a day spent in cleaning, running errands, and spending time with my family. BUT, that's celebration enough, right? So, first thing I thought when I woke up this morning was, "I'm going to wear my pajamas ALL DAY!" But, considering I do that almost every Saturday, I figured it would do me some good to put actual effort into my appearance. This outfit was nothing difficult to put together since my jean jacket has been a go-to for months now. The lace dress was an inexpensive buy about a year ago. It has some extra material sewn onto the bottom since it started off a little too short for my liking. I'm a "cover up those knees" girl. Better safe than sorry! I paired it with some black leggings (since I'm too poor and unconcerned to buy another color).

The boots are...are you ready?...FROM WALMART! I know, it was unreal since most clothing items I buy from Walmart doesn't prove to be well made. This buy made me so happy. A lot of girls are shoe shoppers and shoe lovers. I neither like wearing shoes, nor do I like shopping for them. SO, these boots will last me forever. Okay, probably not...but here's to hoping. 

Although I like my trusty jacket my favorite part of the whole outfit has to be the scarf. 

I knew in this weather it may not bother me to still sport my fall wear, but I should at least look like I'm trying to dress warm. This folks, is what I call my "table cloth" scarf, because it literally reminds me of a really dramatic table cloth. Thanks to it, this girl didn't die of frost bite or hypothermia today. Okay, I exaggerate a little bit sometimes...

Well, here is my outfit. It's time to go put away my ole trusty. I hope it's warm where you guys are!

Spots & Stripes

 Hey ya'll! Hope everybody is enjoying this fall weather as much as we are! I know it is my personal favorite season of the entire year! Fall also means we finally get to break out the scarves! Whoo Hoo!! But, how many of you have those printed scarves that you just love but can never find anything to go with them? Yeah, me too! So I decided to experiment the other day! With the help of Pinterest (Thank you Jesus!), I have come across several daring pattern mixes, but the black stripes and leopard mix has become my favorite! (Not to mention I have been crazy about leopard lately! Post soon to come!) Well, I just so happened to have a striped shirt and new leopard scarf... what about that!!?? So with the help of a black pencil skirt and brown belt to tie everything together, I came up with this outfit!! It just goes to show you that you shouldn't be afraid to mix patterns together (within reason that is!). So, go for it! Make that favorite scarf of yours go with anything! You'll thank us later! HaHa! So from Lacey & Sam, Happy Fall!!





Bonus:
Hope ya'll enjoy this video! It will crack you up!

Being a Joseph

Hey y'all! I know it's been quite some time since we've posted. Life has really kept us busy lately, and thank the Lord for it! As much as I would love to throw out new ideas and discoveries on here every day, I'm just so appreciative of the opportunities the Lord has given to both Sam and I. He has kept our lives occupied with jobs, school, helping others, and our service for Him. The Lord is so gracious. 

That being said, I don't have an outfit post for today BUT, I do want to take this time that I have to talk about some things that have been on my heart lately. 

I had a bible study with a dear friend of mine the other day and when it was all said and done I asked him "who in the bible do you want to model your life after?" Of course Christ. But there are so many people in the bible who have admirable attributes, ones that we can strive for. For instance, I want to trust the Lord like Rebekah did when she left everything she had known to be wed to Isaac. I want the unconditional love that Paul had for the Lord and the people. He was stoned in Lystra, only to return with a fire to preach again. Mary Magdalene was committed to the Lord and gave everything she had when she gave her box of ointment. The three Hebrew children knew their fate was the fiery furnace, and they told the king that even if the Lord did not save them from it, they still would not bow to a false God. There are so many inspiring people in the bible, and the fact that they are like you and me makes them even more inspirational. 

My favorite though is Joseph. His family despised him from his youth, he only had one person to lean on, which was his father. He spent his life in bondage and surrounded by people who he did not truly know. He had no family. No friends.No wealth. No way home. Nothing of his own. He was tempted, misunderstood, and he was unaware of how the Lord was using his life behind the scenes. Yes, we see how the story ended, but Joseph had no clue what was going on!! Yet, he was faithful. He could have built up hatred in his heart, he could have pitied himself, and he could have taken advantage of temptation, but he still walked with God. Everyone he came in contact with he blessed. He blessed the king, the land prospered, and his family benefited. I want to have the humility that Joseph had, and the relationship that he had with the Lord that kept him going all those years. I want to bless others no matter how they wrong me. I want that same forgiving spirit, and every day it is my own cross I have to carry that gets me closer to being a Mary, or a Paul, or in this case a Joseph. 

Reading about the lives of these people make me want to strive so much harder, so that some day others can look at me and say "I want to be a Lacey." The Lord has used these servants to teach us how to be a servant as well. How amazing is it that every day he is using us in the same way!
