Vintage 1920s Look

Today was Old-Fashioned Sunday at church! When I think of "old-fashioned," I think of the 1920s...maybe it's because I just watched Great Gatsby Friday night! But, I am in love with that era! From their hair, to their flawless make-up, and their beautiful dresses...I love it all! I am a sucker for vintage looks, and I took this opportunity to wear my vintage looking a-line dress, white floppy hat, and s-curls in my hair for church! I found two awesome tutorials on YouTube that helped me tremendously with my hair and make-up. If you ever need to dress up, check them out!

How many of you would have rather lived in those days? They truly were the epitome of classy fashion!

Chambray & Floral

TGIF! It's been a LONG week and I'm SO excited to spend a (hopefully) calm weekend with my hubby. But, on to the outfit...I LOVE this skirt, it's my favorite! When I worked at Ann Taylor, I got SO many great pieces for so cheap! I really miss working at Ann and getting to be around clothes all day...it was definitely easy to get outfit ideas there! (I miss that discount, too!) I will forever be an Ann Taylor and Loft girl! :)

Today, the Modern Modesty photo challenge is statement necklaces. This is my favorite necklace I found for $10 at Forever 21! Love it!

Color Blocking: Mint & Cobalt

I found this cobalt skirt yesterday at the J.Crew outlet for $12.00! I was SO super excited, because I have been looking for a cobalt skirt for a while! Being on a Christian school teacher's budget, I can't buy all the things I want, (which is totally fine), so when God sends me items on my "want list" that are under $15, I can't help but squeal with excitement! I'm so blessed! I may never be able to buy a full-priced item from any store, but I would rather be in God's will, than have all the finest things here on earth! My husband preached a great sermon this morning in chapel about living your life for God and not vanities that will pass away when we die. I am so glad that I chose to live for God as a 15 year old girl, and I'm perfectly content with buying sale items, thrift store finds, and driving a used car for the rest of my life.
True joy comes from God, not materials! :)
Now, on to my outfit...Today's challenge is color blocking. I paired my cobalt skirt with a mint striped shirt and a mint cardigan. I also found this beautiful statement necklace at Rue 21 for $12.99! Rue 21 is definitely my new go-to store for jewelry, since I don't have a Forever 21 anymore!
