I'm Proud to be an American

Happy Veteran's Day to all the men and women who were willing to fight for our freedom! Special thank you to my step-dad for serving overseas and risking his life for our freedom! We had such a great Veteran's Day service at our church yesterday, we honored the World War II Vets in our area who knocked over the barricades at the World War II Memorial when the government was shut down. It was such a privilege to honor them and watch their tears flow down their faces as we sang, "God Bless the U.S.A." After church, we served them a Thanksgiving dinner, and it was so nice to serve the men and women who were responsible for our country being free today!

I love how our cupcake flag turned out, too! Our assistant pastor's wives did a great job on it!

Today at school, we were allowed to dress casual in red, white, and blue! I love any excuse to wear a jean skirt!

My Geometry class looked adorable, so we took a picture! They love being on my blog! ;)

And last, but not least, my birthday boy! :) It was my husband's birthday Saturday, and he was coaching at the volleyball tournament, so I didn't even get to see him barely!

Mustard, Stripes, & Leopard

I love Sundays and I love my church! What a joy to serve the Lord every day! I love dressing up and getting to go fellowship with other Christians!

This is my first time to mix camel with black! I know for most it's not that big of a deal, but I was ALWAYS taught not to mix brown with black. This is about as close as I can get in mixing brown with black!

One Dress 3 Ways

Have you ever heard of Avenlie?? I absolutely LOVE all of their items! I found Avenlie searching for modest clothing lines to feature! The owner of Avenlie, Sarah is a sweet mom of two and has a passion for modest fashion! I hope you check her website out, and support her wonderful business! :)

I picked out the Orange Triangle Dress to review! I am in LOVE with this dress and the many styling possibilities it has! I wore this to work yesterday and got SO many compliments on it. My favorite part about this dress is the length! Many dresses come over the knee on me, and I just don't feel comfortable with that length, I prefer my dresses to hit at the bottom of my knee, and this dress was the perfect length! If you have a hard time finding dresses/skirts long enough, check out Avenlie's dresses, I'm sure you'll be as pleased as I am! My second favorite thing about Avenlie is their super great prices! This dress I'm wearing is currently on sale for $30! You know I love a good deal!!

First Look: This is the dress with no styling, just straight off the hanger. I love the gathered waist, it is a super flattering dress!

Second Look: This is how I styled this dress for work. My students all LOVED this dress and were asking me where I got it all day long. I added a khaki cardigan, braided belt, and nude flats for my work look.

Third Look: I love to have versatile items, and this is super versatile. This dress can easily be made "summery" with some sandals, and "fallish" with a jean jacket and some brown boots!

Which look is your favorite??
