my attire on Sunday (vol. 12)

What I Wore SundayIt is, indeed, that time once again!

This week was honestly one of the longest and most emotionally draining weeks in quite some time. As I’ve mentioned the last few weeks in my Quick Takes, there are loads of new opportunities in my life! All of them are great, it just means that I feel like I’m spread a little thin some days, but I’m excited to see where God is taking me!

Also…during the day on Friday I heard back from the only other publisher I submitted a book proposal! Tune into this week’s Quick Takes for another big announcement!

That being said, this edition of What I Wore Sunday may as well be called the I-made-my-own-dress but-not-really edition…

The deets:
Dress: not really a dress, but I had you fooled!
Gray turtleneck: Kohl’s. Ages ago!
Blue skirt: Ross?
Belt: Ribbon that came from a different skirt
Shoes: Pewter awesomeness, Payless, $15
Earrings: Same ones as these.

I took my pictures this morning before going to Mass.  Usually I take them after Mass when I am, you know, actually awake and have bothered to put my make up on.  So, excuse my not-so-awake-dramatic-flair this morning!

I love making up new outfits from pieces of clothing I’ve had forever! I love the shade of blue of the skirt, it is a nice pop of color after a dreary week, weather-wise!
Also, I keep getting my weeks mixed up and I’m half convinced that Lent starts this week. Thank goodness it doesn’t, I don’t know what I’m giving up/adding this year! Last year I gave up my snooze button (which was really hard, there are a few of blogs about it!). Any suggestions for this year? What are you giving up/adding?

I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend! Be sure to check out Fine Linen & Purple for more wonderful Mass attire!

    I love that you pieced together an outfit, and it looks completely “together”, like if it was a dress you bought that way. Very creative indeed!!

    You have inspired me to find a skirt I can also use as a dress. Love the blue with the grey!



  10. Amanda @ worthy of Agape on February 3, 2013 at 2:44 pm

    That is fabulous, I’ll be praying for you, that is a great goal!

    Thanks, Elizabeth! That was the idea 😉

    So cute! I love the ribbon around the waist. I think for Lent I’m going to read the REST of the Bible (as in, everything in it I’ve never read before).



  16. Beth (A Mom's Life) on February 3, 2013 at 12:03 pm

    Love what you did with the skirt. Wish I were as creative! (Will have to tuck this away for future reference!)



  17. Elizabeth Hillgrove on February 3, 2013 at 12:00 pm

    Very cute! You did fool me; I thought the dress came like that!



  18. Amanda @ worthy of Agape on February 3, 2013 at 11:26 am

  24. Kendra on February 3, 2013 at 9:44 am

    I love your creativity in your outfit today! I’ve done a similar version of this skirt to a dress trick. It really increases your wardrobe options! 🙂

    I am looking forward to reading your new news this Friday!



  25. Jenn on February 3, 2013 at 9:10 am

    I’m going to try giving up fighting with Donnie! It’s going to be a tough one because I think I fight with him once a day!!!! Pray for us (and for my sanity)!

    Cute (and very creative!)
