Autumn Fashion Showcase - 5 -




It's the last day of the AMFS. :( This has been so much fun. Thank you again Marie for hosting it!

I saved a favorite outfit for this final day. I hope that you like it as much as I do!


The top of this dress is really weird, so I use a black jacket to cover it up and add some sophistication to the mainly casual feel of the outfit.

This is my favorite, favorite ring ever! I found it in my mom's jewelry box one day. She said it was my great-grandmother's and that I could have it. Yay!

My fringed boots, which I love passionately. I wear them everywhere and with everything. Sure, the whole fringed boot trend ended a while ago, but that is not making an impact on me! :)

~Specifics~
Dress~ Converse One Star at Target (For $7.50!)
Jacket~ DKNY
Tights~ They appeared in my sock drawer one day.
Boots~ Xhilaration at Target
Ring~ Vintage

Now, on the topic of dressing in a feminine way. I was at a conference today with my grandparents. During a break, I was walking around with my grandma, who always and anytime looks her best. Today she was wearing a simple and classy outfit composed of a long skirt, white shirt, and silk scarf. An older man, a total stranger, stopped us and said to her, "I am so glad to see a woman who is dressed like a lady. There just aren't enough of those today."

Wow. People do notice and appreciate women and girls who are willing to be different and be feminine! While I am not going to stop wearing jeans anytime soon, I am very willing to make skirts and dresses parts of my everyday wardrobe.

Thanks for looking!

This outfit is good for chilly fall days, as the hoodie is very warm. I love color, and this outfit is bursting with it! It's a very casual and easy outfit.

Hoodie~ Old Navy
Pink shirt~ SO at Kohl's
Jeans~ Levi's
Scarf~ I knit it myself :)
Hairclip~ A gift
Shoes~ Xhilaration at Target

The look I was going for with this outfit was friendly. The brown shirt was way too dramatic for my style without some tempering, so I added gentle touches with hearts, flowers, and a tee shirt in a happy color. Unlike yesterday's outfit, this one is very feminine and easygoing. It also includes my favorite pair of jeans. :)

Having fun with the autumn colors! ^_^

~Specifics~

Brown shirt~ Gap
Pink shirt~ SO at Kohl's
Jeans~ Old Navy
Beaded necklace~ Burlington Coat Factory
Heart necklace~ Charm from Michael's
Watch~ Merona at Target
Hairclip~ Ragstock

My second outfit for the Autumn Modest Fashion Showcase:

Urban cowgirl

This outfit is a bit of a joke. I would never be brave enough to wear it out of the house, but it's super fun to get out of one's fashion comfort zone every so often.

~Specifics~

Jacket~ DKNY
T-Shirt~ American Apparel (It has my cousin's band's name on it. Cool!!)
Cords~ Analog
Boots~ They were my mom's from her Colorado days. Vintage sweetness! :)

This is a favorite outfit of mine. It's easy to wear, includes some of my favorite accessories, and is tire swing compatible. (Very important!) It is very basic, nearly to the point of boring. So I enliven it with a nifty headband and attractive necklace.

Little things of beauty. :)

I love this cardigan. It is really light wool, very comfortable, and goes with anything.

~Specifics~
Cardigan~ Gap
T-Shirt~ Merona (Target)
Jeans~ Aeropostale
Hairbow~ Forever 21
Neckalce~ I got the charm at Michael's, the chain from... somewhere.
Hint: If you are looking for cute, affordable accessories, Forever 21 is perfect. So many cute, feminine, pieces . . . I could nuts in there!

Marie, thanks for hosting this event! And dear readers, I will get back to normal, non- entry posts soon. Life has just been . . . well, life lately. So cynical, I know. God still reigns, though.

Merry October to all and to all a goodnight! [Ooh, that was corny. I cringe! :)]
