I don’t know about you, but when I google “simple hairstyles”, hairstyles that do not look simple at all come up. That might be simple if I was a professional, but… I’m not. So if I can do this hairstyles, so can you!

Summer Outfit Ideas

Copy of Shared Room.png

Summer is HERE! Though the break from school is awesome, the heat isĀ horrible. Here in Florida it’s been feeling like 100 degrees since March. AGG!!

Today I decided to share some outfit ideas that are great for the summer but are still modest!

I’m not really a dress person unless it’s church or something like that, but this dress makes me want to be! It would be perfect for vacation because it’s super simple but would go with everything. I love the fact that it looks really lightweight and comfy too!

It might just be me, but I’ve been seeing shirts like this one everywhere lately and I love it! I would probably add a tank top because the neckline is a little low for me, but it would be perfect with white jeans/shorts.

While these aren’t only for summer, I wanted to share a staple in my closet: bermuda shorts! I like this style of shorts because of their length: it’s SO hard to find shorts that are long enough.

I know I just told you guys that I’m not really a huge dress person, but I think I *might* be changing? I found so many dresses that I would actually love to wear! This one is cute or summer/fall and I love the length – I HATE those dresses that come down to the middle of your lower leg (whatever that means)! Give me a dress that comes to my knee or my feet, but not between!Ā (sorry for the rant there)

Eep I actually really love this dress šŸ˜Ā  I love the white background/pattern and the ruffle, but I wish it was sleeveless.

I love the shirt šŸ™‚Ā  This outfit is so easy but it looks great. Again, the shirt is super versatile (can you sense the trend?)!

Let’s face it, this is what I end up wearing every day. But this girl manages to actually look good in it… HOW?! It must be the Starbucks. *nods*

This outfit is so simple but it’s adorable! Personally, I think I would wear a shirt without the “ripped” neckline just because it’s not really my style (even though it’s not super low). Same goes for the ripped jeans, but I actually like that pair!

It was harder to find things than I thought! One thing that was hard was staying off Etsy! I’m actually going to be sharing my favorite things on Etsy soon, so look out for that!Ā šŸ’•

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

letter-h-hello-animation

I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is almost here! When you read this, I’ll be on the home stretch- the last day of school before Thanksgiving break. Yay!

Idea 1: T-Shirt and jeans

This is SO comfy and also really casual. A thanksgiving t-shirt would be super cute!

Belle Lily has a ton of cute thanksgiving themed shirts on their site. They’re really inexpensive and they also have a Black Friday coupon code right now, so definitely check that out. Here are some of my favorites:

Ā Ā 

How cute would any of those be with jean and ankle booties? It’s super effortless too! They also have a ton of long sleeved options for all of you lucky ones who actually have a temperature change during the fall season.

Idea 2: Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are GENIUS! They’re a great choice for thanksgiving too.

This sweater dress (picture credit) is a great idea! It mixes sweaters and dresses so well. This is the perfect choice if you don’t want to wear jeans.

This sweater dress outfit (picture credit) is also super cute. It’s simple and effortless but it looks adorable.

Idea 3: Coordinate!

This awesome compilation is perfect for families. There are lots of color schemes, and they’re so cute! Coordinating with your family is SO adorable. Plus, you can use all of these ideas for your own personal outfit too!

I hope you enjoyed this short (but hopefully sweet) post! I’m off to go make yummy goodies for thanksgiving!

My favorite Fall looks// Fall aesthetics

letter-h-hello-animation

Now that it’s finally 70 degrees in Florida (yes, that is cool for us Floridians, but I can’t wait for cooler weather!) I’m proclaiming it fall. lol When fall officially started, it was still 90 degrees, so that doesn’t count, right? Today I wanted to share some cute, modest fall outfits. I credited all my pictures with links to where I found them!

I love this look! It’s so fun and cute, I would totally wear this. Plus it’s very easy to recreate. I probably wouldn’t go with the ripped jeans, though.

This works for the fall that Florida gets, haha, but you could add a cardigan (turquoise would be fun, it would match that adorable statement necklace!) if you get a cooler fall.

So cute! I am not really a fan of ripped jeans, but the purse is #goals and I love how the Starbucks drink is an accessory (plus it’s an excuse to get #Starbucks so that you can have the perfect outfit picture… who can pass that up?).

I love this outfit! The sweater covers the back of the jeans, which is adorable and modest.

Soo… you guys know my idea of fall style now, lol. I love riding boots and little ankle boots, jeans are awesome with long cardigans, and I love blanket scarves. Such a pity that I never get to wear them 😦

Now, I’m going to share some of my favorite fall asthetics from Unsplash. Yay!

DIY: Clothing Inspiration Board

Hello to you! If you commented on my post a couple weeks ago asking you what I should post next, I received quite a few comments saying that they would love for me to post from the Modesty/Clothing/Fashion category, so I decided that you might want to see this. I made one of these a while ago and thought it needed a little update, so I decided to show you guys how to do it. It’s really very easy and so much fun and requires little ‘maintenance’ each week. It is also a huge help for picking out your outfit each morning, haha. So… let’s start!

Step One: Go to Pinterest, fashion blogs, Instagram, or even just google to find images that reflect your style, and taste. It’s a good rule of thumb to only select 5-10 images that you have on of the main pieces for. Once you’ve selected 5-10 images, put them in a canva/befunkey/word document and resize, crop and arrange them to make a printable document.

The supplies that I used were my printed document, scissors, magnets, and glue to attach the magnets.

WP_20180130_15_49_06_Pro

A closer look at the supplies.WP_20180130_15_51_59_Pro

Next, cut out your images.WP_20180130_15_53_53_Pro

(Excuse my sloppy work with the glue stick… XD) As you can tell, I glued magnets onto the cutout images.WP_20180130_15_55_29_Pro

The next, and very important, step is to select the place where you are going to place your items. I suggest something near your closet/dresser/dressing area. I hung aĀ  magnetic whiteboard on my closet door, and it works really well.

I then spread all my images out onto the floor and selected my favorites for the week.

WP_20180130_15_59_03_Pro

If you are using something you can write on, I highly suggest writing the days of the week out onto it.WP_20180130_16_00_20_Pro

Next, I grabbed my outfits and placed them on the days of the week where I would be planning on wearing them.WP_20180130_16_02_06_Pro

I also added a small spot for all the extra outfits that I didn’t use for the week.WP_20180130_16_02_46_Pro

This is what my finished board looks like. So nice!Ā WP_20180130_16_02_51_Pro

Well, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy this and that you make one for yourself as well. I promise it’s really helpful.

Whoops//Changes coming up

Hey guys!

First of all, So sorry that I haven’t posted in OVER A MONTH! Seriously, that’s awful! There are a couple changes coming up on the blog, just wanted to let y’allĀ know.

  1. Mutka (https://designpiquestudios.com/) is redesigning my blog! She’s amazing and so easy to work with. I can’t wait to get the new design up. Not sure when we’ll be done, hopefully in the next couple weeks or so.
  2. IDENTITY CRISIS!! Ahh! Okay, I exaggerated a little bit, but I’m not super sure what you guys want to see C & C (my little nickname for this blog) become. That is one of the reasons that I haven’t posted in a while; I’ve had ideas, but I haven’t been sure of what Y’all want to see.

Possible Post Examples:

And now my mind goes blank…

Books I’m reading:Ā Do you guys want to see what I’m reading? Not sure if that would appeal to you, but it wouldn’t beĀ tooĀ hard to post; I’ve been reading a LOT lately.Ā 

Book Review(s):Ā A couple of books I’ve been reading might be fun to review on here. If you want to see this, let me know!

Writing:Ā I’m in the planning stage of my new novelĀ that doesn’t have a titleĀ so if you want to see that journey on here, I could do that.

Modesty/Clothing/Fashion:Ā What do you guys want to see in this category? I could post a couple ideas that I’ve used for myself and maybe you would enjoy that. Not sure, though. šŸ™‚

Art:Ā Warning: I am NOT an artist.Ā This may not be the best category… LOL. I’m not SO great at art… enough said.

Organization/Minimalism/Downsizing:Ā This has been on my mind a lot, so if you want to see this let me know.

School:Ā Okay, okay, sounds super boring, but maybe you want to see this. IDK

 

What are some of your ideas for what C&C should become? I’d love to know, so comment below.
