cream skirt

SPRING IS HERE. so, naturally, the bright colors are coming out:) yay! haha. I love this time of year! 1) everything is green, blooming, and beautiful. 2) it means summer is  j u s t  around the corner..eeepp! 3) and since summer is around the corner, that means school is almost out..hallelujaaah!!

anywhoo, here's my outfit from church today.

skirt: Forever 21
shirt: thrift store (Cabi)
shoes: Forever 21

not like you can see them very well.. but here's my accessories:
earrings: Forever 21
necklace: turquoise teardrop from Etsy
bracelet: simple gold bracelet with initial "M" from Etsy

I usually try to pick out my outfits for church the night before, but last night I was too tired. so this morning I was like, "oh joy. what to wear todaay.." then I realized the first day of spring was 3 days ago, so I went straight for this blouse I found at Goodwill a few weeks ago. it's so fun and colorful, and goes great with this cream skirt! also, I did my hair today. I like it like this. :)

bow: Claire's

I was curling my hair this morning and realized I needed to leave in 5 minutes, so I did a quick curl. the result was a super poofy-looking section of my hair on each side, so I tied it back with a little rubber ponytail and put this bow in. I like this look! super cute and super simple. I don't like pinning the whole front half back I've decided, so I left my bangs (they're hardly bangs, they're just about as long as the rest of my hair) out in front.

the Sister Missionaries complemented me on my outfit, so I think that means it's mission-worthy attire. ;) it's best to prepare for modesty now, rather than last minute before your mission or marriage in the temple! you should be modest always. being modest shows others that you respect yourself, and your body!

love, megs. :)

corilynn skirt

I started following Corilynn on Facebook almost a year ago, and have loved Cori's style ever since I saw her first item of clothing. the skirts may be a bit expensive, I got this skirt on sale, but it is soo worth it for a modest and cute skirt or dress! not to mention the skirt is SO comfortable and it's such good quality!

skirt: Corilynn
shirt: Express
shoes: Forever 21

so this was a pretty fun outfit! I loved mixing the patterns and jewelry today. the skirt's pattern looked really good with the small polka-dot pink shirt. I like mixing and matching patterns. it can be a bit tricky but it's way fun when two items of clothing totally work together!

necklace: Target (clearance section.)
bracelets: Forever 21

I also tried mixing and matching my jewelry today! it worked out well--I think! haha. my sister told me a bit ago to try and mix gold with silver. I kind of looked at her like she was crazy! haha. but I tried it a few weeks ago, and today, and I like it! I feel like it depends on what you're mixing together when it comes to gold and silver pieces of jewelry. my necklace had those clear jewels, and so did my bracelets--so it worked! I had silver shoes on to go with my necklace, but I had shades of pink on today that went with my bracelets as well!

so, just some fun little things to think about today. mixing and matching looks great and it's always fun to spice things up every once and a while!!

love, megs. :)

black pencil skirt

here's today's outfit!

shirt: Forever 21
skirt: Banana Republic (thrift store)
shoes: Forever 21

last night I set my alarms to get up exactly an hour and 45 minutes before church so I would be ON TIME and READY..so my moms comes in my room at 8:13, church starts at 9, and is like, "Meg, your alarms didn't go off!" soo I freaked out. lovely situation, right?? haha I got ready on time though, thankfully!
so, these shoes are about 5 and a quarter inches..needless today, I couldn't walk for a few minutes once I got home and took them off. whoever said beauty is painful was so right, it's not even funny! haha breaking in shoes isn't always fun, but it's necessary! I'm going to buy some sole inserts so I don't eternally bruise the balls of my feet!! haha

I've decided I really only like one hair style on me, and that's my hair down and curled..but having my hair the same way each week is boring! haha I like putting in back sometimes, and throwing a bow in there is fun too. :)

have a good week everyone!!

love, megs. :)

pattered maxi dress

don't you just love those moments you walk into Target telling yourself: "OKAY. I'm here for a reason: just the items on my list. and that's IT." but the clothing section is RIGHT THERE, and you can't help but just walk through, thinking you won't get anything.. I think most of us can testify that does not happen very often. this dress is a result of me saying I'm not getting anything while at Target earlier this week. maybe I jinxed it..oh well. haha

dress: Target
shoes: American Eagle

this dress is kind of a lot to handle.. haha multiple patterns in one piece of clothing has never really been a thing of mine, or something I've wanted to have! haha but I saw this dress, I've been looking for a maxi dress like this for awhile, and I liked it so I got it! and hey, life is short..buy the dress, right??;) hahaha. well, only if you can afford it. if not, and you really want it, try to work for it--it's worrrth iiit!

this dress isn't quite completely modest by itself though; you can't tell in the pictures, but the back of the dress is pretty low and the front kind of was too. so I wore a nice white undershirt, that covered everything perfectly, to make it modest. I love how simple making things modest can be! I emphasize the word "can" because it is hard to modify our clothes to make them modest a lot of the time--but it's very worth it!

today I hope you all remember that doing your own thing when styling and putting together your own outfits is a really great thing. as you come to find what you like and don't like in clothes, you're growing your personality and your own sense of style. so make sure to be confident in your own style and with your true self!

love, megs. :)

floral skirt

it was Stake Conference weekend this weekend so I got to wear two outfits..yay! haha

sweater: Forever 21.
skirt: thrift store (my favorite place to shop!).
shoes(not pictured; black booties): Qupid.

so lets talk about thrift store shopping for a bit here.. we got a Goodwill near my house about 2 years ago and, seriously, it's amazing. a large portion of my favorite clothes are from there. thrift shopping is one of my favorite things! there's soo many good items you can find at thrift stores, it's so fun mixing and matching styles to make them look amazing! you need to try it!

also, this is how I did my hair! just french braid your hair like normal, twist into a bun, and bobby pin it down, making sure it's secure on your head. suuper easy and suuuper cute! I'm not very fond of styling my hair up, but I thought this was fun. so I'll be trying to do more with my hair!

basically, go to thrift stores and make some outfits for yourself! haha it's super fun and really cool to be able to wear what you out together:)

love, megs. :)
