live the light

Hopefully this will help me  slim down my closet some. But the point isn't to make my closet cleaner or organized but to give generously to others because I don't need all that I have. I will be following these guidlines but ultimately I wilp be trusting Jesus as I give away my clothes and my attachment to them.  25  “Therefore I tell you,  do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?   26  Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not of more value than they?" Matthew 6:25-26

It's day 21!!! It has been a fun, creative, and difficult challenge.  I mentioned last week what I have learned through my struggles through this project but it wasn't all bad my friends. It was also exciting to join my community in this and guess what I can totally survive off of 21 items of clothing, the world does go on.  The past month I have been traveling like a crazy person so selfies were not able to happen. However, I promised I would show you all the outfits I was able to come up with. Most of these outfits wer repeated many times as the weather does not like to co-operate here in the NW. I used polyvore during this project to help me get more creative with my items and I documented them just for you!  21 items 26 outfits  Now parden me while I go purge my closet... How'd your challenge go?

The IV NW Intern celebration! We had an amazing time in Socal last week! Six flags was crazy! I am addicted to coffee but this last week I think I've had boba three times! Uh-oh I sense  a new theme coming... I'm seriously missing my college family lately. This is just a few of them as we celebrated our good friends gett'n hitched a few weeks ago!  They are incredible! Also they had an awesome photgrapher..my friend Kaela! Good things just  come from those with that name, or so we like to think:) Have I mentioned how much I have loved the sun yet?! It has been in the 80's all week which is so not normal for our state but you won't find me complaining. I am soaking it up as much as I can! Happy Friday dears! What have been your favourite things lately?

Happy Wednesday! What will you diy today?

    Casual   I have been loving these casual looks these days and good thing I like them because that is about all I've had to wear. It's so easy to throw on a hoodie and jeans when I work on campus  but putting together some basics makes this casual look so much better!  It is day 14 of the 21 day challenge and boy is it challenging! I am getting a little tired of wearing the same tops but the good news is the sun has finally hit Oregon and I get to wear some items I have hardly worn because of the rain. So far I am realizing a couple things, one that my wardrobe looks way more exciting than it has in the past few months and two that I am totally attached to my clothes. No I do not need as many clothes as I have, but it doesn't mean I don't want anything.  As much as I love fashion as a hobby, I also use fashion to define my image and who I am. Most days I wake up thinking "shoot I have to repeat an outfit again, what will people think of me?&qu

The Cherry Blossom Trees are in bloom all over campus  and their beauty seriously gets me every time! I just got my first pair of ankle boots on sale last week! It's a little late  in the year to wear them and they are not in my 21 items right now  but I can't wait to wear them!  The Farmer's Market is back and I couldn't be happier to have beautiful and reasonably priced flowers in my vase every week! As her school year gets closer to the end, the more I miss her!  I cannot wait for my sis to get back to the NW and let me tell you how proud I am of her! She's in her natural element here, little miss photographer:)  Last but not least, it's Good Friday! It's a somber day as we remember Jesus' death on the cross. However I am so overwhelmed by his generous love as he became sin for us on this day so we could be with him and live freely. I'm overwhelmed.  He is way too good for us. What were your favorite things this week? Happy Good Friday!
