Outfit of the day- Casual Spring Day- 5/9/14

Hello everyone!

Today I am doing an outfit of the day, as you can see by the title. This doesn't really need any introduction, so I am just going to jump right in.

First, I wanted to start out by saying I did not wear any makeup today. I don't wear makeup very often, mostly only when I am leaving the house for something more fancy than going to the store.

Now into the actual outfit-

This is just an overview of everything together, I will go into details next.

This tank is from Faded Glory, it has a very elaborate design so I went light with the jewelry.

This cardigan is from Old Navy and is very versatile and breezy for warmer days.

These shorts are from Mossimo Supply Co. (Target) and are again easy to pair with things without being distracting from the intricate design of the shirt.

Next, this pair of shoes are from Faded Glory, like the shirt. They are extremely comfortable and yet again very versatile.

Last, but certainly not least, this is the only jewelry I added to this outfit. These are a pair of dream catcher earrings that my Grandma gave me, so I don't know where they are from, but I absolutely love them!

 

That is all of my outfit, again I didn't wear any makeup today, so I have no products to show. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!

A Life Lesson

Hello,
I promised in yesterday's post that there would be one coming today, so here it is!

Not to long ago, I was reading my daily devotions and it was on how you are supposed to try to please God and not people. I honestly think it is such a struggle sometimes when you are doing something and all you can think about is pleasing someone through what you are doing. But what you really need to be thinking is how can I please God with what I am doing with this moment, and every other moment of my life. It is so hard not to try to work to please people, and I think it is something everyone struggles with at some point in time. But when you find yourself trying to please people, stop and ask yourself, "Why am I trying to please people, when I should be pleasing the Maker of these people."  Something it said in the devotion is- "We really want to be people pleasers, when what we really need to be are God pleasers."

Stop and think about it-
How are you tempted to meet expectations of people who are important to you, rather than resting in what God thinks of you?

Thanks for reading!
XOXO, Abbie

Update on Life and Where Have I Been?

Hello everyone!
I haven't posted in what seems like forever! I guess life just got a little crazy and I just couldn't post due to a busy time. I really needed a break from some things and am not going to go into details as to why, but life happens, so I took a break. But no worries, I am still alive and ready to start posting again! 

A few updates-
I have been crazy busy with school, and now that this is my last week, life will really be more open! I completed a high school swim season, and my team did an amazing job! With winning our girls division, winning districts, and having many go to states, with one stealing first place in the 100 yard butterfly! Today I start a club team for the summer to stay in shape and be ready for next season of high school swimming!

I can't even remember the last time I posted, so other things to fill in on are not in my head right now! So that's all for this post! 

Thanks for reading!
XOXO Abbie :)

P.S. Come back tomorrow, I am going to be posting another post! So don't forget!
