WIFD Saturday-Last day :(

Today was an around the house type day. My list for the day was quite long:

~go to the local thrift store

~work on ball gown

~take pictures of and post two scarves to Etsy

~take pictures and post for WIFD

~rewrite a Bible test for Monday

So far, I've done pretty well. The thrift store stop was great today I got:

A turquoise shirt/sweater (my wardrobe is considerably lacking in the sweater department)

A new set of earrings (because I can always use those)

A set of four art deco style demitasse cups and saucers

And a couple of necklaces and a pin

The necklace on the right opens to reveal a perfume holder

So that was one thing crossed off my list for today.

Then Shannon and I worked on my ball gown and got it to a very satisfactory point.

I have posted the scarves and am now posting my picture for WIFD. This is my most comfortable Fall outfit. It's completely from Christopher and Banks. I love the color and the warmness of it. I actually have to watch myself because I could wear it everyday if I'm not careful. :-)

The scarf is now in my shop.

Now, I need to get off the internet so I can rewrite the Bible test, and I will have officially accomplished everything. Whew!

Wifdee Friday

The school where I teach changed the teachers' Friday uniforms this year. They got fabric and a pattern for each teacher. Five of the ladies don't sew, or don't sew well enough to make this dress. So Shannon and I were hired to make the dresses for these ladies. Shannon ended up doing most of the work and last night she finished the last one.

I was able to wear mine today for the first time and thought it was a great thing to put on the wifdee for today.

The other lady who wore hers today also wore pearls, so we decided that pearls should be the official jewelry of Fridays. :-)

Week In Feminine Dress

First of all, thank you to Shannon for posting my outfit yesterday. I really appreciate it!

Today our K4 and K5 classes went on a field trip to miniature horse farm. The dress code was jeans and a nice shirt, but I don't own a pair of jeans, so I went with a khaki skirt.

One of the mothers was kind enough to get a picture of me with one of the horses.

This is my youngest student with the mother of the horse I was with.

One of the little girls looked like she had ridden a horse all her life! She was so excited.

This is the little boy on the horse. As soon as he got on, he turned to me and said, "Now I'm a cowboy, Miss Rott!"

All together we had 19 students there with us today. Of course we had to get a group picture. :-)

I have to say that it was fun being "dressed up" while on the farm! The skirt I wore I made from the pattern Shannon mentioned here. I found the undershirt and over shirt right before our trip out west this year at a nearby thrift shop. The undershirt is a basic white knit shirt. But the over shirt is made out of a lightweight cotton embroidered fabric. It was one of my favorite outfits on the trip. I also bought the jewelry I'm wearing out west in the Indian territories.

I don't know why you can't click on the pictures. You'll just have to trust me that the little boy who is petting the horse is cute. :-)

WIFD Saturday

Today was a puttering sort of day. I did various and sundry things. I wore the same thing I wore on Tuesday.

A cream knit shirt with my Ralph Lauren skirt. This is actually, probably one of my most worn outfits.

As I looked up into the tree, I got this amazing view.

Have a Blessed Sunday

WIFD Thursday

Today is the day I ride my bike to the family I babysit. Out of necessity then, I wore a black a-line skirt that wouldn't get caught in the gears or brake pads of the bike with a turqoise knit top.

WIFD Tuesday

Tuesdays are my busy days. I babysit/homeschool in the mornings. Voice lesson in the afternoon. Then right from there to tutor two children for two hours. Then home, time for dinner, and then right out to gym. Crazy days. It makes me grateful for the less busy days of the week.


Today I wore my basic cream knit shirt with an ankle length Ralph Lauren skirt I got at a thrift store. It's easy to move around in and chase after littles (the youngest girl I babysit is 2 and can run:-).

I will see you all tomorrow.

Week In Feminine Dress-Sunday

The Sense and Sensibility Forum has started their WIFD.

The outfit I wore yesterday isn't a new one, but I hadn't gotten pictures of it yet. It is a skirt and princess shirt out of a sea grea linen-look-alike (it wrinkles just like linen:-P). The over shirt is sheer with sea green color flowers in it. I found it about a year ago at a JoAnn red-tag clearence.

I made it to wear to the SAICFF for their awards night, but ended up wearing a formal instead. I wore this to church the next day. It is more of a Spring outfit, so I put it away until Spring-like weather came along.

Then, this past Tuesday, I went to a Lost Arts group at our church and one of the young ladies there had her hand made jewelry with her and I found a pair of earrings that matched the outfit exactly! So I got them and decided to wear the outfit on Sunday.

We also had guests this Sunday over to have dinner and I made a whole wheat shortcake for dessert. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures until it was almost gone.

The Blackberries, we picked from wild patches in our neighborhood.

Week In Feminine Dress Day 5

I decided to pose today with my dad's bike. I work for a family close to us on Tuesdays and Thursday, however, I don't usually have a car to get there so I ride a bike. My bike is a mountain bike and is rather straining on the back, so Dad's letting me use his. The handlebars are higher so I don't have to bend over. Actually I can sit up quite straight.

Here is a full shot:

This might be what I look like after babysitting.....or Shannon could've just been taking a really long time to take the picture. :-)

And this last one came to be because Shannon had just gotten home from teaching 4 and 5 years olds the violin, and was in a state of complete exhaustion. Whatever the reason, she declared it her favorite picture!

And after that, I guess there's nothing more to say. :-)

Week In Feminine Dress Day 4

Today is the forth day of the WIFD. The message board on the Sense and Sensibility website has a WIFD about every season. Each day of the week people post or describe their outfit for that day. This is used to inspired women to wear beautiful modest clothing as we accomplish everyday tasks.

Today was a busy day for us. Shannon had an allergy shot and violin lessons, I had tutoring. We had some other errands to run while we were in town.

Anyway, this was my outfit for today:

The skirt is a new one from Christopher and Banks. I love this store. I don't go there often, but everytime I have, I have found something that fits me and my budget. This skirt happened to be on the sale rack and I snapped it up quickly. The sweater my mom found for me at the thrift store. I love this colour and Mom knows it, so she always has her eyes out for that colour.

My hair has a definite mind of its own, but decided to cooperate with me today. (It must feel sorry for me because I'm sick. :-) Shannon took photos of it for me:

I'm not sure why my barrettes always end up crooked. Oh, well.
