Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

My dear girlie girls, this will be my last post. I have really enjoyed writing on this blog. It has been my little escape where I could put my serious, girlie girl thoughts into words and share them with you. I have loved sharing with you my love for Jesus, the things that I stand for and my love for beautiful fashion and running. I hope that I have encouraged you in your walk as a Christian. I hope that you have been able to relate to me and know that there is another serious girly girl out there who is striving to live a life pleasing to Jesus, unapologetic about God's will for her life, and who loves to laugh and who loves to talk about fashion, running, chocolate and growing older gracefully and joyfully. I am going to miss writing in this little blog but it is time to end this chapter of my life. I love you girlie girls. Fight the good fight of faith and enjoy the little things in life. 

Love,
Your anonymous kindred spirit (If you've seen or read Anne of Green Gables, you know what I mean - and if you haven't you won't regret watching it or reading it).


P.S. I won't be taking the blog down, because I want to go back and read the posts to encourage myself :). 

A Decade of Bad Hairdos

I think the 80's was a decade of awful haircuts that required lots of hairspray, mousse, and bad perms.  I was watching Murder, She Wrote which mostly focused on upper class characters and I couldn't believe to what hairdos they've subjected themselves. The 80's made me appreciate today's hairstyles so much more, they were so much more elegant and feminine.  Today's hairstyles required little maintenance and mousse was optional. My eyes hurt everytime I saw another version of hairdos on Murder, She Wrote, whether it was on men or women. What were they thinking in the 80's? The fact that the 80's fashion was coming back I was worried that those awful haircuts were coming back.  I hope we had learned our lesson! Yikes. 

Are you the minority or the majority?

Hi Christian girly girl, when you feel like the minority in this crazy upside down world, where sin is celebrated and you feel alone and surrounded by your enemy, read these verses. And may God open your eyes, too.

2 Kings 6:14-17

14 Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 

A Thing of Beauty

I couldn't help but share this beautiful painting. It speaks to my girly girl heart. This painting speaks volumes without stating a word. The artist has captured the femininity of a woman. I could look at this picture all day long and not get tired of it. It is a thing of beauty to be a well dressed woman and the artist captures the feeling that one has when wearing that perfect dress for the perfect occasion. I look forward to the spring and summer weather to wear my floral dresses. 

Oh Pantyhose, Pantyhose

Pantyhose complete my business attires.  They complement my beautiful cream blouses and my skirt suits. However, if they catch a snag they can ruin that awesome work outfit. Like this morning on my way to work my heel slightly brushed against my leg and now I have an imperfection that's going to take away from my lovely outfit that I took the time to put together. Oh pantyhose, pantyhose.

A Beautiful Girly Girl Dream of Tulle

Last night I dreamt I was in a boutique where there were tulle skirts on display in every length and color. Mint green, pastel blue, pink, black, white, off-white and so on. This dream was not an accident, because the day before I was on Pinterest browsing tulle skirts. Pinterest gave me many ideas on how to make a pretty tulle outfit that was "age appropriate", where one didn't feel like a little girl, but felt like a sophisticated girly girl who could wear it in her 20's, 30's or 40's. I just recently ordered a tulle skirt and was waiting in anticipation for it to arrive. This was one of those beautiful dreams that was going to come true very soon. :)

My Delicately Flowy Dress

I went to a special event last weekend, where everyone dressed up. I wore my new, cream colored, flowy dress.  I felt incredibly beautiful, delicate, and feminine in it. It was a dress that I wanted to wear everyday just to keep that lovely feeling going. I also enjoyed watching others around me in their fine clothes and was grateful that I was there that night.  One didn't have to be a teenager to have that wonderful girlie girl feeling. 

So here's a toast to beautifully delicate dresses and to events where we may wear them.
