Feminine Fashion Week: Day 7: Sugar-Plum Fairy

Wow! I simply cannot believe it's the last day of Feminine Fashion Week! I hope you have enjoyed reading the posts, seeing ideas for modest, feminine styles, reading the interviews, and entering the giveaway. [And on that note, remember that the giveaway ends tonight at midnight so you'd better hurry and enter!] I know it's been a challenge for me to put together a stylish outfit every morning and make myself look Blog-Worthy. ;) But it's been a great reminder of how a little effort can pay off big-time. :)

So without further ado I give you the last outfit in this series:

Sugar-Plum Fairy

(No, you have no idea I was sweating in this coat--it's about 70 degrees right now. :P)

I was very pleased with how my hair turned out this morning. :) I literally just took strands of my hair and rolled them on my fingers, then pinned them in place. So elegant, but rather easy, if your arms are strong enough to take the time. ;) I made the hair-flower on the spur of the moment by sticking a hairpin up the center of the flower and splaying it's points out like a brad, and then sliding a bobby-pin through the looped end of the hair-pin. :)

My lovely earrings--another Black Friday Belk find. :)

 

 The total picture. :)

(And I do apologize for always being on the porch during these shots--we have a shocking lack of picturesque places in our yard. :P)

Brown Corduroy Jacket: Thrift-store

Plum-colored v-neck shirt: Frequently Pilfered from Mama's drawer ;)

Brown woolen skirt: Thrift-store

Earrings: Belk $5.00 or so

Hair-flower: hand-made

Day Five: Feminine Fashion Week: "Catholic School-girl" ;)

All right. I don't like these pictures of me, but the camera battery was dying quickly and I had to take what happened with grace, even if I look terrible in these pictures. :P

So meet the outfit my aunt has termed "The Catholic School-girl"

I love my plaid. :)

Uggggg.

Moving on...

My boots. Despite my recent discovery that walking 3 miles in them is *not* comfortable, on a general day of about-town walking, they are splendid.

My vintage apple-seed necklace. I saw one of these at our county fair and was enthralled by it, having never seen such a thing in all my life. The next week or so Sarah went to a thrift store and found one for me! :)

Today's hairstyle...something rather quick and random. :)

I got this cute head-band from a hole-in-the-wall shop owned by a little Asian lady.

Gracious. I seem to be the owner of only thrift-store clothes! ;) Oh well. There's nothing wrong with that!
