Get Ready, Get Set,...

GO CRAZY BECAUSE IT'S COMING!!!!!!!!!!!

An Unexpected Journey,

The Desolation of Smaug,

AND for the first time ever,

The Battle of Five Armies,

will be in theaters this October playing all three EXTENDED EDITIONS!!!!

IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!

^uh, YES!!!^

Anyway, *regains composure*

As you can see I am slightly excited.  Ok, super excited.

This is the link where you can find theaters in your area.  That, or see if you have to fly out and join me and dress up, for-

As you all may have guessed by now, I am planning to wear my Tauriel apparel to the theater again.  That, and perhaps my Legolas t-shirt. (an addition to my closet I had been meaning to post about, but never got around to)

(It is completely awesome in real life, but if you consider ever getting a juniors Hobbit shirt from the online shop, I would suggest ordering a size or two larger.  I'm probably normally a small or medium in juniors, and the medium of this is a close fit and almost too small.)

I had also once considered putting a tutorial on how to sew a Tauriel costume, but never got around to that either.  Perhaps I shall before the showing.

And, in light of the movies coming out, for Modest Monday I have decided to do...

I know it isn't exactly Monday anymore, but I wasn't able to post it then so I figured I might as well do it now, so without further ado,...

#1.  A Hobbit

I wore my long jean skirt, a sleeveless brown blouse(?), and a green sweater.  The last two I got at second hand stores.  Who knew, right?  I also wore a round gold locket that I have.

 Obviously I hadn't done my hair entirely, and bare feet would have been best, but I was in a bit of a hurry that day.

#2. Legolas

#3. Galadriel

#4. Frodo

#5. Sam

AND,

Until next time,

Namárië and God bless!

Modest Monday

Today was a beautiful, overcast, make-a-book-worm-happy kind of day.

For some reason he is a very sensitive dog when it comes to thunderstorms.  My mom, sis and I spent a good part of our morning in the laundry room with the fan on.

After all was said and done he was pretty tuckered out!

Anyway, after the Monday report, here comes Modest Monday!

Inspired by this quote (my favorite of all time!) and one of my favorite characters,...

...here is an outfit that totally shouts. "I AM A TOLKIEN FAN!!!!!!" (Surprising, right?! =D)

God bless, Namárië, and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Modesty and Feminism

To start at the beginning, for Lent I wore skirts every day.  I decided to do it in order to get more in the habit of being modest.

Recently my family and I were out in the yard pulling weeds. (homeschool perk!)   As I was shifting positions, I realized I couldn't just move any-which way.  I normally do yard work in shorts or pants, moving freely and sitting in any old stance.  With a skirt, it's much harder to do that, almost forcing you to have to sit or kneel in lady-like positions.  But, considering I am a lady, it just seems fitting that I should sit like one.  Girls wearing shorts or pants have blurred the the lines between girls and boys.  Modesty is a way to keep those lines clearer.  Boys shouldn't wear skirts anymore than, I'm beginning to realize, girls should wear pants.  We can still do the same things boys can, but in a more feminine way.  God created male and female, and we should keep it that way.

Also, for Modest Monday...

Totally Modest Tuesday

So yesterday was another crazy fun and busy day, so I wasn't able to post Modest Monday.  I just HAD to post this skirt, though, because I love it so much!!!

The tutorial on how to make it is here.  I will definitely be making this in the near future!

Modesty Monday

For this outfit I was inspired by my friend Vigi and instead of wearing my favorite blouse like I normally do, I wore a white t-shirt under it,  only buttoned it halfway, rolled it up, and tied it in the front.  Of course the skirt and the converse make the outfit quite complete! :)

Modest Monday

I know I haven't posted one of these in a while, so I figured I owed you guys. :)  Here is an outfit that I found that I thought would be appropriate for this season, the season of Advent.  I especially thought it would be a good choice because lately it's been non-stop raining!

Modest Monday

Today I have been inspired by my Thorin fandom when designing my outfit.  I know it's not the most authentic or accurate, but hey, at least it gives you an idea.

Here's the outfit I based it off of.

And to top off my Thorin fandom, here is one of my favorite images.  If Balin's name wasn't already on this quote, I would say it were mine. :)

Modest Saturday?

Once again, I have failed to post on monday.  So I decided to post it today.  And to start this post, I found a beautiful quote about modesty that I just had to share.

“Either we must speak as we dress, or dress as we speak. Why do we profess one thing and display another? The tongue talks of chastity, but the whole body reveals impurity.” 
                                                                    St. Jerome, Doctor of the Church

Anyway, here is an outfit that one of my homeschooling friends put together.  She also made the skirt and scarf.  So cool!!

She used the bird pin to add some bling!

Her blog is Here.  You should check it out! 

Hopefully I will post my Modest Monday outfit on time next week!

Modest Monday

Here's an outfit that is easy and most people (that I know) have on-hand.  I took similar clothes that I had in my closet and put together an outfit of the same style.
