The Denim Shirt


Fall Fashion time is here! One of my favorite trends is the denim shirt. It's been around for a while but it's even bigger this year! Whether your shirt is dark or light, short or long doesn't matter. You probably have one hanging in your closet right now!  You can style this staple so many different ways! Here are a few ways for you ladies to wear your blue jean duds!! *disclaimer- these pictures are a work in progress! Maybe next time they'll be better- but at least for now you can get the gist!* 

Tuck that puppy in! Wear your jean shirt tucked into a skirt (short or maxi) or high waisted shorts or pants for a cutsie look! You can also do the "fraternity front tuck"- this is especially cute with colored skinny jeans!

As a jacket: Wear your denim top over dresses, rompers, or a tee- you can't go wrong. If you have a button up that doesn't quite button properly thus showing the gals off a bit too much this is the way to wear it! Leave that baby unbuttoned & you'll look super jazzy! 


Tie it around your waste! Although it reminds me of my 90's alternative rock, Nirvana loving teen years, I love this look. It screams I'm stylish & cool but I don't try too hard. 

Do's and don't's: Do wear mixed shades of denim. If your shirt is light denim, your pants should be dark denim & vice versa. Don't wear matching shades of denim- you will look like Brittany Spears & Justin Timberlake at the AMAs circa 2001. Do wear a fun belt & large colorful necklace if you wear denim on denim- you've gotta break it up! Do pop your collar if you're the preppy type! 


How about a what not to wear: Don't wear a short denim shirt with leggings- not even black leggings- just don't! If you want to wear a denim top with leggings make sure it's more of a tunic type top. Your entire crotch & booty regions should be COMPLETELY covered. I know it's comfy, but just resist. If your denim shirt is not long enough you can wear it as a jacket over a tunic with leggings! 

Tip: *Until it's cooler outside just roll up the sleeves for a breezier feel. Rolling up the sleeves before putting on your shirt makes for much more even & symmetrical sleeves- you don't want one side past your elbow & the other dangling at your wrist- not cool.*

HOPE

I arrived at New Life Church in Conway this morning wearing my red Arkansas Dream Center tee shirt, ready to serve- after all the shirt says SERVE on the back in huge white writing, right?!  I was fully anticipating meeting broken people- people who were angry, hurt, & in desperate need. I was prepared to roll my sleeves up & get dirty. To serve. *Boy was I wrong!* - So I reported to some friendly faces in the foyer of the church and said "Put me to work! What can I do?" It was almost 10:30ish and they were getting ready to bring lunch to all the volunteers helping to clean up the tornado wrecked towns of Vilonia & Mayflower, AR. So I was quickly introduced to the lady in charge of getting the meals distributed to the proper areas. I then was paired with another woman, handed a sheet of paper with directions, my car was packed with sack lunches & water & we were off to save the World. Me and a woman I only met moments before. As we drove up to Beryl Road i

It's finally here ladies! Longer days, shorter sleeves, bright colors, & happier moods! Time to paint your piggies a bright color & let them free after a long winter shoved in boots! Grill some veggies, eat some fruit, lay in the grass, stare at the blue sky, smell the breeze, smile, laugh, be happy! Shake those winter blues! Get in the yard & hula hoop, do handstands, ride a bike, take a hike, throw a party, BBQ, go fishing, walk with a friend, go for a jog, plant in your garden, just get outside! Hope in the future, live for the moment, bloom where you're planted, shine love, hope in the unknown! Thank God for today- because it is glorious!

The Last 3 Miles

I'm a runner...& by runner I mean I like to run 3-4 miles 5ish days a week. I'm a this is my me time runner, a this is when I talk to God runner, a I quit once it's uncomfortable runner, a y'all are crazy to run marathons runner. I love to run my few miles right after I drop my boys off at school- it's part of my routine, I pull back into the garage & hit the pavement without even going back into the house. My body knows what's happening, my mind is aware of what comes next. It's comfortable. This morning I decided that since I felt so good at the halfway point that I should just keep going! Some runs are easier than others, not sure why but your body just cooperates- this morning's run was one of those runs. I thought, "hey, I'll run 6 miles today!" Crazy. So as I approach the 3 mile mark I turn around & start back on the same path I have traveled, headed back home. Three miles there, three miles back. And can I tell ya, those
