She told me about it.
She sent me some with a note saying 'You're the only person in the world who could rock this fabric.'
Maybe she is a little generous but Hello??' I <3 Jesus with gold shiny Holy Spirit Doves'?? Yes Please!
I used a pattern that was an off-cast from one of my mama's friends.
Without the belt I look a bit like I am 7 months pregnant or how I still look 5 months after giving birth.
I love this fabric - I often think about making clothes that say stuff about the real 'who I am' more than just the 'I love clothes and dressing up' part of who I am.
I do love Jesus, very much. He is the source of who I really am and who I am becoming. At 34 I'm at that happy stage of my life where I feel entirely at home with this and I don't feel like I need to make excuses or try to convince people that loving Jesus doesn't make me weird, or crazy or deluded or brainless. Point is I find meaning and joy in this sometimes difficult-to-explain relationship and I'm happy to wear that on a black chiffon, 80s-esque printed dress with pink stilettos (even if I did slip over in the ice in them!).
outfit breakdown:

I love it. You totally rock that fabric. I love the pops of pink, it just makes the whole outfit perfect. Those last two photos are my favourites (though your boys are pretty darn sweet too!).
ReplyDeleteThe pink makes it work for me - I don't love wearing all black
DeleteRad! I am some-how reminded of Solid Gold Hits with this outfit, but in a totally good way. I guess I don't have so many slogan tee-shirts and buttons anymore, my message is a little more subtle in terms of reuse, recycle, upcycle (loads of thrifted stuff).
ReplyDeleteI felt very solid gold when I wore it!
DeleteSolid God hits!!
DeleteYou rock that dress!
