What She Wore// Floral Top

I believe that Spring is finally here!
Today I'm sharing a very Spring-y outfit, worn by Layla.

Cute,  Casual,  Comfy. The shirt adds color, while the boots add depth and the earrings add texture. Love it!

                                              The shirt was on sale, a kinda of surprise find...

The earrings she made herself which is always better and more personalized.

She also fixed her in a messy bun!

-What She Wore-

Shirt- Dollar General $5

Tank- Target $?

Pants- Walmart $12

Boots- Army Surplus $30

Earrings- homemade

I love the mix of color and neutral in this outfit.

What about you?

Happy Spring!
Love,
Hagen

What She Wore// The Sojourner

Hey There!
We hope you enjoyed our Thrift Haul Video! Here's an outfit Hagen put together using some of her new pieces...

 She calls it 'The Sojourner'. It's a comfy, yet durable outfit. With her Vans and backpack, she's ready for an adventure! I love the denim heart knee patch. It's actually covering up a rip from when I fell while skateboarding down a hill :) I guess you have to get creative with hand-me-downs!

 You might recognize this printed headband from the video. We forgot to mention that it was $1. Not bad for a cute accessory, eh? I fixed Hagen's hair in a quick and simple boho do.

 -What She Wore-

skinny jeans- hand-me-downs

top- thrifted $3

gray tank- from a friend

Vans- Shoe Carnival $45

backpack- Walmart $18

headband- thrifted $1

I think it's a pretty stinkin' cute outfit, what about you?
Love from,
Layla

Sunday Style// Floral Dress

Hello Lovelies! 
I'm going to share an outfit post with you that is way over due. With Summer here and lots of work to be done outside, we don't really dress up much, except for church. Here's an adorable outfit Hagen put together a few weeks ago...

I really love this outfit, not only because it was pieced together cheaply, but also for the way everything complements each other. The neutral tones of the shrug and sandals counter the pop of the maroon flowers. And not to mention, it's modest!

-What She Wore-

dress: thrifted $8

shrug: from a friend

tank: hand-me-down

sandals: Wal-mart $10

Isn't my sister a beauty? She turned 15 last week (I can't believe it!), which I will be posting next. I hope your Summer is going great! 
God's blessings over you,
Layla

What She Wore// Oxford Pumps

Hello Dearies! 
 Today I'm going to share with you an adorable, vintage-y outfit modeled by Layla!
 It was a bit chilly out when we snapped these pics, so we decided to take them inside...

I like how the neutrals in Layla's skirt (which she made herself, by the way) blend well with her Oxford Pumps and braided belt, and the sweater adds a nice pop of color while also complementing her blue eyes.

-What She Wore-

sweater: Ralph Lauren- from a friend $0

braided belt: Ross $8

skirt: homemade $0

knee high socks: Walmart $5

oxford pumps: Payless $15

I think the Oxfords kinda tie this whole outfit together, giving it the vintage feel Layla was going for. 

 Over all, I really like this outfit! Cute and comfortable, modest and feminine, aaaaand on a budget! 

I hope you liked this outfit! Have a great weekend!

Love,

Hagen

What She Wore// Lovely Layers

Hello friends! I hope you are well. Our family has had the flu this week, poo! Thankfully it is moving through quickly, everyone is recovering well, and Mom and Dad haven't caught it yet... Praise the Lord!


This outfit is from a while back when we had tons of snow! It was bitterly cold, and so quiet. I love how the snow insulates everything...

I really like all these layers she has on, and the way she put them together! The pinks, browns and creams all go well with her complexion and really pop against the white snow.

My favorite elements of this outfit are 1) the bulky scarf from her friend, 2) the floral cuffs of her skirt rolled over the cardigan sleeves and 3) her bun!

-What She Wore-

brown shirt: hand me down -$0

 button-up: from a friend -$0

cardigan: borrowed from L -$0

scarf: handmade by friend -$0

jeans: Old Navy -$8

socks: Walmart pack of 3 -$5

boots: Academy -$50

coat: Walmart -$40

What are your favorite elements of this outfit? What are some ways you like to layer your clothes?
Stay tuned for an overdue post on I <3 Thursdays tomorrow!
Love From,
Layla

What She Wore// Dreams of Paris

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?
(Hello! How are you?)
I am feeling a bit French-y today, can you tell? This outfit I am sharing with you is one of my favorites of Hagen's. I call it her Paris outfit!

If you didn't know, Hagen and I have always dreamt of going to Paris one day... to see the Eiffel tower, stand by the Seine, and drink lattes made by a professional French barista!

I love the pattern play of this outfit! The stripes of the shirt and the floral-y pattern of the skirt. The black and gray color scheme with the pop of red...

-What She Wore-

shirt: hand me down $0

tank: Wal-mart $3

skirt: refashioned $0

shoes: Shoe Carnival $50

hair clip: homemade $0

Do you wish to visit Paris one day?
Avec Amour,
(With Love,)
Layla

What She Wore// Floral Shirt

Hey Friends!
I hope you all had a marvelous New Year! I am going to catch up on some outfits from last year, that way we can start fresh! And please excuse my lack of photography skills...

 This outfit is one that Hagen wore during Autumn, when the temperature and leaves were dropping... 
It seems like she put together her most expensive items to create this outfit! The jacket was a great Wal-mart find. The flowy, floral shirt is from an awesome friend (you know who you are!) and it goes well with her complexion. That massive ring adds just the right pop of color!

 -What She Wore-

shirt: from a friend $0

tank: Walmart $3

jeans: Target $8

coat: Walmart $40

shoes: Shoe Carnival $50

ring: thrifted $3

Isn't she a beauty? She can be such a goofball sometimes, and other times she is just plain angelic...
I am so glad to start the new year off with this girl by my side!
Love From,
Layla

What She Wore// Patterned Skirt

Have you ever met one of those people who are always smiling, no matter what is happening in life? No matter if they are sad on the inside? They keep on smiling, even when it's raining?

Well, I have. And I am proud to say that one of those people is my sister!

This girl brings her own sunshine wherever she goes! Love and Grace shine through her deep, brown eyes...

She knows how to keep things simple and cute! She doesn't get caught up in petty things, like the latest fashion, what's hot and what's not... She has her own style and I love it! Don't you?

-What She Wore-

shirt: Aeropostle (hand-me-down)

skirt: Old Navy dress turned to skirt (from a friend)

shoes: Vans (from a friend)

What's not to love? 
I am so blessed to have Hagen as my sister and best friend!
Love ya,
Layla

What She Wore Wednesday ~ Boho Guest

This Wednesday we are doing something new.

At church this past Sunday, a friend was wearing an adorable outfit, and since we don't have anything new to share, we are posting Haley.

I was so excited to be able to take pictures of her, it was like a little mini photo-shoot!  

It was also very easy to take pictures of her because she was so good at posing...

Her outfit is a boho style and it is very sophisticated.

Her white sandals are very cute, and I think her nail polish almost matches the floral print on her dress.

 

Haley's vintage-y jewelry adds a lot of depth to the outfit, and her necklace watch actually ticks and tells you the time...

 Also, the earrings are simple but stylish and I love the shrug she paired with this dress. And, I almost forgot, I adore her large bun! 

Haley said that she loves to buy clothes from different stores and piece them together. That's one thing that makes shopping fun, right? She also mentioned that making outfits is one of her hobbies. It makes me happy that she is dressing modestly as she is being a fashionista... ;)

Haley asked me not to post all the prices to this outfit because it is not one of her thriftiest ones. But you can still know where she got it. :)

~What She Wore~

Dress: Sears
Shrug: Kohls
Shoes: Payless
Necklace & Ring: Hobby Lobby
Earrings: Wal-mart

I'll give you an idea of the price, 
it is more than $25. That's all I can say... :)  

Well, I hope you liked seeing a new face! It was very enjoyable for me to be able to post something new for y'all! 
What are your thoughts on this boho outfit? 

Blessings, Hagen
(And Layla, because I always ask her advice on what I should say...)

What She Wore Wednesday- Maxi's

I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to make sure I posted about our Easter celebration before I moved on to the fashion!

On Sunday, Hagen and I both wore maxi's. I'll start off with Hagen's...

 Hagen wore a green printed maxi dress, sequined shrug, brown flats and wooden bead necklace. I love how everything flows together!

 

This picture was taken outside of the cowboy church we visited on Sunday.

  

I really like this picture. It looks like she's a jungle princess! This is outside the Mexican Restaurant.

~What She Wore~

maxi dress- thrifted $5

green tank- thrifted $2

shrug- free from a friend

flats- free from a friend

necklace- from our late Grandma

hair flower- made by Layla 

 Now it's my turn...

I wore a maxi skirt, a deep purple tank, tan crocheted shrug and roman sandals. 

The maxi skirt is actually a funny story...

I was kinda stressing out about what I was going to wear for Easter, when Hagen dug out a maxi dress that neither of us have worn in a while. I was excited! When I went to try it on, I found that the zipper was stuck, and refused to budge. We all took turns yanking and prying on it, but that just made it worse! So, I resolved to turn it into a skirt.

I pulled out the sewing machine, and went through my mental checklist:

thread- check
bobbin thread- check
foot pedal- check
iron- check 
elastic- check

pins- wait, where are the pins?

We searched and searched, but alas, no pins! I had to improvise. I ironed my seam down well, and used a few bobby pins to secure the fabric. It was a simple alteration, once I was able to do it. All in all, I was pleased with how it turned out!   

~What I Wore~

maxi skirt from a dress- thrifted $5

tank- Target $2.50

shrug- free from friend

sandals- Walmart $10

lace headband- made by me

I hope you enjoyed this post. I am happy to be doing another What She Wore, it has been too long! And one more quick picture of us...

Praying that you are having a good week!
Blessings,
Layla <3

What She Wore Wednesday- {Rustic&Chic}

Hey There! 

How have you been?

I am doing good, thanks for asking!

So, this weeks Wednesday post is not going to be what I wore, instead it will be what I wish I could wear!

This is my dream boho outfit, it is exactly what I envision! I love each of the items, I think they bring just the right balance of rustic and chic. What do you think?

Rustic&Chic by blesseddamsel featuring free people skirt


I love skirt and the flowy top together. I really like the leather bag with the bit of crochet, it's rough meets dainty.

What are your favorite elements in this outfit?
Do you like the boho style?

I hope you enjoyed this twist to our usual Wednesday post!
Blessings,
Layla
