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

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// 50's Feel

Hello, I've got another outfit for you!
This one was really fun, with a nice little 50's feel...

















 Layla does it again! I love the pieces she used for this outfit, from her Oxford pumps that were super on sale, to her cute red earrings that were given to her by two special, sweet friends of ours for her birthday! (You know who you are!)
Not to mention, she can pull off a high-waisted skirt so well!
Her 'cat-eye' glasses also add a touch of 50's as well as color...

 I'll let you in on a little secret... Layla's cute button up shirt is not a shirt at all, it's a dress! She just simply pulled her neutral skirt over it and, Viola! Her favorite little black dress now works as a top, too! 

-What She Wore-

dress/top: Ross $7

skirt: Goodwill $2

shoes: Payless $15

earrings: from a friend 

headband: homemade

 

  And of course her hair! She did really great with this, mine probably wouldn't have stayed, but that's another story... Oh, and did you noticed she colored it? I think is looks really great on her and complements her well!

What do you think of this thrifty, 50's outfit? What's you favorite thing about it?

Hope you are enjoying this nice weather!

Love,

Hagen

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 | Spring Is In The Air...

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share with you a super cute outfit styled by my super cute sister, Hagen! I love this relaxed boho look... and do you know what's funny? Almost all of these pieces were given to her by a friend, just at different times! Not to mention, this said friend has excellent style! I love the way Hagen put everything together to make this outfit that is ready for spring!

 Her top was one of those open-shouldered tops, but she sewed up the shoulders to make it more modest!

tribal top: Day Trip- from a friend

gray tank: from a friend

skinny jeans: Old Navy $8

shoes: Vans- from a friend

bag: from a friend

Love from,
Layla

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// Grey Sweater

I hope you are enjoying all of these fashion posts. We have accumulated quite a bit of pictures that need posting... 

 Today is Hagen's turn. As I said in this post, I just love her!

I'm sure you have noticed that she is an excellent photographer, and that I am not! But she is so photogenic that I think it makes up for my anti-photographer-ness (is that even a word?).

red shirt// from a friend, by Rue 21

purple tank // Walmart ($3)

 grey sweater // from a friend, by Old Navy

skinny jeans // Old Navy ($9)

shoes // Shoe Carnival by Converse ($50)

The most expensive item in this outfit are the high-tops, of course! 

Look at those dimples! 
It is cold and snowy here, so we are cooped up inside... Look out for more posts!
Love,
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

Summer's End {an oufit & poem}

Well, if you haven't noticed, Summer has left us. She has packed her bags and traveled to another country. Yes, I was so sad to see her leave, but she brought a new friend with her! Autumn is her name. This outfit was my last attempt to keep Summer from going, but alas, Autumn brought the chilly breeze. Below is a poem I wrote...

Summer, my friend, where are you going?
Was it something I said?
Don't you remember the things we did? 
The smell of flowers in our noses,
the sweltering heat
and sand in our toes?

Summer, dear Summer, why won't you stay?
Do you really have to pack your bags
and go away?
Why, who is this?
Your friend, Autumn, you say?
She seems nice,
I'm not so sure about her, though...
She smells like cinnamon and pumpkin spice,
aromas that tickle my nose.

Nice to meet you, Autumn.
How do you do?
What's that, you want to play?
Climb trees, eat apples
and jump in a pile of leaves?
Okay!

Thank you Summer, for introducing me to your friend.
We're having lots of fun!
Wearing sweaters and scarves,
sitting on benches
and running through parks.

Well, Summer, I think I'll be fine...
I will pass the time with this new friend of mine. 
Autumn holds my hand as I cry and wave "good-bye!"
Part of me is still sad to see you go...
Oh, how I will miss you so!
But I'm glad I won't be alone
as I wait for your return.
Summer, you will always be in my heart! 
 

I have come to terms with the leaving of Summer and welcomed Autumn with open arms. It will be full-blown Fall posts from here on out!
 With Love,
 Layla

What She Wore Wednesday~ Sunday Best

Hello Lovelies! 
A quick apology: I intended for this post to be up already, but apparently the internet thought otherwise. ;)
 

Tonight's post features outfits from a few weeks ago, which we wore to church. 

Hagen wore a blue floral shirt, striped skirt and black bow flats.  

 I love how she hiked up her skirt to make it high-waisted! I think it suites her. You can't really see the pattern of her shirt very well in this picture.

If you look closely, you can see the flowers on her shirt. I love the floral and stripe pattern play!


This is a lovely shot of her, don't you think?

~What She Wore~
shirt- from a friend $0
tank- walmart $3
skirt- made by her $0
shoes- from a friend $0
hair clip- homemade $0  

Only 3 bucks? That makes this outfit even cuter!



I tried my hand at the boho style. I wore a simple black dress, strappy sandals, and a headband.

I tend to twiddle my fingers when I am having my picture taken...

 Oh yes, how could I forget, I also wore my favorite feather earring which Hagen made from our own duck!

Look out, this boho hobo needs a ride!

~What She Wore~
dress- Ross $7
shoes- walmart $10
headband- made by me $0
earring- Christmas gift $0

Well, 17 bucks isn't too bad, right?
 
I hope you enjoyed seeing these outfits as much as we enjoyed wearing them!
Blessings,
Layla  

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
