What She Wore// Street Style :: Guest


Hello readers!
I wanted to share with you this Street Style outfit worn by my very sweet friend, Gideon.

I thought her outfit was so stylish! The texture of the cardi and the mix of neutrals was really nice.
But she really doesn't like to be in front of the camera... I kinda had to force her to let me shoot her, but she's just so natural!

Isn't she beautiful? It was really fun to get her pics. It was like a little mini photoshoot, but on a whim!
The hat is actually mine, but I thought it matched perfectly, so I had Gideon wear it for the pics.


-What She Wore-

 Shirt- handmedown
Tank- Walmart $5
Cardi- Ross $12
Pants- from a friend
Boots- gift
Hat- borrowed


Isn't she just lovely?
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

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

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,)

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?).


-What She Wore-
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)
tree necklace // gift, by Hot Topic
Grand Total= $65

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 ~ 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~ 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
