As a school teacher, I don’t have to wear a uniform or any specific type of clothing.  But we are expected to dress professionally and not wear anything denim except on certain Fridays.   One of my friends, however, has to wear nurses uniforms.  Another friend is an accountant, and since she goes into the warehouse to check inventory at times, she can wear jeans (at least on those days).  Some people do get to wear jeans to work as long as they’re nice jeans and they wear a professional looking top.  I always look forward to the Fridays that we get to wear jeans and so do nearly all of the staff I work with.   If you work outside your home, what type of clothing do you wear to work?

One thing I’ve noticed is that the older I get, the more sunspots I seem to have. The sunspots are from spending too much time out in the sun without sunscreen when I was younger. Maybe I need to visit a skin care blog, but now I’m too busy with work at school to think much about my skin. I’m thankful for cover-up makeup that helps hide the sunspots!

I have had the same watch for many years.  It still looks stylish, runs great, and I’m thankful to have it.  Actually, I do have another watch but never wear it because it’s not really my style.  It’s a gold watch, and I wear mostly silver or sometimes a mix of silver and a little gold.  The watch I wear all the time is a mix of mostly silver with a little gold.  Like I mentioned, it’s still stylish!

Have you ever known someone who is pregnant and is also a bridesmaid in a wedding? We’ve been to at least three or four weddings where the bridesmaid and her husband were expecting a baby. There might be some other special occasions, too, that require a maternity dress that is formal. It’s nice to know that there are formal maternity dresses available, and nowadays an expectant mother can still dress in style for any occasion.

There are so many people shopping these days for all sorts of things. The list includes school clothes and school supplies for children in elementary, middle, and high schools. And I can’t forget college students since we have one that is a junior in college. He has to buy books and supplies, etc. Someone going to nursing school would need to look at buying a nurse uniform at some point in their education. Medical students would need medical supplies and possibly scrubs. And the list could go on and on for all types of students needing all types of supplies and clothing!

One thing I like about today’s fashion styles is the fact that summer clothes can still be trendy and stylish, and they can still be considered modest clothing at the same time.  There are so many different ways to do this:

• Long dresses are very fashionable and so cool and comfortable during the hot summer months.  You can wear them with a cute pair of sandals or dressy flip flops for a great combination that’s both stylish and summer-friendly.
• Skirts are a big time favorite because of the mix and match option with whatever style of top you’re in the mood to wear.  You can wear them with a feminine blouse, layered tanks and tees, or a button up shirt.
• Cute tops can be layered with coordinating colors that accent colors in a trendy skirt, or they can be worn with jeans or dressier pants, whatever the occasion requires.
• Camisoles are another way to add a color coordinating layer to a cute dress or top, at the same time offering a more modest aspect to a trendy outfit.

There are an endless number of combinations using layering, tops, dresses, and skirts to make a fashionable and stylish summer wardrobe that is stylish, cool, and modest!

Mother’s Day came and went so fast.  I imagine there were all types of gifts given such as jewelry, maybe a Bella Bracelet.  Speaking of bracelets, how many of you had or have a charm bracelet?  I did when I was growing up.  I’m not sure where my bracelet is and need to look for it, now that I think about it.  Charm bracelets are fun to wear and are in style.  In fact, I don’t think they ever went out of style.
