30 Days of Dresses: Dress #30

Yay! I'm done! Its been a crazy time. So many things happening, crazy things and exciting things. We sold our car, it was taken away today. It happened way faster than we thought, so now we're without wheels. It's quite crazy, I know. I think sometimes in life we are forced to rely on others because if it were up to Dave and I, we'd never ask for help. We don't like to burden anyone with our problems. But then life happens and we're left with no choice... This might just turn out to be the start of quite an interesting adventure. It's really not easy to have to depend on someone else to get buy. A HUGE thank you to friends and family who have helped us in the past and still continue to help where ever you can, we really couldn't do it with out all of you!

This challenge has taught me so many things! Things like, how to get creative with a limited wardrobe, how to use what I've got and also what I need in order to extend my outfit possibilities. Something quite personal that I got out of doing this challenge is that I'm not quite as ugly as I feel and that complete strangers aren't remotely as critical as I am of myself. Thank you for your kindness friends, I hope you stick around long enough for us to become friends.

This is it then, Dress #30, the last one of the challenge...

 -this is a really lovely dress, I'm not big on the whole"animal print" trend but this one kinda chose me-

   -the posy in my hair, I made while experimenting with flower making techniques(still working on it). This silvers star necklace was given to me when I was a little girl. I cannot quite remember who gave it to me but I had it for, like, ever! I still love it, there's something magical about it-

-so that is that for this challenge, hope you'll join in the fun with my next challenge-

30 Days of Dresses: Dress #23

It's Thursday! That mean tomorrow is Friday, and then it's weekend! So I'm standing on day 23 with my dress challenge, only 7 more to go, yay! Everyday I think to myself, "what did I get myself into?!" but I stuck it out and managed to do this even though at times I felt "stuff all of this!". This has been good for me and I now realize after reading Maria from Little Tree's post, that I'm not the only one who feels self-conscious and awkward doing these outfit posts. I don't have the confidence to put myself out there so doing these outfit posts is quite scary. It makes us vulnerably to criticism and nasty comments, thank goodness I have the friendliest readers! I have received nothing but positive feedback even requests for other challenges. Thank you for all your kindness, it means so much to me.  

 -Ah, I love this dress! I've had it for like, ever! I don't even remember where I got it anymore, but the label says Collection. I'm not familiar with this brand but they made one hell of a dress! This thing never seems to go out of fashion and the fit is perfect-

-my beaded bow clip is from my sister-in-law, Yuseon. I have worn it so many times, it goes so well with anything, really. Starry-starry earrings, I found then at a market in Pretoria. This black resin rose is just so awesome and bulky, it's from Mr. Price. Lastly, my owly cluster necklace, I made it to go with my earrings-
