Joy #32 - Joy in vintage clothing

May 23
#32

Okay so recently I have kind of taken an interest in fashion. Not really like "high fashion" but looking at vintage clothing and clothing that is a little different. More, expressive. I don't know, I never really thought I was into that kind of stuff but I guess I am! I may start another blog where I post pictures of clothing and where to find it in case anyone wants to buy it. I don't have a job so I don't have the type of money to buy clothing like that but I do enjoy fixing up clothes that I already had. Today while I watched Friends (my sister loves that show so I started watching it today) I took out some old shorts and t shirts and went to work on them. I made some tank tops out of some old t shirt that I never wore. They are super cute! I am not really THAT impressed though because anyone could do it so I didn't take pictures haha. But then I also took two pairs of shorts and added some buttons on the side and the back. Nothing fancy but I thought they were super cute:
So the pockets of these had trouble staying down, so I just had some old buttons and tied them on. I think it's cute! Here is the other one. It looks a lot better in person and actually on me. Okay that sounds vain but you get my drift.

I am glad that the Lord shows me joy in things like these. It's been hard being at home without my car (shes in the shop) during the day, so I like to find things to do that entertain myself. The Lord has been showing me to embrace the passions that He has given me and not to be afraid what others may think. The only person's whose opinion matters the most to me should be the Lords.
I know that is difficult at times. It's been a long journey. I have to admit that I am coming out of a small dry patch in my walk with the Lord that probably has stemmed from my own selfish desires. Instead of keeping my mind focused on him, I have let distractions get in the way. You realize this when you slowly feel a wall of some sort come up between you and Christ. Has anyone else felt that way? I really had to look at my life and see what distractions I was putting before Christ.

Thank you Lord for the joys you bring me in life. And thanks for everyone else for letting me rant on in today's blog post :)

  1. You should post pictures of the tank toppies! Even though I can walk like ten feet down the hallway and go look at them. Buttt other people might want to see them. And yes I do like Friends. A lot.
