What I Wear-Directionally Challenged And Kosher Casual

After learning to drive I discovered a not so good trait-I have very little sense of direction! I would seriously get lost coming out of the bathroom...

Which is why walking out in the woods by myself would never be a good idea! However if my dad, who has a great sense of direction, walks with us, I'm okay. If I follow him around I most likely won't get lost-which got me to thinking about something. If I trust my earthly, human, fallible father, how much more should I trust my heavenly Father? My earthly father can make mistakes, maybe even get me lost in the woods (hopefully not!) but my heavenly Father can see wider, longer and infinitely more than I can! I can trust Him to lead me into the woods of life, I just have to follow Him. As long as I keep my eyes on Jesus, I won't get lost in the dark woods. As soon as I let my eyes slip onto myself, or the dark woods, that's when I get lost. 

So today, remember-keep your eyes on Jesus, not your circumstances or surroundings. Trust that He can lead you through many a dark wood, leading you where you need to be, when you need to be there. Be in constant contact with your Heavenly Father and you don't need to worry about the path in front of you.

• I'm Wearing: Yellow Shirt-Forever 21 $5, Skirt-C/O Kosher Casual, bracelets-$? Necklaces-HMD

• On a side note, Kosher Casual sent me this lovely skirt! I'm absolutely adoring it! I think it will be perfect for this Summer! The fabric is thick enough to assure no need for a slip, but light enough for Summer weather. The grey is perfect for mixing and matching shirts! The skirt also comes in Navy and  Black. I can't wait to wear it again soon! Customer service was friendly and prompt and I'm impressed with the quality of the skirt. The shipping was way faster than they anticipated-they told me 2-3 weeks-it arrived in 11 days from Israel! I should also mention it has a great elastic waistband-perfect for sisters who share! =) The skirt is $35, a bit out of this thrift store girl's price,
•  however they have this lovely skirt>> on sale right now for $12!! It only comes in one color, and XL though. 

Question: 
How's your sense of direction? Are you the girl who gets lost coming out of the bathroom (like me!), or are you amazing at getting around? 

What I Wear-*I'm Taking Pictures In The Rain...Just Taking Pictures In The Rain...*

I'm Wearing: Jean Jacket-Vanity $15, Shirt-Thrifted $3, Skirt-Ross $8 

These photos are actually from a couple days ago! I've been pretty busy with life (translated nothing special...) This is what I wore when the day was dreary and rainy-a hard time to dress for! It's been raining quite a bit, a good thing considering the fires in Montana had already started up, but now are out.

 Just a casual outfit, but definitely easily re-created! 

I've also been trying to get better photos, but it's hard! I've also been wondering about how many photos people actually want to see? Is this a good amount, or would more be better? 

Hope you all had a wonderful Saturday-*sniff*sniff* last episode of Doctor Who tonight! I'm so sad! But the teaser looked awesome! 

Off to go watch it now-anyone else watching Doctor Who tonight? How was your Saturday?

What I Wear-You Might Be A Fashion Blogger If...

Been awhile since my last outfit, right?! Sorry about that! I've been meaning to get photos of my outfits, but it just hasn't been happening! I actually had on a different outfit this morning, took photos and everything, only to have my mom inform me my skirt was completely sheer! *sigh* So back I went to try on outfit number two. Alas, such are the trials of modest fashion bloggers! LOL! Speaking of which, I've been wanting to put together this list: 

You might be a fashion blogger if....

You rethink outfits because you wore it the day before (and posted it...)

Take photos of events, just so you can post it on your blog. 

You preface taking photos with: "Smile, it's going on my blog!"

You have to drag someone out to take photos of your outfit. 

Scenery is seen through the lens of "Oh! That would make a good background for my next outfit post"

You fear wearing a sloppy outfit because you might see a blog reader in town. 

Analyze the latest trends in stores so you can share it with your readers. 

You immediately tell someone where and how much an item cost when they compliment you. 

Now it's your turn! 

You might be a fashion blogger if ____________Leave a comment with your answer!

I'm Wearing:
Vest-Ross $10

Dress-JcPenney $12

Belt-?

Shoes-Amazon.com $20

Natasha's 19th Birthday Photos!

So I promise this is the last post about my birthday! In an effort to share a little more personal stuff, I'm sharing a bit of my day with you! If you're bored to death, just exit the page. I'm hoping to get an actual outfit post up today, but we'll see!                                                                 I had a really good birthday, it was filled with wayyyy too much food, sweets and fun!  In my family, we're allowed to do whatever we want and have whatever food we want on your birthdays. For breakfast I requested "pancake crepes" basically, instead of actually crepes, you use pancakes. 

We had lunch with my dad and hung out there for awhile and went to a really pretty park that had a walking trail by the river. We walked for about an hour, which was fun (other than the sunburn I got-including my lips-who knew they sunburned?! Obviously not me!). After that we stopped by the meat store for hamburger meat. We had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner-yum! And of course, can't forget dessert-strawberry cream ice cream cake! It was awesome! I'm crazy about ice cream, throw in strawberries and a soft cake?! Yes please! 

After dinner we opened presents-thank you everyone! And watched a couple of our favorite TV shows. A quiet birthday, but good none the less! Thanks for all your birthday wishes in my last post! You ladies are awesome and I can't wait to see what God has in store for the next year! 

Old Photos Of Natasha! 19th Birthday!

I thought it would be fun to share some old photos of myself! Why, you ask?

Today is my 19th birthday! Today I start the first part of my last year as a teenager. In some ways, I'm sad to see it go! In other ways, I'm glad. I'm excited to see what God can do with my life, at the same it's scary growing up! But I know that as long as I'm a child of God-everything will be just fine! 

I should also mention before you start looking at my old photos, I've never dyed my hair! For some reason my hair has changed colors frequently over the years! 

Eight Fun Facts:

1. There is a Monster book with a baby monster called Natasha! 
2. (obviously no resemblance whatsoever...LOL!) 
3. 1994-1999-my Winnie The Pooh obsession. And those TV shows with "Pooh Bear" that are on TV now? Um yeah, not the real Pooh Bear-total imposter!
4.  2000-2003 (couldn't find any photos) but this was my ballerina faze! 
5. 2004-the "do rag" faze. I even went into Great Harvest on time and the cashier said "Hey, what's up with the do rag?"  
6. 2005-present. Well...you get the picture! 2009 started my blog! 
7. My middle name is Lei
8. From ever since I could remember to about 13, my baby dolls were permanantely attached to me! 

Hopefully I haven't completely bored you! But I really do enjoy seeing photos of people from when they were little, so hopefully a couple people enjoyed this post! ; )
