Feelin' Feminine, 2 and 3
I am a bit late in posting these, but here they are!
I love jean skirts, especially ones that are very full and easy to walk in. As I guess you can see, I like being able to look sort of casual while still wearing a skirt. The braids are my easy, regular, everyday hairstyle (one of my ends is a little crazy in this picture, but oh well). Since my jacket was 3/4 sleeve, I pulled out a bracelet from my old jewelry box that also doubles as one decade of the rosary (it has a crucifix and 10 beads).
These are my favorite shoes! You can also see the flowery pattern at the bottom of my skirt, which I really like.
Since the weather was so GORGEOUS, I went outside to take these pictures. It was ultra-windy, but I got some decent ones. I wore a new shirt that I got from C28 that has 1 Corinthians 15:51 on it--Behold, I tell you a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. Then it has Not of This World written in shiny letters below it. The skirt is the exact same as the one before, except in light tan.
This is my "medieval maiden" hairstyle...haha. It added a bit more feminine feel to have my hair let down, long and flowing. I also found a pretty bracelet with small purple stones set into a gold chain.
This is a random one that Leandra shot when I was fixing my skirt in the wind. It gives you a little better view, I guess.
I have been enjoying this challenge! I suppose you could call me a bit of a "tomboy" in a way; I don't pay much attention to clothes/jewelry/hair/etc. It's been good for me to step out and be a bit more "fearless" with my femininity. It makes me feel so much more unique and...well...beautiful.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. ~ Proverbs 31:25
Best regards,
Sylvia

Lovely! I like denim skirts too.
I can't remember for sure if I've commented on your blog before, but I know I've visited it.

Very pretty! I really like the denim skirt. I have just one, and I really like it, so I guess I should find a few more to wear.
But I must take this moment to complain that you're outside without a coat! As my sister would say, "Jealousy is coursing through my veins." I wanna do that.
*ahem* Anyway.

Hi Sylvia!
I'm glad you're posting again!
For a little while I was afraid you were going to leave the blogworld! I am so glad you are going to stay.
Those are some really nice pics. I prefer dresses over skirts, but they are both nice, and I like to wear them; though I don't really wear them that often.
As you can see on my blog, we are in America right now, so I haven't had much time to post posts and comments, but I'll try to keep up.
Alright, that's all for now,
Namarie,
Raora

Ah, I really liked The Cat of Bubastes. It's one of my favorite G.A. Henty books.
Was Tilly scary? I thought the plot sounded interesting when I saw you mark it on GoodReads, but Frank Peretti has a reputation as a scary writer, and I don't do scary.

HI Sylvia,
I just wanted to tell you that you and your blog are both delightful. I'm a homeschool mom raising 4 daughters. We are also converts (April 2007) to the Catholic faith. You have a wonderful apostolate of virtue and modestly for young girls here on your blog. I'm sure your parents must be very proud. I hope you will continue to write at "Ecclesia Veritatis". You are quite an apologist.
blessings to you,
Runningmom

Those are so cute! I love your outfits! I can't wait to see what else you come up with! :D
I am hoping that Jocelyn will take up the Homeschool Seniors next year. There will be a lot more in that class.
Thank you for praying for us! I don't know if you saw, but we are actually going to go to Paulie's party. I had said that because he didn't know. Well he had to know, so I crossed that out! :)
Have a great day!!
Love, Prayers, and Blessings,
Miss Amanda

Hi Sylvia!
Thanks for the comment! No, actually, that poem didn't really have anything to do with my book, though I have written a couple for it. I am glad you liked it.
By the way, I saw on your side bar that you were reading the Cat of Bubastes. I read that book a year ago, and I really enjoyed it. Do you like it? (I also read his 'Young Carthaginian' have you heard of that one?) G.A. Henty is a really good author, and I like his historical fiction, though I don't exactly like his style of writing as much as I do most authors. I thought that in places the dialogue could be improved on. But he has great skill when it comes to description. I am reading another one of his books right now, In Freedom's Cause, which is about the rebellion of William Wallace and Robert Bruce against the English. I think I like this one best so far. I recommend it if you haven't read it already. It is really a very good book.
Anyway, that's all!
Namarie,
Raora

Oh, I like your skirts and shoes, and your Medieval hairstyle was very pretty, I do have to agree, wearing skirts just makes me feel beautiful (even if I am not!).
I am so glad that you are doing the challenge, too. I have been doing it, just not posting about it.
Very pretty!

Yes, musicals are great!
I noticed that you have the same birthday as my little brother David (June 28th). :-)
I see that you're reading The Cat of Bubastes. How is it so far? I remember when we started on that book for read aloud many years ago and I kept wanting to skip ahead to find out what happened to the cat (haha)...I need to read some G.A. Henty all the way through.

RYC: It is sad that you don't have Irish in you, but at least that doesn't prevent you from listening to the music and maybe visiting the country some time ;)
I have heard of the High Kings, I rather like their group. I don't care for the Celtic Women that much because 1). They seem more showy then sincere and 2). In all their shows they dress a bit immodestly.
I can't remember if I told you about him, but there is a great composer/musician called Alasdair Fraser. He does an AMAZING job with his music. His album is called Fire and Grace. I would totally check it out.
