Thrifty Sunday's

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all have a had good weekend! Yesterday was a day of goodbyes for me. I leave for college on Wednesday so I spent my last Sunday with my second church family and had my last night at youth group. It was pretty emotional for me. Saying goodbye to people that have played such a big part in building you spiritually is difficult but I find myself in awe of Jesus. The Holy Spirit led me to this verse in the bible and it gave me so much perspective. "Send out your Spirit and they spring to life." Psalm 104:30 The Spirit of God gives me life. It regenerates me, fills me, sustains me. The Holy Ghost is so much more than a feeling it's the Spirit of God living inside of us. I find it so amazing that God's grace is so abundant that He fills us sinners, imperfect people, with His Spirit. It amazes me that He gives us sinners, imperfect people so much grace that we can have the gift of prophecy, healing, speaking in other tongues, and so much more. I'm so in awe that God gives us His Spirit so that we might be sanctified and empowered to share the amazing love of Jesus with others. His Spirit really does bring to life and I couldn't imagine my life without constantly being filled with and indwelt by the Holy Spirit. God is so good and I'm so excited to see His Spirit work through me in college.

So yesterdays outfit was a total of $6! I got the top for $3 at a local store and this beautiful pleated skirt at the Goodwill for $3! I love thrifting, it was the first thing I saw when I walked in the store, it's like it was made for me. The color is beautiful and I love the sheer pleated fabric. I love the high waisted style and below knee length, it was fabulous. I also love that this skirt can be worn super dressy or dressed down with flats and a t-shirt. Hope you guys have a great week, and much prayers would be apprieciated as I get ready to make my journey out of state to college! Love you guys. ~ Sofia

Sunday Style

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has had a good week so far. My week has been extremely eventful and full of blessings. First I spent 4 days at Student Leadership University which was a amazing experience. I learned so much about what it means to be a servant of Christ and a leader of people (and I got to ride awesome roller coasters). Then on Friday I turned 18! Yay! I think the coolest thing about turning 18 is looking at my life and being brought to tears because of how miraculous Jesus is and the amazing things He has done in my 18 years. All week I've had this scripture on my heart "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 23:24. God is able to do more than we can imagine He is the giver of life and when we ask Him to fill us He does. God showed me this verse at the beginning of the week to show me how amazing He is and that the things I was getting ready to be experiencing were all by His power and grace. Which brings me to church today! I visited one of my best friends church today. I love visiting her church and today was so special. It was the last day of VBS for the kids and they put on skits and music for the whole church. The coolest thing though was seeing little kids passionately worship God and be filled with the Holy Spirit. It's amazing and breathtaking and Jesus is so awesome. So of course being at church with my friend we had to take some outfit pictures! Today I wore a dress I got from a website called clothingunder10.com it was $9.99! I know amazing. It's my favorite color and I loved the pleated skirt and loose back. It's my new favorite dress! LaShonda wore a beautiful dress that she got at the thrift store!!! The cream colors, flower print, and waist belt are perfect. And she paired it with hot pink shoes that made the whole outfit pop. I hope today's post inspires you to love Jesus and classy dressing!

Sunday Stripes

Hey everyone I hope you all had a blessed and happy Sunday. I got to spend the day with my family and have my best friend come to my church with me! Another great part of my day besides an amazing church service was getting to wear this new dress. I got it on sale at Target for $11!!! The sleeves, the fit, the length and the stripes, it's all just fabulous. I also love that it is really lightweight because it's not to hot to wear in this awful Summer heat. It's not too tight and not too loose and not too short. I love the modesty and classiness of it. Modest dresses are always the best :) I decided to dress it down with wearing flats but if I wanted to dress it up more it's the perfect dress for heels. Overall this dress was an awesome find and I can't wait to wear it again. Hope you all have a great week! Love, Sofia.

Hi Guys! So it's been a while since I've posted. Unlike most teens,who have relaxing Spring Breaks, I had a pretty busy one full of tons of work. I didn't get a chance to blog all Spring Break which I'm bummed about, but now that I'm back at school I finally have a chance to do what I love. So over Spring Break I did have one day off and I spent it seeing God's Not Dead (amazing movie, if you haven't seen it go do it because it will set a huge spark for Jesus in your heart) and of course shopping with my best friend. One piece I found that I absolutely love is this sheer cover up. I got it from Marshall's and it was on sale for $7.50, which is awesome considering all the stores I went to that sold pieces like this had them for $50! Anyways I am in love with this cover up and would wear it everyday if I could. It's extremely comfortable and lightweight so I could wear it in warm sunny weather. I love the black and white Aztec boho print. I felt like a free spirit hippie princess wearing this and that's the best feeling. I love that the fabric is sheer and that it has a chic cut to it. As it starts to get hotter and the Summer rolls in it's light enough for me to wear with shorts or to the beach. I would highly recommend investing in one of these cover ups, if you're looking for a cheap one (like me) check out Forever 21 online. They have the best boho cover ups just like this one for awesome prices.

I hope you all have a great week and a happy Monday!

Love,

Sofia

Sweater Weather

Hey guys! I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far! Today's outfit is one of my favorites. I got the sweater from target and it is super comfortable. I love the loose fit, glittering stripes, and the color that blends in with my skin. The bow (rue21) and the shoes (payless) bring unity to the look and balance the nude colors out perfectly. Overall it's a really comfortable, simple, yet chic outfit perfect for chilly weather. Hope you enjoy today's look as much as I do.

Love,

Sofia

Shoes of the day.

Hi guys,I hope everyone is doing fabulous! I had no intentions on taking pictures of anyone's shoes today for a post, but when I saw this amazing pair I couldn't help myself. I'm in love.Everything from the peep toe opening , high back, and the white flower make this shoe amazing. These shoes are the definition of classy and can be worn with something simple or something dressy. The best part, she got them at Dillard's for 10 dollars! Thanks Jenna for wearing blog-worthy shoes.

Love,

Fashion and Faith Inspiration (Audrey Hepburn)

Audrey Hepburn is a timeless classic. Her elegance, beauty, and poise has left a remarkable legacy that I only wish Hollywood and Fashion would decide to follow. When I think of Audrey the first thing that comes to my mind is Breakfast at Tiffany's , it is one of my favorite movies (I could watch it over and over). Then I think of her elegance and fashion. She could wear a trash bag and make it look amazing. The reason why I think she was able to do this is because of what was in her heart. She grew old and still looked beautiful and throughout her life her elegance never faded no matter how many wrinkles she obtained. She believed in helping others, being gentle and kind was how she sought to be beautiful. It's funny to me that the fashion and movie industry idolize her so much but fail to imitate her humbleness and loving heart. Above I made a collage of my favorite pictures of her. I chose all of these pictures because of what she was wearing ( the yellow dress is my favorite) except for two. Audrey has some famous quotes and this is my favorite. Why? Because she acknowledges God. She says "Walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." and that's how you will be poise. That's why I believe she was so poise, is because she walked with the knowledge that God was always with her! The picture of her holding the child is my ultimate most favorite picture of Audrey Hepburn ever to be taken. It shows an older less glamorous Hepburn, but to me she has never looked more beautiful. I think she really got it, she understood that this life is not about us but about our maker, and that it is so important to help others in need, to offer your selves in love. She became a Humanitarian and even has her own foundation you can check it out at www.audreyhepburn.com At the end of the day Audrey Hepburn is just another person, but she is someone that I admire, her fashion was effortless and always classy and chic (I wish I could go through what used to be her closet.) and her beauty remained until she took her last breath. But most importantly she had faith and a very unique way of sharing it.
