Outfit // Thanks Given

Hello dearies,
Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow? It does not feel like it to me! Perhaps it's because we aren't going anywhere, or having any friends over. That always makes my holidays feel more special, and so it's disappointing to me when schedules don't allow for inviting friends over. This was beginning to spoil Thanksgiving for me, until I thought of the idea for this post...

Outfit // Fall Turban

Well hello there. I decided to take a wee brake from my Hair Parlor series and write about one of my pre-leaf-fall outfits. For this one I took a little bit of everything I love from my closet and put it together to create a soft, deliciously neutral look, complemented by tiny flecks of color for interest. I hope you like it!

Outfit // November Rainbow

You know the outfit where you just want to have fun with it? Though it might seem a bit too mix-matched, but you plumb don't care at all. It's an outfit you feel good in, and can't help but kick up some leaves and cheekily smile and laugh in. Well, that' my November Rainbow Outfit.

Bible Bee Outfits // Charlotte

Hello my dears! I am the last in line to share my National Bible Bee wardrobe with you all (that's what you get for being the youngest ;), and I hope you will gather some inspiration when packing for your next vacation! I decided to go a slightly different route than the girls, and aim for more of a "capsule wardrobe", styling a few staple pieces in different ways throughout the week.

Bible Bee Outfits // Brigid

Hello Dearies! How has your week been? The past two days have been filled with bus rides and busy-ness! We are finally down in Orlando, and today is my favorite day of Nationals: Contestant Registration! I love this day of the Nationals week because I have been a tour guide on this day for the past two years, and get to be one again this year! It is so much fun being able to be one of the first people to greet a contestant family, and then escort them around the facility until we finally get to registration, hearing how many years they've come to nationals, where they came from. It is such a growing experience for me, as I normally don't like to talk to strangers, but this day helps me get out of that shell. Anyways... Would you like to see the rest of my Bible Bee wardrobe?

Bible Bee Outfits // Jessica

Hey there!
We have a big surprise for you all–we are volunteering at the National Bible Bee this week down in Orlando Florida! Since we thought you all would love to know what we are going to wear, each one of us prepared a post to show you our different outfits we will be wearing for every day of the whole week of volunteering! Sound fun? Let's see what I picked out.

Classy on Sunday // Adventure is Out There!

Hello lovelies! Today we are all in a whirl preparing for a big gig we girls have tonight, and our even bigger trip this next week to National Bible Bee. If you haven't already heard, our family is volunteering for the third time in a row at NBB, and this time it's in Orlando, Florida. Which, by the way, is 18+ hours away from us and BB headquarters. So all of us volunteers are taking a 2-day trip on a charter bus down... which our whole family is rather excited for/dreading... I seriously think we live one of the most excited/peaceful/wonderful lives a family of mostly girls could. As the old saying goes, "Adventure is Out There!" :D

Sister Flair // Nautical for Fall

Today we're partnering up with A Pocket of Whimsy, that delightful shop filled with all manner of playful, fantastical jewelry; to show you all how we styled Nautical for the Autumn months! You, like us, may have thought that Nautical was a style that could only be pulled off in the summer, but today we're going to show you how to bring this fun trend into the cooler days of the year.

What I Made // Palazzo Pants

Hello Dearies! I hope you all are having a splendid week thus far! Over here in Ohio there has been nothing but gray skies and rain, with some peeks of blue skies and sun every so often. I want to thank you all for your encouraging comments on last week's post! You all are such a blessing to me. Today, my dears, you have the pleasure of seeing not one, but two completed projects! My first "failed" attempt at Palazzo pants, and my second, very successful, pair of Palazzo pants. Are you ready?

Hair Parlor // Easy Hair Styles for Longer Locks

Hello my lovely Rapunzels!
We are going to get down to business and look at some simple hair styles that I think you all would be able to do in a jiffy. I have pretty much covered the basics, and gone with beautiful, but incredibly easy styles to put up those wonderfully long locks. Lets take a look!

Classy on Sunday // 1940's for Modern Day

Hello Dearies! I hope you're having a splendid Saturday/Weekend thus far! This morning my Dad and I are heading to our local library's book sale (one of the highlights of my shopping year. ;P), and later tonight the girls and I have a singing gig to go to. We've had a pleasant break from singing ever since Remembering WWII, so it will be nice to get back into the "swing" of things. Speaking of Remembering WWII, I'm sure y'all were curious about if we would ever wear our 1940's dresses again. Well, this post is to show you how we styled our 1940's dresses in a more modern way for Church last Sunday.

What I Made // Buffalo Plaid Dress

Hello dearies! I am so glad the past two days' worth of rain has finally passed and that sunshine is on its way! When I first was contemplating the fact that we had to do a photoshoot for this dress in the rain, I wasn't so pleased. Until Charlotte captured the absolutely gorgeous gray beauty that exists in a rainy day (it helped to have a fun red filter of course. :D). But you didn't come here for commentary on the weather did you? Well if you did, then toddle along, because the weather report is over, and the sewing report is about to begin...

Contemplations of an A/W Wardrobe

Hello Dearies! How's the weather out there? Here in Ohio it's been chilly in the mornings, pleasant at noon, and just chilly enough at night to make you want to wrap yourself in a cozy blanket. Such weather has started my mind to contemplating what my Autumn/Winter wardrobe will look like this year, since quite a bit of that portion of my wardrobe will not last me another winter.

Sister Flair // Shop Better with ShopMieux!

Happy Saturday! So, unfortunately yesterday's post was put off until today because of internet issues (the perks of living in the boondocks, y'all ;), but we girls are SO excited to share with you our latest collaboration! ShopMieux contacted us a few weeks ago to do a review of their company, and we girls were so thrilled to do so! Why? Well, you're just going to have to read more to find out :)

Outfit // Happy in My Own Backyard

Hello hello!
While in the midst of a blogging meeting (ooh, a little behind the scenes secret...) we three were trying to figure out what to do for today's post, and both Brigid and Charlotte suggested I post an outfit. Well, sure! Why not? Um... what kind of outfit? In the end I made up my mind to share a simple "everyday" kind of ensemble, and so this refashioned dress is what I came up with. Hope you like it! I also want to share some of my own personal musings for this week, so lets begin! (Just for the record, I am not allowed to tell you the names of my funny photo "props") :)

Classy on Sunday // High-Low, Here We Go!

Hello everyone!
I am so delighted to share this dress with you all today, since it is one of my last Sunday dresses that I have never worn here on our blog! Besides this, there is a great sense of excitement bubbling around our house over the release of our new CD, as you all can imagine!

Classy on Sunday // Pink & Lace

Hello Dears! Today has been busy, and it doesn't look like the busy-ness is going to get less as the week rolls on, on account of how crazy it has been around here, especially in regards to singing (if you want to keep updated on that, go and like our Facebook singing page here). But I am so excited to see what the Lord will work in the next few weeks and months, and where on earth He will take us!

Outfit // Picnic Point (+Giveaway!)

Hello dearies! I have a "lake-side picnic" inspired outfit to share with you all today that I hope you'll enjoy (especially because there's a giveaway at the end... :D ). Charlotte and I had such a fun time photographing this shoot, even though the weather wasn't exactly "picnic-perfect".

Classy on Sunday // Sweatering in Summer

Hello there!
I don't know about you all, but it seems like it has been forever since I have done a C.O.S! Perhaps it is because of my one week sabbatical from posting How We Play? Nevertheless, the whole shebang feels out of sync. What shall I share with you all? What would be interesting to talk about? I wish this was not a C.O.S, and that I could show you the happenings of this week, but for the lack of photos, and the demands of a schedule I will have to make do, and bring you up to date as I go along.

Sister Flair // a Pocket of Whimsy

Hello all! After a busy morning & early afternoon of singing lessons and song arranging, I am so happy to finally sit down and share with you all an amazing shop that has joined our troop of sidebar advertisers for this month: A Pocket of Whimsy! Alexis blew us away with her generous offer of sending each of us girls a dainty necklace of our choice from her bountiful selection! Want to see what we picked out?
