Better Late than Never

Two months ago I got all dolled up for my great friend Mindy's wedding. And took some (slightly dark) outfit shots. I really loved this outfit, so I hope you'll forgive me the lack of chronological and photographic clarity.
 * dress: Teri Jon * shoes: J. Renee * flower earrings: purchased for my wedding * headband: Chinatown market *
While I generally love the ability to lounge around in comfortable duds, the occasional opportunity to go all out is one I relish. For this look, I let the dress-- a fabulous retro-cut navy number with floral embellishment at the neckline--shine. Just add some blingy peeptoes, a jeweled headband and a deliciously fruity cocktail for a perfect wedding recipe.

Trust me, I understand the whole "life got in the way" thing.  I'm also in grad school (please dear G-d, make it be the last semester of coursework!!!), and man it's been HARD in the last month to really get out of this aversion rut I've been in.  

But I'm glad you didn't decide to end the blog!  I have toyed with doing a fashion blog for years and just can't seem to stick with it.  Good for you!

Hi Nina,

I'm not a modest dress blogger, but I have to say, I love your style!  And I wish you would post more... :)

Thanks, Sarah! Life got in the way for a bit but I am making more of a concerted effort to take photos, since I do wear clothing even when not posting..

Hi Nina!  Nice style blog here.  I am also into modest clothing and and I just started my blog site.  I'm happy to meet fellow modest fashion bloggers like you.  I've read some of your posts and like you, I don't want restrictions to be the first thing that people will notice on me.  Looking forward to more modest outfit posts from you!
