Nearly New Year.

Vintage Plaid Dress, Vintage Ferragamos, Purse: Thrifted.
Hair Bow: Forever21.
Key Necklace: Gift from my aunt.

Hello! 
This is one of the two vintage dresses I thrifted the other day. Usually I think I would have passed it by, but I began following Noelle's Favorite Things a few weeks ago and have really become inspired by the way she wears plaid. She also takes her photos in the beauty of urban NYC, so I thought I'd venture to my much (much) smaller downtown area for photos.

I went to church today for the first time since being home at the somewhat 'regular' church I've been going to for the past 9 months. I don't know why, but I've felt it hard to be excited about going to church and getting into the word. Perhaps it's because the excitement of being a new believer has worn off and the feeling of being in touch with Him is harder to reach now. I dragged my body out of bed this morning, knowing I should at least put effort forth before I go back to Kent regretful for not making it at least once. And I am sure glad I did. Church was wonderful for me and it opened up my heart again to being excited about all things in Him. The talk today was on not giving up and positively living your life which was perfect to get me inspired for the new year. I'm now anxiously awaiting for next Sunday when I can go again--thankful that my heart excited ♥

With much love, Lauren.

Very glad to hear about your great church visit. It is so helpful to charge the batteries in that area to stay the loving, strong woman you are. Sure helps me out too.

That dress is wonderful, very retro but on the cusp of being back in at the same time. Like the color of the tights and was glad to see them at least a little. Those shoes are adorable! Superb photos, dear :)

Lovely! Blackwatch (which is the specific tartan plaid your dress is) is my ultimate favorite plaid coloring! That's awesome that you felt encouraged and re-energized by your church service, God always seems to know exactly what we need in each moment. :)

I used to read your blog a couple years ago, but somehow it got deleted off my blogger reader! Needless to say...."I'm baaaack!" Lol!
I can relate to your struggle with church, it seems like Satan seriously attacks me on Sundays. Sometimes you just have to ignore feelings and do what you need to, ya know?
Beautiful outfit!
Blessings,
Natasha
