Why, hello!

I missed sharing my most recent sewing project 

that I wore last Sunday.

Got caught up with pingpong after church 

so ended up too worn out

to post anything here.

Not today! I got a brand new energy.

Probably because of the antihistamine I took yesterday

to relieve me from pollen allergies.

Anyways..I have two things to share here..

One. The apple cheesecake bars 

I found on Pinterest (recipe here).

 It was so easy to make.

 Lookie, how yummy!

Two. I got to wear my very first purchase from Modcloth.

Maybe my last chance to wear short sleeves 

before summer officially ends.

Notice the lace-y sleeve under the dress sleeve?

I knew I have to make some alterations on the sleeves

and maybe the bust area (as well?)..

In the meantime, I decided to wear a lace tee underneath

to hide what needs to be hidden

because I can't wait!

The color is very pretty, I just can't resist!

Got my dress on sale!
They have some good classy items
that are modest and some that can be modesty-fied.
They add new items everyday
so I diligently watch for them everyday too.
So if you haven't, try Modcloth.
Happy back-to-work day tomorrow!

Sharing a Recipe & a DIY

Today we had a potluck at church and 

I brought this delectable red velvet cheesecake bites.

Of course, I'm sharing the recipe! 

I found it on Pinterest that brought me here.

So easy yet so yummy.

Also wanted to share this practical DIY laundry detergent

that is a lot cheaper than the commercial detergent 

and fabric softener selections found at any store racks.

I love how our clothes smell and 

I am confident it cleans very well.

That's it for now!

Too lazy to post my latest sewing project.

Y'all have a good labor day holiday.

Maxi Dress in 5 Ways

Wore this lovely dress to church today

with the purple top (outfit 1) in the picture

and got some very sweet compliments.

I love it to pieces
but with fall expected to come early this year, 

I want to keep it suitable 

when the weather starts to cool down.
So here goes the 5 ways..

The last 4 are a very typical for my office wear.

Hope you all had a blessed weekend! :)

DIY: Bow Top

I have been drooling over bow tops since the beginning of this year.

But I deferred to shop for one online.

I've given up, knowing too well, I'll end up with something too big on me.

Thankfully, thrift stores exist!

I found this top at the junior's rack and fell in love with the chiffon and its gold accents.

I was skeptical it looks big but thought, I could always alter it.

Now look, it is well worth it!

Paired with this pretty lace skirt..

And accented with nude patent pumps and my LVoely manhattan purse.

Here I am..

Grateful for my recovery from almost a week's torture of tummy discomfort.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
