Hey everyone!

I realllly wish the weather would turn to Summer. Its supposed to be in the high 70's lower 80's this week.. YAY!
So for schoolwork I've been emailing different states seeing if they'd send me pamphlets and the sorts through the mail for my schoolwork, AND SOME HAVE! ITS SOO COOL! lol.

Atira.

I know, I'm sorry, and I feel bad.

I know I've been neglecting you. I don't mean to. My other blog, my doll blog, the one that I'm trying to go big, get sponsors and more followers, takes up all my blogging time. I dink around on the computer the rest of the time. I'm sorry.
I will try harder, to keep you updated.

Anywho, for my birthday I got a camera!!! A Canon Elph 130 IS. It. Is. AMAZING!! I LOVE IT TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!!!!

Pictures I've taken with it;

This is how good of close ups it does, thats our carpet, with my camera lense diagonaly touching the ground .Yah.
On my birthday morning,I got up, watched I Love Lucy and had biscuits and gravy. Then I got ready, we picked up my grandma and I went and got a hair feather. (Teal with brown stripes). Then we went to the mall and Red Robin, Yumm... :) Then we went to American Girl where I got the dotted tank and brief set. Then, we went to the store to pick up things for dinner; corn on the cob, onion rings, (had watermelon at home) hot dogs and buns, pop rocks and yah... :) Delicious! But before dinner, I got home and got my swimsuit on, and then opened my presents. A bigger memory card for my camera, (14) a neck strap, (thanks obi) A case (Thanks obi) the camera (thanks everyone) a warranty (thanks everyone). I. Was. So. Happy. :)
Then we went swimming. It. Was. Cold. but FUN! :) Then me and mom stayed up till midnight.. A tradition... I almost didn't make it.. ;)
I'll post about my party soon.
XOXO

Modest Fashion- how to do it- find your style

Hiya!
I'm back for another post on fashion.. haha!

So last time I mentioned if wearing tight fitting jeans- layer it with a long top. Layering is sooo cute! Its stylish, modest, and amazing. If its hot outside, then you don't feel like layering, really though. Another way to wear jeans is with the in fashion hi-low tops! It makes it in fashion, darling, and so modest! I don't always like to not have a long something In the front, though. Jeans can look to tight on thighs and areas in there. But it really depends on the jeans and style of pants.
With all the tank tops, lace backed tees, racer backs.... It can be hard to not go with the styles. I'm still debating with myself over racerback. I don't like aton of my back showing.... So, for lacebacked shirts, I just use a colorful shirt underneath- it looks sooo pretty! Racer backs use thick strapped tanks that go out far on the shoulders or short or capped sleeved tees. And lowbacked, those are mostly undershirts and should stay that way. The don't look good worn out. Sorry!
Lets talk about shorty-shorts... Umm... Why don't you just wear underwear out and about? I mean seriously! I LOVE the patterns on some, but their WAY to short! I LOVE some of the styles- but wouldn't wear them! I love the ones with slits that have crochet over it.. But their short!!! I try to go for knee length ones, but all of those are just denim or  plaid. (but I love dark denim with cuffed bottoms)
When your dressing in the morning, if your unsure about it being appropriate ask yourself these questions;
Do I feel comfortable even walking in it in front of my family?
Would I feel comfortable in it in front of my dad or brother?
Would I feel comfortable with other boys or girls seeing me wear this?
Would I feel comfortable meeting G-D in this?
That last one is always hard for me. I imagine myself meeting G-D and going up to hug Him. Would I feel embarrassed? Obviously I would rather wear a fancy dress or something in front of Him... but, you know, improvise. ;P

Another thing. I have American Girl Dolls, as you well know. When I dress them- I try to do it in a reflective way to me. My Mom suggested it to me a couple years ago and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. ;P Sometimes I'll fudge it a little. They'll wear shorts. But their dolls. When I played with Barbies, it didnt' matter. And my Mom didn't care. But they were harder to find appropriate clothes.. I'm not even getting into that... lol.

Anyways, that's the end of that and I gotta go.

Today I thought I'd talk on clothes and modesty.

So for a while now, (and if ever) actually talked on one thing, for a while blog post. ;O
*angels singing* Groud, has been broken here today, people! :P

I LOVE to dress stylishly, but also I love to dress modestly. Sometimes it can be hard to be, different... "different". But in the long run, it will be worth it. To know I didn't indulge in (all) of the fads and trends. (At least the immodest ones) will be nice. Because, sure, who doesn't like to dress fashionably and with the trends. I know I do, sometimes. So most people are over the 'skinny jean trend', even though their still widely sold, but I still LOVE skinny jeans! I wear them every time I wear jeans. I don't own a  pair (that I wear) of non-skinny jeans. I have white skinny jeans and black and blueish-purple, I have grey heart and I think that's all... but you can see I love me a good pair of skinny jeans. I do like super skinny, too. Sometimes. I didn't even know my white ones were just skinny until a few weeks later, but I don't mind! :) When I wear jeans I have to wear long shirts, or dresses. (I do long shirts) Jeans are made so... tight, on the.. butt.... Like, really? It looks soooo tacky. And ugly. And attention you don't need in unneeded attention places. ;P So we buy modest tank tops, ones that are long, and don't fall. That's another problem that I've noticed everywhere, soo many tank tops for layering (or wearing) fall. I hate that. hate. So we finally found a place online called Kosher Casual.Link. I ordered the non ribbed ones. They came being racerback.. Hmm.. It didn't specify they would come that way.. hm.... OH well, I'm still debating with myself if I mind wearing racerback out. My dad said its fine, I think my moms OK with it. But, I don't even have any racerback tops to wear it with sooo its like, WHATEVER! hahahaha! Sorry. *ahem*. But the neckline goes uphigh and I love that! NO more falling shirts! Soon I want to order the ribbed ones in a size larger, it wasn't QUITE long enough. I'm worried though, that if I get a size larger the arm holes will go to low.. We can always sew something in there. I also have noticed everything is made so tight it would fit a beanpole. :P Or, made very weird, or cheap! don't buy SO brand clothes. period. I mean I still buy them sometimes but their cheap. Trust me. I think you can only get them at Kohls, and theres a lot of it at Kohls.

So these are what I do to keep modest. I wear a lot of skirts too, they are very modest and cute. I like to wear around knee length with leggings. So I hope this helped you decide on what you need to do to keep stylish, and modest.
Thanks,
Atira.

Sorry.

Sorry I haven't been posting as much. I just don't know what to post about. I mean, sure I've been doing stuff, but not much that's really interesting.  Or, if it is, I can't post about it quite yet. Sorry, I will soon though. :) So..
I haven't been up to much. Swim is on hold, I'm on a wait list.. Have been since last month. I'm quite irritated about that. Thanks to Grace for teaching me those new swim moves at the pool last week, though! :D
Co Op ended, dunno if I'll be back. I wanna though, its the only time I get to see half my friends though. Hm..
Well, TTYL.

Random blog post.

I'm full. But I want to eat more of my numalicious teriyaki in the fridge. Darn.

I went to a teriyaki joint with my Grandma this afternoon, we went shopping at Catherines then teriyaki, then we went to Ross. I like Ross, there were several shirts I wanted, both were racerback tank tops, one was black with big ruffles down the front, alternating plain and lace. SO darling. The other was cream with tiny ruffles going down the front with gold flecks in it. They were both so pretty. There were both around $8. But I decided not to get them. Hm... Silly me. lol.

Our pool is set up for the season! WOOHOO! Its filling right now. I was going to help my dad set it up when I got home from being with my Grandma but instead I got home to it being set up! (Pulling into our road I had a feeling it would be set up... Creepy!)
Its ice cold right now, and only maybe 5 inches deep, it'll take several days to fill. Its 4 feet deep, or so, and 15 feet across. My dad was scrubbing it with like an inch of water in the bottom and his feet were going numb. That's how cold it was. (Is). I'd love to buy a solar heater for it but their like $50. There is one at target for an Intex 15 foot pool, but I don't have $50...  I'm excited for summer to come and swimming to start! PARTAY!
