September 2021

Hi, darlings!! Seeing as Fall is coming quickly (IT’S ON WEDNESDAY), I figured that this post would be timely. It’s still fairly warm where I live, but pretty soon the weather will begin to cool down. Which is why I’ve begun searching for various pieces to add to my wardrobe. For this coming Fall, I’m thinking of cozy cardigans, loose flowy mini dresses, pinafore dresses, cabby boy hats, and more!! I dearly hope you guys enjoy this little glimpse into my style <3.

Clothing Items

Farm Fresh Pumpkins Sweatshirt / $30.00 / Sold on Etsy / I’ve been really needing a casual hoodie/sweatshirt for the colder mornings, and honestly, this one is both super casual, but also is really cute? Like it gives off total Cinderella vibes for some reason, and it’s very Fall-ish.

Denim Midi Skirt / $33.99 / Sold on Amazon / I’ve been searching for the perfect denim skirt for a while now and have been very disappointed that they’re all so,, wrong. Every denim skirt I’ve seen before this one was either too short, too long, too tight, too ugly, etc. This skirt is none of those things, it’s modern and feminine and cute and is modest without being frumpy. I actually already ordered this skirt, so like,, is it cheating to put it on here?

Chunky Cardigan / $32.99 / Sold on Amazon / I keep stealing my mom’s cardigan because I don’t have my own, so obviously I need to buy one. Besides, this cardigan is so cute and looks very cozy and nice. I feel like it’d be very versatile.

Mom Jeans / $22.00 / Sold on Target / There are days where I’m just not feeling all that fancy, and on those days what I really want is just a basic outfit formula. Mom jeans give me a casual look to my outfit while still being adorable. I mean,, Topanga wore mom jeans and she was a total style icon.

Pinafore Dress / $19.99 / Sold on Etsy / Don’t you guys love how I have like super feminine vintage clothing items on here, and then I have some super casual 90s stuff?? Yeah, me too. Anyways, I have been really wanting a pinafore dress for a while, and this one is decently affordable. It’s also really pretty.

Green Fit And Flare Mini Dress / $15.88 / Sold on Alter’ed State / I actually just ordered this dress a few days ago and I’m so excited to wear it. I don’t love how low the back is, which is why I’ll probably wear a cardigan with it. I also hope it’s not too short. But other then that, it’s adorable ahh.

Gratia Plena Shirt / $24.00 / Sold on Etsy / I don’t wear a lot of graphic tees because finding cute ones is hard, but this one looks adorable. I also love how it’s catholic themed, without being pushy.

Button Down Floral Midi Skirt / $48.00 / Sold on Etsy / I already own one skirt like this, and I adore it. These skirts are so cute and just so feminine ahh.

Accessories

Cabby Boy Hat / $13.99 / Sold on Amazon / I’ve seen these around the internet and think that they’re adorable. My hair is in that weird pixie cut stage where it’s like a short bob, but I can’t do much with it, so I’m hoping that maybe this hat will help wrangle it on it’s worst days haha.

Clip On Hoop Earrings / $7.69 / Sold on Amazon / My ears are allergic to normal earrings, which is really sad, but thankfully, these earrings exist to save me haha. My sister bought a set of these a while ago, and she loves them.

Rosary Bracelet / $27.16 / Sold on Etsy / I already have a rosary but it’s really cheaply made and is already rusting, which is really sad. Which is why I need a new one. I love how this bracelet is both a rosary and a bracelet. Besides, it’s really pretty.

Crucifix Necklace / $18.00 / Sold on Etsy / I love how cross necklaces are so dainty and delicate, and I love how this one especially adds a catholic touch to any outfit. It also seems like a lovely conversation starter.

Shoes

Ankle Boots / $43.98 / Sold on Amazon / Okay, first of all, I desperately need shoes that are not sneakers or heels, and second of all, boots are perfect for Fall. Especially these boots, they’re so cute ahh.

Ballet Flats / $14.88 / Sold on Amazon / These are just. the perfect addition to my wardrobe. They’re very classy and timeless and I WANT THEM (I know, such a valid reason).

Hi darlings, I’m back from my hiatus!! Which is super exciting, because I’ve missed you all so much. It’s been almost a month since I last published on here and ahh I’ve really missed posting. Thank you all so much for your patience as you all waited for me to finish my hiatus. It’s been an insane few weeks and truth be told, my life is still insane. A lot has happened since I last posted here, I’m now a public high schooler, which is a huge change. Fall is almost here, which is also something I’m very happy about (I’m not a huge Summer fan). Honestly, there’s so much to unpack in today’s post, so I guess,,, just keep reading!!

A Big Long Rambly Life Update

So much has happened in the last month (August literally slipped away in a moment of time). As I already mentioned, I started going to a public high school (let me know if you guys want a post about that), and it is literally nothing like homeschooling. I have homework every night (my daily screen time has gone down from 5 hours and 30 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes. That means that I’m doing A LOT more schoolwork every day). I go to school from 8:00am to 3:25pm. That’s a long time haha. I have a lot less free time, which is actually good, it has taught me to be more careful with my time.

I joined a writers workshop, The Young Writers Workshop (I highly recommend it!!) and I’m loving the support I’m getting on there. I’ve been writing more poetry as a result of meeting some wonderful poets there and it’s becoming my main creative escape. I love how everyone on there is so sweet and kind. YWW is honestly a lovely community and I’m so glad I joined it.

I did something terrifying last Friday. I got…. VACCINATED!! I’m now halfway vaccinated and I’m so proud of myself ahh. I was pretty nervous about the side effects, but so far all I’ve had is a really sore arm. I originally was not planning to get vaccinated, due to my fears of the side effects, but I eventually realized that with my brothers being very high risk and me being in a school with 400 kids, getting vaccinated was the best choice for both my health and the health of others around me. I get my second dose in a few weeks and hopefully my side effects will be very mild (if you’re religious, please please pray that I would have mild side effects).

Blog + Etsy Plans

As my blog grows more and more, I am beginning to see blogging as less of a hobby and more of a job. And you want to take your job seriously, right? I want to start updating my blog over the next few months, and hopefully eventually move to being self hosted. Updating my blog means that I will be adding better photography and making the overall aesthetic of my blog cohesive, editing previous posts to be more professional, hopefully starting up an Etsy shop + podcast + email list, and more!! My main goal is to have all this set up and ready by 2022. I will have more information about this coming soon 🙂

Another thing I need to address is that I’m closing down Stars & Stories. I can’t run two blogs at once, the pressure and pull between the two is exhausting. I had to choose one, and I chose Full Of Grace. Mind you, I’ll still be posting bookish posts here due to the fact that that I am struggling to find a niche. I think that my main goal for Full Of Grace will be to assist you in your walk with Christ Jesus. I find myself taking my faith more and more seriously, and can’t help but bring that onto my blog.

Some Inspiration For Your September

Under blue skies,

on cracked rocks,

in dry heat,

in desert land,

grace is the hand that is never out of reach

reminding you:

you are not weak

because you are lonely.

♡ Morgan Harper Nichols

Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works.

♡ Psalm 40:5

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;

I will sing and give praise.

Awake, my glory.

Awake, lute and harp!

I will awaken the dawn.

I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing to You among the nations.

For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,

And Your truth unto the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

Let Your glory be above the earth.

♡ Psalm 57:7-11

And one thing you’ll find is that you are royalty. You are a child pf the King of the universe. You don’t have to be overwhelmed by anything or intimidated by anyone. You’re God’s royal son or daughter, which means you can do whatever He calls you to do. All you have to do is try, and He will do the rest.

Read this and take it personally: you are far from worthless.
