LONG LINES

 Does this dress look familiar? Yep, I've worn it before! I decided to wear it to church on Sunday. The last time I wore this dress the pictures came out blurred and the lighting was bad so I decided to take some pics of it outside. I love the long black lines against this beautiful blue vintage dress so so much! 
Hope you like it too! 
p.s. the lace slip underneath is showing on purpose! lol



I will not be posting for the next few days because I am leaving for Georgia in the morning. My brother is getting married this weekend and my hubby is the wedding officiant/minister! This wedding is extra special because it is a wonderful story of overcoming tragedy. It proves that God can soften your heart to love again after something awful breaks your heart. My brother was married before and his wife died (in his arms) of cancer at the age of 27. Five years later...he has found love again! He and his previous wife had 2 children. This God sent wife-to-be has taken care of my niece and nephew as if they were her own. We are so happy for him! Ok, I'm getting ready to cry now. Anywho, I'll be in Georgia all weekend but if time allows, I will take some pics of what I wear to the wedding.

With Love,
Kiah

Congratulations to your brother and his new wife! That is a lovely story of their relationship :)

I really love black and blue as a color combination, and I really like the way you've added these black accessories to make this dress look different from how you've worn in before. The lace peeking out at the hem is soooo foxy. With those boots you are unstoppable!

Your brother and his soon-to-be wife have such an amazing story(When God writes it, it is far better than anything imaginable... from ashes comes beauty.)

Loving your dress! That shade of blue looks so good on you! The tough boots add such a nice touch! It is inspiring to see you re-wear and post because we definitely don't have unlimited wardrobes or funds so we gotta re-wear.

I'll be praying for safe travels Kiah =)

Such a touching story! God really does take care of his children. I'm sorry for your brother's/niece/nephew's loss, but Im happy that God provided your brother with a new companion, and your niece and nephew with a new "mother".

I love the creativity in allowing your slip to show! Soo cute.


Have a safe trip to Georgia.

Awww, congrats to your brother! I hope this marriage lasts forever :) I'm wondering the bow on the neck is part of the dress, or if you are wearing a blouse underneath... Are you?

What a beautiful wedding story! And I love this dress. The blue color is brilliant and I love how the stripes go vertically instead of the usual horizontal stripes. I've missed seeing your outfits, I'll have to check out the ones I missed while I was away!
