I am so glad it's the weekend!! Besides homework and going to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier this weekend, my project is to finish reading this book:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Power-Style-Everything-Tomorrow/dp/006221974X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396667387&sr=8-1&keywords=the+power+of+style+bobbie+thomas

... and try to apply some of the style tips found in it. It's been a great read so far - it focuses on using clothing and style as a mode of expressing your personality, rather than prescribing expensive clothes or teaching you to flaunt your body. I look forward to learning how to incorporate some different clothing items into my wardrobe this summer and better project my personality! I'd like to do a post on Sunshine and Shadow when I've experimented on my own and gotten some tips.

Speaking of personality, I want to learn to hold onto my personality better when I'm surrounded with people who are very different than me. I work with an office full of girls who are loud, cheerful, opinionated, and funny; and the office is always full of lively banter and joking. Unfortunately, as I struggle to keep up with their outspoken style, I usually end up saying things that are un-Christian and don't represent my faith or my real feelings. I want to learn to slow down and take time to think before I speak, so I can stay true to my natural communication style and say what will glorify Christ.

And finally, my most important plan for the weekend is to SLEEP ... I need more than 4 hours of sleep every night!! As soon as this movie's over, I'm off to get started on that project right away!  :-)

Love,
Vicki
