The Color Issue

The Color Issue

August 29, 2012

Pardon me for a moment while I talk about fashion... 1) I have been wearing way more color than usual lately. Typically, I am a cream, brown, olive green, navy, and a splash of mustard girl. To me... gold is colorful. What can I say? My inner color wheel is very muted and subtle. But these last few weeks of summer I have been all about bright colors... lime, coral, teal, etc. I don't know what's gotten into me. But I kind of like it... {Dress as top: TJ Maxx // Skirt: Banana Republic // Necklace: Loveshop80 {eBay} // Sandals: Target} 2) I am obsessed with wearing dresses as skirts and dresses as shirts, etc. In these pics the coral top is really a short cotton dress. The long teal skirt is really a maxi dress. I'm all about it, y'all. {Dress as top: TJ Maxx // Dress as skirt: TJ Maxx // Belt: F21? // Sandals: Chinese Laundry {Ross} 3) Oh, and I really love the sandals in the picture above. I got them at Ross for $10.99. I am having the best luck with Ross shoes lately. Not mad about it. 4) Have you SHOPPED MY CLOSET yet? The sale is going on over HERE! *Linking up with The Pleated Poppy* ... Read more

The time has come…

The time has come…

August 28, 2012

It's time. If you follow me on Instagram {@jenrussum}, you might remember that I went on a random closet cleaning rampage a few weeks ago at 2am. Here's the deal... I always clean out my closet. Like once every month or two at least. I get rid of something here and something there all the time. But about once a year I go crazy and get rid of EVERYTHING! Okay, not everything, but LOTS of stuff. And usually I sell my clothes at Plato's Closet or a local consignment shop. I'm pretty good at making cash with my gently used clothing {see my tips for selling your clothes here}. But this time, I want to try something different. I am going to give YOU a chance to shop my closet before I head down to my favorite secondhand shops with all my goods. So head on over to my new SHOP MY CLOSET page. I have about ten things listed right now. As these items sell, I will add more, because my "get rid of" pile is BIG and you know the minimalist in me wants it all gone ASAP! Happy shopping! ...

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
