Spring Fashion 2015 Part I

J.M.J.

Hey there! I had a request to do more fashion posts, so here you go! This is part I of a series because spring is such a fun time and there are so many options out there! I am here to sift through them for you to help you discover a look of your own that is functional, stylish, modest, and feminine.

What a fun belt! I don't often wear belts. The darker wash of jeans dresses up the whole outfit. This is a lot of orange, but it works because the neutral white and denim balances it all out. The flats are so cute. A handbag is essential, and a scarf is still acceptable and useful in springtime weather.

This one is more dressed up and dressed down at the same time. It is a perfect blend of chic and casual. The top is so feminine and "flowy," yet the jacket gives it a very tailored and finished look. The lighter wash of jeans makes this outfit not too dressed up, but you could also wear darker denim or slacks if you were going somewhere very fancy. 

This one definitely is for weather that is a bit warmer because of the footwear. These pieces are meant to be layered; I'm not suggesting that you wear the tank top by itself. Layering these articles of clothing will create a very doable outfit as the weather transitions to warmer temperatures. The straw handbag reminds you that summer is on its way. If the weather is getting a little too warm for the long sweater, you could either remove the scarf or wear a light jacket or shawl instead.

Movie Review: Joan of Arc

The 1948 version of Joan of Arc with Ingrid Bergman is an excellent movie, and is also pretty family-friendly. I admire Ingrid Bergman's great acting abilities. She can cry on cue, and shows great emotion at every moment she is focused on. Joan is a fourteen year old girl who is hearing voices from Heaven. She is supposed to lead God's Army against Orleans and crown the Dauphin, Charles VII, as King of France. She does succeed in conquering Orleans. When her army prepares to march against Paris, King Charles sells his country to England. Unfortunately, Joan is then arrested, sold, and subjected to horrible trials that are political, though she is accused of being a heretic and a witch. She was only doing the will of God. There were a couple of faults in this movie. For example, Joan's hair should have grown if she was really on trial for five months. Also, some of the Latin words during the coronation ceremony were mispronounced. The film elements were appropriately si

Try to understand another's point of view. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in ourselves that we do not even regard the other person's opinions. Effective practice of this technique is called dual perspective (thank you, Interpersonal Communication class!) This means that you fully respect both yours and the other individual's unique viewpoint. In doing so, you can both practice humility and develop your listening skills simultaneously! Saint of the Day Wednesday, February 13, 2013 St. Giles Mary of St. Joseph (1729-1812) In the same year that a power-hungry Napoleon Bonaparte led his army into Russia, Giles Mary of St. Joseph ended a life of humble service to his Franciscan community and to the citizens of Naples. Francesco was born in Taranto to very poor parents. His father’s death left the 18-year-old Francesco to care for the family. Having secured their future, he entered the Friars Minor at Galaton

+ J.M.J. It was great at the very start Hands on each other Couldn't stand to be far apart Closer the better This is the infatuation stage. Every relationship is exciting at the beginning. You want to be around each other all the time. Now we're picking fights And slamming doors Magnifying all our flaws And I wonder why Wonder what for Why we keep coming back for more Every healthy relationship has fights and disagreements. It matters how you solve them. Slamming doors isn't a great way to do that. But I will say, that a relationship will show all your flaws more than anything else will! This girl is questioning whether the relationship is worth it since they fight.  Is it just our bodies? Are we both losing our minds? Is the only reason you're holding me tonight 'Cause we're scared to be lonely? Do we need somebody Just to feel like we're alright? Is the only reason you're holding me tonight &#
