NOT ALL FRIDAYS ARE GOOD
I debated with myself whether to post today or not, because of Good Friday. I didn’t want to appear callus to the supreme sacrifice made on this day, but at the same time, this is a fashion blog. So in the end I decided to do both. A fashion blog in the beginning, and a tribute as the ending.
I am back in front of my plain ole brick wall. Nothing very pretty to look at, and no gorgeous view. But I guess it will do just fine. I am all decked out in pastels, and I like it. I have never been one who liked pastels and have steered clear of most of them. However, I bought this top at the QVC outlet store, and just fell in love with the color and the material. It is very soft, and very high quality. I really like the two pockets for an added detail. This is Linea by Louis Dell’Olio, and here are some similar ones in misses and plus sizes.
The pink in the scarf and the pink of the bag coordinate well. This is what I call “put together.”
Once again I think the scarf makes this outfit. This scarf screams spring. I love the colors and the print on the scarf. I bought it from Old Navy a couple years ago. Some of you have wondered about how to wear a scarf that is bulky. This scarf is on the bulky side, but I like it tied like this.
I am still in love with my Vera Bradley tote. The hot pink tote is one that I will carry all spring and all summer. Here are a couple Vera bags in pink.
Today is Good Friday. A solemn day when the death of Jesus Christ is commemorated. With such a terrible act happening on that day, I have often wondered why anyone would call it good. I understand that Jesus suffered and died to give us the promise of ever lasting life, but I still can’t wrap my head around calling it good. So, I googled it. The best explanation that I found it this. The word good is an antiquated meaning of holy. Now, that makes sense. Holy Friday I can understand. Other names for Good Friday is, Passion Friday and Sacred Friday. I found a pin on Pinterest this morning that sums up the next couple of days.
The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

Love, love the top. It’s my favorite color and looks beautiful on you.
I agree. “Holy” sums it up. I know that was the plan. Such a great love for us that He took on our sins, died for us so that we could have life. JUST BELIEVE IN HIM!
I love the color combo. You nailed the look. Keep up the good work. Been following you for a while now.

Love ran red. But on the third day, everything was okay.
I struggle on Holy Week, knowing what our Lord went through. Everything changes on Sunday. Have a blessed Easter! (Love you in the pastel blue, BTW.)
Thanks for your post. And it is a blessing to learn more about this day, I too had wondered about the reason for “Good” being used to define this day. I love your blog, and the outfits you put together.Thanks again, your fellow TN girl!
