I'm a daughter of God, & I'm holding on to virtue.

Jenny Phillips - Virtue.

 I've been reading article after article about love and marriage and virtue on lds.org. At first I just wanted to clarify something, and then I couldn't stop; there were just too many good links. It's like Youtube surfing, Mormon-style. Nothing is getting in the way of my hopes and dreams of Happily Ever After. Nothing. I'm so blessed to have a best friend (or boyfriend, if you like) who respects me and has the same goals, in terms of marriage and purity. I don't know what the future holds for either of us, but I know that when we meet again, I will look him in the eye, no regrets. Except perhaps not appreciating him enough. But that's something I can work on now. 

On Wednesday, I took the day off uni to accompany the best friend to the dentist, to have his extra wisdom tooth removed for his mission. Because he was such a brave boy, I surprised him with a cuggly teddy bear, some L&P and some mushy food like Le Rice and Up & Go. Apart from the pain that ensued when the anaesthetic wore off, we had such a wonderful day. The tooth extraction ordeal was finished by 10.30, so we had the rest of the day to spend together. We went shopping with his family (where we bought me a new jumper and three dresses! D:); watched the first two episodes of The Mentalist, Season 5; blew bubbles with his little sister, though the wind blew more than we could; invented our own rugby game; made a video diary and video messages for a friend in America; and had a delightful little pickernick at the Temple before Institute (religion class).

Anyways, I haven't done an outfit post in a while, so I'll just grab some more pics off my Instagram (sariah_x). 

Valleygirl jeans, thrifted shirt, Rubi loafers, Equip necklace and Big W cuff bracelet.

 I wore this on my first day back of uni after our midsemester break, which went far too quickly! It was one of those outfits that I just felt really good in, and didn't need to keep adjusting throughout the day!

Thrifted Temt skirt/dress, gifted Target shirt, Rubi boots, Equip rings and necklace, Big W bracelet.

I turned this dress into a skirt, since it was too short as it was. I adore the soft colours and the pretty floral print, and I'm loving my new boots! 

Kmart t-shirt, JayJays jacket, thirfted Converse hi-tops.

I had a presentation in Sociology of Youth and Childhood this week, so I decided to wear my 'Forever Young' t-shirt and my Converse ultra hi-tops, which I bought secondhand for $4 years ago but have hardly ever dug out of the closet!

Factorie jumper, Cocolatte dress.

The jumper the best friend and I bought on Wednesday. I know it's coming into warmer weather, but it was only because it's American and so is he. And it was $5, down from $50 so I think it was just meant to be. The dress, though you can't see it very well, has light grey and white stripes, and was also $5... which is why I bought three (including one in plain grey, and one pink-and-white-striped).

Well, I've just started reading Agatha Christie's Poirot books, and I want to finish the one I've started and get enough sleep for General Conference tomorrow.  By some small miracle, I have the day off work, so I can attend the Saturday sessions at our chapel. I have so many things to work on, and so many areas I need guidance; I can't wait!
