Stuff!

Hey guys!
I've totally got stuff! I know this video is kind of long but this is just some of the things I've gotten so far for the mission that they ask us to have. Hopefully it helps and hopefully it doesn't bore you, but if so then I guess you can just admire the fantastic hair day I'm having ;)

Thanks!

Mission Clothes

I have finally come to the conclusion that I *think* I'm all set for what clothes I'm bringing to Peru.
I know a lot of girls have questions about what's appropriate and what's too bright or too flamboyant or whatever... well this is what I came up with!

Honestly I have a lot of button-ups and quarter-sleeves.. but I think that'll be good for the diverse seasons (Peru doesn't get incredibly hot or incredibly cold either, just a little bit of both)

My mission packet said specifically:

Outfits (5-6)

Shoes (2)

Exercise clothing:

   - 2 pair Capri-length or longer pants

   - 2 modest t-shirt with no inappropriate logos or sayings

   - athletic shoes and socks

One set of clothing for activities where regular missionary attire is not appropriate:
   - pants must be full length. 
Sweaters (1-2): cardigans recc., solid in color

Pajamas (1): robe and slippers as needed. 

Shower sandals

So... Here are a few of the outfits I have for mission attire:

So as you can see, it's super easy to mix-and-match with basically any pattern. When everything was said and done, I used 14 shirts and 6 skirts to make 73 outfits. 73!!! I won't have to wear the same thing twice for over two months. 

I'll update with accessories later!

It's here.

It's here! My bag is finallyyyy here and I am officially convinced that I am going to look totally rad every day with this thing. I got it from OGIO.com, a place I recommend every missionary to look at because they give you a 50% discount if you can send them a scan of your mission call.

This bag was $40 but I got it for $20 with the discount!! 

They have a lot of colors to choose from but I hardly have any yellow in my wardrobe and I've heard a lot that Peruvians love colors so I think I could possibly make a few friends with this thing. 

The strap is way super comfy and definitely doesn't get in the way if you wear it over the shoulder..but the best part is the inside!

As you can see I have my Spanish scriptures (larger than regular size, smaller than large print), a notebook, and my mini PMG book and there's still plenty of room for pamphlets or paperwork and what-have-you...plus pockets :) and who can't love the polka dots?!

Really though. Very sturdy, compact, pretty. A serious recommendation.
