MODESTY: WHAT IS THAT?!

I enjoyed this blog post on MODESTY, and wanted to share it.  When I read postings on the topic I try not to read it as a 30 year old woman, but as a young teenage girl.

I think this view on modesty is simple, direct, yet might actually cause a young girl/woman to think about it, instead of turning them off of the idea of modesty completely, especially those who have no strong religious or moral convictions.

Here's a tidbit. Please click on the link to read the whole article.

Modesty.  What is the first image that comes to mind when someone mentions modesty?  Do you have pictures of Amish women and nuns running through your head?  If so, I would like to show you a different definition of modesty, and why it is so very important for young girls and this generation.

Modesty isn’t solely about “how much skin do I have to cover”, it’s an outside and inside type of lifestyle.  The question shouldn’t be, “how much skin can I show without getting into trouble?”, it should be, “by wearing this, what am I trying to achieve or convey?”

MODESTY: WHAT IS THAT?!

Fashion Friday!

Today I chose my favorites from Shade Clothing. I know it's spring and we want pretty colors and prints, but I did not find a lot of that in their shop. The skirts that did meet that requirement were a bit ( a lot) too short for my taste.

However I do like comfortable clothing and for me I think the below items are great additions to my closet (except I just did some clothes shopping, so they will have to wait) and can be paired with many things. Ok, maybe not the dress, but I do like it!!

T-shirt Dress

Stripe Hoodie

Tank

(tanks & cami's $9.50)

Bomber Zip Jacket

Chunky Open Cardigan

Fashion Friday!

Eventually I will post some of my own modest outfits, but for a few weeks I am just going to share some super pretty stuff I've found recently.

The idea for "Fashion Friday" just came to me, so when I have more time I will post more pictures, and I will try to chose clothing stores that are having a sale.

I love this skirt & blouse combo, unfortunately, from what I can see, they are only selling the skirt. I think it's so pretty!!

Shabby Apple

Skirts $20 or Less

Skirts in the Final Sale section at DenimSkirts.com are just $20.00 or less. I've been very happy with skirts I've purchased from them in the past, so I like to share the website with others.

Hope you find something you like!

Modest Websites

This weekend I am going to go through the list of modest clothing sites that are listed on my side bar. I know that some of them have gone out of business and the websites are no longer up and running.

If anyone has a website they can recommend, please let me know.

Skirts on SALE!!

Thursday's Quote (and a thought from me)

Don't above all things, forget that you are a woman;

she is far more attractive when seen in the flowing draperies

that centuries of use have made their own,

than when masquerading as a man.

I must admit I don't wear dresses or skirts more than once or twice a week (even though I said I would do so everyday in a post a while back...ooops!), but I think there is nothing more beautiful than a woman who is truly feminine.

The beauty of a feminine woman not only comes from the way she dresses, but the way she she speaks, acts, and how she carries herself. A woman who can be truly feminine, with confidence, is really a remarkable woman, especially in this day and age.

One of the blogs I follow (can't remember which) has a separate page called "A Year of Dresses" (or something like that). Everyday she (the blogger) post a picture of which dress she is wearing, and even if it's one she's worn before she seems to wear the dress in a different way than before just by changing a sweater, etc...

I really loved this idea!

I'm more of a skirt girl myself. I love long flowy, almost bohemian style skirts, although I wear many different styles.

Anyhow, finding this blog really has me thinking, and I just might do "A Skirt A Day" or something like it next year. I really am for any opportunity to promote and encourage women (myself included) to dress more like women, and also to dress more modestly.

Who's with me?? :)
