Window Shopping - On ETSY!!

On days that I decide to walk on the treadmill I usually goof off on the computer, and sometimes I manage to some get blogging done. You can actually tell how much exercising I get done by how often I post, and as you can see it's been a while...

Online window shopping is one of my favorite ways to kill time, especially on Etsy. I love sharing great finds, and below you'll find a quite a few recent favorites. I have to admit, I did not share everything because some things were added to my cart. :)

Just click on the photos and you will be taken to where you can purchase that item.

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?”

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

Bomber Zip Jacket

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!!

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.
