A Christian Modest Fashion Blog: What I Wear, What I Do And Why I Did It

What I Wear-1940's Style

2012-02-09T17:42:00.000-07:00

I have to confess that I only wore this hat for the pictures, my hair was wet when we left and didn't dry till we got back home (when we took pictures). I let my hair dry naturally after a shower, it gets interesting in the Winter! I have to make sure I don't go out with wet hair when it's super cold (one time my hair actually froze!). Needless to say, I no longer take showers Sunday morning, I

What I Wear-Zeena Cowl Neck Shirt

2012-02-01T12:33:00.000-07:00

I was contacted by Zeena about their company, so I offered to do a product review of their Pleated Cowl Neck Shirt. All the clothing on the site is fairly modest (by my standards). I received top notch customer service and prompt replies. The shirt appears to be good quality, and fits well. I wouldn't reccomend wearing the shirt without some sort of belt or "cinch device", as it's roomy without

What I Wear-Leather Jacket & Letter From God

2012-01-25T15:06:00.000-07:00

This letter was sort of inspired by a post I read. What exactly was I trying to say? You're beautiful! God made you just the way He wanted you to be, so don't put yourself down! You don't have to feel inferior, because you're not! We need to remember that it's like slapping God in the face when we insult His creation-you. Try to see yourself the way He sees you, pray and ask Him to show you

Verse Watches Product Review-Pure Watch

2012-01-25T14:27:00.000-07:00

The Verse Watches company contacted me and asked me to do a review of their company. I picked the Pure watch. I was especially happy to find out that the watch has a Bible verse on the back! All of the watches are engraved with the same Bible verse and have your choice of black, white and grey. The watch appears to be good quality, it's made out of some sort of rubber, which makes it comfortable

What I Wear-Bohemian/Hippy/Cowgirl

2012-01-22T17:14:00.001-07:00

I really don't like "cowgirl" style, but that is the best way to describe this outfit. I thought of at least three different outfits I could've worn this morning, but I haven't worn this shirt/short dress since this Summer. So I figured it was time to pull it out again. Anyone notice anything different about me...? Yes! You guessed it, you can see my eyes! LoL! I cut my bangs a couple days

What I Wear- eShakti.com Dress

2012-01-18T22:04:00.000-07:00

I'm wearing: Burnt Orange Phonograph eShakti dress, black Target leggings, Black Go Jane boots I decided to dig my eShakti dress out of the back of my closet and wear it again. I love the style and color, unfortunately it's a bit too "fitted" for my body shape. So this is me leading by example: tight-ish outfit? Wear things that draw attention away from that area! Thus the black cardigan and

What I Wear-Maurices Sweater Dress And Modesty

2012-01-15T17:55:00.000-07:00

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 I'm Wearing: Grey Sweater-Maurices, Black Modesty 4 Me Cami, Black Leggings-Target, Black boots-Go Jane. Remember that Maurices sweater dress I told you about yesterday? This is it! I really like how it fits and it's super warm! You can't really see them, but I added leg warmers to peek out of

What I Wear-Furry Hands And New Modest Fashionistas!

2012-01-14T12:55:00.000-07:00

I'm Wearing: Brown Scarf-Hallmark Store, Red Thrifted-Maurices vest, Brown Shirt-Thrifted MauricesPlaid Thrifted-Jcrew Skirt, Brown tights?, Black boots-Go Jane Fur fingerless gloves-Claires In all fairness, I actually wore this yesterday. My sister and I saw Warhorse. Let me just say it was...depressing. It was really good, don't get me wrong! But it was a World War II movie...set in England.

What I Wear- Sunday A'eropostale Casual

2012-01-08T17:43:00.000-07:00

I'm wearing: Black Shimmery Aeropostale Shirt, Black Thumbhole Jcpenney's Shirt, White Thrifted Skirt, Black Go Jane Boots I was able to drag convince my little sister to take my photos after we got home from church. It was so dark this morning that I couldn't get any photos before church, thus the messy hair. My hair seems to be getting greasy easier lately, which is weird since I can

What I Wear-Crazy Outfit And Moderation

2012-01-02T13:59:00.000-07:00

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31 If you've known me for even a few months, you know I'm what people call "extreme". There was the time I said I wasn't going to buy any clothes for a month (I bought a pair of tights and a shirt...). I said I wasn't going to eat any sugar (Obviously that didn't last...). And on and on the list goes

Product Review: Modest Sea Alternative Swimwear

2011-12-19T10:54:00.001-07:00

I'm sure all of you have experienced the frustration of looking for a swimsuit, at least once! On the one hand, you don't want a swimsuit that is so revealing you want to dash right to the pool and jump in. On the other hand, you don't want a drop dead ugly swimsuit. I'm very happy to offer you a solution: The Eva Moderate Coverage Swimsuit I tried on the swimsuit this morning! The fabric is

What I Wear-Oops I'm Late And Being Yourself

2011-11-21T16:42:00.000-07:00

Sometimes it can be hard to show people the "real you". But it's absolutely crucial! I know from personal experience that people can only hide their true selves for a short time. But eventually, your true character comes out. There have been times when I've felt like I met a different person the first time I met them. We could all save ourselves and others much heartache if we would only try to

Fall Fashion Challenge Day-4 Favorite Fashion Era

2011-11-09T18:51:00.000-07:00

So once again, "miss break all the rules" its at it, this isn't my "favorite" fashion era (the 1950's) but it's a lovely one! I bought this adorable shirt the other day, and had to make an outfit out of it for the fashion week. Once again, my mom thought the shirt was ugly. But I couldn't resist! Really I couldn't! I saw the outfit as soon as I saw the shirt! Too cute to pass up. I really

"Bold Tights" Fall Fashion Challenge Day-3 (sort of)

2011-11-09T10:02:00.000-07:00

Today is actually day 4 of the Fall Fashion Challenge, so I'm posting a bit late. I wasn't able to get photos till it was dark, thus the weird red face/awful posing/flash! But I do like this outfit, I think it turned out well! The theme is "bold tights" so I sacrificed and wore some tights that were too short. I can't seem to find warm tights that are long enough, they're always way too short

Fall Fashion Challenge Day-2 Unrelated Colors

2011-11-07T14:04:00.001-07:00

The theme of today is supposed to be to wear colors that don't go together. I contemplated paring this shirt with my red skirt, but opted for this toned down navy blue. I wouldn't normally wear these two colors together...but I think it looks okay. However, you must excuse my gross hair. I didn't have a desire to take a shower and head out into the snow and take photos. So please ignore my

What I Wear-Hoodie

2011-11-03T14:12:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone, today I felt a little "casual" so instead of just dressing casual, I paired it with a dressy necklace and hoop earrings. For some odd reason every time I want to dress up an outfit that feels too casual, I grab my hoop earrings. It makes me feel better anyway.... I've decided to go ahead and have a Feminine Friday THIS Friday (tomorrow!) so look for the linky on my blog

Your Story Princess Jasmine stopped to catch her breath. Is it worth it, the long trek up the mountain? The talk of the town was of the King who dwells on the high mountains. The mountains covered with icy snow and filled with every danger imaginable. The sky darkens as the sun goes down. Jasmine utters a small sigh. One foot in front of the other. You can do this, Jasmine! After what seems

What I Wear-Lemon Lime Sweater & America

2011-10-17T12:31:00.001-06:00

Our church sponsored a Russian Christian band Spasenie last week. The day of the concert, they found out that the Russian government had passed a law that, if you protested the government, the KGB had the right to shoot you on sight. It made me think about how lucky I am to live in America! I have the freedom to protest the government if I wish. I have the right to speak out on issues

What I Wear-1940's Hat And Mustard Yellow Skirt

2011-10-10T14:09:00.000-06:00

So I've begun to wonder, are any of you out there artists? I don't mean "do you paint like Max Lucado?" I mean amature artists? beginners? Experienced? Dabblers? I would consider myself to be an amature artist. I've really been into pencil portraits of late, and I'm enjoying myself. I even set up an ART BLOG awhile back. My reasoning behind asking this: If there are quite a few of us, I was

What I Wear-Bomber Jacket Obsession

2011-10-07T19:41:00.000-06:00

The word "obsession" comes to mind when I think of my bomber jacket. I'm sooo glad I bought this jacket! It goes with everything in my closet, fits well, and it was a massive bargain! I pulled out my plaid skirt which I haven't worn since last Winter. I still love the pattern, however a year of abuse use, has left the hemline looking...worn. I'm going to have to use my serger and sew it up again

What I Wear- Feminine Bomber Jacket & The Heart

2011-10-05T13:07:00.000-06:00

The heart is an important part of us. So many times we let thoughts or feelings into our hearts, ultimately it can destroy us! The heart can decimate our character, it can control our actions if we let it. The Bible says: "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." Proverbs 4:23 "As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man." Proverbs 27:

So after taking pictures, I realized that my outfit consisted of red, and green! Two colors I vowed never to mix before Christmas! But I really like the outfit, and it's not really green per-say, is it? I say it's neon green. I'm completley and utterly stressed out by Algebra right now.

God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 I'm going to start this post of with an ever shocking detail- I'm not perfect! Umm..okay..so it's not that shocking! It's actually common

Fur Purse-Do It Yourself!

2011-09-08T17:27:00.000-06:00

So I've been coveting some purses that sport fur covering. I also happened to see that the price tag said $32. Not that much for some, but a whole lot of money for a purse by my standards. So what did I do? I made one! I took a $6 purse from Payless, fur from Joanns and 'voila! Fur purse! As to how I did it? Really I have to give credit to my mom. She helped me cut the right amount of fabric, and

What I Wear- Fall Approaching

What I Wear- Casual Tuesday & Freedom

2011-08-30T14:23:00.000-06:00

Today I feel grateful. Grateful that I can even write this blog post. Grateful that I can talk about God on my blog, and not be put into prison for it. Blessed to live in America! No, America isn't perfect. In fact we have some serious issues. But we have the freedom to have those issues! We have the freedom to tell people what we're thinking. No one can tell me not to dress in these clothes, and

What I Wear- White Again And Peacock Feather Earrings

2011-08-17T12:15:00.000-06:00

Yes, I'm wearing white...again. But it is a different shirt! Plus I'm wearing "real" earrings again! Awhile back they got pussy and irritated and I had to stop wearing my earrings till the healed up. I've been very bad, I haven't exercised regularly like I should. It's so hot that it's hard to get my lazy bones downstairs and do Turbo Jam. I always feel so much better after I exercise, I don't

What I Wear-White And Turquoise Shirt

2011-08-16T15:04:00.000-06:00

Hey I'm back! Back from where? DownPour Festival 2011! YEAH! I'm obsessed with music, so concerts are a blast for me. I like to be close to the stage, but not too close. I also like to be amidst the "crazy people" I do all the hand things and jumping. Too fun! Seriously, this concert is something I look forward to every year. The best part? Disciple was there and had an alter call (where they ask

What I Wear-Hummingbird Shirt And God Esteem

2011-08-11T12:07:00.000-06:00

I assume most of you have heard the term "low self esteem"? We throw it around flippantly, until it no longer has a true meaning. Low self esteem is a stamp we put on people-"Oh, poor girl. She's always had such low self esteem." But I want to pose a question to you: have you ever really thought about what 'low self esteem' actually means? To be honest, I have very little desire to have self

Colorado Springs, CO Trip Part 2 WARNING-PICTURE LADEN POST!

2011-08-10T15:59:00.000-06:00

So this is slightly delayed! You can see part 1 HERE. But last month I visited my grandparents, aunt and uncle, brother and new sister in law in Colordo Springs. While there, I decided to be a dork in the mall and try on these adroable, yet crazy, hats in the Burlington Coat Factory! I have no idea where people would wear these, but they sell them! Great photo opportunity anyway! All the pictures

Pixie Dust Glitter Nails

2011-08-09T14:52:00.000-06:00

I decided to try something I saw on somones blog-Glitter nails! Basically all I did was paint the nails white, let dry. Then dabbed on 2 different colors of glitter on my nail tips. Opinions? any thoughts on improving them?

What I Wear- Monday Outfit

2011-08-08T13:13:00.000-06:00

Wow...two outfit posts in a row?! Yes, I feel fine. No there's nothing wrong. Perhaps I might even have another outfit post this week! We'll see... As anyone ever heard of the latest "newspaper nails"? I saw it on someones blog, and I'm thinking of trying it. You soak newspaper in alcohol, dip your painted nail in alcohol, and then put the newspaper on your fingernail and it transfers the words!

What I Wear- Floral Skirt Part 2

2011-08-07T20:28:00.000-06:00

This is the outfit I wore today, a re-mix of a previous outfit. I trimmed my bangs last night, and accidentally snipped at a weird angle, so now my bangs are a tad too short, and completely straight now instead of feathered. Hate it, love it, it is what it is! I've decided that I'm going to cut off 10" of hair in December for Locks of love. I measured the other night, and at the length it is

What I Wear-Simplicity

2011-08-05T17:18:00.000-06:00

Oh my gosh! I can't believe how far behind I am in my blogging! Will my dear readers forgive me for leaving them for so long?! I finally got these photos yesterday, I know the outfit isn't spectacular, but it does show my more casual side. As of right now I'm wearing the same skirt and a blue shirt from Maurices, in case anybody cares! : ) I'm wearing: White Pac Sun Shirt, Thrifted Blue Jean

What I Wear- Vintage Floral Skirt And Eggshells

2011-07-25T12:20:00.000-06:00

Eggshells, beating around the bush, putting it delicately -how many ways can you say keeping your mouth shut?! People that have known me for awhile will know I'm...bold. Blunt. I don't like to dance around subjects, if someone's doing something that I know is wrong, I'm not just going to keep my mouth shut and let them keep doing it. Yes, certain situations call for closing your mouth. But why do

Nature Pictures In Montana By Natasha Atkerson

2011-07-18T13:14:00.000-06:00

The tempature outside is currently 94 deg! So I decided to water the plants. After I watered the plants, the leafs, flowers and spiders called to me! I had to take their pictures, hopefully no one minds my taking a break from fashion! If so, please let me know. I can always post photography at my art blog instead. Isn't this spider picture neat?! I don't even like spiders, but I couldn't

What I Wear- Turquoise And Laziness

2011-07-18T10:07:00.000-06:00

There's nothing more repulsive to me than a lazy person! And unfortunately, I have tendencies towards laziness. It's a constant battle between laziness and working. I was just talking with a friends yesterday about how much I enjoy a clean room. However, right now my room is a pig-sty (It's my goal today to super clean). Why don't I clean it? Laziness! How much time does it take to just put away

Watching the days fly by, it's day 3 already of the Modest Cyber Fashion Show! I've been contimplating doing some sort of link-up monthly. Would anyone be interested in that? I was thinking of something like "Style a Mini skirt modestly" or something like that, where girls can pick something that's not modest, and turn it into something that is modest! Any thoughts? I'd really like to do

This is my outfit for day 2 of the Cyber Modest Fashion Show! I went with simple, yet feminine. I recently purchased this Jcrew brand blue jean skirt at a thrift shop for $3.99!

What I Wear- 4th Of July 2011

2011-07-05T13:35:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone! This post is a bit late. But better late than never, right? I took these pictures Sunday (the 3rd) but I wore a similair outfit (I didn't get pictures!) yesterday. I just swapped out the skirt and took off the jacket. My town does the fireworks on the 3rd (weird right?). So yesterday our tow truck was in the 4th of July parade, that was cool! And we had fun, although the weather was

Colorado Springs, CO Part 1

2011-07-03T20:39:00.000-06:00

My Childhood Home Fort Collins, COSome of you may have wondered where I've been for the past 15 days. I've been on a trip to Colorado Springs, CO for a family reunion! On the way there we stopped by Fort Collins-my childhood town. It was weird for me to see my childhood home, because I remember it, but it's not home. Home is where I live right now. It was kind of

What I Wear- Finally Back!

2011-07-02T12:02:00.000-06:00

Well, I'm finally back from my 10 day trip! I can't believe I haven't posted in 15 days. You can see what I was up to in Colorado tomorrow. I took about a billion photos, so it's taking forever to load! My closet is slightly ravaged after the trip-I have like three shirts hanging in my closet. This shirt I pulled out of my luggage, the only one I didn't wear. My bangs look awful in these pictures

What I Wear- Capurro Customs Shirt!

2011-06-11T09:59:00.000-06:00

Erin was nice enough to send me this fun shirt from her Etsy shop! It has tiny green beads on the shoulders. And surprisingly, fits me perfectly! I say surprising, because normally it's pretty hard to find shirts that aren't skin tight in the wrong places. The shirt is also reasonably priced-($9!) I'd appreciate if all of you would check out her shop-and perhaps buy something if you see something
