What I Wear-How To Wear Shorts Modestly

Im sure you clicked and were like "What?! Shorts?! Aren't those immodest?" My answer would be-no. There are certain items the modest community dismiss straight away, no questions asked. 

I don't wear skirts very far above my knee. My reasoning is that if I bend over, a skirt is going to show a lot more than I'm going to be okay with. Shorts are a different story, I have to feel comfortable in them, I can't be constantly tugging them down. About two-three inches below my finger tips (with arms at my sides) is as short as I would ever go. Some people won't agree with me, some women don't believe pants are okay. 

I hope that everyone feels safe here, that no one has to feel like they have to dress a certain way (except what The Lord personally leads you to). Dressing for other people, letting others tell you what is and isn't modest, nope-not the answer. If you don't own your convictions, you'll easily drop them. 

Being swayed too easily will cause you to be tossed about, decide what modest is to you-and own it! 

Do you wear shorts? Why or why not?

What I Wear-Embracing Simplicity

My last post I talked about "Dressing Your Truth." 

It's pretty neat, one of the keywords that describe type 4 is simple. That's so me! I used to feel bad about not wearing more jewelry, now I know if I think it's too much, it probably is.

It's cut my getting dressed time in half, seriously! Why? I think because all my items thus far go together. I pretty much I put an outfit on, jewelry, maybe some makeup and go.

It's given me an excuse to purge my closet. Painful as it was, I needed to do it. I went through my clothes and pulled anything out I haven't worn in a while, or never wore. I also donated a bunch of my jewelry that just wasn't "me." 

When was the last time you purged your closet?

What I Wear-In Love With eShakti!

This beautiful dress was given to me by eShakti for my honest review. I can 100% say this dress (you can buy it HERE) is the best dress evah! Usually with white dresses (or shirts, etc.) the fabric is so thin I have to wear something under it. With this dress? Nope. It's thick enough to wear by itself with nothing showing through, yet not so heavy it's too warm. This dress will be perfect heading into Summer.

Why buy from eShakti? They have beautiful, high quality clothes, yes. But they also cater to the modest fashion conscious. With this dress, I was able to indicate that I wanted knee length, I chose the sweetheart neckline and the sleeves are also customizable (I stuck with what they had on the stock photo). The best part of this dress? Two awesome deep pockets for a cell phone and keys (sadly lacking in other dresses/skirts). 

The dresses are pretty expensive, but they have this awesome deal going that you can get a $40 gift card if you've never shopped with them before. On top of that, they have a sale going on for up to
50% off! 

Hypothetically you could get a beautiful dress for under $20 plus shipping (and you get free customization of your first order!) like one of these:

Floral Dress $59.95-$40GC= $19.95   Yellow dress $44.95-$40GC=$4.95 

Denim flare skirt $59.95-$40GC=$19.95      Dress $47.95-$40GC=$7.95

you're welcome for tempting you with these beauties! I should mention the sale is only for another day, so don't procrastinate! 

Have you ever shopped with eShakti before?

What I Wear- Summer Turquoise

Hey everyone! I tried very hard to make a decent outfit today-you better appreciate it! From now on I'm going to try to be more creative with my outfits, but it's hard! Summer rolls around and you can't add that special 'pop' of color with a cardigan anymore. It's pretty chilly today (no snow though!) so I was able to add my leather jacket. I think my new strategy will be to use jewelry! That always helps, I'm just too lazy most of the time to wear any. I even forgot my purity ring today!

Please forgive the photos, I'm really not going for an 80's look! The wind whipped up and made my bangs and hair look odd.

I picked up this belt (and another) on my birthday. They were $9 each, which isn't bad. But I sort of splurged. But I did need a new one, my last one literally fell apart! I'm not joking, I woke up and found it lying on the floor, it's sad little leather strap broken.

I'm wearing:

Black leather jacket Wal Mart ($5) Floral tank top Wal Mart ($1) Turquoise maxi dress Ross($15)

What I Wear- Summer Again!

Well, good news! It's Summer again! Hey, I live in Montana-roll with the punches ladies! It was snowing yesterday, it was 65 degrees today-do you have a problem with that? (joking by the way!) I'm super excited, it's supposed to be 70 degrees on my birthday! Who says Friday the 13th is bad luck? I'm planning shopping in a near by town, and driving! Yes, I'm a party animal! What can I say?! I'm hoping The Buffalo Exchange is still open, it wasn't listed on their website. Instead of hitting the malls, I'll be perusing the isles of the thrift shops.  

This is my "rule breaking Monday" outfit on Wednesday! I paired two scarfs, very proud of myself!

What I Wear-Cheery Summer Attire

Hey readers! I realized a few days ago, that I haven't posted an outfit in quite awhile! So here is my outfit today!

I actually have quite a few things to update all of you on! I got my Learner's License! Scary! : ) The first time my little sister came in the car while I was driving, she came out with her bike helmet on and said "I'm ready to go!" LOL! Siblings.....*shakes head*

I'd really appreciate prayer this next week, I will be going to the dentist to have my wisdom teeth out. The dentist that is pulling my teeth is the kind who tells you everything that could happen. So I'm a little freaked out...

The DownPour Festival starts next Friday! So excited and ready for a mini vacation.

I saw this dress in JcPenney's and fell in love with it! I was surprised at how long it was, plus the arm holes are decent without a shirt. I still feel odd without sleeves, so I paired today's outfit with a low cut tee shirt. I find its very rare to be able to buy long-ish dresses at retail stores! Most are above the knee, or shorter. At the knee is as short as my skirts get, and even then its a bit short.

What I Wear- Sparkle, Sparkle Shine!

Hey everyone! So today's title might seem odd, but it's what came to mind when I put the pictures up! So thus, it is deemed the "Sparkle, Sparkle, Shine!" Outfit! (Yes, we all know I'm weird, there is no reason to say it!) I feel oddly awkward in sleeveless shirt, even though I don't believe they are actually "im-modest" per-say.  I just feel bare for some reason... hmmm. Today's weather is absolutely gorgeous! A light breeze, and sun! Perfect! I'm having a very hard time posing, so this is what you get! Seriously, I'm totally obsessed with this white skirt! It fits perfectly, and its a functional color!

Who's excited about the fashion show?! ME! ME!

What I Wear- Thrifty and Chic! Modest fashion show- Day 3

Hey everyone! So we (my mom, sister and I) really worked hard today trying to get some "fashion shoot" photos, worthy for your eyes to see! I think some of them came out really good! Or at least better than normal! I want to make it a goal to take better photos. Lately I've been hating my pictures, I don't know if its because of my clothes that day, or what, but no more! I did find out that I need to just relax and have fun! Which helps when you have a crazy sister! She tried to show me up in every photo with her "posing ability's" too funny...

For this fashion post, my lovely sister is joining me! With her amazing ability's in front of the camera, who can ignore her? LOL! We will keep working on our photos, let me know if you have any ideas for posing, or hints and tips. They would be greatly appreciated!

The weather was gorgeous today (its starting to be a bit cloudy right now) But its supposed to be 70's the rest of the week! Which is awesome! I love being outside, and indoor photos are not my specialty!

I really appreciate the response I've been getting about the fashion show, and everything else! Maybe people are listening after all....

Don't forget to tell all your friends (this includes family, and online friends!) about the fashion show, and get them to join!
