the weather is so delightful

i like modesty. i like what it represents; a person who is comfortable with themselves that they don't have to show everything. it's the way i choose to dress because of my religious beliefs. growing up and even now, it hasn't always my favorite thing because it is a more difficult way of dressing and trying to be fashionable. and being modest means that during the summertime, i am hot because i am more covered. but the benefits far outweigh the difficulties of modesty. knowing i am doing the best thing for me is the most rewarding part. trying to find shirts, skirts and shorts that are long enough, or shirts and blouses with sleeves and aren't too low cut has become my personal goal in life. i refuse to dress like a pioneer. modesty doesn't mean frumpy. modesty is anything you want it to be. embracing modesty means you can be fashionable, accessible and youthful.


due to alabama's crushingly delightful win over florida, i had to show my loyalty today while i was watching general conference.

but i guess my most important reason for recording my modest outfits and trying to promote modesty in any way that i can is because i've got a little girl mimicking me all day long. and i want her to mimic me for good. and i love her to bits and i want to be a better woman because of her. and if i ever see an exposed thong on her, i will slap her silly and lock her in her room until age 40.
