A hand-sewn alteration

Hello again! Today I have another skirt project to share with you. Here we have the skirt I altered. (Unfortunately, I forgot to take a “before” picture until I had already cut the skirt and started to gather the top. You can still see what the skirt previously looked like, I hope, in the one I did take.) I’ve done…

Lime + New Shoes

Hello again! It’s Modest Monday. Let’s get started. 🙂 I wore this casual outfit a few weeks ago, right around when it started feeling like Summer. You know, 90 degree weather and all that. Not my favorite. However, I do like taking out the Spring/Summer clothes that haven’t been worn since last year. (Oh, and Summer is also the time…

Moss Green + Turquoise

Hello! It’s Modest Monday once more. Today I’ll be sharing a casual outfit. I wore this a few weeks ago, and though you can’t tell in the photos, it was way too cold to be wearing short sleeves and no jacket. But, the flowers made such a nice background, I was okay with freezing for a little while. 😉 For…

Pink Paisley and Curly Braids

Hello again! How are you this Monday? I wore this outfit to church a few weeks ago. It was Mother’s Day, so I thought I’d dress up a little more and wear one of the fancier dresses I have. Of course, I might have failed in that respect when I put a denim jacket over the dress… Moving on! I…

A Few Odds-n-Ends

Hello! Today I’ll be sharing the various steps I took to repair a few pieces of well-used clothing. The subjects? The above three shirts and tank-top. Please excuse the very wrinkled button-down on the far left… Anyway, these shirts have been sitting in my sewing pile, waiting patiently to be fixed. None of them were beyond repair, but instead were…

Dark Plum + Sandals

Hello. How is your Monday going so far? This is an outfit I wore to church a few Sundays ago. I have to admit,I wasn’t feeling very inspired that Saturday night when I was trying to find an outfit to wear for the next day. I felt like nothing in my closet fit me, or matched anything else in my…

Denim and Pearls?

Hi! Are you ready for another Modest Monday post? Today we’ll be looking into an unlikely combination: denim and pearls. What do you think? For myself, I think that it works. The black shirt gives the outfit a little elegance, complimenting the pearls, and the roundness of the necklace matches the polka dots. I wore this outfit to church just…

Headbands and Maxis

Hello! It’s Monday. You know what that means! This outfit was worn a few weeks ago. Each piece that I incorporated into it kind of influenced the next one that I chose. For example, the flow-y skirt and fun print seemed to call for a scarf like the one I wrapped around my head. And the shirt is one of…

The First Look

Hello, how are you on this fine Modest Monday? I wore this outfit to church yesterday. As you can see, I finished the skirt I was working on! It turned out really well, and though I might shorten the hemline a teeny bit (it looks a bit awkward as it is if I wore flats) I’m really happy with it!…

Silver, Blue, and Black

Hello again! I hope you’ve had a good Monday so far! Here I’m sharing a simple spring outfit I wore a few weeks ago. It’s an easy combination of comfy staple pieces, but I think that the different elements of matching shoes and and jewelry make it a little more interesting than the shirt and skirt would be alone. I’ve…
