Homecoming

                                       
It was a fun, fun night! It was also almost a month ago, but here is what I wore!! I didn't wear my hair like this though. Haha:) Anyways, I looked for a dress forever!! All the dresses I saw were too short or too tight or too boring. I finally bought my dress at the thrift store. Score! 

Dress: Thrifted

Shoes: American Eagle/Payless

Necklace: Forever 21

Bracelet: H&M

  

I had an absolute blast! I felt pretty, confident, & covered in my dress. I stood out a tad in my bright, to the knee dress from my friends. But I got so many genuine compliments from people who really liked my dress that was a little bit different!

Different is good. Be unique. Stand out from the world. Have fun.

Peace Out

Dress: Local secondhand boutique

Shoes: Payless

Clutch: My mom made it

Necklace: My mom's (formerly my aunt's)

Ring: Also my mom's

 

This dress was a great find. It was a big surprise too. It was a little store nearby that I hadn't noticed before but I saw a dress in the window that looked promising so I went in. It paid off!

 

The clutch provided a nice pop of color. This makes an outfit more interesting.

Other ways you could add color include, but are not limited to: shoes, ring, earrings, hair clip (like a big flower or something), necklace or bracelet.

It is easy to do with a plain colored or a black and white outfit, like this. Pick a complementary color and incorporate it throughout your outfit!

 

There are two more points I want to touch on.

First, Target has a bunch of cute, modest skirts right now so check it out!

Second is a fashion trend I've noticed recently. I've noticed that some girls wear leggings to replace pants. I know this can be a controversial topic because it wouldn't be something one would necessarily think of as immodest to begin with but do not to do it. It hugs your body in ways that it shouldn't and I think it is just awkward for everyone around you who looks at that. This is just my opinion. By no means am I saying that leggings are evil either. They can be used to make an outfit modest in some cases. I just wanted to stress that they shouldn't replace pants.

 

Have a splendid day!

Goodbye Summer!

 

 

I realized that I have the outfit laid out with different shoes than I wore for the pictures. Oops :) Either one works though. Here are the one's I wore.

Sweater: H&M

Dark blue tank top: Walmart (you can pretty much find those anywhere)

Dark blue tank top with white flowers: The Closet (it's an actual store)

Jeans: Walmart

Belt: Aeropostale

Necklace: Claire's

Flip-flops: Payless

 

Also, here is what I did with my hair. I like fishtail braids but they never stay so I did a partial fishtail leading into a side ponytail.

 

 

This outfit is perfect for those days when it is pleasantly cold, not too hot or too cold. I am so glad summer is over and we don't have that terrible heat. The tank top with the white flowers on it was see through so I made it modest by wearing another tank top underneath. I also like to tuck in a lot of my shirts and wear a thick belt.

 

I absolutely love this song! It is so beautiful and poetic.

I have to admit, the video is a little odd.

FALL HAS ARRIVED

Sweater: Old Navy

Pea-Coat: DELiA*S(THRIFTED THOUGH)

Scarf: Target

Jeans: Fashion Time

Shoes: Toms(Nordstrom)

Shoulder Bag: Mom's from the 80's!:)

Since it was a very windy and chilly day, I decided to bust out the scarf and coat. I paried this outfit with bright red lipstick and a ballerina(sock)bun. Underneath the bun I placed a simple forest green bow. Also, always feel good about paring a pea coat with a scarf. Together it creates the perfect winter look. :)

THANKS!!! ENJOY THE MUSIC!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

Something Simple

I must apologize in advance for the less then desirable quality of my pictures! I forget to take them until its too dark outside due to day light savings!!! Any ways here I go...

Ah! The bad quality kills me inside.

Shirt: Forever 21

Pants: H&M

Belt: Target

Shoes: Thrifted!!!!

Here's all the parts laid out. This was a super simple out fit; blue button up and black skinnies, but I tried to make it a little less boring. 

Here's some tips to dress up an otherwise plain outfit.

1. Tuck your shirt in. 

You may think this looks a little nerdy but you don't have to tuck in the WHOLE shirt, maybe just the front to show off your belt.

2. Roll up your pants.

Just roll them up 2 or 3 times for a long capri look or roll up your regular jeans till they look more skinny.

3. Fancy shoes.

I LOVE my new, thrift store/vintage, shoes!!! They did not come with laces so I laced them up with ribbons. :) They are a wonderful nude color so basically they go with anything. Any cute or colorful shoes dress up an outfit.

4. Jewelry.

A cute necklace or bracelet would have made this outfit! Accessories are always fun!

Okay Guys!! I have an offer, if you want to show off your cute outfit on our blog email us at ldscoveredgirls@gmail.com! Send with it where you got each item and anything else you want to put!  Lets get some other girls with cute, modest fashion on here!!! :D

Have a great weekend!!

DIY (do it yourself)

 

 

(Sorry about this being sideways. It wouldn't let me turn it for some reason)

 

Shirt: H&M

Pencil Skirt: My mom made it!

Nylons: Khols

Shoes: Payless

 

 

Sometimes it is too hard to find certain articles of clothing that are modest. What's the solution? Make it! My mom made this pencil skirt using a pattern found in the book Little Green Dresses by Tina Sparkles (pretty great name, huh?). We had to modify the pattern a little (she made it longer and changed the waistband a bit). One thing you have to understand is that my mom doesn't often make clothes so this doesn't require magnificent sewing skills. You don't have to be a master seamstress to make some of your own clothes or even alter them a bit (post on that to come soon).
