of flowers and robins-egg-blue: Modest Fashion Week day 6




The last day of Modest Fashion Week is here at last - sadness. :(
This contest was just *wonderful.* Every new outfit combo I dug from my wardrobe (and my sisters ;) ) brought new joy - modesty can indeed be creatively lady-like and fun.

When people ask me why I wear skirts I answer honestly; I do not wish to offend my brothers in Christ, etc, etc (I could venture much deeper into this subject but I'll hold back for now. ;) )
However! When you get down the the core of it, I love looking feminine and feeling pretty. That's one of the main reasons I wear skirts. This isn't saying that I judge ladies that choose to wear pants. I personally don't believe in it, yet at the same time (even if I did) I wouldn't want too. ;) hehe

Anyhow. I so enjoyed meeting all the lovely young women who participated! Each of you truly made this contest *wonderful.*

*A little note on today's photo shoot*
It was miserably hot this afternoon - so Anna and I both decided to wear sweaters! Of course, all normal people decide to wear heavy sweaters on sweltering June days, right?
Right! :P
...and that's why I look...well..SO hot
(and no, that isn't in a flattering sense. ;) )

An Evening Out - Modest Fashion Week day 5


{Modest Fashion Week day 5}

Today I decided to wear something a bit more dressy. I had pianos (my passion) and musicals dancing through my brain (I'll be seeing the Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof this Sunday)
...and so
...I got a bit fancied up.

There is a simply beautiful area surrounding a restaurant in a nearby town that overlooks an apple orchard. The perfect place to sit and relax, just soaking up all of God's creation. Or in my case this evening - the perfect place for picture taking. ;)
