A Great Read!

I just got finished reading Why Modesty Scares Me over at The Modest Mom Blog and I have to say, ditto to everything! What a clear but brief clarification. 

Please take the time to scoot on over there and check it out. She hit the proverbial nail on the head!

Modesty Rebounding; Boing!

A couple weeks ago I was peeping at some of my favorite missionary wife blogs and read and interesting post over at Sarah Joy's blog. It's called Modesty Rebounding; Boing! It was so well written and timely that I asked if I could share it with you all. She sweetly agreed, so here it is. BTW, make sure you check out her blog, she has a great family and honestly the cutest little girls I've ever seen.

Modesty Rebound; Boing!

I'm amazed by how much confusion has been blowing around Christian circles in regards to modesty.   I've read lots of different articles posted to social media criticizing legalistic notions.  These posts have made me take a long look at my own traditions, and also at these trends in the community of believers who call themselves by the name of Christ.

I'm handicapped...when it comes to fashion

Hi, I'm Tori and I'm fashionably challenged.
But there is hope.
Have you found it? Have you? What am I talking about you ask, well Polyvore of course. I just stumbled upon it several years ago but didn't do anything with it but now, wow, now I totally see the worth of this cache of fashion greatness.
Like any other lady out there I like to look nice. I like to be well put together but honestly I'm a bit unenlightened when it comes to fashion. Now, any of you who really know me know that I'm serious about being modest. Modesty is important to me and it comes before fashion any day but If I can have them both then I'm all in.
So anyhow, there are tons of ideas on Polyvore. Hey I'm not awe-inspiring when it comes to combining stuff but I can shop from a photo.  Ü

Hey and it's a great tool for shopping your own closet. Like this outfit below, most of us have a khaki skirt and brown top, so we're already half way there.

Or like this cute little Sunday ensemble, I've got that skirt, So a little plum cardigan and ballet slippers and wallah.

Loving this gray sweater below. So many possibilities.

BTW, you can click on each of the above outfits and it'll take you directly to Polyvore and the account of the person who created it. You can follow that person and get a feed of all her creations, it's very addicting. I created my own user and this adorable little green outfit was my first okay only creation.

I created a Pinterest board for all my Polyvore goodies. When we get to the states in April I think I'm gonna use my phone and shop this photos.

Hey maybe you're a fashion simpleton like me but there's hope. Polyvore and a host of talented, modest fashionistas are there for us. We can do this!!


Oh yea and I'm linking up with Rebecca @ My Girlish Whims for Your Whims Wednesday.
