Modesty Matters - Links to Help You Shop Smart

     We feel your pain when it comes to finding modest clothes-especially during the summertime. So here a few hopefully helpful links to assist in your closet filling quest.

noVae Clothing -  We love this lady alone just for putting modest clothing in her web address and sticking to the claim in her merchandise. This site is the product of a stay-at-home-mom of four, who got fed up with the tiring search to find modest fashionable clothing. While some of it is pricey, keep in mind she makes these items herself, in limited quantity so you're buying a nearly one-of-a-kind item. Also be sure to sign up for the newsletter to be alerted of the great sales she offers. And I'm pretty sure if you spend much time on Pinterest you're going to recognize several of these pieces.

The Skirt Outlet - Not only will you find awesome denium and knit maxi skirts on this site (also seen in abundance on Pinterest)...you'll find modest shells/tank tops/sleeveless shirts! How many times have you purchased a spaghetti strap "shirt" or tank top to layer under an immodest top only to have it fall short as well?! Is that not the most frustrating feeling??? It is for me. That's why I love this type of tank top-you know you're covered. Another big plus about this company? Free exchange shipping! Who doesn't love that?! Now that I've had my say about this company listen to how they describe themselves:

The Skirt Outlet was founded from a desire to provide affordable, classic and comfortable long skirts for women and girls, without hours of shopping disappointments. We are committed to providing a real alternative to today's extreme fashions and yesterday's out-dated look.

Founded in 2008, The Skirt Outlet started out as a retail brick-and-mortar store in Eureka, Illinois. As word spread about the store, The Skirt Outlet began getting calls from out of state, requesting skirts to be shipped to them. This website was thus founded to meet the needs of those who were unable to make it to our store. However, we still welcome all customers to come and visit our retail store in Eureka!

ThredUp - Online consignment shops are huge right now, which is to your advantage...it means more affordable available clothing. ThredUp does a great job accepting and selling only gently used clothing-much of it looks just like new. Be sure to check out their stock and keep them in mind when you clean out your own closet.

Modesty Matters (New!)

If you've been in any department stores recently you know that finding modest clothing is challenging. Not only is it difficult to find modest pieces to wear, but often when you do manage to find the needle in a haystack, you can't afford it! In an effort to encourage one another in our pursuit of modesty while being good stewards of our money, we will be sharing our finds in this brand new fashion feature-Modesty Matters.

Secret Keeping - We have shared this article before, but we felt it was worth out time again. This fifteen (yes, fifteen) year old does an excellent job reminding us why modesty is so important. Be sure to check it out!

Virtue (video)  - You might be surprised to find out that most young men actually prefer girls who dress modestly. This particular group of guys got together and put a fun twist on sending that message out.

What I Wear - I recently stumbled across this blog and love the purpose behind it. This blogger posts pictures of her outfits along with where she found individual pieces. She describes her style as fashionably modest and I would agree. She does a great job inspiring others to piece their own modest outfits together on a budget.

These Aren't Pants! - While this link is actually a product review on a particular brand of leggings, this blogger does a great job of demonstrating how leggings are supposed to be worn. Leggings make a wonderful additional to your wardrobe, but they are not equal to pants. Please don't be one of those guilty of treating them as such.
