Summer and Spaghetti Straps are Here!

"Summer is here again – without a doubt, the most 'modestly challenged' season! When I was in the process of changing my style of dress and committing myself to dressing modestly, I was a bit anxious about how I was going to handle the summer. Wouldn't I simply boil if I didn't allow myself to walk around with bare shoulders anymore?"

Rag Curls

The other night I decided to try a hand at rag curling my hair. I'd never done it before, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out with my hair-that-hates-to-stay-curled. :) Well, I gelled it up and gave it a whirl, and this is how it turned out!

*Sigh*

It's fun to be a girl!

Quotes From REAL Ladies

"I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Woman's Rights', with all it's attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were women to 'unsex' themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of beings, and would surely perish without male protection." -England's Queen Victoria 1870

"Why do women want to dress like men when they're fortunate enough to be women? Why loose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I'm very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don't want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error..." -Tasha Tudor

"Home ought to be our clearing house, the place from which we go forth lessoned and disciplined, and ready for life. " -Kathleen Noris

"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." -Jane Austen

Shop Shop Shoppin'...Shoppin' at Ross!

I was at Ross today and found the best deal. A way cute (and modest!) skirt for only $3.00!!!! Boy was I surprised. Of course, I didn't actually know that it was that cheap until after putting it into the cart, trying it on, adding it to my "like it" pile and looking through my "like it" pile to see what I really do like - and if I wanted to pay the price. My mom's eye balls popped as she said "Seren! This skirt is only THREE DOLLARS!" Like I said, boy was I surprised. Here is a picture Mom snapped of me in it:

Cute huh?

Well, I got couple more skirts and a dress out of the trip, too. The dress is my favorite out of everything! Doesn't it look like I just stepped out of a 50's diner? I think I just need the heels. :) You can't see it very well in the picture, but I'm wearing a string of antique-looking pearls, which complements the outfit very nicely. :)

Sigh. It's so nice to find cute, modest clothes! What I really went to Ross for was shirts, but, well, let's just say I was a little disappointed in their selection. I am learning to sew, so there is hope!

Dressing Modestly in the Heat

I love this article by Mrs. Stanley Sherman that I found over at Ladies Against Feminism. It encouraged me in keeping to my dress standard, and not wavering from it, even in the summertime - the hardest time to do so! Check it out here.
