Modest Fashion Challenge | Day 5: Midi Skirt

You know you're not a fashion blogger when you read the word "midi" and think "huh?" Honestly, thank you Google. I would've have made a fool of myself, well, more of myself if I would have worn a totally different style. Today's modest style challenge was (you guessed it) to wear a midi skirt.This Merona skirt is so flowy, seriously be careful on windy days. Like today. And yes, I may have flashed some family members and neighbors. However, the material is so lightweight and the pattern so pretty. It makes this crazy mama look stylish as she runs around with a tot haha

Modest Fashion Challenge; Day 4

Happy Independence Day beauties!

Today was super rainy and yucky but I still managed to get dressed AND get photos for the challenge (thanks babe!) The challenge was red, white or blue but what can I say...I thought of color block so that's what I did. I know, I'm such a rebel.

It's too bad the weather is awful. This day has not felt like the normal holiday at all but I still got to spend some special quality time with my husband and son. Actually, while my son napped, we spent time in the garage creating some new things! I married a very handyman and it pays off for sure. So be prepared for more tutorials and new shop items.

Enjoy your evening! If you live in an area that the weather is good and you're headed to the fireworks tonight, I'd love to see some. Tag me on Instagram @helloawesomeshop xoxo

Modest Fashion Challenge: Day 2 + 3

You guys, I did it!! Even though I didn't post yesterday (or technically get dressed but whatever) today I actually followed through and now here are Day 2 and Day 3 style challenges! If you recall, I'm participating in a July modest style challenge hosted by the lovely Chandra from Momomod. You can read about it here.

Day 2 was "Stripes" so I had to try something festive for July 4th. I love this red vintage cardigan with striped cuffs. The shirt is also matching stripes but can you believe it was purchased separate? Like not meant as a set? Crazy good. I also had to throw in my navy and white polka dot skirt and white bow heels. This was going to be my church outfit before the weather got scary and we stayed home. The tote is from our Rockport trip and even though the blue is off, it's stripes and it's gorgeous.

And Day 3 makes today, which is Thrifted Thursday! Which is awesome since 95.5% of my wardrobe is thrifted. I absolutely love this floral flowy skirt I bought a few months ago. It actually is handmade (you can totally tell by the stitching and cut) but it fits me so good. I threw on top a white vintage sheer cotton dress with lace detail, kelly green tee and a classic black cardigan with a detailed edge. My heavily used black flats are the only thing not thrifted.

A few things learned from this challenge already:
#1 I really hate "posing" for pictures.
#2 I'm ridiculously awkward at anything graceful, like "posing" for pictures
#3 I desperately need new clothes. Here I come Savers! Well, in September when they have their 50% off clothing Labor Day sale.

From now on, I'm going to do my best to post every day like a good lil' blogger.

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, wow! We have yet to figure out what we'll be doing to celebrate. What have you planned for the weekend?

Modest Fashion Challenge | Day 1: Favorite Skirt

Welp! Here I go trying another 30 day challenge. What am I thinking, right? We all know I flunked the 30-day Remix challenge, the Art is Life challenge (which I WILL finish one day) and Breaking the Chains 30-day devotional series. Well, at least that last one I finished off-line and turned it to an uplifting ebook! That counts, right?

When I heard that fellow Apostolic blogger Chandra was having a modest style challenge, I knew I had to try! Being a work-at-home mama makes it easy to chill in pjs all day. My clothing style has really suffered and I've been thinking about reviving it lately. It's easy to get away from taking care of yourself. So for the month of July, I'll be actually styling an outfit and getting dressed every day ! Not to mention sharing it here and on Instagram.

This first post seems so boring but hey I'm NOT a fashion blogger! I just dream of being one. My favorite skirt right now is this Oscar de la Renta dark demin jean skirt. The length is perfect for me and the jean isn't too stiff. It can be dressed up or down, a huge plus for this momma. I did have to customize the side seams to fit my body type but overall it's the perfect jean skirt in the history of ever!

To be honest, I wasn't going to do this challenge but then I remembered what I wrote in the last letter to David. Doing this modest fashion challenge in July is the perfect way to be an example to my son about the beauty of holiness when it comes to clothing.

Come join me!! I've teamed up with my good friend Sarah from Hazel and Bean to do this challenge together. So if you are feeling unsure about participating, grab a friend and have some fun! Follow our daily style challenges on Instagram using hashtag #modestinjuly
