This or that? I'm confused!



Well everyone spring has sprung and with it comes some of my least favorite clothing items. The dreaded tube top, spaghetti strap tank and spaghetti halter top! Now matter how perfect your figure is, the tube top is completely unflattering as well as the other items. The stretchy fabric creates a sort of bulge all over especially where it cuts across the top of the chest. It also make your top look very wide.




With the tiny straps of the halter top and the spaghetti strap tank, it creates more broad figure...kind of a macho man look.

To me it's simply not feminine as well as pretty cheap looking. There is also no support. When looking for springy tops try for a tank with thicker straps for a more proportionate look and shirts with a more structured form.




Of course there are more structured sleeveless tops which are much more flattering as well and totally cute, but definitely need a sweater or tank underneath them. Here is a really cute top that would look darling with a simple cardigan!

Outfit number one!



Ok here is my day one outfit for the thrift store fashion week over at AmandaBeth's! These picture are absolutely horrible! Since I would prefer not to show my face it makes it much harder to get good pictures.

Ok the shirt is a hand-me-down and the brand is St. John's Bay. The shoes and shorts are not hand-me-downs but I did get them at discount. The necklace is one my great grandma has let me have and the handbag I made from old fabric my grandma gave me! Ok seriously this pic is so awful I can't believe I'm posting it!

T-shirt or Dress? I'm confused!


Hey everyone! While searching through spring dresses on various sites, I am disgusted and astonished at how revealing the junior's dresses are. While the styles are cute they are entirely to short and much too low in the neckline. Where they call them dresses they look more like shirts.

Actually, several if not most of the pictures themselves strike me as inappropriate for any age range in terms of modeling. I don't know about you but I am certainly not going to follow the media's worldly ideas of 'style'. I have chosen to honor God with the clothes I wear.


Unfortunately all the dresses I have found so far are all like these pictures.

I'm truly ashamed that the media is telling young women to dress so crudely. This image of looking like an immature party animal is truly sickening. Really the styles all look the same and appear cheap at times. What's wrong with dressing feminine, classy, elegant and above all modest? I'd rather have respect for myself and others by keeping myself covered. Why wouldn't you rather look genteel and refined than trashy and crude? Sadly most young people are drawn into the crowd because of peer pressure. Below are pictures of how I would prefer to dress.

This is so much more stylish. It also has character and designs that aren't the same pattern that every store carries. With pieces like this your able to make your own fashion statement but by creating a feminine image.

As I hope you all can see this is a topic I am very passionate about. After all I created this blog for the very purpose of encouraging young ones as well as adults to grow in their walk with God and stand strong in His word especially in the fashion world.


Most of all I hope to honor Him with what I post on this blog. Also sometimes first appearances do matter and I would rather have someone look at me and say, "There is something different about her." I want people to see me and notice how I am following something greater than the world. I am following the most marvelous, wonderful creator of the universe. My heavenly Father!!!!!

God Bless!
