Better Than I Can
June 6, 2008
Since I haven’t been posting lately, I’ll give you some links to follow to blog posts of fashionistas who can do it better than I can:
Christa Taylor talks about the LWD “Little White Dress” which sounds so much more comfortable and cool in the summertime as opposed to a Little Black Dress. White is also easier to accessorize with; black, as it turns out, isn’t always easy to wear.
Angie talks about her Parisian experience and gives a great look and heads up as to where fashion trends are heading in France. Read about Parisian Store Fashion, Parisian Street Fashion, and last of all, about Parisian Shoe Fashion. I’ll talk about trends and true fashion very soon. I’ll try not too be too hypocritical since I am known to own a few trends myself. 
Lastly, browse some of the great dress selections at my latest, greatest find Shabby Apple. You can find dresses that make dressing simple. No more layering with cardigans, tugging at camisoles, or having to wear long slips to cover up is their promise with these dresses. Do be warned, their price range is pushing $$$ for this blog.
That’s all I have in me for right now! Come back in 20 years and I’ll have posted by then.

Hey! I love reading your blog…it is filled with great advice for young women who seek modesty!
I was reading the SacBee this morning, when I came across this article, and thought you would be interested in reading it.

I was admiring that LWD, myself.

Thanks Abi! I’m really glad that you find it useful, I’ll try to post more.
Yes, I was actually at that. That’s an experience I need to write about, but I don’t know if I’ll find time, so I’ll give you the short story.
I was invited to go by Christa Taylor (see above) who was one of the designers at the show when she found out that I lived in the area…. so I was able to go and be her assistant!
I enjoyed the Pure Fashion Show, and I’m thrilled that there is a group that is setting up high modesty standards for girls! It was fun seeing all the girls walk out wearing the various outfits collected various designers like Cookie Lee, Funky Frum, Gottschalks, Talbots, and Christa. Christa’s designs are very unique and special, too!
Modesty, though, really does have to flow from a heart change, you can be wearing all the right clothes but if you have a rotten attitude it’s going to show through, no matter what you are wearing. Clothes are important, but they don’t make the girl.
I would encourage you to buy it Ellen! I think supporting independent designers like Christa as much as you possibly can, instead of big companies like Target is important! If I had the money at the moment, I’d buy a LWD, too.

Hi Anna!
I just wanted you let you know that you inspired me to start a new blog over at waylonsage.wordpress.com. Thanks for letting me know about your site. I really have enjoyed reading!

I wish I could wear white… or at least wear white without looking DEAD! Some of us just weren’t born to be able to get by in that color (or lack of color). I need a LCD – a “little cream dress”. Now that I’ve pretty much figured out what colors I can and can’t wear because of my skin, eye, and hair colors, it makes looking for clothing easier and accessorizing is easier, too, because most everything I own matches now. (That’s because 60% of my clothing is chocolate brown!)

You’re right, Amber, you’d probably look best in cream if it was right against your face. But your white skirt looked VERY pretty last Sat. with the brown top; the trick to wearing white is to contrast it with another color, i.e. brown, orange, blue, green, or a patterned blouse on top.
A white top could also look very pretty with a necklace that stands out; wood beads or lots of pretty color.
If you can’t wear all white (I personally don’t know how I would look in it, since I don’t own a LWD, and don’t have to money to buy one right now) then pick up a white purse (which is more summer appropriate than black or brown, anyhow), a sheer white scarf, a belt, jewelry, shoes, or a bottom or top. White pants are VERY in right now.
