floral skirt

today's outfit was fun. I experimented with a skirt I got at a thrift store a few months back. most of my finds at thrift stores are bought because of this mentality that runs through my head: "IT'S LONG ENOUGH. BUY IT." --literally I kid you not, it happens soo often.

it's always interesting finding certain items of clothes at thrift stores, and sometimes they just make you cringe. I compeltely admit, this skirt is a bit 'old lady-ish', BUT it's long enough and I decided to make it work..I don't think it looks too awful. haha so I'm rollin' with it. ;p

shirt: H&M
belt: Target
skirt: thrift store (brand: Fundamental Things)
shoes: Target

it's really not that bad, is it? haha oh well! it's modest, and that's what counts for me. the different colors on the skirt allowed me some room to play with different colored tops--but I liked the dark blue the most!

I liked tying in the leather shoes and belt with this color scheme, and the floral look to it. it makes it a bit more fun!

earrings: Forever 21
necklace: Young Women Medallion
watch(pictured above): Etsy

I tend to love big accessories. I wore these huge earrings today and wanted to wear a statement necklace too, but that was waay too much going on! I usually keep to a simple necklace and some big earrings, or a statement necklace and some small earrings. it keeps things mellowed out and not too intense! haha

so I have the privilege of teaching a workshop for our Stake's Girls Camp this year! it's on how to dress your body type, and modesty. I was so excited to hear that I got to talk on these two things! I can't wait to share somethings I've gathered from it on my blog..so stay tuned!

but one quick thing I found the other day that I want to share.. "Modesty is more than a fashion statement, it's a daily decision to dress like the child of God you are." I just about died when I hear this. yes yes yes yes yes. being modest is so so much more than trying to help the boys keep clean thoughts, simply preparing for future temple ordinances because it's required, or because your parents are making you. it's showing your Father in Heaven that you respect and revere Him for giving you this life, and this glorious body. our bodies are temples, and are not to be flaunted like society can portray almost all of the time. be modest. not just for the boys, future requirements, or because you're being forced to. be modest to show your love for Christ and all He has gone through to get you where you are today. hope you all had a wonderful Sunday!

love, megs. :)
