Skirts

If you know me, and have seen me recently, let's say the last 10 months or so...you most likely have seen me wearing a lot, if not mostly skirts.  It has been a conscious effort on my part...after much prayer and discussion with my husband...to wear skirts as an example of femininity and modesty to our children.  I have enjoyed it a lot, and even though I do not exclusively wear skirts, I wear work out clothes to go to the Y to exercise and ride bikes, I have recently enjoyed reading a series put together by The Modest Mom and Raising Arrows, called She Wears Skirts.  I struggled with how to stay warm this winter, and have really enjoyed the practical tips and info I have read.  Today, I am linking up with them to show just a few of the ways I like to wear skirts.  Some of my photos are old..it was hard to find photos of myself, but I hope you will take a look at the series and let me know what you think too!  Blessings to you,

 This picture is old, but I still wear both pieces..I really like the length of the denim skirt (my husband bought it for me and surprised me!)

 This is family photo from a couple of years ago...prior to Lydia's arrival...I often wear cardigans to cover bare shoulders or a lower neckline.

 This was our Christmas photo shoot December 2009...the black dress is actually a strapless, empire waste dress from Old Navy that I ALWAYS wear a sweater over.  It is very comfortable fabric and I wore it through my entire pregnancy with Lydia!

 I had to search high and low for a long dress that would work for a pregnant woman....they were just hard to find.  The dress above isn't actually maternity and I wore it for Easter and Aaron's Sister's Wedding while Pregnant with Lydia. I still wear it often...I love it! (the bottom one is while I was pregnant with Lydi...the top one is just after her birth)

 Even though you can't tell, the brown dress is a great length...mid-calf...and very comfortable...I'm almost done nursing, so I can wear it again soon!

The above dress was one I ordered for Easter this year...on the model in the magazine it was short and Aaron mentioned he thought it may be too short, but I am short--so it ended up fitting nicely!

Be Blessed!
