Finding Beauty in Simple Fashion

Have you ever watched the show, "What Not to Wear" produced by TLC? Well, I kinda like that show, and I kinda don't. For me, it's given me some good ideas on how not to dress, in several different ways. And it's also given me some ideas on how to dress "simply fashionable."

I like clothes. What woman/girl doesn't?  When I go walking at the mall, I'm always looking at clothes and imagining how to make them modest, or whatnot.  These days, it seems that most women's clothing are made tightly, or with low necklines, or both! 

Personally, I have a hard time finding blouses/t-shirts that fit, because I'm small shouldered, but big chested (thanks to having 2 beautiful babies! LOL)  I'm sure I'm not the only mama out there that has a hard time finding clothes that don't look completely baggy, yet still fit modestly. So I've started challenging myself to find things that have like a draw string, or waist band that is kinda high up, so it tucks right under the breast line, and flairs out many inches above the waist.  That's my other problem; I have a smaller waist, but huge hips, (again, thanks to the babies). It's  hard to "fit" in clothes and not look like I'm wearing a tent!

It's a challenge!!!  Oh, but I love a challenge. The competitive part of me comes out when it comes to things like this. :)

For some reason, I have a hard time finding high necked t-shirts or non-collared shirts in malls or clothing outlets. I like finding those t-shirty like shirts to wear under sleeveless outfits.  So last time I went thrift shopping (by the way, thrift shopping can be a LOT of fun, and you can find wonderful deals...) I found a ton of higher necked shirts! So if you're like me and like high necked shirts, take a trip to your local thrift shops and take a look around. A lot of them have mailing lists too, so you can get updates on when their sales go on.

I found a picture (again) on Google that gives an idea of some beautiful, stylish clothing. Thought I'd share it! :)
