Featured Site: layersclothing.com

So, I've been dreaming for a while about a new swimsuit. I mean, I like mine fine, but it was bought out of absolute desperation: it was the only modest swimsuit I could find before my honeymoon. So, I had a little fun today browsing the collection at layersclothing.com and I found these three that are my absolute favorites, with the last one being my favorite favorite and the one I'd buy if I only had the money.




Of all the sites for modest clothing, I've found recently I liked the swimsuits at this site the best. It has a wide collection of cute, cute suits and, while not particularly cheap, they're no more expensive than comparable suits. So, if you're hunting for a cute swimsuit for the summer months, I'd recommend checking out the collection at layersclothing. And let me know if you find your favorite there.

Making a Shrug

Wearing shrugs is a great way to be fashionable, cute, and modest. The right shrug can be versatile, going with any outfit you might want to modestify. And what better way to find the right shrug than to make it yourself? Here's an awesome tutorial from threadbanger.com on how to make a shrug out of an old turtleneck and a serger. I imagine you could probably mess around with this concept a bit using a sewing machine as well.

The first part of the video is an interest piece, but hang on for the tutorial - it's not long in coming and it's really good.



Plus! Notice what a cute modest shirt our instructor is wearing! Hurrah for modesty!
