The Power of Modesty

I enjoyed this blog post from Jew in the City so much and I identify with it strongly. I had such a similar experience, I was the girl wearing bikinis and short shorts because I could pull it off and I thought it made me feel good but just like Jew in the City I also felt violated when someone would check me out or say something without any desire to know me as a person. This is a great read.

This installation was a video projection of a book, there was music and animation/stop motion on the book. pic.twitter.com/5KsNaNMZys

This piece was really cool, a light on a mirror with cement walls and when you look down it appears never ending! pic.twitter.com/94BFTmi3Ot

This one is interesting, its cool to look at, not sure if it symbolizes something in particular. pic.twitter.com/tQ8zJMiI9l

Process of picking an outfit: 2, choose your outfit and look at it from a distance, maybe even take photos of it to make sure you like how the colors compliment each other. This outfit will be great for a wedding because there isn't white in the clothing and it is modest and stylist! 😘 #beauty #blogger #modest #weddingattire #Fashion

Process of picking an outfit: 3, accessories! I love accessories, they add a lot of depth and creativity to an outfit. I chose this vintage beaded shell purse that I found at a thrift store because it has some beautiful colors that tie into the outfit. 😃 #Fashion #weddingattire #modest #blogger #beauty

Process of picking an outfit: 4, jewelry part of accessorizing! 💍 I chose faux pearl earrings that have fluff on the back! Faux pearl necklaces and a ring with an aqua colored stone to match my skirt and purse! ☺️ #beauty #blogger #modest #weddingattire #Fashion

Process of picking an outfit: 5, shoes! Yes they are white but I think white in small amounts is okay to wear to a wedding ☺️ I chose some medium-height heals to dress up the look! #Fashion #weddingattire #modest #blogger #beauty

Season Transitions: Spring to Fall to Winter

Photography by Delane Ashley

I like this dress because it is simple yet elegant. I've worn this dress to class and to more fancy events as well. It can be dressed up with some jewelry or dressed down with a jean jack and sandals. I would wear this dress in fall and winter because the sleeves are 3/4 length and the dress is long. It is Calvin Klein Brand. www.calvinklein.com

I like this outfit because I chose a black shirt to go with an off white flowy skirt because at the time it was warm but starting to become fall. Dark colors with staple spring pieces can offer a transition into the seasons. The skirt and shirt are both from Ross http://www.rossstores.com

Cozy Chic

These outfits are perfect for the current Gainesville weather when its about 70 degrees. The grey knit sweater isn't quite long sleeves but it can be used over long sleeve shirts or other sweaters because the sleeves are so lose. Purchased form: JCPenny, Brand: A.n.a 

The purple sweater with adorable faux pearl beads is also great for this weather and if you want to add a pop of color to the typical winter shades of clothing. Purchased from: Forever21

Both tops are modest, chic and cozy. I would pair either of them with a black skirt and combat boots.
