Great Ideas for Summer Clothing
Posted by: Denelle
Since today is the first official day of summer I thought I'd discuss a topic that is close to the heart of women everywhere - shopping. With temperatures reaching into the high 80s here and the 90s elsewhere around the country (and let us not forget into the triple digits in the southwest) the amount of clothing people are wearing is significantly decreasing. However, some of us don't have the option of taking off our clothes in an effort to stay cool or rather we don't believe its the right option. And yet why should we sacrifice style/comfort for our convictions? There are plenty of ways to keep cool but keep your clothes on without ever having to leave the comfort of your airconditioned home.
Girls of Class is an on-line store which caters to young women who are looking for stylish yet modest clothing. Their selection of products include lots of lightweight flow-y skirts and even t-shirts that are perfect for the hot temperatures ahead.
Shade Clothing (also an on-line store) specializes in t-shirts/camisoles/tank tops that are higher cut in the neck and longer in the waist so that they are more modest. These items are perfect for layering. They have a great selection of colors and styles and also carry items for younger girls.
Other great options include:
Kate's Closet - original designs in both tops and skirts
On The Hip - more t-shirts/camis/etc but they also have hoodies
Wholesome Wear - offers a line of modest swimwear - I can only pray this will catch on and I'll no longer have to see women/girls swimming in a jean skirt
Tinuviel Designs - an interesting site that offers custom made clothing (for decent prices) for women (turn two pairs of old jeans into a jean skirt), a lot of her stuff is made from vintage patterns and gorgeous
Many of these sites are affiliated with the LDS or Orthodox Jewish community. The LDS sites also have great options for wedding dresses if any of you are planning a wedding. Just google "modest wedding dresses".
Good luck and stay cool!
Oh, and if you have any other suggestions or sites you'd like to see me post feel free to pass them along! Thanks!
