Royal Coral w/ Boots

So last week Patrick and I went to a museum not too far from where we live....we had a great time! You can read about our trip here. 

I wanted to wear something comfortable but dressy.....and this outfit was perfect. It needed to have lots of layers so I could be ready for this fall weather....cold in the evening...cooler outside and warm in the museum.

The necklace and earings are a set and I only payed 2€ for them. The scarf was an added fun. ☺

Polkadot & Lace

I haven't blogged in forever! And when I saw that Bramblewood Fashion was holding a Autumn Trend Event I decided to join and "play dress-up" on Saturday and come up with a few different fall outfits. 

The one above does not have any typical fall colors but I can make my favorite colors work any time of the year. ☺ I love how the barret, scarf, lace cardigan and brown boots give this red, white and blue outfit a fun fall feel. Agree?

My fashion Tip for today is: Wear any color you want but use fall related items to be ready for the autumn weather!

What I Wore in Paris // Day 1

Bonjour!

I finally have time to share with you my outfits from our Anniversary trip to Paris! On the first day I wore this polka dot dress. 

It was perfect for the occasion....comfortable but dressy for the city of love.

I wasn't wearing any layers which made my first day in Paris a very cold one....not only was it windy but very rainy in the afternoon!

By the way....windy and a full circle skirt isn't a great combination. The wind was actually the least of my troubles but the air vents from the metro caused my to have a Marilyn Monroe moment.....Too late I saw the vent...tried to quickly walk around as I held down the front of my dress....the air blew out the side of the big vent and....up went my dress in the back exposing everything....hahahaha....I was SOOOO embarressed! The people that saw it laughed/smiled.....what else can you do!

Did something like that happen to you before!?

Denim Plaid & Summer

I was so excited when my T-shirt I bought matched the red color in the hand-me-down sleeveless shirt! This isn't really a cool summer outfit....but for one of those less hot summer days this outfit is dressy casual.
The demin with the open shirt make it casual...the dark denim with the collared shirt dress it up.

Do wear this kind of style....with an open collared shirt? It's not everyone's "thang".

Independance Day Inspiration // C Fam Sisters

I've been enjoying the fashion inspiration these sisters have been sharing. I do not know them or their music but they have a great modest but fashionable style. When I saw their Independace Day outfits I knew I had to share their blog with you! From the 4 sister's outfits the one above is what I could see myself wearing!

What do you think?

 

Pastel Stones

Got my pictures doneat the church building this time. I was looking at a challenge to get an idea what to wear and it was "solids" and this what I put together. The necklace I got a little while back for only around $5.....hard to find here in Germany. And the purse you see above one of my favorites. 

Did you write your questions for the Q&A video yet?

Summerfield

I wore this dress on Sunday and love it. I bought it from a thrift shop last week. I am always looking for dresses and was SUPER happy when I came across this one. It was a little too short for my liking....but this was easily fixed with a slip. 

When I was thinking of a name for the post I thought of "Summer field". 

What would you call this dress?

And by the way...I want to collect some QUESTIONS for my Q&A video I am planning on doing.

What to Wear With:

So I bought this skirt at target almost a year. It was my very first maxi skirt and is SUPER comfortable. Both colors in the skirt are colors I wear often. But I had a problem.

You see, I am extremly matchy-matchy which gives lots of compliments on how my outfits always "go together so well". But you see....the turquoise in the skirt is more greenish limiting the shirts I can actually wear. And the blue is so weird...almost purply looking with a normal navy.

What other colors can I wear with it?

I asked that exact question to a modest fashion group I'm in and this is what they said:

Coral, yellow, hot pink, purple, white, black and silver.

Do you have any suggestions and would you wear it with a bold color?

    

Polka Meet Green

I wore this super comfortable outfit last Thursday. It's my longest day at school and in the last hour I sit with the kids on the floor and work with them on their reading. The skirt was perfect for that. CHECK.

Later in the day I was going to a teen birthday party and I knew I would be eating too much and staying super late so my skirt needed to be stretchy, flexible and comfortable. CHECK.

And of course....super important to me....I wanted to look feminine and fashionable. I think this outfit does well. CHECK.

The simple Tee looks a little dressier with the necklace. And let's talk about this comfy belt....leather in the front and stretchy rubber in the back.

I wanted to wear something other than red and white with my navy polkadot skirt. I looked around on pinterest and love how this light green shirt looked so great!

Do you have an outfit that is adorable but SUPER comfortable?

Yellow Pencil

Remember this skirt. Also one of my recent finds. It was 5 sizes to big. That was eaily fixed with a sewing machine. With the zipper in the back and not pockets all I had to do is sew down the sides....and viola....a new pencil Skirt. I felt so "teachery" and girly wearing this outfit.

The combo with the navy polka dot blouse was pinterest inspired....I really liked it...and you?

Do you like pencil skirts?

A Little Bird Told Me

So I got a gift card to SIX for Easter and finally had time to do a little shopping. The were having a special deal where you buy 2 for 3 things....perfect! When I saw this blue, white, red scarf with birds on it it could not have screamed any louder! Those are my favorite colors....and birds....well I love birds.

The rest of the outfit was made to match the scarf....yeah....I pick out my outfits to match my accessories sometimes.

Do you do that?

Doting Jacket

Wore this fun outfit yesterday. You will recognize the polka dot jacket from my finds. I really wanted to wear it and  came up with this outfit. I made the outfit pop with the peach T-shirt and I totally love the lacy flower that matches perfectly. It makes this more casual outfit more dressy.

What do you think?

Pink Linen

I wore this outfit yesterday. I sooo wanted to wear something from my new things.And this pink linen skirt is pretty much the only thing that already fits. It also is a little to big but comfortable and makes the skirt longer.

I love bright pinks and reds with navy blue. So that is what I did. I wore a navy striped Tee. I got it at walmart almost 4 years ago and still love it's casual feminine style. Since it is still a bit chilly in the morning and evening I wore this navy sweater and brought the hot pink up to my face with a pink felt rose.

While working on the photos I noticed that my necklace clasp was in the front....oh well....my hubby didn't see while taking these pictures of my.

And...if you're wondering where I am taking these pictures. It's at my church's new building. It's being renovated my Pastor's office being the farthest along with it's freshly painted walls. And since the whole front of the building has huge windows it is very bright and cheery....perfect picture place.

Well....off to continue my at home Italian date with honey. Just stopped by to give you my fun outfit.

Knitted Dress

This dress was gifted to last year.I really haven't worn it much because the dress is a little to short for me.....nothing that a cute lace slip can't fix.

I actually bought that lace just so I can sew it on a slip to extend some of my shorter skirts and dresses. Since the dress is knit it is very comfortable and easily is pulled over the knees while sitting making the dress more modest.

The days here have been very cool in the mornings and then gets very warm during the day. So I wore the short white sweater in the morning but had my lace T-shirt on for when it warmed up.

How long/short are you comfortable with?

Striped Woods

Last week I took a trip to the woods with my first grade. It was our first field trip and they all did very good. I am very proud of them and cannot wait to do a field trip again.

Saying all of this to tell you why I chose this outfit. It's a casual outfit for me....don't wear it often but was perfect for my trip. Did a bit of pattern mixing with my scarf and Tee. Wore my navy jacket in the morning until it started getting pretty hot. We've been having pretty warm weather the last few days....cooling down again though.

Love my new mirror in the entry way......

Would you wear this outfit for a hike in the woods?

Royal Maxima

Wore this outfit yesterday....and while we were waiting to be picked up for church I had Patrick take a picture of my outfit.

I got this new maxi last week on sale....$16. I normally don't spend money on clothes but I want to get more solid maxis in my closet and this was a start. I have a tank top with that same royal blue which made two of my first graders ask if it was a dress....nope....it's a skirt. lol This maxi is VERY long though. I see myself cutting a few inches off in the future. I was getting stuck on my shoes, chairs and what not.

The blouse was gifted to me about 4 years ago.... The shoes I got last summer and I wore them ALL THE TIME....and they are still sooo comfortable. I wear a lot of white and these sanguine covered boat shoes are just cute and comfortable. Payless....my favorite shoe store.

What's your favorite place to get shoes?

Turqoise & Blue // What I've Been Up Too

Hello Ladies,

Sorry I have not posted for such a long time....but finally I edited these picures from last week and sharing them here on Feminine Modesty. Last week we went to visit some friends that live in the country and we took a long walk in the beautiful German spring weather. The sun ist still a bit chilly so my trench coat is perfect.

I am in love with my blue trench coat. I normally don't spend money on clothes but when I saw just a few left over at an Aldi sale I had to check if they hstill had my size... they did. Since then I've been wearing it every day. It's just so classy! :)

The skirt is new to me and I totally love the fit. Flowy but not to big...pretty but comfortable. The scarf I got for 2€....☺ I like wearing turquoise and blue together.


If you are wondering about the paint on my fingers....go to "The Blue Birdhouse" and follow me there...quite a few projects I'll be writing about soon! You won't want to miss it.
