Leggings, Maxi dresses & Stripes
Every year women are bombarded with the new fashion trends for the upcoming season. This coming spring and summer: crop tops, cutout- jeans, sheer dresses and t-shirts with slogans are some of the leading tendencies for the warm seasons. What is a Catholic-fashion-loving girl to do to remain true to her faith yet embrace her love for things pretty and feminine? Living ten minutes away from the beach in a city that is warm almost year round and so close to Hollywood everywhere I look I see creative people embracing the changing trends. Girls in short (and I mean short) shorts, tiny tops, tight dresses, revealing necklines are a dime a dozen. Yet, my mother taught me better!
Embellishments like beads and feathers are really popular.

As a Christian woman I also have a higher calling I am the
daughter of the King of Kings and holding a position of spiritual royalty means
that all of me including my exterior needs to reflect my conversion. Does that mean that I can’t follow the trends
or that I need to choose plain, boxy, lose and long clothes that hide my
body? Absolutely not! Belonging to Jesus is not an exclusion from
living and experiencing everyday life it’s an invitation to take Him everywhere
that I go and to share His love with others.
Dressing as a person that is loved by the King requires thoughtful
creativity (smile). Not all trends will
coincide with my modesty guidelines, but am a firm believer that I can still
dress fashionably without compromising my spirituality.
Stripes are so in.
On this post are a few examples of outfits appropriate for godly women that incorporate some of the leading trends for this warm weather and that
take into account some of the more wearable tendencies like stripes, lace, full
skirts, statement necklaces, embellishments- even leggings! I think the key is to find classic staples and incorporate one or two
trendy pieces to liven the outfit and to express your unique personality. It’s all about finding balance between the
physical world and the spiritual because we are human beings alive and momentarily
belonging to both spheres (smile).
