Friends of Fresh Modesty | September

 Hey y'all! I'm so excited to be starting up Friends of Fresh Modesty again! It's been so long that I have entries from last summer to share with you! So, without further ado...

Hey! I'm Chels, and I'm thrilled to be sharing an outfit here with
y'all! I live in the lovely state of Iowa with my big, happy family of
twelve. I'm a country girl that loves Jesus, writing, reading, coffee,
thrifting, traveling, and making music! I work part-time as a
photographer/blogger, and part-time as a secretary for my family's
music ministry. (www.bontragerfamilysingers.com) In between I stay
busy working on the farm, helping out at my church, cooking for my
brothers, and touring with my family's band. I blog about photography,
life, fashion, and controversial subjects, over at www.chelsyrenee.com
Do stop by and visit! =)

 Hi everyone, my name is Rebecca Baker I am 17 and from California. Firstly let's give a round of applause to Olivia for inspiring us all :). As for myself I'm a public school attending, exercise crazed, Jesus loving, wild child with a fascination for fashion. Unfortunately, I do not have a blog, but I hope to have one someday, when all of my teachers decide to stop giving me mountains of homework to do each night. I have one younger brother and we have both attended public school our entire lives, which can make dressing modestly a bit of a struggle, but I always just turn my eyes to the Lord for encouragement, and he never fails to put things, like the newest trends, into perspective. However this struggle is especially daunting when it's really hot outside, and I mean really hot!!! Try 110 degrees my first day of school, and everyone else looks ready of the beach.  So here comes my trusty white maxi skirt to the rescue. It can make anything look boho chic. Pair with a pair of organic looking sandals and, ooo girl, you look cool, calm, and collected. To transition into winter just add a light jacket, a thicker knitted scarf, some boots, and off you go.

Jewelry: Forever21

Jacket: JC penny (military jackets also a must have for fall ;)

Blouse: Forever21

Maxi Skirt: JC Penny

I am SO impressed with this girl! I cannot imagine the strength it must take to dress modestly in a public school situation and really want to commend you, Rebecca, for that! Wow.
Plus, these outfits are great! I love how she used the same white skirt for two totally different looks. And her accessories choices are perfect. Well done!

 Hi girls! My name is Sayna. I'm just a girl in her mid-teens living in the South Island of New Zealand right in the country with my family of 10 on our small goat/cow/chicken farm.

I blog over at Shining Arrows (http://shiningarrows.nzbee.com/) as a sort of magazine, where I journal and aspire to inspire, encourage and motivate others in their walk with Jesus. 

I pulled this striped charcoal/grey shirt from the back of my closet in a frantic search for something to wear, one morning. Then I discovered that I had no skirts that would match the fit/style of this shirt, so I found an unflattering tunic in my 'refashion pile', chopped it off below the arm-scythe and sewed some elastic to the top - easy 5 minute skirt! 

I tried completely tucking in the shirt, but it looked frumpy so I half-tucked it and it instantly made the whole outfit much more flattering. Small changes make all the difference!

Shirt: Heattech Japan (gift)

Skirt: Made by me (free)

Watch: Reguno (borrowed from sister)

Necklace: Stall at a fair ($15)

Oxford Shoes: Maya ($18)

How creative is Sayna?! Love her simple but classy outfit! Yay for quick refashions!

 Hello readers of Fresh Modesty! My name is Charlotte Boyer, and I blog with my sisters over at Boyer Family Singers  Olivia has graciously featured me before in this delightful series, and I am so excited to be able to share with you all once again!

I am typically not one to go for maxi skirts, as I enjoy more of the vintage, mid-century styles. However, as we are getting into the warmer weather, I have become a little obsessed with the bold boho looks of Summer; with which comes that ever practical, modest ankle-length skirt. My stock of maxis is piteously small, so my sister Jessica was very gracious in allowing me to borrow her�s :)

These photos were taken on one of those spontaneously warm, delightful days in Ohio, right at the end of Winter when you are tempted the most to pull out your Summer clothes and prance about in the sun! I paired bold royal blue with bright coral in this ensemble, echoing the delicious warmth and joy of the day in the colors I chose to wear. I further channeled the fun bohemian style through my bold earrings, head wrap, and simple sandals. Although I do adore the ease and creativity of the boho look, I still wanted to keep it clean and classy; so I did that through incorporating my favorite stripe shirt and cardigan.

Skirt // Target (Borrowed from my sister Jessica)

Shirt // Old Navy

Cardigan // Thrifted

Sandals // Payless

Earrings // Target

Scarf // Thrifted

Love love love Charlotte's colors! She, like Rebecca, nailed the maxi-skirt look! Love how she brought together the colors from her cardigan and skirt in her headband!
