Keeping it Classy {Modest Fashion Week} Day 2

Hello it is me, Gabrielle. I am doing the linky today.


Well, y'all are probably in a state of shock that I am doing today's linky, right?  I now give you leave to get up off the ground and dust your clothes off.

There we are.

Ashley was unable to do her outfit post today because she works on Mondays, and I could not get her outfit pictures in before she left because I was doing school. ;) Also, she is going to a special event tonight so I will be unable to take photos of her outfit before dinner.... You get the idea? Anyway, her outfit is really pretty.  But I'll leave it to her whether or not she posts pictures sometime or not.



Now, let's take a look at my outfit for today.  I am wearing: a knee length denim skirt {made by me}; burgundy red sweater shirt {given to me}; brown boots {Target}; lace fashion scarf {Maurice's}; thistle necklace {Khols}.  I am really, really sorry about the quality of these photos! I had to take them of myself, and I have no tripod.  I took them all in mirrors and my hand was shaking..... Not good.

Now, y'all know the drill.  Link up your links to your Keeping it Classy {Modest Fashion Week} below. I am looking forward to seeing them! Oh, and I almost forgot, you can also email your pictures. :)

CLOSED Marie-Madeline Studio Giveaway {Route "66" Skirt Pattern}




Guess what, girls? The lovely Long ladies have agreed to sponsor a giveaway for the Keeping it Classy {Modest Fashion Week} that's going on this week. If you are like me and my family, you will adore the Long ladies and their delightful store & blog, Marie-Madeline Studio {blog}.
We love the fabric selection they sell. They are all such beautiful fabrics! I have a mile long wish list from their site of fabrics I love. ;-)

 



Aren't these two fabrics just so unique? The first is, Springtime in Paris. While the second is, Old Script
Besides fabric they sell patterns {they designed them themselves}, trims, aprons, quilts, and custom skirts/girls clothing. 




Here is one of their quilts. This one is actually mine that I won in a giveaway from them. It is wonderful, and has been so warm during these cold winer months.   
We own several of their patterns, but my favorite has to their Route "66" skirt pattern. It is so easy to sew, and it has the right amount of flowy-ness in the skirt. Always a huge plus in a skirt! =) I have pattern review of the Route "66" skirt posted here on the blog. You can find it here. Also the skirt has been worn by both me and Gabrielle here on the blog several times. {1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.}

Keeping it Classy {Modest Fashion Week} Day 1


Burgundy Jacket {Target} - White Blouse {IZOD Outlet} - Red & White Tank {J.C.Penny} - Black Pencil Skirt {Made by me} - Black Tights {J.C.Penny} - Black Flats {Payless} - Eiffel Tower Earrings {Etsy} - Black Lace Flower (in my hair) {Maurices} 

Girls the day has finally arrived! Today is the start of my Keeping it Classy {Modest Fashion Week} and we will be having giveaways all this week {except for today}!!! And guess what? I just realized the other day that this Modest Fashion Week is going on the same time as New York Fashion Week. How cool is that?!?!

Well, with Valentines being tomorrow, I wore hues of red in my outfit to church. This is also a new skirt that I made recently - I think it was last month. I just never got around to taking pictures of it. You know what? It is really hard to take pictures of your sewing projects during the winter, because of all the cold weather and snow. It is so much easier taking pictures in the warmer weather with the sun shinning. =) 

Now it's time for you to link up your outfit for today {the direct link to your post}. If you don't have a blog, you can either post pictures on like flicker and link them up below. Or, you can email me your pictures. So go ahead and link up your post/pictures below in the linky thing below.

Valentines Day & What to Wear

Some of you might be pondering what to wear on Valentines Day. I, for one, love dressing up for the holidays. In fact, this past week I've been wearing pink almost everyday in preparation of Valentines. I guess you can say, I sometimes go a little over board. =) Anyways, I've put together a few ideas for all of you. Hopefully you will find them helpful!

Try finding a shirt that is feminine and has some girly touches; like the ones above {All of the above shirts are from Maurices}. It doesn't have to be red or pink. Just find the most girly top you own and it should work. Or, if you are feeling crafty this weekend, try out this shirt tutorial I made last year for Valentines.

For your bottom half, try either a really nice skirt. You could do flow-y, lacy, LBS, or a nice denim skirt. Or, how about a nice red, or pink skirt. It can be solid or printed.

Maybe instead of a skirt you would rather wear pants? How about some khakis? Dress pants? Or a really nice pair of jeans. I, for one, prefer a darker wash; I think it looks nicer then most lighter washes.

Maybe, you are more of a dress type of girl? Here are some options for you. You can wear a solid color {pink, red, grey, black}. Floral dresses are always nice {the v-neck one I would wear a tank or cami underneath}. Of course, you can't forget polka-dots! They are always fun and girly. You know what? I might wear my black polka-dot dress with lots of pink accents on Valentines!

Hopefully you will find some of these ideas helpful! So, what do you plan on wearing?

A Different Style from the Norm

Olive Green & Brown Check Tunic {Sister's closest (Kohl's)}, Jean Pencil Skirt {made by me}, Brown Belt {Maurices}, Tan Boots {Target}, Brown Knee Highs {Kohl's}, Cameo Necklace {Portobello Road Market, London, UK}, Pearl Earrings {Gift},  Wool Military inspired Coat {Target}

This outfit is definitely different from my norm. The shirt is something I normally wouldn't buy/or make for myself, but last night my sisters and I played dress-up by shopping each other's closest and trying new outfits on. This is one of those outfits. Today's outfit really effected my mood, because you know what? I wore my hair in pigtails today. =) I normally don't wear my hair that way - I used to all the time when I was younger though. 

The Lovelies

If you like, you can vote for my blog right here. It has been nominated and I would love your votes! =)


Remember this skirt from last night? I finished it and we took pictures of it this afternoon. It will be up for sale soon. It's a size 8 {Waist 27" & Hips 37 1/2"} and it will cost $32 + shipping. If any of you would like it before I list it up on Etsy, send me an email.
