Seasonal Skirts: A Guide to Feminine Dress Throughout the Year {SPRING!!!}

I am so excited to share this new series with you all! There are 10 of us bloggers who are joining together to share “Seasonal Skirts: A Guide to Feminine Dress Throughout the Year.”

For many of you who have been following my blog, you have read about my path to modesty. If you haven’t, you can read about it HERE, HERE, and HERE. Unless you caught me on a sick day (either myself or one of my children), you will rarely find me wearing something other than a skirt. The most important reason for my choice in skirts are my convictions. The second most important reason is my husband. Many years ago, my husband asked me to wear skirts. He loves me in skirts and he loves the feminine appearance skirts give. His personal convictions for how I dress are based on our convictions of this scripture:

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so areabomination unto the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 22:5

There are times that I do wear pants for certain occasions, but that is at my husband’s request. A couple specific occasions when he requested that I wear pants was when we went caving outside Mt St Helens and hiking on Mt Rainer. I have also blogged about wearing pants HERE,HERE, and HERE. Other reasons for wearing skirts come from various scripture and much time in thought and reflection, but is always based on my husband’s guidance as the spiritual head of our house.

Over the summer I read Set-Apart Femininity by Leslie Ludy and, I must say, this book is amazing. This book really reinforced that the path to modesty I was on was the right one for us.

There are many surveys out on modesty. One in particular that I wanted to share is very detailed and informative; unfortunately, that webpage says it is “under construction.” However, HERE is another post that has some snippets from that Modesty Survey and, hopefully, the site will finish with its construction soon. This survey is definitely worth your time!

This next survey was given by a young lady who teaches Sunday school in her church. I found this one fascinating because it was done in-house with only members from her own place of worship. Check it out HERE.

These surveys, articles, blogs and books I’ve read only reinforced my convictions. The scripture reading our family has done and guidance from my husband ultimately catapulted me down the path I am currently traveling. I wouldn’t say I was ever an immodest dresser, but now I really am much more intentional about what I wear.

That brings us to the reason for this post – Spring is here!!! YAY!!! 🙂 In the state of Washington, sadly, that means more rain. However, a few sunny days here and there have snuck in on us so I am trying to feel Springy! 🙂
