VeniteAdoremus Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Partly inspired by this thread, and partly because I have to visit a school in the heart of the Dutch Bible Belt (yes, we have one, too!) tomorrow, I went to the tall women's clothing shop (appropriately called "BeLong") and got myself three skirts, one to just above the ankle and two below
HeavenlyCalling Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) I just went to the store and got a really cool long skirt, I have worn it every where, it's driving my sister crazy. When I was younger I was in the Itialian parade in Gloucester. I was dressed as the Portugese bread woman, and I got to wear a really cool outfit. It was a really cool thing. I got to wear this really cool long skirt and blouse and head thingie, it was like 110 degrees but it was so much fun!!!! Skirts totally rock!!! I love those Sari's too, by the way, the pink one totally rocks, I have always wanted to wear one of those. Edited January 23, 2007 by HeavenlyCalling

Lil Red Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 [url="http://modbeclothing.com/"]http://modbeclothing.com/[/url] has some sweet, modest, up to date clothes
franciscanheart Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 modbe links to abercrombie. it could just be me, but i don't see that as modest.
Lil Red Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 but their clothes are still pretty modest. and i don't even see a links page. how could they link to abercrombie if they don't have a links page? i had the wrong web address in my post (i corrected it).

SJRod55 Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Modesty is a combination of the 'way you carry the clothes' and the way you wear them. I have seen some pretty interesting clothes that were 'modest' in terms of how they were worn.
franciscanheart Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Can you not buy online? (I think I remember that being my only complaint about them the last time you linked us there.)

[/quote] Yeah, you can't purchase things online... only if you go to their HQ in Utah or from a local fashion consultant... I'd like to be a consultant, but I don't know how many people out here would be interested. Edited January 25, 2007 by FutureNunJMJ

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Yeah me too... I know it costs some to become one too...
Lil Red Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 there's a consultant in my state, but she's 400+ miles away - not exactly convenient

kateri05 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 but you can't buy any of that fun modbe stuff online.... weird!

[/quote] Yeah... you can only buy it from local (or not so very local) fashion consultants or from their HQ in Utah. You would have to go to Utah to buy though.
VeniteAdoremus Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 What strikes me is that a lot of modest shops are LDS or Jewish... not that I mind (not at all), but I'm just curious why no-one else, no-one Catholic, is jumping in this gap?
