Shorts!!!

Hey girls! Temps are rising and so are hem lines! Shorts season for modest girls can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. We have some options, believe it or not, to show some leg without compromising our standards of modesty and causing our brothers in Christ to stumble. You ready? Here we go...

 There are so many kinds of shorts- for example: Denim, canvas, plaid, shortie, cuffed, and cut-offs! I'll be simple and break them into three categories: Midi, Bermuda, and athletic shorts. 

• Midi. Mid length shorts are my favorite! In my opinion, very short shorts are not modest. Not to mention they aren't always the most flattering and can make you feel very self conscious! Shorts that are mid thigh length can be a great middle ground between bootie shorts :P and longer Bermuda styles. It might be challenging to find a lot of this style, but if you look hard enough you can find some really cute pairs. With these suggestions, please keep in mind that girls have different standards of modesty. On my body (pretty short legs!) I believe that most midi shorts are modest, but please, never compromise you or your parents' standards! With that said...

I haven't tried this pair on but they look pretty cute. Old Navy has a good selection of modest shorts on their website.

These are from Target and come in a variety of colors.

Tiny white shorts with a cute belt are always in. This style is a little more modest.

• Bermuda! Long shorts that are in style are an amazing thing! Bermuda shorts are usually around knee length, some are a couple inches shorter and a some little longer. Bermudas can be denim, khaki, or a variety of materials. Plaid bermuda shorts are very common too.

Love these shorts from American Eagle. AE has a few great styles of longer shorts.

These khakis are from Old Navy.

These cute cargo-looking shorts are also from Old Navy

• Athletic. Athletic shorts have many uses- Sports, exercise, or just a casual look on a hot summer day. Every girl needs at least a couple pairs of mesh or running shorts in her closet. Even athletic shorts can be immodest though. When picking out sporty britches make sure that they are long enough, and that they don't expose your underwear when you're sitting or exercising.

Who says basketball shorts can't be feminine? I love this Nike pair from Finish Line.

Found these awesome Nike's in several colors at The Academy.

MC Sports carries these Under Armour shorts. They don't look too short, but you would have to try them on to be sure.

I hope this gives you some ideas if you're looking for new shorts! It might be a difficult task, but it is possible to find modest shorts. Hang in there! <3 Erin

The Hair Feather Trend!

Hair feathers were definitely in last summer, will they still be the rage this season?

YES! Not only are hair feathers still in style, but they're coming back with a rainbow of colors - including neon!

I personally love hair feathers! They're a fun and trendy way to express yourself. You can wear feathers in bold neon colors, or in soft earth tones.

Pick any color you like!

I got a few hair feathers at salon last summer and they were pretty pricey! However, they did last almost three months. This year, I plan on getting them myself. Feathers can be bought in numerous colors on Amazon.com and then you can crimp them hair with simple jewelry pliers.

I (Grace) have been blogging for MSL for over a year! However, due to the busy life of a high school student, I simply don't have the time to blog anymore. I've really enjoyed it!:) Although, this will be my last post.

Beauty and fashion is so much fun, so I'll definitely keep reading MSL!

Ladies, remember who your true beauty comes from!♥

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30
