Shop 'Til You Drop
In my frustration I went surfing online last night. I typed "modest clothing" into Google and more links came up than I expected. There was a fair amount of Jewish and Islamic links but surprisingly an almost equal amount of Christian ones. Not that I necessarily have anything against buying off a Jew or Muslim, but their clothes usually portray a middle eastern or Kosher feel about them and if possible I'd prefer to avoid that image.
My favourite website by far would have to be the Modest Clothing Directory. It took all the click and back click out of shifting through the links that Google brought up.
In the way of styles I love what Shade Clothing offers. I remember finding their website through the YLCF website a while back and their idea of undershirts to enhance modesty is ingenius. I've tried camisoles to fill in long 'v' necks before but a whole top under a sheer top, wow, it's so effective. I'm currently waiting for them to get back to me on whether they ship to Australia. If they don't I found Impel Clothing and Down East Basics to sell similar tops.
In the way of general: Below the Knee has some really cute denim skirts and Funky Frum has some cool designs. The problem in most cases is the jolly prices. Specialty shops are so expensive.
I've thought before about dwindling my wardrobe size and buying more expensive items, just owning less. I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to invoke that thought a little more than I have. In almost every case that I've paid a higher price I've always been happy. They feel nicer, they wear nicer, they last longer. In most cases that actually end up as cheap or cheaper when compared to how often a cheaper item has to be replaced.
Then there's always sales and Direct Factory Outlets. Yes, yes. I'm currently eyeing off this long brown Bohemian Skirt from Ezibuy, hoping it'll hit the clearance section soon.
