About a year ago, Sugar Belle got on a skirt wearing kick. I’m pretty sure that it had something to do with watching the Duggars every chance she got. Not a bad a thing, since she was being very careful to choose modest skirts. She is now pretty much exclusively wearing skirts, and often encourages me to do the same. Bless her heart, I really should try to wear them more often. I have quite a few, and Mr. OverKill really likes it when I do…but y’all I really just love my shorts and jeans!
We were chatting the other day about her skirts and I asked her why she liked wearing them so much. Her answer was quite profound yet simple. She said, “I like to wear skirts because they are comfortable, and as long as they are long enough they are modest. It isn’t like wearing shorts or jeans where I have to be concerned that they are too short, or too tight. I just makes being modest easier for me.”
Wow.
I think most of you know that we are not a strict “skirts only” household, but we do try to maintain a high standard of modesty in our dress. No skinny jeans, or short shorts, no 2 piece swim suits, etc. So, it kind of surprised me that she felt that way about skirts.
As we were talking more we cooked up a plan, the 30 Day Skirt Challenge. So our challenge to you is to wear modest length dresses or skirts for 30 days and then see where you are at. Did you hate every minute of it? Did you find it more comfortable, cooler, easier???
Our challenge will begin August 1st. Each day we want to see your outfits, and we will be sharing ours on our Instagram and Facebook page. We are going to use the hashtag #tfmskirts.
And like any good challenge, there will be prizes!!! Details on the prizes are still in the works, but the plan is that each day you post your “skirted” outfit using the hashtag #tfmskirts on InstaGram or Facebook you will be entered to win one of our prizes at the end of the month. So the more days you post pics, the more entrees you will earn.
We’d also love it if you would leave a comment below to let us know that you are up for the challenge.
Over the next couple weeks leading up to the challenge, we will be posting ideas for skirt fashion, patterns, and good deals on skirts. Don’t forget to follow us on Pinterest, we have a board set up just for the 30 Day Skirt Challenge!
I’m up for the challenge and shared the link. Sounds fun!!
It would mean a whole new wardrobe I own none. I do have a few dresses, mostly dressy.
I know a little girl who will do this challenge with no hesitation. As for me, I will try my best….but will need to do some shopping/sewing before Friday! :)
