Modest Dresses Now Available

Well, the long-awaited time has arrived...our new dress line is officially launched. You can view and purchase these dresses by going to Sweet Innocence Dress Collection. These dresses are truly amazing. Not only are they modest fashion, but they are modest prices as well. My favorite is this one called the Audrey:

Ruching has such a flattering effect on just about any body type, and this dress really helps to hide and cover that faux-fetus I carry around on my midsection. I'd be thrilled to not have to need ruching, but as it is I am quite ecstatic that Diviine ModesTee has designed such a flattering, lovely dress for me to hide my belly flab in.

Check out the new Website!

The Hunt for the Perfect Shoe

Not to stereotype, but like most gals, I love a good shoe. I love the summer for it's bright and breezy wedges and the fall/winter for boots. LOVE boots! During the summer, I purchased this Polka Dot Skirt and Red Bowtie Tee (below) from Diviine ModesTee and wanted some really awesome shoes to go with it.

I had my little heart set on red wedges. In the past I have had really good luck with purchasing shoes on eBay (NO! Not used!) so I decided to give that a try again. I bid and won these shoes:

I swearthey weren't 5 inches high on eBay! While they went really well with the outfit...bows and all...I was reminded a little too much of Dorothy on stilts. In fact, I wore these one day to the office and was soundly mocked and ridiculed. Probably because I could hardly walk.

So obviously these were not going to work. "I'll try eBay again", I thought, where I saw these absolutely adorable wedges.

Unique-looking and not quite so amazon-inducing. I Could not WAIT to get these shoes! When they finally came I was in heaven! So adorable! The next day I decide to wear my Polka Dot Skirt to work so that I can wear these shoes. I haul out these shoes and attempt to put them on. There I have a teensy problem.

Can you spot what doesn't belong? Oh, that's right! *slaps forehead* the buckles go on the OUTSIDE of the shoes! *sigh* (Insert a really good two-left-feet-joke right here)

But I just can't let eBay go. Third time's the charm, right? Right. Bid, won and received these:

Cute, wedges, unique, not made for two left feet...they were perfect! I've always prescribed to the theory that Beauty Hurts...the cuter the shoe, the more it's going to cause you pain and sorrow. Not these babies.

Next time I buy an outfit I'm going to make sure I already have shoes to go with it. This whole process took almost 6 weeks. Six weeks before I could wear the cute outfit because of the lack of proper, stylish footwear. And no, I did not get my money back for the defective shoes. I wanted to have them to blog about....duh!
