Soft Life Fashion: How to Build a Feminine Capsule Wardrobe
As a Christian Clothing Brand, Here's the One Issue We Have With the Modest Fashion Movement...
When I first started defining my style, I remember struggling with what to wear. I knew I wanted to dress more femininely, I just didn't know how or where to begin 🌸
"I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,"
I had just started going to church, got involved in our Young Adults group so modesty was the style of choice. And while I loved the idea, I had a problem with the execution of this. Modest fashion at it's core is beautiful. And the purpose behind 1 Timothy 2:9 is meant to draw gazes away from you and to other aspects of life (ie your character and walk with the Lord). And this should be the goal of every Christian.
However, what I find is that many of these so-called "feminine modest influencers: are using modest fashion as a way of drawing attention towards them which undermines the purpose behind the bible verse. And thus it can set the precedent that if you do not dress the way the do, you are not a good Christian.
And here's how we're different. We're two girls who love Jesus but love dressing up, putting on makeup and serving the Lord. As a clothing brand, our hope to is encourage you to draw close to the Lord, desire Him and have fun doing so. And if you enjoy dressing up, putting on the cute dresses and serving the Lord - do it to the glory of the Lord
Anyways, that's enough of that. I’m so excited to share this post about how to build a feminine capsule wardrobe — in this short guide, I hope to help you find pieces that will help you embrace your God-given femininity

3. Black Heels
Nothing is more classier than black heels.
All you have to think of which type of heels do you want to go with. If you’re adventurous and want the stilettos or retiring the stilettos for the low-heel kitten shoes, having a black heel is a must for your feminine capsule wardrobe - and our customer favorites are these two heels
4. The Tailored Trousers
One of our favorite trousers is the brown wide-leg trousers.
These are perfect for the office or running errands.
We love pairing them with a white blouse and sneakers for a relaxed errand day
5. An Everyday Dress
A classy go-to dress would be the Gabrielle. It's cute and practical but it's just what you need for those easy days when all you want to do is throw on a pair of ballet flats or trainers and go exploring around the your town
6. The Classic Black Blazer
Nothing is more classy than the black blazer. Such a staple piece that can be worn throughout the seasons.
And what we love about this blazer is that it’s a slim fit, so it’s cute and sexy rather than being too boxy.
Pair this blazer with jeans or trousers for a simple yet elegant look
