Getting dressed is one of my favorite things. Deciding what I want to wear, while sometimes stressful, is something I typically very much look forward to. I think this speaks to something that is inherent in us as women: the desire to reveal beauty.

We do that in our home, in the food we create, in the pictures we share, and in our wardrobe. This is one of the reasons modesty matters. Modesty doesn’t cover up beauty, it unveils it. Immodesty doesn’t reveal beauty, but hides it.

Of course, like anything, our love for beautiful clothes can be taken too far (like the time I got in credit card debt for a short time a few years back…). So prudence is key. But I think it is entirely possible to have beautiful clothes on a budget if we are thoughtful and intentional with our purchases.

In any case, May is a great time to honor Mary in our clothing! Litany is doing a great series right now called #DressLikeMary. They have great suggestions and are more well-versed in this than I am so I highly encourage you to check them out ASAP.

Basically, blues, whites, golds, pinks…these are all colors that are somehow associated with Mary. Additionally, floral patterns and more relaxed, billowing silhouettes are great options. I encourage you to use what you have!!! If you’re feeling like you want to include some more Marian options in your wardrobe, here are some ideas:
