1 Button-Down | 3 Days | 3 Ways ~ Day 1



I've decided to join in on this three-day challenge from Fresh Modesty Blog! It can be quite challenging to be modest and feminine in today's world. but I decided a few years ago I would NOT let that hold me back. It can also be hard, because I've noticed anything clothing over a size 2 everyone (stores) decide you must want to look like a couch just because you are a little (or a lot) overweight! (UGH!) *steps off soapbox* Sadly, that means we have to hunt for items we love. It has taken me awhile but I finally love (mostly) everything in my wardrobe. :D I know it is shocking to those of you who know me, but I actually IRONED my shirt! ;) I am not normally crazy about orange, but I also took this challenge on to see if I could do it and love what I wore. I do! A funny fact as well, it seem I only own 3 button up shirts! Some of my outfit is "hand-me down" items, I LOVE finding "recycled" items from someone else has no more use for but is perfect for me (and better yet, it's free!) My skirt & shoes they no longer sell, but I have linked below a similar one for the skirt. Also as you can plainly see, I am NOT that size 2. However, I am working on it by exercising at the gym with hubby 3-4 times a week since January (and no it was not a New Year's resolution!). I lovingly encourage you do start doing the same, even if it is only a 30-min walk! Just that little thing will improve how your body feels everyday. You are more than welcome to follow along, and add me as a friend on MapMyFitness - I don't update daily but I am trying to be better about entering them in the same day (and I missed writing some down recently, even though I did them) (after you make an account or log-in simply search my name: "Megan Kaiser" and add me as a friend. Let me know if you have trouble doing this.

    1. Thank you so much, and thank you for coming by today! I am excited about tomorrow's outfit as well - and this time my baby sister (4M) will also be featured with a button down blouse of her own! Because she is just fabulous that way, I have to include her in the post. Besides everyone loves seeing baby pictures!
