Getting Rid of Stock to Make Room for More!

I am getting rid of some of my stock to make room for more! Visit my website Sassy Sweet Modesty to see all the fun tops, dresses and skirts I have to offer!

Leaf Printed Wrap Dress with Belt Detail

Yes! We are 1/2 way through the week and Halloween is in just 2 days! What are you going to be? I am going to be a gypsy and E is going to be Sophia the First. Hubby has to work on Halloween (boooooo) because right now is one of our busiest times of the year for our company. But......we are doing Trunk or Treat tomorrow night at our church, so at least he will be able to go to that! 

Okay.. lets move on here and talk about this fantastic dress that I am wearing. I am in love with this leaf printed wrap dress. Everything about this dress is amazing. The quality/material, the detail of the print and the gold attached belt. 

If you didn't get a chance to read my previous post, I started my own online boutique company called Sassy Sweet Modesty (about a week ago) and I couldn't be more excited about it. I have had such a great response and have been shipping out orders. Thank you for your support and your business! 

These days, its so hard to find modest clothing that is chic, stylish and fashionable, yet modest. I have a huge passion for all things modest. Personally, when I dress modestly I believe it sends a message of purity and honor. It shows that I have self-respect and self-control over my body. When I dress modestly, I am saying that I posses inner qualities for which I should gain appropriate attention and value from others. I want to show and prove to others around the world that you can still dress modestly and look absolutely amazing! Right now my website is in the works and hopefully (fingers crossed) will be done soon. In the meantime, I have been accepting orders on Facebook and Instagram. If you have any questions or would like to order a specific item(s), you can contact me on FB, Instagram, or through email: kimberly@sassysweetmodesty.com

FRESHLY PICKED MOCCS

Look. At. These. Moccs. Aren't they THE cutest shoes you have ever seen?!?! I was so excited, as was E when these arrived in the mail from Rachel at Freshly Picked. 

Susan Petersen (Owner) started making baby moccasins in 2009 after becoming frustrated by the lack of well-designed baby shoes. Using her second child, Gus, as a mocc-tester, and a bag of scrap leather she picked up at a yard sale, she began experimenting with designs. Working at her kitchen table, on a shoestring budget, Susan persisted through some disastrous attempts until she had created a pair of moccasins that not only looked adorable on Gus’ chubby little feet, but stayed on his feet as well. Since then the moccasins have gone through about six design changes. Each change has perfected the look and the fit of the soft-soled shoe. The moccasins you purchase today are durable, well designed, and most importantly: stay on your child’s foot. Money was tight at the time Susan started and in order to earn money to start her business she got resourceful. Her brother owns a window installation business and in the summer of 2009 she convinced him to let her keep the old windows that he was removing from the houses. She spent a whole summer banging the glass out of the windows because they were encased in aluminum frames. At the end of the summer she took the aluminum window frames to the scrap yard and recycled them to get money. She made $200 dollars and with that literal sweat equity, she started her business. Each pair of moccasins, whether being shipped to the rich and famous (or at least their kids), or shipped across town, are made with care, perfection and a love for the little feet they are intended for. 

Freshly Picked has a wide variety of moccs to choose from. I decided to go with this rose gold color which is to die for! The first words out of E's mouth when she took them out of the bag was "Ohhhh Mama! They are SO beautiful!!!" (hugging them up against her little face) These moccs literally look and feel as smooth as butter! E's words were "They feel like slippers! Can I sleep with them too?!?!" 

Well...I didn't let her sleep with them, but ever since we got them these are the only pair of shoes that she wants to wear.

WHAT WE WORE.

As I was uploading these pictures of E and I into a new post, I looked at them a few times and got emotional. My heart was immediately filled with so much gratitude for how faithful the Lord has been. He truly has blessed our family beyond measure and I am so thankful to Him. I have prayed for the opportunity of one of my heart's greatest desires: to be able to experience Motherhood....to become a Mother. He has blessed me with just that and has trusted me (and my Husband) enough to care for these little ones with broken hearts that need to be mended...that only He can mend.This little girl has brought so much joy into our lives and I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for her and for our future little family. Yes...E may not be my biological little girl, but I am still her Mother for right now during this season in our lives and I love every single second of it. I truly believe that blood doesn't make a family.... only LOVE does. 

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans 

and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.  -James 1:27

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the  changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." -Maya Angelou

I really love butterflies! I find them to be some of the most remarkable creatures on the planet. They are such beautiful winged insects whose life cycle carries so much meaning and symbolism to the growth process of being a Christian. Many of us have experienced our own “metamorphosis”, as we become new creatures in Christ and become one with Him. Another thing that is also similar, is that the transformation often occurs in stages. Sometimes these stages of life for a butterfly may be uncomfortable and even painful, but in the end a beautiful butterfly emerges, souring high and rising above all of the layers that it had to shed along the journey. As we come to Jesus our life is renewed through the healing and life changing love of God, because of what Jesus has done for us. Just as the caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly, shedding off the old, we too can be like a butterfly. It won't be without pain and it may not be an easy process, but as we battle against the old and keep our focus on the Savior, He will give us the strength to do so, through His Atonement. 

‘Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength.’ (1 Corinthians 15:43) Our testimony of what God has done for us, brings Him glory and honor, it’s part of our story. His story. We can learn so much in our times of darkness. His light is always there guiding us if we look to Him. By laying down our lives and following Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we can be free in Him; we can be a new creation in Him. How wonderful! How grateful I am that I have been made new in Him, renewed daily in His presence. I love how God speaks to us through His creation.  I will always delight in the beauty of a butterfly.
