Modest Trends: Jeans

Jeans are the base to most outfits I wear.  During the winter, probably 95% of the time I'm out in public, I'm wearing a pair of jeans.  So I thought I'd go ahead and begin today's modest trend with jeans.  You can wear modest jeans and still be in style.  Here are a few options.

Harem-Style Jeans
Harem Jeans.jpgDespite the connotations behind the name, harem style jeans are very modest.  They're basically wide-leg jeans, similar to flare-leg jeans, but they're wide everywhere.  And they're in style.  And cute, if I do say so myself.  Check out the picture to your right of Gwen Stefani wearing a pair of harem jeans.  Styles don't only range in jeans... also coming in cargo, khaki, and various colors.  You can also wear them tapering at the ankle, which gives a more feminine look, in my opinion, but doesn't make them less modest.  Buy this pair of wide-leg, harem-style jeans for only $19.99!

High Waist Jeans

Boyfriend-Style Jeans
Boyfriend Jeans 1.jpgIn case you haven't heard of this term before, boyfriend jeans are basically jeans that are rolled up on the ends.  Originally, I suppose they're meant to look like they're a girl's boyfriend's jeans.  Check out Jessica Alba wearing a pair of boyfriend-style jeans.  The good thing about these is the fact that they're supposed to be loose and not clingy to your legs, thighs, and rear ends.  Just be careful not to choose a pair of boyfriend-style jeans that take away your natural feminine figure completely.  You want to look figure-flattering.  I adore this pair of Lucky boyfriend-style jeans.  Too bad they're a little pricy at $119.

Special People

A poem I originally wrote for my friend Ali... but also for every girl out there who is looking for a guy who is willing to save himself for his future wife.  I hope you like it too.

Special People

I have always been told I am special,
Made to be cherished and all.
Then I see the boys around me,
And I watch them stumble and fall.

Is there any guy who is special,
Who is saving himself for "the one"?
Sometimes my search can be tiring,
Even though it has only begun.

When I become tired of waiting,
I'll remember who I've chosen to be.
I'm waiting for a purpose and reason,
For the guy who is waiting for me.

I wish I could see what God sees.
Maybe one day I will fall in love.
But for now, here I am waiting,
So I'll make His love be enough.

When it seems like I'm the only one
Who is saving myself in this world,
I'm reminded that I am special, and
Special guys want special girls.
