Modest Clothes: Skirts
Skirts:
"You skirts should cover your knees. If you are trying to be modest, you should not wear a mini skirt." -Me
Where you can find them:
Luckily, skirts are back in fashion now. (kind of) so you can find a few skirts at the stores. Sadly, they are mainly maxi skirts, pencil skirts, or above the knee. Often way above the knee.
Pencil skirts are really really tight, making it hard to walk. Plus what is the point of trying to be modest wearing a tube? Above the knee is a problem because when you sit down, people can see up you leg. Your skirt should cover at least half of your knee when you sit. And maxi skirts only look good on certain people. (I can't really complain because I'm one of those people....)
Amazon has a lot of skirts, you just have to scroll through 3 million junky ones to find them...
I would also suggest Lands End.
You can look at Goodwill, or other consignment shops. Sometimes they have tons, other times: Nothing.
Leggings, and Shorts: But sometimes you can save the knee length skirts. If you have a dress or skirt that just barely doesn't cover your knee, I would suggest wearing some leggings that cover the knee. Knee length legging, capri length, etc. Awesome use of yoga pants. They are very comfy.
If you are an active girl, wear shorts. Seriously. Though I would suggest this for any skirt wearing girl, a pair of shorts or leggings under your skirt are extremely helpful when tree climbing, dealing with gusty winds, or other such moments.
If you go running, I suggest normal running leggings/pants under your skirt. Basically, all the reasons running pants are helpful (pockets, wicking, muscle cool down, etc) are still helpful, but yet modest when worn under your skirt! For the skirt, I would suggest something just below the knee to mid shin. If you wear a skirt that is too long it will get tangled in your legs when you run or you could step on the hem. I would also suggest wearing a skirt with a bit of flare. That gives you more room to move your legs, plus a cute fluffle when you run. Ditto with going to the gym. If you make your own skirts, make them with sport material. I also suggest not using heavy materials with a zipper or buttoned waist. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but the waist shifts itself upward when you run. Not immodest, just really, REALLY annoying. Elastic waists are best.
If you are working outside, I would suggest a skirt of about the same length: Knee- Mid Shin. Denim is best, but I also have seen some cute canvas skirts and cargo style skirts. (Might I scream: POCKETS!)
Sometimes it can be really hard wearing a skirt. The awkward looks you get. Wearing T-shirts and sneaker with your skirt...The hardest part for me is working out wearing a skirt. There are a lot more people wearing skirts every where now. (Every time you see a teenage girl wearing a skirt with a hoodie/T shirt *I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE*) but the gym is not one of those places.
*SIGH*
I guess we'll just have to be the trail blazers, eh?
If you have any questions about what skirt to wear when, comment!

Bibliophile Tag!!!!!
Hello everyone!
I was tagged by Catherine at from the Rebelling Muse to take the Bibliophile Tag.
So here we go!
The rules are:
Link back to her and tell her you answered her questions.
Check!
And to share with other bloggers, which I will do at the end.
1. What is your favorite fantasy novel/series?
Honestly, Catherine, you have no clue how hard it is to pick just one. So I won't!! :P
My top picks are Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Heroes of Olympus, and the
Lunar Chronicles. My favorite novel is Heartless by Marissa Meyer. All really great reads!
2. What is your favorite historical novel?
The Virginian by Owen Wister. This book has just the right amount of wild west, romance, sarcasm, and wit to satisfy anyone.
3. What is your favorite contemporary novel?
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer. It's a really cute story. There's a sequel but it's not as good as the first one.
4. What character/book best describes your personality?
The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery. It's so whimsical and pretty. I love it!!!!!!!!!!
5. What is your favorite book character of all time?
Ugh. This is hard. It changes from time to time after every new book I read. So right now, it would be Cath from Heartless.
6. What is your favorite author?
Jane Austen, hands down.
7. Do you judge a book by it's cover?
I hate that I do it but I have a better chance of reading it when I see it's cover. I usually read the blurb first and if I like it, then I read it.
8. Paper books, ebooks or both?
Both!
9. Have you read a book you didn't like?
Of course! I read the Hunger Games and trust me when I say, the books are more violent than the movie.
10. Who is your favorite book villain?
Javert from Les Miserables. He is horrid.
Those were my answers for your tag, Catherine!!
I tag:
Maria at Attic Treasure Chest
Naomi at Wonderland Creek
Natalie at Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens
Olivia at Meanwhile, in Rivendell
Have fun guys!
Love,
-Lia

Maid of Culmore

Lent
Ok.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I meant to post this before Lent actually began....but school, life, etc. *Sigh*
Lent is a time to grow closer to God. It's the time to strengthen your relationship with Him, and do a little spring cleaning in your soul.
So....why do we fast?
Well, imagine there is a smoker and his wife is about to have a baby. He knows the smoke is bad for his kid, so he quits. Because the baby is more important then his cigarettes.
Now while the things we are offering up aren't bad in and of themselves (Soft drinks, candy, whatever) we are showing God that he is more important then earthly things.
Secondly, to strengthen our will power. Our will power is a gift from God. No other creatures have will power. Your will is like a muscle though. It needs constant use to make it stronger. And while Candy and soft drinks may have worked when you were younger, your will is stronger now. You need something heavier.
What you give up doesn't have to be totally pointless either.
You can give up the mornings that you sleep in. You can give up your comfort and start running. That may sound fun the first couple days, but after awhile you'll be dragging yourself to the gym. Why do I have to? Can't I quit? Nope. Because this is what your doing this lent.
Or maybe start that diet?
Or read a saint book when you would normally watch Agents of SHEILD or Dr. Who.
The key is to keep sacrificing. Say a morning offering each morning when you roll out of bed and offer your day to God.
Have a holy Lent!
