    Can you be comfortable around the house without looking frumpy?

    Yes, absolutely! The Mediterranean beauty hanging out her wash (above) sure seems to be.

    Welcome back to our series. If you are looking for the last four installment, you can get caught up here with Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. This is just for fun, and we will not be discussing the topic of modesty.

    Be Classy Around The House

    Eclectic mix ‘n match dressing can be lots of fun! These ideas are definitely feminine and cute. Perfect for a morning at home and errands in the afternoon.

    I love this fresh, classic look. My mother wore an outfit almost like this when I was a little girl of 5 or 6 in the 50s, though quite a bit more vintage. She called her pants pedal pushers. Comfortable jeans works for the summer garden, a picnic, or playing Legos on the floor with the children.

    And, yes, I believe it is possible to wear jeans modestly – this is, according to our family’s standards. I look for longer tunic tops (to layer) that cover front and back.

    I love long sweater tunic tops like this for projects around the house. Throw it on over a tank or tee on warm days or over a long-sleeved tee on colder days. Keep your jeans modest by covering over the hips and backside.

    I often wear leggings for extra warmth under my jeans as they are not very tight.

    Take a fresh-air break and step into your wellies and take a stroll down the lane during an afternoon shower. It is that time of year! Matter of fact, it is raining as I type 🙂

    Simple around the house attire doesn’t have to be ugly or boring or drab. Aprons can be so pretty. A colorful work apron won’t easily show stains, even when picking raspberries.

    Do you see the little children in the print?

    I find comfortable, drapey knits are very comfortable for simply relaxing around the house.

    This is simple, understated, and comfortable – maybe not for gardening, but works great for read-alouds, rocking a sleepyhead, and for making your home a castle filled with loveliness.

    Add a little colorful cardigan if it’s chilly, and it also could double for church or a dinner out with your husband.

    The Long Ladies run Marie-Madeline Studio. They tell us, “You can spin, you can swing, you can jump, you can dance, you can smile, (and we’re positive you can cook), in this little apron!”

    Aprons are almost a symbol for the chic domestic queen around the house. Especially, on a work day, wear a pretty one!

    What a great look for an odds-and-ends sort of day around the house doing laundry, gardening, running out of doors with the children! I especially love pockets!

    Would you call them painter’s bibs?

    This is for those of you who “love being a girl. A wife. A mom at home.” I’m proud of my job and how I dress is my salute to my chosen profession. See Sabra’s cute tutorial:

    than that of a beautiful woman in the act of 
    cooking dinner for someone she loves.” 

    ~Thomas Wolfe

    Gathering a quick cutting of fresh roses for the table makes me feel like the Queen of my home.

    Especially at home, being truly feminine will never go out of style.

    No matter what stage of life you are in or what size you wear ~ whether a girl still under her parent’s roof, a young woman embarking on setting up her own household, a SAHM and home-educator, or in your 60s (like me) ~ relish with delight the gifts of womanhood the Lord bestowed upon you when he made you. It is wonderful being gentler and fairer.

    “Women, our clothing and our appearance is one of the most powerful, important means we have as women of communicating, sending a message about our hearts, our values, and what we believe.” ~Nancy Leigh DeMoss

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
