Simple Care For Linen Clothing

This article contains sponsored links from my favorite brand Mountain Rose Herbs. I love their high quality organic/fair trade products, and am blown away by their commitment to zero waste. I started wearing linen clothing because it’s extremely practical. Linen is one of the most environmentally friendly fabrics on the market. Linen is also considered the world’s strongest natural fabric. After tiring of purchasing new clothing every season for my heavily worn small capsule wardrobe, it just made sense to look for mid and heavy weight linen garments that could be worn year round and layered ..read more

My Simple DIY Modest Tunic For $1

This summer I wanted a few simple tops to wear with my maxi skirts. Thrift stores were predominately closed in my area due to the coronavirus, and I’d failed miserably finding what I wanted online secondhand. I also couldn’t find any tunics online that weren’t rayon or another synthetic fabric which are not breathable. Now that we live in the south, cotton and linen are the only fabrics I can bear this time of year ..read more

My What & Why Concerning Modesty
Minimalist Beauty - Style
by Dawn Michelle

I started dressing modestly out of pure obedience after being born again September 2017 which I shared in my testimony.  Being obedient in itself made this process very challenging because I had let go of what I had learned from society about dress as well as my own opinions without the support of scripture. God’s standards are not our own, and modest dressing separates how you look from the majority. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17 KJV Overtime I’ve learned that modesty ..read more

Crazy title I know, but it’s the truth.  Everything doesn’t effect everyone the same way.  So this story today is based on my experiences.  With that said, let me to do what I do and be 100% transparent. Two weeks ago I wrote about my interest in creating a solid uniform for myself so I could be freed from the decision of what to wear.  I learned that some successful entrepreneurs and high esteemed people did this to avoid decision fatigue.  ..read more

Decision Fatigue From What To Wear

The more I have in my closet, the more frustrated I feel when it comes to getting ready each morning. Too much for me means more than 15 carefully curated pieces for a season. This has just been my recent observation. I’m learning that the less decisions you make in the morning, the more efficient your decisions are throughout the day. When you overload yourself with too many decisions, you can experience decision fatigue ..read more

My Fall/Winter 2019 Capsule Wardrobe

It’s taken me a LONG time to get this wardrobe together. There wasn’t much of a budget left for clothing after moving, plus I literally finished sewing one of the skirts a few days ago. I also just received one of the two pair of shoes in the mail this past week. Much of this wardrobe is linen, yet the more expensive linen pieces were purchased on Etsy last year. I’ve thrifted many pieces as you will see, and some I sewed myself ..read more

My love for linen dresses hasn’t stopped. But since our big move from Los Angeles, CA to Raleigh, NC the budget for them has. Luckily I purchased a great drop shoulder linen top a year ago that I created a pattern from. With this pattern I’ve made a top and two dresses so far. One of the dresses is in my spring/summer capsule, yet the dress I’m sharing today is for fall/winter. Today I wanted to share a bit of the process for making this latest dress ..read more

The Beauty of Modesty

A few years ago I wasn’t even aware of modesty. I don’t see many women in Los Angeles dressing modestly, and it wasn’t a notion when I was a child. I grew up in front of full length mirrors that extended the length of a room in ballet, modern, and jazz classes wearing dance attire that showed your lines for easy corrections. I’ve always had a different perspective of my body because of this. The fall of 2017 I had the spiritual conviction to dress modestly ..read more

I never expected to be away from Minimalist Beauty for so long. I’ve been enjoying the areas of life which have made me grow and stretch. I’ve been experiencing the pruning process in so many areas. The process is only beautiful when willing to open your hand and your heart and let go. Life changes you. I’ve been prioritizing home life, carrying for my family, and taking care of my home. I never understood the challenges of a stay-at-home mother until now ..read more

Changing My Capsule Wardrobe Over To Linen

If you’ve never tried or stuck to a small capsule wardrobe, then you’ve never watched your wardrobe degrade quickly from weekly wear and laundering.  It’s very challenging to maintain the look of a small wardrobe.  Shopping high quality pieces makes a huge difference, but distinguishing high quality clothing for your daily wardrobe can be challenging versus high quality pieces for special occasions. I’ve predominately shopped consignment for my capsule wardrobes.  I’ve messed up items in the laundry, and gotten tired of pieces after wearing them day in and day out ..read more
