  64. Rachel, I have been following your blog for a few months now and couldn't believe when I logged on today and saw your pictures...it was like stepping into my own photo album! My husband and I recently visited Brussels and Paris as well - actually at the end of June! Living in Malaysia and traveling back to the US, it was such a wonderful surprise to make a European stop over. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures and bringing back all of our great memories.
    I've been blogging about my adventures as well and hope you can stop by to see some of my shots from Brussels and Paris...actually some even wearing the same blazer you own, haha! Great minds... :)

    Anyway, thanks for your blog along with the daily fashion inspiration. I hope you can stop by mine and say hello.

  69. I just found your blog via pinterest and after browsing for a while I thought it was amazing that all of your outfits are modest - then I clicked the I Am button at the top and it all makes sense :) Thanks for showing us how to make modest stylish too, I'm YW president in my ward and plan to show your site to the YW soon so they can have a fashion bible!

  70. Hi - I found your blog via pinterest and after browsing I realised that all of your outfits are modest, how refreshing! Clicked through the I Am link and it all made sense :) I plan to show my YW your blog for a modesty activity so they can see that modest and stylish can work. Thanks! x

    1. Hi, Katie,
      I'm not a Mormon, but I appreciate modesty and decency in clothing, since I think that the way you look says a lot about the type of values you have in your personal life, so I've always been intrigued by this whole concept of modest dressing being commonly associated with Mormon bloggers. Anyway, I totally agree with you that modesty AND style can work wonderfully together, and Rachel is a great example of that. I wish other religions embraced the concept more openly!
