I love how The Lord has you on a modestly journey! I got saved at 50 in 2020 and not long after that, my attire was addressed. I finally know what its like to feel feminine and to be a godly woman to lead my husband to Christ! God Bless You!
What a beautiful testimony! God is so good!!
That chicken is a hoot!! I'm so glad you shared this as I bought a couple of cotton dresses that when trying them on at home realized they looked absolutely horrid on top but cute on the bottom. I had tucked them away thinking maybe I could use them in a sewing project. Now I know exactly how to fix and enjoy them! Thanks Kelli.
Haha she was SO curious about the camera! And I laughed at your comment on the dresses looking "horrid" I have had this experience also- it's awful!! Hopefully they've worked out with repurposing them!
Good for you, Kelli! As someone who has always worn skirts and dresses, I would add that you can also layer UNDER a dress or skirt for winter. I wear long-sleeved thermal shirts with tights or leggings (fleece-lined are expensive but SO worth it!) as a base layer. If I wear leggings, I add thick socks (Heat Holders are awesome). With that, you can wear almost any kind of skirt or dress! I don't have an all natural fiber closet, but I recently bought a cotton petticoat that can be worn under polyester (etc.) to keep the material from touching your skin. That also adds a layer of warmth! There are so many ways to wear dresses in the winter without sacrificing comfort or practicality! It's encouraging to know that women did it for centuries before us, some of them in much worse conditions than we live in. 🙂 Congratulations on your feminine journey! God bless!
Fleece tights are so expensive, so when I've worn them till they are too ugly to wear, I just cut the feet off. I wear them under my longest skirts with knee-hi socks. If it's really cold, I layer more than 1 half slip underneath.
Thank you Samantha! I always appreciate your comments! And your ideas! I will have to look into the fleece-lined leggings, I can totally see how they are worth investing into! And your idea of the cotton petticoat- genius!
Oh my goodness I think Walter 🐓 nearly stole the show with his cuteness! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🤗
Hahaha as I relisten I can totally hear "walter" hahaa but it's Foghern, I know a strange name for a chicken, its after Foghorn Leghorn, but Foghern since she's a girl. And you are so right, I couldn't stop laughing with how her head wasn't moving!
@ that’s funny because I actually thought about the name but since I’ve seen lots of folks who name their animals for an assortment of sentimental reasons, names that perhaps wouldn’t be considered traditional, I moved quickly past the thought lol. She was adorable regardless and she made me giggle. Thanks for clarifying.
That chicken in the intro made me laugh, too cute, love your videos! Blessings! :)
Haha she gave me a good laugh too. A little star
Awesome ideas for layering! It didn't even occur to me to use sleeveless dresses for layering. That being said, your chicken is probably my favorite part of this video XD
Hahaha I agree, she was definitely the star!
Oh Kelli, I was so in need of a video like this. I have been feeling a bit ‘blah’ about my winter skirts and dresses, so it is so nice to have some fresh inspiration! I really like your idea of maxi skirts in the winter…it looks much more streamlined than being cut into three sections of top, skirt, leggings…
I also like tall, slim boots in the winter… mine are like brown suede riding boots. I find that they really keep my legs warm, while looking very elegant.
You are looking so lovely in your dresses 🌷
I am so glad that you enjoyed it! And tall boots is a great idea, I can totally see how that would be a nice warm addition to keep your legs warm. I will be on the lookout for some!
I love what you're doing with these! I told you that you'd be warm! Don't forget about slips! They keep your dress from crawling up and add a layer of warmth as well. Cotton and silk are wonderful for slips.
Thank you so much! And for the slip reminder, I'm thinking that would be something super simple to sew!
Very very cute outfits Kelli! You DO have style!! Thank you for sharing another video that blessed me and others.
Thank you, Beverly! I am getting ready to email you!
Your chicken was so funny. I love your dresses, they are so pretty.
Haha is that your foghorn chicken in your profile picture?! They are the sweetest little chickens!
@@homewithkelli Yes, the profile picture is our chicken. She always has the funniest looks.
The hen is so funny😆
I’ve been wanting to wear dresses more, but haven’t found how to make it practical. You gave so many great ideas for the dresses and skirts I’ve been collecting. I’m eager to go through and create more of a capsule wardrobe like you have. I love the look of dresses, but skirts are definitely easier for me with a nursing little one.
Also… I saw another comment saying something similar. You could also wear your long sleeve shirts under your dresses! I love doing that and it gives another look
Hahaha she really is the cutest! Thank you so much for your ideas! And can totally see how skirts are more practical for nursing!
I have always loved clothing and been interested in styling. That being said, I still thoroughly enjoy and appreciate these videos from you even though you don’t feel “qualified.” We can all get stuck in a rut or have problems with our dressing that need a solution. No matter my experience, there’s always the possibility that I could glean something from your fresh eyes and perspective on the matter. Not only that, it’s always fun to watch someone’s evolution…and get a peak into their closet 😊
Hi Casey! Thanks so much, that's encouraging to hear!
I am 29 and I've never though of layering a sweater over a full dress. I always do skirts with my sweaters. Smh 😂. Super cute dresses from pact. I love a gauzy cotton dresses for everyday wear especially.
I learned this from a friend!! You can make so many more outfits! And totally agree with you on the gauzy cotton!
Ordered some clearance jumpers from pact a few weeks ago…oh my they are the comfiest! Can’t wait to order more soon!
They really are! They are getting a new shipment of items in at the end of Feb, so I'm excited to see what new stuff they come up with!
This is so helpful!! I have been wanting to start wearing more dresses for a while but i freeze in the winter! Then my husband recently asked me to wear more dresses so i am trying to push to find more solutions for that!
I'm so glad it was helpful!!
This is so helpful!!!
I myself struggle puting outfits together, and trying to wear more dresses as well, didn’t grow up wearing them a lot…. 😆
Thank you, Kelli!
Yay, I'm so glad to hear it was helpful!!
Thank you so much kelli, your ideas on layers are so good, I tend to wear joggers in winter but dresses/ skirts summer but would like to change that. I am short so thought wearing longer tops would keep me warm but has made me feel frumpy, love the crop tops. Oh the chicken was so funny.
Yay for Clarks! I love my clarks, I also got mine from a thrift store and love them! Mine are the slip on loafer style in brown. I recently found a different style in blue.
That's funny about the wool skirts - I would be in my glories! I joke I would be a librarian if I never married. The teacher/ librarian style makes me feel sophisticated. 😉
I prefer skirts right now for nursing, but I recently found a Pact dress at a thrift store for $2! And it was nursing friendly. I wasn't crazy about the print but I got it because I knew from you that it is quality! It's a nice and comfortable day dress.
Great video! a pair of black wool underwear can also go under cotton leggings for added warmth and frequency benefits of the wool toughing your skin. Danish Woolen delight is a great site for those. Even a tank top under it all can add warmth. Northern MN gets -50 F so layering isn't optional. Hoping to move somewhere warmer soon! button up dresses under some sort of shirt works great for nursing also. Gunna find my daughters and I beautiful wool coats at the thrift store - there are always so many. Thank you for this Kelli! Viva Cristo Rey!
That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing the website, that is a great idea and a good investment! I hope you find some wool coats and that you get the desires of your heart to move somewhere warm!
Love this video 💛
I'm so glad!!
Bless you, Kelli! You're very creative! I always use fabric softener in my laundry to prevent static in my slips and dresses.
That's a great idea! And thank you, your comments are always so kind and make me smile!
All of your outfits are so beautiful! I was looking on Pact and they don’t have a section for dresses or clearance. I was so sad!
I saw others comment this as well! Of course the day I uploaded this video they revamped their entire website. I called them yesterday and she said they just moved warehouses and are getting another shipment in at the end of Feb and it will have dresses and their clearance section will be back. Sounds like they emptied everything for the move.
@ That is really funny! I’m glad to hear. I will patiently wait 😝…. Thanks so much for checking! I’m inspired by your outfits and excited to see about buying something from Pact.
Very nice!
You did such a wonderful job with the video! I agree that it’s hard to find your style at a thrift store when it comes to dresses. Oh and cotton/linen all the way. 💕
Thank you Shannon! I'm so glad you liked it!!
Your hair is so beautiful that you could wear a flour sack and no one would notice.😊
haha this made me laugh, thank you
That’s so funny that the chickens head stayed put. 😂😂😂
Love your dress ideas, I might just have to give it a try. I never wear dresses this time of year, except to church and I’ve even been slacking in that because I feel too cold. I need some better options too. Lol
Haha I know it was like a gimbal, made me laugh so much! I'm glad you like the video Kristie! I hope you have a great day!
LOL. Winter is the only time I can wear skirts, because I can be cool enough to wear shorts under them. I have to have something because my legs rub together. And I stay so hot. I just burn up in the summertime. Unfortunately, summer is very long here and winter is very short.
I made the mistake of getting some polyester dresses, and they don't breathe! So in the summer they make me sweat a lot, and in the winter they're not warm.
You are so right they don't breathe! And I do believe the plastic on our skin, does affect how we actually feel!
Loved this video it was super helpful! Where are your wool socks from?
I'm so glad! I got my socks from a local Alpaca farm but the brand is from lanartalpaca.com/collections/default-category-alpaca-socks/products/everest-outdoor-socks-gray-html
Perhaps women wearing jeans took off when Donna Douglas wore Levi Straus jeans on The Beverly Hillbillies show in the early 60s. I like the opposite of plunging necklines ladder stitching. The picture of your pet zebra is cool too.
That would be interesting to look into! And that's fun you recognized/remembered our sweet Miss Marples, it's one of my favorite photos of her!!
As a taller girl, I always feel like wearing dresses in the winter cuts me into thirds (leggings/tights, skirt, top).... it makes me feel a lil frumpy😅
The maxi dress idea is lovely! I also love very flowy/swingy linen midi skirts! Gives a flattering figure without being restrictive.
Thanks for the tips!🤍
Same! I'm 5'8 and have that same issue! And I love flowy skirts as well, I feel like they are super hard to find, do you have a place you usually get yours from?
@@homewithkelli I am 5'8 as well!
I do love Linennaive! I have a few of their skirts and they're very flattering/good quality. I usually wait for their sales. Its a Chinese brand... so, not the most ethical. Its just really difficult to thrift something that is flattering with skirts!
Have you ever heard of depop? It’s like online thrifting! It’s really fun to buy and even sell clothes on there if you enjoy thrifting :)
I haven't, I'll have to check it out, thank you!
Beautiful! How do you keep the dresses from sticking to the leggings with static cling? Or do natural fibers not do that? I have the worst time with dresses clinging to my legs, even without leggings 😅
Only my polyester or other non-natural fiber dresses cling to my legs, cotton and other materials I haven’t had the cling issue!
Thank you Kristin, my same experience. I haven't had any dresses be clingy, with the exception of the purple long one from Pact and it does have more elastic in it!
@@laurapeglow I found leave in conditioner works great. I just spray on my leggings. Static only happens for me if I have synthetic fibers too.
Very nice Kelli! I can’t thrift clothes, we have nothing in the ones around me. And they are expensive! I could never pick up anything for 8 dollars. I wish I had nice thrift stores in my area, but we don’t. I’m confined to marketplace.
I understand completely, where we are now, it's much of the same. I have found a few good spots, but most I don't even go to anymore because they way over price it!
@ especially the chain thrift stores 😕
Quince has 100% cotton cropped sweaters and cardigans. 😊
Thank you! I did see the button cropped cardigan they had but the reviews made me unsure about getting one. Maybe it's just one of those things that you can't really tell from reviews but need to buy it and see!
Have you considered learning how to crochet your own sweaters
Yes! I have some patterns saved to try! Specifically a cropped granny square sweater youtube video I have saved. I just need to get enough yarn to be able to try it!
Wish I could wear wool! Also at 69, if I don't wear my athletic shoes with inserts for most of the day, I'm in big trouble. I do admire all you young women wearing dresses/skirts full time! I wear for short periods of time, like church, etc. It does my heart good, even if I'm not a full time skirt wearing senior citizen.
Totally understand needing to wear good shoes! Thank you for your comment, it was so kind!
I went to Pact but they don't even have a single Dress on their website any more 😢
Did anyone have the same luck?
Seeing your comment and another, I checked their website and it looks like they totally revamped their website- no dresses and no clearance, so I called and asked. They said they just moved warehouses and are waiting for their new shipments at the end of this month and they will have dresses again and there will be a clearance section again as well!
@homewithkelli oh good and thanks for checking!
Do you have a Facebook group or any similar community group? I am looking for a group of Christian woman who live a simple lifestyle
I had a summer Gab group a couple years ago, but haven't carried on with it. I have contemplated this often, but I don't love facebook, and struggle with the idea of creating a group which encourages women to get on facebook, which is what always stops me from creating one.
Do you have a good modest exercise/work out outfit. Thats comfy but very modest (maybe a skirt or a dress). And also very feminine.❤
For me personally, I'm happy with wearing shorts and a tshirt to workout in.
I just went to PACT and they literally have NO dresses on there :(

I would love to know your views on wearing a head covering for just prayer or all the time. Thanks!
