My Review

This is a short and easy book to read (I read it while getting distracted from editing a book ;)), but I enjoyed every minute of it. Amanda covers a lot of ground in a few short words--from accepting the body God has made you in to embracing the role of womanhood.

Not only does Amanda cover Biblical reasons for modesty, she gives some very practical insight in how to change one's wardrobe. The simplify chapter was very organized and had a great list of questions to determine what to keep or get rid of.

A quote that stood out to me:
"[Wearing dresses] has become a wonderful daily reminder of the thought and hard work God put into making me who I am: a woman."
