my attire on Sunday (vol. 8)
If I’m being really honest, the dressing up is fun and I’d do it whether I was posting about it or not, but some of the creepy comments lately from anonymous people are, well, creepy. If you don’t like what you see or you think this is some version of Catholic porn, you are quite wrong. The link-up is to celebrate modesty – both in what we wear and in the comments. So, comment accordingly or don’t expect for a second that your comment will be posted. That being said…
I gave up on being liturgically matchy. The only other white dress I own would have effectively turned me into a Colorado icicle. So, instead, you get one of my favorite colors to wear: black. Well…that was the plan until about 11 o’clock last night when I decided that my outfit actually made me look more like a funeral director than I wanted to look like (as if I ever really want to look like a funeral director!). So, my closet may have slightly exploded until I decided on the following:
The deets:
Dress – $14 (Hello clearance at Ross, you are awesome!!)
Sparkly tights: Target (Christmas present from my parents)
Shoes: Lovely black heels, compliments of Payless, $18
And then I wrote something about how I didn’t care if I looked like I was going to a funeral (I draft the post in advance). Clearly I did. And red won the day. I LOVE this dress, I feel awesome in it (does red have that effect on you too?)! I bought it for a wedding a couple of years ago and don’t wear it nearly as often as I should!
The classic foot pop + you can see my sparkly tights!
Highlights from Mass:
-Father pulled out his iPhone during his homily to read us what the Pope tweeted this morning. Isn’t our faith AWESOME!?
-Our normal cantor was gone this week, our secondary cantor had no voice, and all that added up to me singing more than I played. Normally, I like singing with other people…on my own, not so much. I get WAY nervous. So, when they asked me to sing the Alleluia and accompanying verse I kind of freaked out. But I did it! And it was actually pretty good! I’m grateful for people who believe in me and push me to be more than I am!
The dress straight on (and isn’t that neckline sweet?)
Be sure to check out the lovely ladies and gents at Fine Linen and Purple for more modest Mass attire!
Happy Solemnity of the Epiphany!

Haha, thanks! Somedays I think sassy could be my middle name 😉
Caitlin,
Thanks! No more creepy comments on this post so far, I’ve got my fingers crossed!
Why thank you!
You are so sassy with your poses! I need to take lessons from you! I love your dress and those sparkly tights!
You look stunning in red! I am still shocked that you got creepy comments…you’ve looked nothing but lovely and modest in these posts!
You look smashing, m’dear. 🙂
Sarah, it is so much fun! I was a giant tom-boy for a long time so I like to say that I’m compensating 😉 It just makes me feel extra girly for Mass, which I love! The tights and socks at target are fun!
I so admire that you wear dresses every Sunday! I own a few, but I’m scared to wear them in case I have to feed one of my girls during Mass. I will be going back to dresses this summer for sure, though – I have bought at least one in anticipation! Those tights look awesome, awesome, awesome. I may need to check out the tights section at Target!

Thanks Kinsi, glad to know I’m not alone! They told me to pretend I was in my car…it just doesn’t work like that when the priest is staring at you!
Haters gonna hate, and creepers gonna creep!
Ugh I feel the same way about singing. In groups, I’ll be the loudest, but put me on my own and geez… I could poop.
Okay, it’s not quite that ugly, but…
Keep on doing what you’re doing! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: haters gonna hate.
Aw, thanks! Sometimes I feel really over dressed – even being in the choir, most of the other members wear jeans so I stick out!
Thanks, they are so much fun! I love the sparkles =)
Great red dress & the sparkly tights are beyond fun. 🙂
That red dress is phenomenal! And the sparkly tights – so fun!
Love your outfits!!!!
Ill have to step up my dressing up for Christ!!!
I love the tights – plus they are thicker than normal tights which is really nice! Red is good for Palm Sunday and Pentecost, and Confirmation ceremonies 😉
That dress is lovely! I don’t have a single red dress and only one red blouse even though I really like them. It is a bold color and I always have trouble finding the occasion-perhaps I just need to start wearing it and then rock it like you. BTW those tights pure perfection.
I love the color and cut of your dress! Seems like everyone in the linkup is wearing bright colors today 🙂
Thanks! LBD and an LRD. 😉
Every woman should have a red dress in her closet. For reals. Yours is fab.
Thanks! There haven’t been too many, but enough to be creepy so I figured I’d throw it out there! I love the foot pop!
Modest is hottest, not creepy at all =)
I’m slowly getting more red dresses, they come in quite handy at Confirmation Masses, which I’m at a lot for work!
LOL I did the “foot pop” today too. Love your tights and your dress. Sorry about your comments. I haven’t noticed them but that is definitely a bit creepy.
Red is such a great color! I totally agree with you on the creepy comments. Keep on keepin’ on or something like that! 😉
I love a classic red dress! 🙂
And rock that Alleluia! You can do it!
Modest is hottest.
^Not creepy? 🙂
