I’m obsessed with all the amazing boutique clothing stores that are creating faith based jewelry and clothing.
There’s nothing like waking up and choosing your outfit based on what message you feel like wearing that day.
A few of my favorite t-shirt messages are:
“A Little Bit of Coffee & a Whole Lot of Jesus”
“Don’t Give Up – Galatians 6:9”
“Love hard. Tell the truth. Show Grace. Say your prayers. Surrender.”
Oh, and I also love wearing the occasional secular quote, especially the one my Sister-in-Love special ordered me for my birthday this year:
“I never imagined I’d grow up to be a super sexy chicken lady, but here I am killing it.”
Yep, that one always makes me smile!
And I like to think my 26 hens and King Tut (our rooster) like it too.
But let’s not get off track…because this blog post is all about wearing our faith.
I’ve found a clothing company that I’m super excited to share with you because they mix faith and fashion in such a beautiful way.
**I received a free T-shirt from Simply Bliss Boutique in exchange for writing a review on the blog. Although this post is sponsored, all opinions are my own.**
The owners of Simply Bliss Boutique are committed to creating clothing that is modest and affordable, but their shop is about so much more than the clothes.
They are all about sharing the message that women are beautiful, modesty is desirable, and faith is wearable.
Women are beautiful, modesty is desirable, and faith is wearable.The Simply Bliss mission statement is straight out of the Bible:
“She is clothed with strength and dignity.” –Proverbs 31:25
I love the style of their complete clothing line, but was especially drawn to their newest t-shirt design.
It’s like they read my mind and combined my 5 favorite life statements into one item of clothing.

When I pull this soft Simply Bliss t-shirt out of my drawer and pair it with my favorite skinny jeans and clunky boots, I’m reminded of the importance of wearing my faith each and every day.
Matthew 5:16 says, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
I am a lover of words, but it’s our actions that speak the loudest.
