Gap

Gap is every changing it's style 
So it may take a couple trips to find what you are looking for
Their website usually has sales and you can always buy online and return to your closest store
Don't forget to head to your local outlet mall to scour gap outlet
26.95
Colorful scarfs add interest to any outfit
they can be worn in all seasons
they go with anything from a short sleeved shirt to layered under a coat for winter
26.99
Every sister should have a light weight v neck
I served in El Salvador and I brought one light weight sweater that I wore at night in the rainy season
They can be used as a stand along piece with a necklace or scarf
THey are also great for layering with a blouse or under a blazer

Gap has so many printed button ups
Also great as stand along pieces or layered under sweaters/blazers

They also have a few longer skirts
I like that their maxi skirts do not brush the floor but you can fold them in a way to hit mid calf

Shoulder Bags

I have had a few requests for shoulder bags for the sisters
based off of the LDS site guidelines
it looks like you could have some fun!

59.99

98.99
I am aware the first two are diaper bags
I went to an area where is rained A LOT and we had to use a mission bag (since it was dangerous) that was not water proof. We had to put our things in plastic bags then put those inside the approved mission bag. It would have been SO nice to have a bag that I didn't have to worry about my scriptures getting wet. A plus as well is they come with changing pads, which are also water proof. Have you ever gone into a home and asked to sit on a sick, dirty wet couch? Well I did, a waterproof changing pad would have been AWESOME at that point

The ones below are great for everyday use
and so cute!!!

Kmart

When I think of Kmart- cute clothes do not immediatly cross my mind
However, I am delighted to show you some cute pieces I found while searching
If you have one if your area- stop by and see what they have


39.99
My sister is headed to Argentina and was mentioning she needed boots
They will be hard to find until the fall clothes come out (give it a few weeks)
I love this style of boot- not the most comfortable to walk miles in, but really look polished
Pair with any color tights (brown with black are actually in style)
44.99
I hate cold, wet feet
Here are some cute feminine boots to keep you warm during the winter
and to keep you from slipping on ice
15.99
I have mentioned colorful necklaces in past posts
I think this one is great
It doesn't look expensive and has enough of a color range to go with many outfits
Make sure your jewelry is not too trendy or flashy
The second someone comments on your clothes/ accessories you have already distracted from your message
9.98
Cheap workout shirt
Make sure you order a size up so you don't feel awkward working out around elders


14.99
This pants look so comfy and are not too form fitting

Any visitor center sisters or any sisters giving tours of the chapel (such a great idea), you will want to look professional. I love this blazer, the neckline is interesting and different from other traditional styles
19.99
You all know how much I love elastic waisted skirts
Pair with any shirt (even tucked in) you can even add a colorful skinny belt around the waist to hide any waistband
6.98
I loved Kmart's camp shirts
All sisters need a white button down
This can go under cardigans, blazers and sweaters without adding bulk


I have had a request for a post on watches-
that will be coming soon
Any other requests email me at 
fashionsistermissionary@gmail.com

Also- my husband came up with a catch phrase
"Dress like a fashionista, serve like a hermanita"
he thought he was pretty creative :)
