Meet Claire  →

I am a wife and mother that is passionate about sharing content that helps us each live a beautiful and virtuous life. As an etiquette instructor, I love to seek out the beautiful things that surround us. You can often find me making a meal with my husband, building LEGOs with my son, and reading a good book - all in a beautiful dress! Thank you for being a part of this community, I am so happy you are here!

Hello, I’m Claire!

Five Questions To Ask Before Making A Purchase

  1. Do I need this article of clothing?

  3. Can I wear something that I already own instead?
  4. Can I purchase something similar second hand?
  5. Is this piece of clothing well made?
