Regarding the Pre-Sister Missionary Headache Commonly Known as "Clothing and Shoes"

Clothes might be your first worry if you've just gotten your mission call and are female. It's super difficult to find things that fit the guidelines, are cute, and that you won't be quickly tired of. Some of my friends have been asking me where I've shopped for mission clothes so, HERE YOU GO!

These are places where I had the most success. I've included some recent pictures of me in various outfits to give you a sample of the style of some of the stores. Not all of my clothes are pictured. If the picture has a number by it, it matches up with a store in the list (because I am too lazy to write Sister Missionary Mall 14 times.) Sis Mish Mall, by the way, offers basic tailoring for $5! So go ahead and buy sizes larger and have them fit to you, if needed!

Oh, and most of these stores will give a missionary discount if you mention your call.
