about
hi! i’m caitlin.
i’m married to t-roy.
we have an adorable dog and we live in God’s country. (aka texas.)
i work here and for my church, which means i do life with super cool people that push me to put God first, then my family, then everything else.
this blog was born out of a conviction to change the way i live because it’s been based on culture rather than what Christ calls me to.
it all started with this lady (hence the name of the blog), this book, and this blog. they messed up my world and wham! bam! alacazam! greater than rubies came along. i thought i’d write about what God was teaching me and be a cute little style blogger.
…about 3 days after i started style blogging, i decided that shopping had become an idol to me. because i rarely learn a lesson half way, my friend kat and i cut shopping for clothing and accessories out of our lives for a year. i have perfect timing. (sarcasm.)
now? that single decision has changed the way i think about everything. greater than rubies has morphed right along with it and i write about all kinds of things now.
and that, in a nutshell, is me.
wanna be friends? me too.
pinterest me. (that just sounds painful.)

Caitlin, I’m not sure if you remember me, my name is Diana Moreno, i worked with you at hollister. I saw something on fb and went to your profile. I have always been interested about following a blogger but have never started or followed one. It is so wonderful to see you, beautiful as always. I can;t wait to read your blog often and see those cute outfits. My favorite about your intro to your blog…the woman of Proverbs 31. I love that. And in the Lord I feel that beauty is renew. thank you.
Diana! Of course I remember you! How are you, sweet girl? I hope everything is going well! I am so glad that you like the blog and hope you stop by again soon! Have a great night :)
i will be stopping by often :) im doing good! love the fashion on this page lady ;) can’t wait to play with my own pieces…all inspired by you! :D thank you! have a wonderful day!
Yay! I’m so glad that you’ve been inspired! That’s one of my favorite things about style blogs. Have a great night!
Just stumbled upon this blog! Excited and happy to find it! :) Love your whole purpose- above all love the Lord…… inspiring!
Thank you, Sarah! I’m so glad you stopped by and hope you come again soon! Have a wonderful evening :)
aww, love the “proverbs 31 woman” part. She is also the woman I strive to be every day :) it was fun to read about you. I admire the challenge you’re taking. Going to start visiting more often. Also, if you like I’d love for you to check out my latest outfit post! Have a good Monday!

Pippa, I’m so glad you did, too! Thanks for all of your encouragement. So glad you’re following along!
Just found your blog! It’s so lovely, as are you! Quick question, can I ask where you and your husband moved from? My husband and I (and kids) are praying over a move to the San Antonio area (job permitting), but we are from the Seattle area and aren’t sure if Texas would be too much of a culture shock for us, you know? We love the heat though! :)
Of course! We moved from Indiana. It’s not as rainy as Seattle, but it can be! Seriously though, all I can say are good things about Texas. We love it. And if you like the heat, you’ll be just fine. I’ll be praying that God would make it clear to you all!
You are refreshing!! Your journey is very honorable and hits close to home. I too find myself feeling good/bad depending on my appearance rather on my self worth. Thanks for addressing that. I will be following you!!
Shelly, thank you for your sweet words. I’m so glad we can travel this journey together!! Have a great day!
