How a nickname, a pumpkin, and a powerful scripture inspired a clothing line that helps women stand firm in a chaotic world.
By Sarah Jenkins, Lifestyle Editor | December 27, 2025
We live in a world that feels increasingly chaotic. From the moment we wake up, we are bombarded with noise, stress, and endless demands. For many women, getting dressed in the morning is just another routine task—a quick decision based on weather or comfort.
But what if what you wore could do more than just cover you? What if it could actually cover you?
This is the question that many women are asking as they search for ways to carry their faith into their daily battles. They aren't looking for loud, cheesy slogans or fast fashion that falls apart after one wash. They are looking for something grounded. Something real.
They are looking for armor.
And one boutique owner, affectionately known as "Pumpkin," has created exactly that.
The Story Behind the Pumpkin
Ashley, the founder of The Bougie Pumpkin Boutique, didn't start her brand just to sell t-shirts. The inspiration goes back to a childhood nickname and a profound lesson about faith.
"My dad called me Pumpkin," Ashley shares. "He explained that being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off. Then He cuts open the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff—the seeds of doubt, hate, greed. And finally, He carves a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see."
That vision of letting God's light shine became the foundation of her business. But Ashley knew that shining that light requires strength, especially when life gets hard. She realized that modern women needed a tangible reminder to "pray hard, stand firm, and protect what matters."
Introducing The Armor of God Collection
The Armor of God Collection is the heart of The Bougie Pumpkin Boutique. Inspired by Ephesians 6:10-17, this line isn't about trends or fluff. It is designed for the days when faith has to do the heavy lifting.
Unlike standard Christian apparel that often feels generic, these pieces are designed as "daily discipline." Each shirt corresponds to a piece of spiritual armor—the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Shield of Faith—transformed into stylish, premium-quality apparel.
Here's what makes this collection different:
- Scripture-Rooted Design – Each design, from the "Truth Shield" to the "She Walks in Peace" tee, is directly inspired by biblical text, not just catchy phrases.
- Premium Comfort – Made for real life, these tees are soft, durable, and perfect for layering under a blazer or wearing with jeans.
- Made-to-Order in the USA – Every item is custom-printed when you order it, ensuring high quality and minimizing waste.
- Conversation Starters – The designs are subtle yet powerful, often sparking conversations about faith in grocery stores, parks, and coffee shops.
- "Bougie" with a Purpose – The brand embraces the idea that you can love nice things ("Bougie") while staying humble and grateful ("Pumpkin").
