Modest is Hottest

Hi everyone! As part of my personal style, I aim to be modest in my dress. I wear tops that cover my shoulders and bottoms that go at least to the knee in length. Unfortunately, most available styles do not fall into either category, so I have to improvise in how I wear each article of clothing. Here are some of the tricks I use to stay modest (as well as hottest!). Ryan Gosling knows best.

Shirts

Problem: The sleeves don't cover my shoulders, the neckline is too low or the material is see-through.

Solution #1: Purchase a shirt you can wear under an immodest shirt. I prefer the tees from DownEast Basics. They have several colors and are inexpensive. Here's their Classic Tee in white:

Here's how it can look:

Solution #2: Wear the tank under a cute cardigan or blazer.

Skirts

Problem: They are too short, coming above the knee.

Solution: Wear a longer slip or skirt underneath. There are cute options at ShopRuche.com right now:

Dresses

For dresses, you can combine the two principles. Here's how it can look:

Bonus: If the dress is too short, wear it as a cute top!

Fall Fashion Trends

Hello everyone! I decided since the weather is getting chillier, to post about this season's fall fashion. Here are a few of my top picks:

I love this coat and the sassy socks with strappy heels. It provides a nice transition into fall.

Another wonderful coat. I love the neutral color-combination.

A great ensemble for the cooler days. The boots definitely scream fall!

A good example of how to wear a maxi skirt when the weather cools down.

Here is a cute dress that screams fall. I would probably add a red lip so that I wouldn't drown in the dark color.

Fear: Heels with Jeans

I have no idea why it is terrifying for me to actually wear heels with jeans since it is completely classy, but I am making a goal to try this out for work over the next few weeks. Wish me luck!
