Making it Modest Challenge - Tube Dress

I love what Forever 21 likes to call a dress, it cracks me up every time. The challenge this week is to take this so called "dress" and turn it into something classy and cute. I think it was a success! I love the idea of a graphic stripe tee underneath and roughing up the ruffles with torn black skinnies. Click on the image for the links to purchase.

Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick, Slow

I feel like watching this... while wearing this... It would be impossible to sport this sweatshirt without smiling and busting some moves. I feel a side ponytail coming on. Click the image to purchase.

Target Tuesday - Maxi Skirt

We are all loving the maxi dress this summer, but what about the maxi skirt?? Take a cue from Nicole Richie and MK and try a solid black maxi skirt for a change. It looks fresh and new when styled with a white tee and jewelry. Who knows, it may become your new favorite basic.

Now and Later

A great wardrobe includes pieces that can be worn throughout different seasons. This dress by Forever 21 is a great example of a versatile item that can work in the heat of summer and be just as functional later in the year. Toss on a lightweight cardigan and flat sandals to head to a BBQ, cover up with a jacket, tights and boots and add a scarf to make it work for you year round.

Fall Trend Watch - Oxford Flats


According to several fashion-forward sources the biggest trend for fall footwear is the colorful, flat oxford. With trendsetters like Sienna Miller and Selma Blair already sporting them it is sure to catch on quickly. So we should be seeing them where I live in about two years.. just about
enough time for me to get used to the idea.

On the Fence...


What do you think? Kim Kardashian rocks a flowy tee underneath her strapless dress. Would you use this trick to make strapless work for you?

Nordstrom Sale Going on Now

The past few years have left us a bit disappointed with the price point and selection of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This year we actually found a few things that we think are a great deal. The best find would have to be the REAL leather bomber for $99.90. Urban is trying to sell their pleather for much more than that! Also check out the shoe selection for a great selection of boots. I have been banned from boot buying, but if you are considering investing in a pair of Frye boots. Now would be the time. All items from the Nordstorm Anniversary Sale. Click the images below for links to purchase.

A vest is a great way to spice up a basic (read boring) tee. Here are a few of our favorites that can add more interest to your look. Click on the image below for links to purchase.

Making it Modest - Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston always has a way of making classic pieces seem brand new and beautiful. We love the boyfriend khakis and her olive shoes are the perfect departure from basic black or brown. Here is a modest (and affordable) way to achieve the same look. Buy a size up in the khakis and roll the cuffs to get the baggy boyfriend feel.

Because Shoes are ALWAYS Modest

Warning. Gratuitous posting of fabulous and impractical shoes. May cause dizziness and drooling if you suffer from shoe addiction. I echo the wise words of Chazz Michael Michaels "Its a REAL disease with doctors and medicine and everything."

Enjoy. I'm currently trying to figure out how to stud my own cowboy boots. Hmmm.
