Delightful Item of the Day

Looking for something ridiculously awesome to snazzify that lackluster spring wardrobe of yours? Behold this dress from Anthropologie. Now, I am aware that this dress is probably a little less modest for some of my readers but I know there are a quite a few out there that would meet the happy medium of modesty this dress offers. Keep in mind that you can cover this look up with a cardigan if necessary, so this dress is versatile for those not willing to show this much of their arms or back.  It goes up to a size 14, so it really embraces a ranges of women; it's got a flattering fit, and that print is perfection. The wide neckline is especially flattering for highlighting your stunning face. So, prepare to be the prettiest girl in the room in this utterly delightful dress.

Modest Hollywood

Hey there ladies of Hollywood. I just wanted to express my thanks and gratitude for your continuing awesomeness in dressing more modest. This is a revealing world we live in and this is the way you chose to dress for this one appearance, and that speaks volumes. With that said, who rocked the red carpet as of late? Just about everyone on this list! I mean, Kim Kardashian is slightly controversial because I just wanna give her a snuggie and slippers and have her sit down for a minute. But every single one of these ladies makes a fabulous statement! I love Emmy Rossum's dress and I adore Olivia Wilde's pencil skirt look; as always Jennifer Garner is ever the umber-mom sporting the sexiest modest mommy looks in Hollywood. PS how great is Alexa Chung's suit-- love! Well done Hollywood.

Megan Draper Does Passover [Fashion]!

Spring has sprung and the ladies of Mad Men got the memo! Now, I never thought I would want to throw Betty Draper under the bus, but Ms. Megan Draper aka Jessica Pare, actress extraordinaire, showed up at the season 6 Mad Men premiere (insert fits of joy here!) in this stellar, season-appropriate, age-appropriate, modest curve-hugging shift dress that I can't help but loooove. The florals, the colors, the class, the style.

So, like those sleeves? Love this silhouette? Adore the color pop? Good, because it's perfect for Passover, and you're going to want a dress just (or somewhat) like this in your wardrobe. Embrace it and check out the dresses below that all have a little touch of Jessica Pare's Mad Men style. These dresses will look fabulous in your closet for this coming Passover, so be sure to snatch one up!

Springy Item of the Day

Gotta love a DVF dress. I normally hate posting things that are outrageously and unnecessarily expensive, but I am so in love with sophisticated but fun wrap dress from DVF. The colors are fantastic and fluid, and the dress is highly flattering. Wrap dresses are famous for being figure friendly to women all over the spectrum, and this soft meets harsh color scheme will complement a slew of skin tones and complexions. It's really got all the makings of a perfect Passover dress, so if you're going to splurge on one new item this holiday, let be a designer piece that fits your life.

Modest Hollywood

Awards season is over. We can breathe now. We can once again focus on the everyday fashions that grace Hollywood's streets. From the fabulously fancy to the everyday casual, these ladies have this modesty thing down to a (semi) science.Some of these looks are a few weeks old, but forgive me-- I've been catching up. I would just hate for everyone to miss out on the awesomeness that is these modest ladies. So take it all in and enjoy and emulate.
