The Tropical Adventures of a Modest Fashionista

Tropical prints. It's a thing; like a big thing; kinda one of the biggest things that ever thing-ed. If you want a translation of that last sentence, allow me to explain. One of the hottest trends for the spring and summer is tropical print attire-- be it skirts, dresses, tops, shoes, accessories-- basically the gamut of anything wearable is best worn in bright frond-adorned patterns and prints. Nothing says die-winter-die like a cheery, leafy electric outfit, and that is exactly what this list is all about. The following items are a highlight reel-- a sampling, if you will, of the options upon options of tropical attire available for your wearing pleasure; this is the modest bunch clothes (obvi) but there is a plethora out there that can be catered to your needs--sleeveless dresses and tops that can be easily covered up with a blazer or cardigan. So grab a cocktail with an umbrella in it and be prepared to fully embrace the tropics--just because you're not in Bermuda, doesn't mean you can't dress like you are.

The Skirt Revolution

Dear readers, I ask thee hearken back to a time, back in yesteryear, a time long, long ago that I like to call high school. Many of you have been there. Some of you are there now. Like me, most of you reading this were there at a time when skirts and dresses were not the height of fashion. Sure, there was a time when skirts and dresses were the uniforms of women everywhere, but the 90's and early 2000's were not friendly to those of the skirt- and dress-wearing persuasion. It was a tough time for us all [bows head in solemnity].

Fast forward to a much more stable time in my life (and by that, I mean I finally know my beauty complexion number in every drugstore foundation brand) and dresses and skirts are not only en vogue, they are basically the preferred clothing article of choice when it comes to exuding true fashion. Sure, jeans and a t-shirt are great, but if your goal is to make a statement with your outfit, you do so in a skirt or a dress. Fine, maybe a jumpsuit, and only if you are Victoria Beckham, but for the most part, you're going to show up somewhere nice in a dress or a nice skirt and top. Fact. 

In honor of the great progress we have made in the last ten  years-- and by that I mean that now "skirts" is its own category on most websites as opposed to just being filed under 'bottoms', or lumped together with dresses-- I bring you a list of skirts that are so beyond beautiful and wearable that you will instantly forget the days where a gap denim skirt was the only suitable skirt you could wear.

Metallic Meets Dainty

I posted this Piperlime top last week and here it is for viewing pleasure. Simply adorable. It's only $70 and when you order on Tuesdays, it's 10% off. Awesomeness. Is it on your wishlist yet? I love how it could work with a summery airy skirt like this pink one below (get this whole outfit here), but it would look spectacular come autumn with a nice red or orange skirt. Hurrah for versatility!

Striped Item of the Day

Stripes! Yippee! Nothing makes me more excited than stripes? Stripes means nautical, and nautical means summer, and summer means carefree, and I love nothing more than to be summer loving and carefree living. I especially love this skirt because it has all the whimsy of a good nautical summer skirt but it has the cut and silhouette of the perfect office look. This skirt will thrive in any professional environment but will meld right into any weekend look you're trying to achieve. I especially love how the model pairs it with a pop of orange; when all else fails, add color! Click the link below to get your hands on this nautical pencil skirt!

Betty Draper Item of the Day

Want something that's essential, like, belongs-in-your-closet-for-the-next-10-years-essential? Behold this skirt, a true Stepford-style skirt made for the everyday lady, with style to boot. It is pleated fantastic-ness catered to modern, modest woman. It comes in black (naturally), but that maroon is to die for! So many options, so many seasons, so much coverage; it's just awesome. So embrace your inner Betty and get yourself a Don Draper while you're at it. Or better yet, get me a Don Draper-- it's only fair since I showed you this skirt.

Glitzy Item of the Day

And then there were sequins. Those glittery, glowy, shiny little pieces of gold that make you look like a walking million dollars are just perfect for this most illuminating festival of lights! I always hesitate when it comes to too many sequins, but I think this fabulous skirt has all the makings of a really great fancy piece. It's a great in the modesty department, and you can really pair it with anything; any color, any fabric, and pattern. Seriously, pair this with a glamorous cream-colored cashmere sweater, or a black or navy silk blouse; or make it more casual with a white button down and a colored cardigan, or make it really sporty with a striped t-shirt. It's pretty much a neutral if you ask me. A really glitzy neutral.

Tweed Item of the Day

Oh Tweed. I love you. You are one of the only things I like about Fall and Winter. You're just the right weight, got great texture, and you are always a statement piece. With that love letter said, here is my dedication to tweed int he form of an item of the day. This skirt which comes in black and  winter white (which really looks more charcoal and ivory) is knee-length and fabulous for all occasions. You can wear it to the office or to shul, and you will look stellar either way. Best part is, this skirt will never, repeat NEVER, go out of style It's more than just a skirt-- it's an investment. Trust me.
