The best thing about this outfit is that it didn't cost much to put together. (Also borrowing this item-by-item breakdown from the "Modestly Fashioned" blog -- the name that I coined!)
Polka-dotted scarf ~ CoverYourHair.com
Red Rose Earrings ~ Urban Outfitters
Pencil Jean Skirt ~ Land's End
Black Kiki-Riki 3/4-length crop shirt ~ Local store
Black tanktop ~ Lane Bryant
Polka-Dotted Ruffle Shirt ~ Marshall's
Peep-toe flats ~ Croc's
Most of the components of this outfit I've had for quite some time (the skirt and tank top, for example, are items I've owned for 2+ years and are serving an awesome purpose). The Polka-Dotted Ruffle Shirt cost a mere $14.00 at Marshall's, and the rest of the items (save the earrings) were purchased on sale, too. I'm a sale shopper, what can I say?
All together, I'd say this outfit made me feel vintage-modest, which is a look I can be happy about.
The point of this post? Enjoy the clothes you wear. Being modest doesn't mean selling your soul to the muumuu and baseball cap. Be comfortable, be fashionable, be modest. But most importantly, be YOU!
