Modest Fashion

I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend! My prayers and gratitude to those that are or have served our great nation. Want to help some Orthodox brethren overseas? Don't forget to sign up for Operation Cookie Drop that will begin in the next couple of weeks!

I thought I'd share some of my favorite online fashion sources. I used to love to shop. Ok, I still love to shop but it's a lot more work these days. Namely because of rising prices and plummeting necklines. Was it always this bad or am I just more aware and conscious of what I wear as nowadays as my children's mother?

In any case, what used to be a fun day at the shops hunting for the perfect dress for a wedding, graduation or baptism has somehow transformed into a frustrating day of trying on dresses that are too tight, too low or too high in all the wrong places.

Along the way I've found several different shops that help make things a lot easier for me.

I get so disappointed when I spot the perfect skirt only to find out that it is 3 inches too short once I get it on. However, these underskirts from Vintage Hem turn a too short dress/skirt a feminine ensemble.

I love the above eyelet hem for an everyday look. I'd love to try some of the dressier ones for evenings out.

Kay Unger also has a fabulous collection of dresses. You can use their site to locate a store in your area. They carry both everyday and special occasion wear.

I also really like the outfits from Sweet Innocence Dresses. Their dresses are perfect for special occasions.

They don't have many everyday items but their sister store Divine Modestee has a lot of important basics. I like their Daily Under tees and their Bell Sleeve N-neck tees.

And I certainly can't overlook one of my absolute favorites--Shabby Apple. They have a lot of great dresses, shoes and accessories. Their collections include Mama Apple (maternity) and an adorable collection for girls which includes several styles to match their women's line. I think it's adorable when the little girls and their mama's match!

I love this Jackie O dress...
