• Neon has been a really big trend this season. To modestly wear the neon trend, opt for small pops of neon like a small neon clutch or skinny neon belt.
• Neutral colors help to tone more vibrant hues down. (shown below)
• Pastels are still a hit this season. Try wearing pastel denim to switch things up a bit.
• Step out of the expected pastel pinks, lilacs, and baby blues and try mint green.
• Wearing different hues of the same tone is no longer a fashion faux pas. A monochromatic look is a great way to subtle wear more than one color. (Shown above)
• Jazz up a black and white ensemble with a pop of your favorite color
• Floral print is an easy way to add color to your look.

My favorite color combo this season is pink with nude and tan. What’s your favorite color this season?

Floral Prints seem to keep coming back year after year. They were a huge hit during last year’s Spring/Summer seasons and will be a huge hit in the upcoming seasons as well. This year, floral prints are being accompanied by nature prints. Designers everywhere are incorporating leaves, water, animals and a host of other natural elements into their designs.

Graphic Prints are another top trend this year. The bold straight lines of geometric and graphic prints add structure to any look. They also give an artistic vibe and make color blocking more interesting.

Kaleidoscopic Prints were also seen on runways around the world. These prints bring a bit of avant garde and elegance to any look.

Here are a few quick tips on how to incorporate these trend into your wardrobe…

• The easiest way to add prints to any look is with accessories.
• Try mixing prints for a fun and unexpected twist.
• When mixing prints, choose prints within the same color family.
• A neutral color helps to break up the monotony of a print
• Try styling printed jewelry such as an ethnic printed bangle or a floral printed bib necklace

I hope this week’s tips will help you to modestly stay in style when incorporating prints into your wardrobe. The look below features a floral printed skirt,  matching blouse and cardigan.  Wedge sandals, a top handle bag and coordinating jewelry give the look a chic finish.

Her are a few tips on how to wear different shades of the same color…

• Pair a darker shade with it’s pastel counter part. For example, purple can be worn with lavender and fuschia with baby pink.
• Color blocking with solid pieces helps keep the look from being too busy. (shown below)
• If you want to wear a printed piece, opt for a simple pattern or large design. Try to avoid small repetitious prints such as small polka dots, or small stripes.
• Chunky jewelry creates a great contrast.
• A blazer or cardigan is an easy way to wear another tone. (Shown below)
• Try styling lighter tone accessories for a subtle contrast.

Here are a few tips to help you modestly put your best foot forward in a cute chic pair of fringe boots:

• Minimalist approach- Fringe boots are bold pieces on their own. To modestly wear them, tone other accessories down a bit. Try wearing simple jewelry with a small bag.
• Fringe boots look great in earth tones. Try neutral colors like browns, tans and greys. This also helps your look to remain modest.
• Fringe bags are super cute and help to balance out the shoes (as shown below)
• Tribal prints such as African and Native American prints look great with fringe boots. (shown below)
• An oversized sweater with a pair of jeans are simple yet impactful pieces to wear with your favorite pair of fringe boots.
• Try a fur vest with your fringe boots for a naturalistic look.
• Don’t be afraid of short  fringe boots with skirts. (shown below)

Here are a few quick tips on how to change your day wear to evening:

• Start with pieces that are versatile.
• Opt for skirts and slacks over denim.
• The fastest and easiest way to transition your day pieces to evening wear is by switching accessories. (shown below)
• Blazers and Jackets add a chic touch and can dress up any casual look.
• Usually, anything with sequin can add a festive touch to your look. To wear sequin modestly, choose small pieces such as  a skinny belt or a small brooch.
• Clutch bags are often dressier than satchels, totes, and hobos.
• Not into sparkles? Opt for pearls. Pearl accessories instantly dress up a casual look.

The look below shows how to transition a basic white blouse and a-line skirt from day to evening by switching the accessories and outerwear. Ballet flats were swapped with chic peep toe pumps. A black tote has been exchanged for a dressy pearl clutch. Jeweled earrings and a bangle add an element of color and polishes the look off. I hope these tips will help you to modestly stay in style while attending your holiday get-togethers.

I  love the maxi dress. But one of the problems I’ve run into while looking for for them are the neck lines. They tend to be low or none existent. This problem can be remedied by wearing a boat neck tee or tank underneath. Layering a tee under a spaghetti strap maxi dress not only makes is more modest, but can add a pop of color as well. Maxi dresses with sleeves do exist. Shopping for them just takes a little time and patience. But know that they are out there.

Maxi dresses allow you to move and be comfortable with style and most importantly, modesty. I hope this tip makes it easier to modestly stay in style. Also, be sure to hop over to {longdistanceloving} and check out {av}’s Friday’s Fancies.

The look below features a short sleeve maxi dress with ankle strap wedge sandals, a sunhat, top handle bag, and jewelry in contrasting colors. I’ve added a black cardigan with the look to show how the maxi dress can be transitioned to the fall.

Here are some style tips:

• A colored jacket or blazer is one of the easiest ways to accessorize a white dress. You know that one jacket in your closet that you can’t seem to find anything to match? I’m sure it’ll look really good with your white dress. Try it out.

• A belt is a great way to break up the white. It helps to add a pop of color on an otherwise plain white dress.

• Add a flower pin or brooch for a sophisticated look

• A sash can be tied around the waist for a belt or even worn around the shoulders (for sleeveless dresses) on cool summer evenings
• Yes, scarves are worn during the summer. A printed chiffon or silk scarf can add life to your dress.

• One of my favorite ways to accessorize is with colored jewelry. It is also the easiest way to bring color to your white dress

• Sometimes, the shoes make the outfit. Play your other accessories down a bit and allow your shoes to stand out.

When shopping for a white dress, try to find a simple style. The plainer, the better. Also, short sleeves or sleeveless dresses tend to be the most versatile. As for the length, try a calf  length. That way, it’ll look good with heels or flats.

The look below features a white shift dress, with colored accessories, and a coordinating linen jacket. I hope these tips will help you to modestly stay in style. Be sure to check out {av}’s Friday’s Fancies over at Long Distance Loving.

Colors:

• There are many different hues of reds and blues to wear. Wearing these colors modestly would mean to wear the warmer shades of reds and blues. For example, instead of wearing a bright royal blue, opt for the navy.
• Wear the brighter colors in your accessories and try not to wear too many accessories with the bright colors at one time. For example, in the look below, the shoes are done in red to bring out the red in the top. There are two other accessories with the red (bangle and earrings) but the larger pieces (pants and bag) tone them down with the dark denim. Since the red stripes are minimal, this keeps it modest.

Style:

• On a really hot day, you may not want to wear jeans. But, you want to be able to play with the kids, or just be comfortable at the family barbecue. Cropped jeans are the perfect alternative. If you don’t have a pair of cropped jeans, create the  look by cuffing a pair of straight leg jeans above you ankles.
• The nautical theme is a great way to wear American colors.

Remember, start with what you have in your closet. Be creative by remixing what’s already there. I hope this week’s tip will help you to modestly stay in style. We’ve linked up {av}’s Fridays Fancies so, don’t forget to go over to Long Distance Loving and check out what she has going on.

Midi’s come in just about any variety of fabrics, colors and prints.  They can be worn at or below the belly button or on the waist. There are dresses available in the midi length as well (as shown below).  I love the versatility this skirt length offers. It can be worn with flats or heels. I think this classic will be around for a long time…at least in my closet anyway

I hope this quick tip will help you to modesty stay in style. And, as always, don’t forget to check out {av}’s Friday’s Fancies over at Long Distance Loving.
