A Dress with Curves

I found this dress on JCrew and fell in love with it. This dress would look awful on me (and this model, for that matter) because I have no curves to speak of, but this would look great on a fuller girl with great curves!

This sash would look amazing with this dress:

Sailor Shirt

Keeping up with this current sailor trend, I found this lovely top on Downeast Basics. This comes in navy blue and white, too. And I LOVE the rope tie for a belt! This would look great with some jean bermuda style shorts! Oh, and some Toms. Can't forget the Toms.

Blouse

This blouse from Etsy is so perfect! The color, the pattern, the necklace detail sown into the dress. It's chiffon, so it'll be great for this warm weather. This would look great over your bootcut or skinny jeans!

Girls Dress

I've heard friends complain a lot about not being able to find modest clothing for their young daughters. I've noticed a huge change in girl clothing as of late, and decided I would do a blog post frequently for frustrated moms!

Great things about this dress: It's Guess, so you know it's great quality. The fabric is light weight, perfect for summer, but also durable. It's MACHINE WASHABLE - seriously, why would they ever make kid clothes that aren't? It also got rave reviews on their website - BONUS! Oh, and did I mention it's $20?

Dress of the Day

Overstock.com is probably the easiest place to shop clothing, because it gives you several categories to choose from. Example: I searched women's dresses, and then searched cap sleeve dresses under that category, so I didn't get a single sleeveless dress! Makes life easier, when 70% of summer dresses are sleeveless.

This dress is 97% cotton, which means it'll be great in the summer time! It's unlined, which would be an issue of you got the off-white dress, but for the rest of them, you should be fine not wearing a slip. Also, as you can see, it comes in several colors (although I think black is the cutest).

Although this dress already comes with a belt that ties, I thought it'd be fun to style it with a sash such as this one from Etsy.com. They come in several different colors and styles.

Reader Request

Recently, one of our readers (Kelly Ward - she does photography and is amazing - check her out on Facebook) asked to find a cap sleeve maxi dress with an empire waist. Even though it sounds easy enough to find, it took me forever to find one that wouldn't cost my entire life-savings. One great thing about this dress (other than the fact that it's gorgeous) is that the fabric - viscose, the most common form of rayon - is great for warm weather. So bring on that sun! No seriously, please bring on the sun.

Tunic

The pattern on this tunic is gorgeous, and the way it drapes would flatter anyone's figure (all of our mommy tummies rejoice!). This top is polyester, which means it's super durable, has high color retention (to withstand our kids' grubby little mitts), and is wrinkle resistant (...I'm lazy.. 'nuff said). I looked at the sizing, and it runs a little big - so just keep that in mind if you choose to purchase!

This top looks like it would be a little flimsy around the neck line, so I think layering it with a Downeast Tee would be smart. This was the only picture I could find on their site, but they have a color called "oyster" that would match well.

This dress has a modern, sophisticated feel to it. It's also a Rayon/Polyester/Spandex blend, which means it's great for warm weather (if we ever get any), and is super durable (so it will last for years). The neutral color also means you can change your accessories and shoes to match your mood/occasion. Happy styling!

ANOTHER Lace Shirt

Okay but seriously, this shirt's a little bit different than the others, I swear. This shirt is also from Yesstyle.com. These Asian designers can do no wrong in my eyes (well, they DO have some craziness on their website, but that can be forgiven).

My favorite part about this blouse (besides lace) is the jeweled neckline. It adds such an elegant touch to any outfit.

This outfit is a great way to style this blouse. I never would have put the two together.

Dress of the Day

Yesstyle is one of my favorite online stores for two reasons: They have a ton of chiffon clothing (always flattering), and they have 5-10 different pictures of each piece of clothing. This makes it possible to see the clothing while the model is sitting, standing, etc, which is so important when buying something online!

Necessity Tees

One thing every woman canNOT do without is a basic cap sleeve t-shirt. I wear one of these under basically everything. My brand of choice is Shade, but I've heard good things about Downeast, Modbe, and Modbod. Go out. Get them. They're wonderful.

I know I've mentioned before that I'm absolutely obsessed with lace, but I'm obsessed with lace! I've never heard of this designer before, but this dress is absolutely elegant - and white looks so good on our newly tanned skin (being summer and all). Also, it's lined, so no worries about your undies peaking through.

Dress of the Day

I saw someone in Nordstrom not too long ago with a casual black maxi dress, and have been searching for one ever since. It looked so comfortable and elegant at once, and I must have it! I finally found a dress that comes close to what I saw - and what do you know, it's totally doable.

This dress is from Express (love that store), and is made of Rayon and Spandex, which will keep you cool in the summer time. I also love the rouching on the sleeves, such a nice, feminine touch. Best of all - it's on sale! Less than $50. Get it. Now.

Dress of the Day

One thing I miss about Utah is Dillard's. They always have such a wide selection for every type of lifestyle, which is amazing, because most stores definitely don't do that. This dress is the perfect example! It's so feminine, and is so summery, AND is so modest.

The only thing this dress needs is a belt to define your waist, which I included (from Dillard's also).
