Hello all!
After a long process of brainstorming and writing sessions... I have decided to give fashion advice. I know everyone seems to be doing it these days, but I really want to be able to help girls look cute AND modest for less money. While it seems near impossible these days to keep up with trends and be able to modestly pull them off, I would like to assist you in finding modest and trending outfit ideas for less than it would be in a normal retail store. I myself enjoy thrifting and will be giving a lot of advice on how to successfully go about thrifting. Today I wanted to write about popular trends with tips on how to make it more modest, how to make it yourself, and ways of making different items work for other seasons.
{HIGH WAISTED SHORTS}
GOOD-
I for one am extremely excited that high waisted shorts are in style right now. They are a lot more comfortable and you can pull off shorter shirts, due to the extra stomach coverage.
BAD-
I do not like that every store I have been to only has the high waisted shorts that are cut far too short and have more holes than denim. I also do not like girls using the high waisted shorts as an excuse to wear insanely small shirts.
SOLUTION-
Instead of paying near $40 for one pair, go to your local thift store and find a pair of high waisted jeans that you can cut and roll into shorts. Than you will have the ability to pick whatever length you feel most comfortable with. When thifting for the jeans make sure you look for a good fit in the waist and your thighs. That is the only part that will matter. If you are one of those girls who enjoys crop tops, you can make it more modest by simply adding a cami or a cute cardigan to cover more skin.
{BOYFRIEND JEANS}
GOOD-
They are super loose and do not draw as much attention to your curves, they are a lot more comfortable than skinny jeans, they are a lot better in the summer heat than skinny jeans or normal jeans.
BAD-
They tend to have a ton of rips in them and I do not like the name. Other than that I love the style and it's pretty modest in general.
SOLUTION-
You can go to the thrift store and go to the boys sections and pick up a pair that is loose in the legs and tighter fitting on your hips. Youll want a pair thats longer so you can cuff them. You can also add a view rips, if thats the look youre going for.
{SHORT RAZOR BACK SUNDRESS}
GOOD-
They are great for summer, because they get great air flow and they are easy to layer.
BAD-
They tend to be extremely short and because they are so flowy they blow, whenever there is a breeze.
SOLUTION-
Because they are so easy to layer you can easily put on a cute pair of colorful skinny jeans or leggings, so you don't ever have to worry about a strong breeze blowing up your dress. its also cute to wear a long lace vest with leggings and cute heels or sandals.
{CROP TOPS}
GOOD-
They are very comfortable and are extremely airy.
BAD-
They tend to be worn with low rise shorts, so most of the times most of your stomach will be showing.
SOLUTION-
If you wear a cami and high waisted shorts it covers your stomach so you dont have to worry about raising your arms and having your whole stomach show. You can also wear them with high waisted skirts.
I hope some of these ideas have helped you find new ways of keeping up with trends, while staying modest at the same. I should be doing one of these each week, so stay tuned for some more fashion tips and new trends!
God Bless,
Charity
