Fashion’s recent portrait of a lady illustrates perfectly what a true modest woman of our time might appear to be. Demure yet light hearted; covered but fashionable. Possessing a seemingly dated style that is undeniably new. From the top buttoned blouses, to the A-line skirts that hit flatteringly below the knee, Spring runways have sprung a new take on fashion’s adherence to the past.

Read on for our favorite pieces of the season inspired by designer style.

Organic clothing has come a long way since it’s inception as a hippie, hemp laden uniform. Sustainability is at the forefront of green living, and a huge part of being environmentally conscious lands on what you put on your body. Organic, natural fabrics have made their way into the fashion landscape, and for good reason. Not only are these pieces minimizing the damage the process of manufacturing and wearing clothes can do to the environment, they are helping to secure the hope of a greener planet in each step of the apparel process. And of course they are fashionable, comfortable, and you can feel great wearing them, inside and out.

This look from Thakoon is a strong example of bold blouse and jacket pattern combination balanced with a classic cuffed black trouser. Each of these three easy pieces can mix seamlessly into any woman’s wardrobe, and while this look is modest and conservative in cut and fit, the fun pattern and bright poppy color exude confidence and and easy going attitude without sacrificing style.

In the past, a blouse is an item that has been relegated to being appropriate for stuffy, formal occasions and no-nonsense dressing. There is sure to be a blouse stuffed away in your closet somewhere, a piece you haven’t felt inspired to wear since your little sister’s fourth grade graduation last year. Just the word blouse makes you cringe.

It is now, in recent seasons, that the blouse has been reinvented. Throw out all preconceived notions and connotations associated with the word blouse. These genre bending pieces are technically called blouses, but they are the new blouses, the fun blouses, the serious blouses, and the stylish blouses.

The blouse, in all its newfound glory, is destined to be your new bestie!

The holiday season is officially upon us, commencing with none other than our beloved Thanksgiving meal. This historic feast represents the love and appreciation we have for our families, our relationship to the nation we live in, and how much we enjoy getting together to eat delicious food. But let’s be real. Thanksgiving, amongst all its wonderful heartfelt associations, really means the dawn of holiday season dressing.  When the office parties start and Church gatherings multiply over night, not only will you need more options, you will need festive, appropriate, beautiful outfits.

Before panic sets in, take a deep breath and start at the beginning….

The perfect balance of demure and daring comes in this ensemble from Milly NY.  A classic combination of a knee-length skirt and tuxedo style blouse gets a healthy dose of trend with patriotic hued ruffles and leopard print tights. Conservative in all the right ways, this look will take you from the office to a Sunday meeting to a business dinner with style and grace.

This modest  look from Lauren Moffatt doesn’t take the blouse to seriously and seasonal accessorizing is warm & cozy. A great fitting pant with a pair of heels keeps it city chic while a bow detail adds whimsy with feminine charm.
