Crazy for Old Navy!

Modest Shopping

My goal on this blog is to highlight amazing modest clothing options that I love.

I love giving kudos to stores who actually sell clothing that goes against the trends and Old Navy is receiving a special thank you from MysteryinModesty!

Now, I'm not advocating every item in their store, but there are a few reasons why I want to honor Old Navy.

Dresses


There is nothing more feminine than a flowy summer sundress. My closet is full of them! Old Navy has become my go-to store for casually adorable dresses. I am short, so most of their dresses hit or cover my knees. Although their options are almost entirely sleeveless or spaghetti strapped, they have a wide selection of sweaters in colors that match their dresses.

This chiffon dress is currently on my wish list. I already own the purple sweater that matches.

It hits about half-way down my knee because of my size and the neckline is very feminine. Act now and its only $25.00 during their current dress sale. Hate to say it but I'm waiting to find it on the clearance rack! 

Swimwear 

I plan on dedicating an entire post (or perhaps a series) on the oh so difficult topic of swimwear, but I would just like to thank Old Navy for having some great one-piece and tankini options, along with countless cover-ups! 

Most stores have very limited non-bikini options, but Old Navy has a variety of great swim pieces.

Wanting to avoid the **cling** factor? This is a basic, loose-fitting one-piece. Although it still rings in at $35.00, it may be worth the investment. 

Need tummy-control for a long torso? This ruched design is great! It comes at the price of $44.94.  

I'm not a huge fan of my thighs, so the bikini-bottoms on these can make me feel a little uncomfortable. No problem! Follow this link to check out their fold over jersey-knit skirt (It comes in a million designs and colors!) These skirts even hit below the knee and make great out-of-the-water cover-ups. 

Want something to wear in the water? These shorts are great to add a little cover! 

At only $15.00 the modesty and confidence these add is certainly worth it! 

Check it All Out!

There's my two cents for today! Check out www.oldnavy.com to see what other beautiful dresses and swimsuits they have for the hot summer days ahead!

Class of 2012!

Graduation Time!

Are you graduating this year?! Go class of 2012! Whether from high school or college, here are some stylish options from local department stores. Unfortunately, they would not let me save the pictures to insert into the blog, but you are one click away from a great dress!

Note: The “Fancy Frills” dresses are more expensive, scroll down to “Casual Crisp” for finds under $30.

Fancy Frills

If you are a girly girl here are some great modest options for graduation day:

Paired with a cute black shrug, this floor-length dress is a gorgeous option. ($77.00)

This next dress hits right above the knee and the “One-shoulder” makes a shrug a bit more difficult to use. However, if you don’t mind covering up the strap, it is an adorable find.

Casually Crisp

Some girls prefer a more laid back look for a fire on the beach. These sundresses can be worn all summer long and are much more affordable.

Here is another Kohl’s pick. ($29.99)

This option comes is a variety of patterns (I own the rose/black pattern) and hits right at your knee. With a cami underneath and a shrug, it covers everything. It is also extremely comfortable. I have honestly never found a dress with such soft fabric! ($23.99)

For only $25 this maxi dress is a fun, simple choice. A cami can disguise the lower-neckline and you could go with or without a shrug due to the thicker straps. They suggest dramatic jewelry for an evening out! Great idea!

Old Navy has amazing dresses this season. It is worth spending an hour on their website checking out all their options. They even have lightweight sweaters in an array of colors, so if you want your shoulders covered you are in luck!

This was my personal pick for graduation this year. It hits below the knee and coupled with their white sweater it is a fun dress that can be re-worn a million times! At $22.00, it’s a steal!
