So Victoria’s Secret isn’t quite known for dresses, much less ‘modest dressing,’ but actually there are a few dresses worth trying out. With Fall just around the corner, deep colors like this deep purple, in a modest, below the knee length, makes this jersey dress a comfortable winner for fall:
Leopard Print Court Shoe in the style of Gwen Stefani
It is terribly difficult to pull off wearing leopard prints. Fortunately, accessories make it easy to add a punch to any outfit. I love these leopard heels that would look wonderful with an easy, black dress. Every woman needs to own a perfect fallback black dress that is a no-fail every time. Here’s one I like with some center detailing:
1950s Paisley Dress with Shrug Jacket
This vintage dress would look lovely worn outdoors in spring. The paisley is elegant and feminine, and the shrug balances out the prints. (Item is no longer available but site offers other great vintage pieces)
BCBG Max Azria Pinstripe Shirtdress
This shirt dress makes me think of Sunday brunch with friends in springtime, in someone’s backyard, underneath sprawling vines in a trellis, surrounded by greens and inviting flowers from the garden. What a picture!

… but dark colored shine is usually okay. When you wear light-colored shiny clothes, you exaggerate that part of your body. It’s very hard to pull off shiny light clothes, but some manage! (Glamour May 2005)
Shiny clothes done right: Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman
With more women retiring and leaving the workplace, women will find more time to entertain and spend time with their family and friends, bringing back the traditional dinner party!
What frock to wear?!
The look is low-key but ultra classy.
My favorite summer dinner-party dresses sit below the knee and are ultra-feminine.
