Modesty. Call it a personal belief or a personal preference, but it's something I strive for. However, I don't think that modesty necessarily has to go hand in hand with frumpy. I believe there is a tastefulness, an elegance, an art form to modesty, and I support companies and designers who share that ideal. I'm a fan of Down East Basics for this very reason; they embody all those things.
I was particularly struck by some of the pieces in their latest collection and walked away with a box full of beautiful pieces that are so lovely and feminine, I couldn't resist them. This Ethereal Moment Skirt in Peony was the first and it is absolutely as dreamy in person as it was online. And the top? Well, I think every woman needs a thin b&w striped top like this. They really create that classic French vibe.
