Make sure to balance brights with other solid colors. White is always a good way to prevent too many color clashes. Also, MINT is the color of spring and summer–think mint ice cream!
2. DO: Pearls

Love it! Awesome and modest!
Ok, now I see them. How can I delete my comment/s?
I <3 this list! I would've liked to see some shoes for summer though!
Me too! Here are some good ideas I can think of off the back of my heead: wedges, gladiator-style sandals, flip flops, slip-on sneakers, print shoes, slip-ons, Toms, etc.
yeah i havent seen anything about shoes at all. But i want to.

Coral and mint are the two biggest colors this season. and theyre both colors that come in many different shades and look great on anyone or any skin tone
I don’t really care what’s in style most of the time. I just go with what I think is classy and cute. But some of this is really adorable. The black and white stripey outfit is BEAUTIFUL! And my swimsuit is just like that one except it’s solid blue. Awesome stuff!
I <3 flowers and ribbons. Maybe not all the way around my head in a headband but a good sized one on a cilp for my ponytail is fun
I will definitely do the pearls.
I’m totally for the wild nails! I’ve had an odd obsession with nail polish lately anyway, so that’ll be fun!
These are awesome! Thanks!
XOXO
I will simply have to try the hair styles and make my own flower headbands. :^)
I think that the shorts on the model of the “longer” shorts are too short. They are not long at all. My shortest shorts go to my knee. That’s the way that they will always be and stay.
Other than that, I will use those! They’re very cute
I hope that you will keep posting these fashion tips because I’m fashion challenged…
Thank you!
I agree tht the models shorts are too short!!!
Where can I find a vintage/Marilyn Monroe swimsuit? I’ve been looking everywhere but the only one’s I’ve found (online) are so expensive!
I got a vintage (style, it’s not actually vintage) one piece @ forever21 for $20.
This jade who posted before me is not me. repeat, not me.
Cute! I love pearls and braids
While I was reading this my hair was already braided like those pictures haha and I was going to wear bright colors and prints tonight anyways! Guess i’m in style and didn’t even know it
Haha. I know exactly what you mean. I do the exact same thing.
I always look at what’s in style just for fun and find out I already do that in some way.
I love this list! It’s very cute. I love the shorts, especially the color. So cool!

i love it <3 if you need me, ill be out buying some cute but modest things ;]
stripes!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 i love stripes!!!!!!! i'm going to be wearing alot of those this summer (it's a mime thing!)
Bring on the don’ts! Haha
I love this, I’m totally in to the style of long shorts, pearls, sunglasses, stripes, and one piece swimsuit. (I learned being covered up by a one piece is totally fine!)
LOVE the modest fashions!!!

Loved it!!:) I also liked the Don’ts Part 2…some of the pictures were funny to see that people/celebs actually go out in public like that!!! (short shorts, and low cut tops, and coverups) Be modest, remember you are representing your Creator!!:)
Love these trends!I wasn’t sure what to wear for the summer
