Clothing is one of the strongest forms of personal expression we have. It is a basic need of course, but very early on becomes a way for children to display their personality and feelings, a practice that carries through to adulthood.

In honor of Mother’s Day, and to remember one of the most recognized women in fashion, Lilly Pulitzer, whose clothes are the quintessential display of personal expression, we show you four ways to express your love for your children through fun, bright, and beautiful clothes.

Spring Fashion Trends for ModestyThe latest trends in modest fashion and the best wardrobe style tips this spring.

Spring fashion trends and looks for modest clothing

If you have been shopping in the past few years, chances are you own one or more samples of our Spring trend highlights. Peplum, stripes, prints, lightweight leather, bold colors, and lace have made their presence known in seasons past, in fact we featured stripes and prints in our Spring trends article from 2011.

The prevalence of these trends has turned them into seasonal staples that carry the ability to shape your wardrobe into a modern Springtime repertoire of must have pieces. These trends may not be groundbreakingly new, but nothing in fashion ever is. It’s the evolution of modest style, the recycling and repurposing of trends and looks that keep fashion’s landscape dynamic and interesting, and thus your closet!

Like It. Love It. Leave It.TMIs this modest dress Spring’s perfect piece or a collage of misplaced peonies?

Nothing says Spring like a dreamy floral print dress in silk and organza. This look from Lela Rose embodies a feminine shape in a modest cut that highlights classic beauty and flatters any shape. Is the impressionistic print making you want to don this dress and throw a garden party luncheon? Or are the poppies and hydrangeas giving you early Spring allergies?

Sunday BestThis outfit is certainly modest in fashion, but is the skirt length and bare leg appropriate church clothing?

This week, La Petite Anglaise styles a look shot by Craig Arend, in response to Suzy Menkes’ scathing article about the fashion blogger circus going on outside the runways at Fashion Week. Suzy, and other experts, clearly have “blogger-beef” for good reason, but fashion blogs like La Petite Anglaise, are great style inspiration everyday when planning your wardrobe.

We’re loving this bright, bold look for Sunday service. The contrast of chartreuse, deep blue and rich salmon grab the eye- without distracting from the pulpits message.

Would you wear this outfit to church?

Billed as separates, the tapered cuffed cargo and roomy blazer make for a chic, uniform look when put together with simple layering and accessories. Given the relaxed nature of this outfit, does the shirt feel a bit too low? If so, how would you give this modern office look a modest update?

Variations on a theme takes root in this beige perfect look from Totokaelo’s superbly curated online boutique. Summer’s go-to linen blazer from Raquel Allegra tops off Acne’s straight leg chino and two-tone melrose pump, while A Peace Treaty’s scarf is big enough to double as an impromptu blanket for a picnic in the park. Though this ensemble carries enough inherent style as is, it leaves room for a bit of accessorizing. What would you change about this outfit to better match your personal style?

Modest or Not?From the front, this dress represents the picture of modesty. From the back, there’s room for interpretation. What say you, modest fashion bloggers?

A bright floral print on this structured piece offers comfort, flattery, and trend in a perfect Spring look from Milly. Though eye-catching, this dress leaves a place for minimal accessories, as it’s shown here styled with a simple tan leather belt and bag. The cut in the front provides modest coverage for work, church, or a weekend wedding. Yet, spin around, and you’re faced with a lower dip that might not be appropriate for certain personal comfort levels, or specific events. How do you feel about this dress’ duality?
