Modesty, but Make it Fashion (some encouragement for my high school beauties)

The more I study fashion (whether it's timeless classics, fleeting trends, or personalized style), the more I discover just how many modest options there are.

Things I Have Learned This Week

1. Blogging is not my whole life. No matter how big I get, no matter how many brands want to work with me, I never "have" to do this. This morning I almost spent a lot of money I don't have on a photo shoot until my mom helped me decide to cancel (and yes, …
