While most modern clothing seems to support the idea that more exposed skin equates to more sex appeal, we think just the opposite. In fact, we’re going to set out to prove with these 10 outfits that it is possible to be hot without looking like a stripper.



Try coupling a long camisole underneath a cropped, tied blouse for a fun look that accentuates your curves without showing too much skin.



The perfect look for summer, this modest skirt is casual and comfortable, and looks especially sexy paired with a pair of sandals with a moderate heel. It’s the perfect fun, flirty modern clothing that manages to also be modest.



One of our favorite outfits, this extra long sleeveless blouse looks stunning with dark wash boot-cut jeans and an oversized belt. Yow!

This model shows that even a basic outfit instantly becomes hot with a little bit of sass and the right attitude.



As suitable for running the trails as it is for running errands, a lightweight hoodie offers some added sex appeal with an attached belt.



Although this is a modest dress by most standards, it’s bold color and fun, flowing hemline makes it a sexy ensemble.

Add some extra “oomph” without looking like a stripper with a fun V-neck or, like this blouse, a squared neck.

This outfit shows that if done correctly, the schoolgirl look can be both sexy and classy. A tailored jacket with white accents keeps it modest yet funky.

Simple and classic, a modest camisole and dark wash jeans are always a sexy choice.

 

This raglan blouse is light and airy, but features modest sleeves and a modest neckline for all ages and occasions.    

It seems like in Utah we have a couple weeks of cooler temps before the heat really hits. The summer weather always sneaks up on us, and when we try to find cute summer outfits the selection is totally picked over!

I was just at Anthropolgie and they still have a selection of light and breezy blouses and dresses. Thankfully their online selection lasts a bit longer than what you'll find in the store! Their Ballia Dress (pictured on the left below) has wonderful detail and in the back and it is open to show a little skin. A huge amount of their summer line has a bohemian look, and this is one look we are excited has come back strong. Their Pleated Petal Tank (pictured on the right) is perfect for hiding a bit of extra love in the tummy area and has such beautiful detail in the crocheted flowers.

You'll find the outfit pictured on the left below in the front window at Blend Fashions and our customers rave about it! Doesn't it look so light and breezy yet polished and pulled together? The undertease tops we carry are perfect as is for summer tops; you can layer one of their tank tops with a cami for a great look (pictured on the right below).

Forever 21 has come back strong and with some really great lines! Don't you remember shopping here back in the day while attending middle school? I have been a bit hesitant to visit the store again BUT I've heard so much about the place I finally stopped by...and I am so glad! Crochet is a big part of the bohemian look and their Fab Crochet Front Dress (pictured on the left below) has just the right amount of it and is only $15.50! The Satin Button Hem Top is another great find

You could even use it as a maternity top!



What summer outfits have you found lately?

We knew we had to carry Free People when we opened Blend Fashions. Free People has colorful, eccentric, creative designs and is renowned for the use of floral and faunal leitmotivs (i.e. a dominant recurring theme) throughout the line. The pieces are reminiscent of Boho-chic styles and are somewhat quirky, which is why we love their clothing!

Here is their story:   

Our customers love Free People because they are flattering for a variety of body types. And when you buy Free People you won't be wearing the same thing as everyone else. Every one of their pieces has a distinct personality and will complement your own.

These are our current favorites:

          Ballet Cardigan                   Printed Double V Top               Double Drape Tank 

We love talking about clothing-realted fashion here at Blend but we don't stop at clothing. We also enjoy checking out the latest hairstyles in the fashion world. One of today's hottest trends is the braided headband.

The Bohemian look is more popular than ever, and a Boho look wouldn't be complete with a coordinating hairstyle! We're sure you've noticed the braided headband but may not know how to recreated the look. Here's a video that does a great job explaining how to create this look.

If you love the brand Free People as much as we do you'll be excited to see how to style your hair in braids similar to the ones their catalog models wear.

We are the only retailer in Utah that carries PRVCY denim. We want to tell you all about their fabulous denim and what huge supporters we are of their wonderful company.

The owner of PRVCY Denim, Carolyn Jones, found the inspiration to take a "leap of faith" and find something that gave her true happiness. Her inspiration came during the last days of her mother's life, who passed away from breast cancer. She started this company to pay homage to her mother, Jean James. The "lifeline" design on the jeans represents her journey from "the story of complacency in her professional life to the tragedy of losing her mother to breast cancer, only to triumph through listening to the words of her mother to find a career with passion."

PRVCY Premium Denim donates 10% off all their proceeds to breast cancer awareness and free mammogram programs. What a wonderful company and what a beautiful message their lifeline represents:

Faith...that we can reach and teach the masses about early detection for breast cancer. Early detection gives us the best chances to successfully fight breast cancer.

Hope...that a cure for breast cancer is on the way. We will continue to do all we can to provide information concerning treatment to those who need it. We will also continue in our efforts to provide free mammograms to thousands of women across the country.

Love...for what we do. We are totally dedicated to creating the perfect denim. We will pour all of our love into every style, every fit, everyday.

"Statistics show that every 12 minutes a woman in America will die from complications associated with breast cancer," says Jones. "It is PrivacyWear's goal to end the lack of knowledge and help physicians and survivors find a cure." PrivacyWear provides free mammograms to uninsured women across the country, finding a facility in their neighborhood that will give them a speedy appointment.

PrivacyWear covers the full cost of the mammogram, including (if necessary) transportation to get to the appointment. "We are focused on an early detection program. If you find you have a lump in your breast early enough, your chance of recovery significantly increases," says Jones. "We also allow these women to take a friend for companionship, and then we follow the individual through the process. We like to go right into the community."

Our customers are sold on PRVCY Premium Denim as soon as they try on their first pair. It is love at first sight every time! They flatter every body type, hug at all the right places, are extremely slimming and very versatile.

We invite you to stop by Blend Fashions and try on a pair!

There are tons of ways to work Blend Fashions' clothing into your maternity wear wardrobe. Today our store manager Sarah is here to share a couple tips with us!

One great thing about Blend Fashions is we are able to accommodate everyone's fashion needs, including women in search of stylish maternity wear. I have heard many of my friends complain they can’t find any cute clothes to wear when they are pregnant, a common complaint here in Utah and elsewhere. At Blend we have a few members of our own family facing the same problem so we work daily to help them find a solution. Many of our tops feature the popular babydoll style and can be comfortably worn by anyone, including expectant moms. Another pregnant-friendly product we have in the store are our Mod Bod swimsuits. Thy can be worn before, during and after pregnancy. They are modest, comfortable and flattering no matter the body shape! ~Sarah

  Be sure to check back on Friday when we share our newest "vlog" on how to put together fabulous maternity clothing outfits using styles from Blend.
