psst…head over to enter a second giveaway on The Modest Mom blog!
ends 8/5/11
The Modest Mom offers cute, fashionable clothing for moms, both maternity and regular. I had the privilege of reviewing one of Caroline’s skirts in the past, and now I’m the happy owner of her latest discovery, a layering shell.
I never knew I needed one of these until she added it to her shop, and now I wonder why I didn’t already own 2 or 3! This shell is the perfect solution to the problem of today’s necklines, which are almost universally designed to show off what some of us want to cover: our cleavage. We live in a very warm climate, so I love being able to layer without adding too much bulky insulation.
The fabric is very lightweight and breathable, and the neckline leaves nothing to chance. It’s a little higher than I prefer, but I really appreciate that I don’t have to watch my neckline even when I bend down to talk to a little one, or lean over a table.
This shell is going to greatly expand my wardrobe, allowing me to add many cute and trendy tops that I couldn’t consider wearing before!
The Modest Mom is having a July sale now, but like the month of July the sale is ending soon. Nearly everything in the shop is discounted, so hurry!

Wow, that shell is perfect. I have always liked the modest mom, but never purchased, I need to plan my budget so I can get a few things!
I love the idea of the shell. I agree that most clothing today leaves very little to the imagination and I prefer to dress more modestly. I hope I win it!
I have never owned anything from the modest mom, but I would love to. The skirts are fabulous, and I would love the shell as I have trouble with finding shirts that aren’t too low! Thanks for the opportunity to participate!

I must have that shell!
I love Modest Moms skirts that are long enough to cover ya while still looking stylish and cute!
In a world determined to walk around half naked, I’m thankful for companies like The Modest Mom who are helping like-minded women dress modestly yet retain a sense of fashion not frump!
I have a passion for modesty! I wish they wouldn’t make shirts so low cut and revealing, these shells are so nice looking. I have had my eye on them for a while now. I would love to win one!
I appreciate the Modest Mom’s practical and modest clothing line, as well as the recent tips on her blog for going from frumpy to fabulous:-).

I LOVE this idea! I have a gazillion (well, maybe only half a gazillion) tanks to wear under things and sometimes they are hot or too thick for the top I’m wearing. Seriously going to look into purchasing these! Added “Modest Mom” to my list of likes on FB.
Like you on FB, too.
I signed up for your updates, even though I’m already subscribed to your feed, too. Really can’t have too much Life in a Shoe. I believe that is at least the second hint I’ve seen that there might be another baby on the way. Or are you just gearing up for the possibility? Am I just reading in too much?
I love the Modest Mom because her skirts are cute AND modest. (plus I love her blog!)
I love the rainbow skirt. I would like to start wearing skirts most of the time, but it has been so hard to find any that can we worn everyday.
I love Modest mom – I love wearing skirts on the weekends when i am home with the kids – it’s a little hard to wear skirts at work in the children’s hopsital. Though I am thinking I need some of these tops to help out with some shirts.

I am in love with the rainbow skirt! I’m saving up for it and have been waiting for a sale. I, too, want to try these shells – they look GREAT for nursing!

I love how long all their skirt choices are – it’s hard to find truly long skirts anymore!
I love the help with modesty. It is hard to find sources for modest help, such as the shells.

Shells are so useful. I like Modest Mom’s integrity for truly modest clothing, as well as some good designs (I love the Rainbow Striped Denim Skirt).
I speak for myself and for three of my five girls when I say that the shell looks wonderful! (The other two girls are blessed to be young enough to easily find modest tops thus far.) We’ve been making do with tank tops and camisoles which are often rather too warm.

I love the shell. Being from FL myself I also appreciate when you can do layers with the least amount of heat.

I love The Modest Mom custom made maternity skirts! Last year I bought a cute black one with a ruffle and it’s my go-to church skirt.

I love these modest shells! They look more light-weight than layering shirts…good for summer months.

I like the skirts on Modest Mom. I don’t usually wear long skirts like that, but they would be perfect for teaching since I’m up and down all day.

I will remember this website for those that are in their childbearing years. For those, like me, who are most likely beyond their childbearing years, the shells are great! I’d love to try one!
I only just started finding these sites, and I love them! Modest Mom is a great site and though I only just found it this morning, I am already doing and thinking differently.
What I like about the Modest Mom is her blog. I also like her nursing covers.

I really like this layering shell. It is so hard to find modest clothing these days, so I really appreciate all the choices Modest Mom offers.
I am also a subscriber to your blog.
I like the higher neckline. I have been on the lookout for two years for thin camisoles that have that neckline and I have only found two (at thrift stores). This would be great.
I wish I had found modest mom when I was pregnant! Looks like those days are behind me now, but I will certainly pass on the website to my younger friends. Thanks for offering a prize; hope I win! Love getting your newsletter!
I love their skirts: LONG enough and versatile dress up or down.
I love this! I have seen them on her website, but have no purchased one yet. The women in my family are well endowed and it is very difficult to find things that are not turtlenecks, but still high enough to cover everything. Even most tank tops that could be worn underneath are not high enough. I am thrilled to find someone who is making it easier for us to be modest!
I like that she is offering these shells. I’ve been looking for something like this.

I really like the modest mom site and blog. I appreciated her teachings and views on modest, as they are alot like my own. She also offers very tasteful clothing that’s not only modest but attractive.
What a blessing the Modest Mom website is. Clothing that is pleasing to God and allows us to be stylish. Love it!!
I like The Modest Mom because of Mrs. Allen’s sweet personality. She is so sweet! I love all of her things.

Modesty is lost in today’s world. Thank you for helping us all out!!
I love the skirts, especailly the denim with the blue ruffle on the bottom. I’m very active and find long skirts help me feel less worried about the breeze, or kneeling down to work with a child.
I love the double ruffle maternity skirt, even though I do not have need of one right now
. I didn’t see a non-maternity version, but that would be great to see on there.
I just love the Modest Mom’s store. This is my favorite item…I fell in love with it.

I love that their products are modest and attractive. That is so hard to find sometimes.
Would love a shell like this. It’s nice to have something light and breathable underneath so you can be modest without roasting in the warm weather!
I am on your list!
What do I like about here? She makes clothes. She’s mdoest. She’s a mom. What’s not to like?
But more specifically, this top. Awesome!
So nice to see modesty combined with good looks. Seems that much of what is out there is either/or. The top looks like a great core piece.
I love the rainbow skirt!! I wish I would have found her site when I was pregnant. I could never find I good maternity skirt!

I like how the Modest Mom carries maternity skirts that are long. I am tall and it is hard to find maternity skirts that are cut long enough for my standards. They are all cut for the mom who is either 5′ 3″ or I guess wants to flaunt what should be kept covered!

I love the long skirts! And I wear a tank under almost every shirt that I own so this shell would be a wonderful addition!!

I love the flexibility of this shell! I sure wish there were more modest clothes out there!
i am always looking for new ways to stay covered without lots of layers. This would be fun to try
I love being able to find layering tops there! I have a bigger chest and it’s nice to find something like this that allows me to wear shirts w/o looking immodest (even what would be modest on others, doesn’t always look so on me).
I love that all the clothes are modest – seriously LOVE that

I would love to get a few skirts from the Modest Mom at some point – I love that they are cute even while being modest at the same time – I just recently noticed the layering shells on the website and would love to try one of those too.
Ruffle Skirt looks good!
I like the fact you don’t have to question whether the items are modest or not… They are very conservative. I also like some of her fabric selections.
I love Modest Mom’s skirts, they’re ruffly and comfy
I would LOVE this shell. I live near Houston and it’s HOT HOT HOT! I hate layering, but this looks perfect!

I didn’t know about The Modest Mom before, but I checked it out and it has great posts and that shell is the best idea ever!!
ps. I did all four things.
I like the unique styles that Modest Mom carries, and especially that they are great for modesty!

I love that the shell would let me layer without showing cleavage! I have tanks to go under my tops, but my postpartum breastfeeding chest doesn’t quite fit modestly in them anymore.

SO glad to see maternity skirts! I have the hardest time finding those.
I love her skirts & I have been interesting in this layering undershirt ever since she mentioned that she found a supplier for them.
