CLOSED: Modesty is Fashionable when it's Mikarose(Christmas Carnival Giveaway #33)

This post is a 'Christmas Carnival' feature...The Carnival of Giveaways (or should I say Christmas prezzies?) on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from November 1- Mid Dec 2010.
For a list of all the live giveaways visit 'The Christmas Carnival Center'

Let me be honest. It's not always easy to find a dress or a top that is modest, fashionable and affordable...all under the same breath. Somehow "Reveal" is the mantra for many designers and sadly in my dictionary it's just not "Cool"!

It's so refreshing to know that there are clothing companies like Mikarose that proudly showcase their collection of modest dresses, tops and skirts without sacrificing on style.



If given a choice I can wear my black trousers with a pretty top to church, formal events or to dinners. I'm always the most comfortable in the same and with Bunny Boo on my hip most times, I just find the overall look put together, classy and convenient. So naturally when asked to pick something to review, my fashion antennae immediately picked out this beautiful Turquoise buttoned down top.



I love the pleated tapers in the front and the slightly puffed up sleeves. What's great about this stretch cotton top is the fabric is thick enough to wear minus an undershirt inside and is comfortable enough to wear even on an incredibly hot, sultry summer day. The color of the top in the photograph honestly does no justice to the rich regal look it actually has.

If you're looking for dresses on a budget, don't forget to check out Mikarose's Clearance section. There are some pretty dresses slashed down in price, making these great buys especially since there will be more than just a handful of events you will have to attend over the following month.
With a Mikarose piece, you can rest assured that you will be able to blend into an everyday event as well as into a corporate party. Afterall, to them....Modesty IS a Fashion Statement!


Buy it:

You can buy a Turquoise Button Down shirt for 34.99 US$.

(All purchases above 25 US$ will be eligible for free shipping till Christmas day)


Win it:

  94. I just got a job after being laid off for 18 months so would like a new shirt.
    style #3007
    Our cowlneck top is perfect for layering under the season's must-have cardigans, vests, and blazers.
