Real-Life Modest Style for a Full Summer Day

Look polished and feel comfortable while staying CHiC this summer. Read on for an effortless, modest summer outfit idea.

Today was one of those real-life mom-on-the-move kind of days. Between carpooling the kids to summer camp, working from home, heading to the chiropractor, and squeezing in a lash appointment, I knew I needed something comfortable, breathable, and still pulled together.

That’s the beautiful thing about this 31 Days of Style challenge: it’s not about dressing for a photoshoot, it’s about dressing for the life I’m actually living. Some days are slower and more reflective; others are filled with errands, appointments, and multitasking. But no matter what the calendar holds, I’m showing up as the best version of myself: rooted in grace, clothed in dignity, and styled with purpose.

When I started this challenge, I committed myself and God to steward this season well. That includes how I show up physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Getting dressed each morning is a small but sacred act. It sets the tone. It says, I’m worth showing up for. It reminds me that even during a busy schedule, I don’t have to lose myself.

If you’re a mom, a working woman, or just someone trying to keep it together, this challenge is for you, too. It’s about reclaiming your confidence, rediscovering your creativity, and remembering that beauty and grace can meet you right in the middle of your everyday routine.

Modest Summer Outfit Breakdown

There’s something powerful about an all-black outfit. It’s classic, confident, and effortlessly CHiC. For Day 2, I leaned into a monochromatic moment with this one-and-done jumpsuit that makes getting dressed simple and intentional.

Here’s what I wore today:

• Black wide-leg jumpsuit for ease and flow
• Minimal tan sandals for everyday comfort
• Louis Vuitton Speedy 20 for a pop of feminine luxury
• Gold bangles + signature glasses to elevate the look
• Short pixie + confidence as the crown

Style Notes about This Modest Summer Outfit:

This modest summer outfit look is a reminder that you don’t have to overthink style to be stylish. When in doubt, go back to basics—but add your signature sparkle. The wide-leg jumpsuit gives movement and shape while still being modest and breathable for summer.

Style Tip: Monochrome outfits always feel put-together. You can repeat the same color head to toe, then play with accessories and texture to add interest.

Mini Devotional:

“But let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit…” — 1 Peter 3:4

Beauty begins on the inside, but there’s nothing wrong with letting your outer appearance reflect the peace and poise within. Today, I got dressed as a reminder that my confidence comes from Christ—not clothes—but I’m allowed to enjoy both.

Closing Prayer:

God, thank You for the simplicity of today. Help me walk in quiet confidence, knowing that who I am in You will always be enough. Amen.
