Modest Fall Skirts and Dresses
These modest fall skirts and dresses offer coverage and style. I typically wear maxi dresses and skirts, but since I'm 5'2, sometimes a midi dress or skirt is practically a maxi on me. Most of these modest skirts and dresses will work for everyday we...

I love this sweet button front shirt dress. If you can't tell already from the other items on my lists, I LOVE light blue. I'm 5'2, so I'll buy this midi dress in a regular size so it will be a little longer on me, which is what I prefer.

This comfortable 100% cotton dress actually looks better on the women in the review images than it does on the model!

PRETTYGARDEN Pleated Maxi Dress with Pockets
Comfortable enough for around the house, but with more buttons done up and the waist tie in place, I can also wear this one to mass. It's a wonderful piece for the fall-transition period.

I'm cool-toned, so most fall colors don't look the best on me, but there is a sangria colored long-sleeved tee at this link that is perfect! It won't seem to pull the image, but it's there when you click the link. I love that these shirts aren't crop...
Women's Long Sleeve Crew Neck Shirt

These pants are comfortable for around the house or possibly even running errands. I love that I can pair them with the button down shirt that I've recently shared here. The two together gives me full coverage while allowing me to move comfortably.

Shoes for Fall
Close-toed shoes are my favorites year around. I love flats, and I don't wear stilettos or even kitten heels. If my shoes have a heel, I prefer a modest stacked heel that is flat and low-profile. Shoes that offer foot support without being showy or d...
These dress flats are simple, comfortable, and the soles keep me from slipping. They go well with most of my skirts and dresses and even elevate my outfit if I'm wearing pants.

These go great with pants or jeans and a sweater. They are super-comfortable and the heel is just about as high as I like to go. A perfect fall casual shoe for me!

These velvet Mary Jane ballet flats go well with denim skirts and dresses or pants for this fall. I love the navy ones with my favorite denim dress.
