Back-to-School Shopping Help

Things are very busy at my house getting ready for five of my six kids who are going back to school in a few days. Back-to-school shopping is one of our favorite things to do. I have four girls and we have a ball going out together and picking out new clothes.

My girls love Aeropostale, Hollister and Blend Fashions. As their mom it's nice to have created a product--my mod bod undershirts--I know will make any piece of clothing modest. If it is sleeveless, a little too short or a little too low cut it is immediately modest and acceptable to wear with a mod bod underneath!


For example, this top by Hollister is darling but without a mod bod tank underneath it would be to0 low cut and would not have enough coverage on top. Using mod bod makes me worry less as their mother but makes them happy to be able to wear the current fashions.



This dress was another favorite! They loved the detail around the neckline and bottom and it was actually long enough, but no way would it be acceptable to wear to school with the style of the back and top. Throw a cap-sleeve mod bod underneath and it has all the coverage it needs!





This tunic top IS modest but it features another issue I have with a lot of teen clothing. Lots of them are not warm enough for fall and winter! I have noticed teen clothing for the colder seasons use really thin material. They are dying to wear their favorite tops and head to school freezing when they do! By placing a mod bod long-sleeve top underneath it will keep your kids warm at school without keeping them from wearing their favorite tops.

At our house we have a brand new baby and my oldest son has been an angel helping out with the laundry. Another fantastic thing about mod bod is its high quality construction and fabric is such that it is not easily ruined in the wash. So while having him help out is great, I don't have to worry about him ruining the tops!

Hopefully this has helped all the moms and teens heading out for some back-to-school shopping. Use mod bod to make the trip go more smoothly; you don't have to fight about whether things are modest or not when they know they need to wear a mod bod underneath to make it work!

The cowl neck top is a great summer piece and is perfect with the a-line baroque patterned skirt pictured above. You can also pair the cowl neck with a pair of fabulous denim jeans and layer it with a modbod cami with lace, which makes it even more fun!

My ruffle tanks are another fun item you can find at Blend Fashions. I love the vibrant colors and they are perfect for all seasons. Once again you can pair it with a fabulous pair of denim or my black pencil skirt.

I love these banded cardigans I designed paired with my lace-front camis. The cardigan has a deep v-neck so you can really show off the beautiful lace in the cami.

Be sure to check out these fashions in person at Blend Fashions in Pleasant Grove, Utah. If you are somewhere else in the country be sure to check them out online!

Using ModBod to Help You Layer Correctly


A huge part of our line is all about layering and all of our high-quality modbod basics are indispensable classics so we want to give you detailed tips on how to layer! Layering can help you transition between seasons, ensure you are covering enough skin, have a very slimming affect and allow you to play around with different fashions.

The bottom layer needs to be a LIGHT layer. You don't want to stifle yourself or have your bottom layer too thick; it will be uncomfortable and make you look bulky. This is why our modbods are perfect! The snug-but-comfortable sleeves keep your undergarments covered and a slightly higher neckline covers cleavage. Quality material and stitching in addition to our Perfect Fit keeps it in place.

You can do so many things with your next layer like playing around with colors, lengths and tops. For summer you can put a white cami on the bottom and a colored cap-sleeve on top! For spring you can put a colored cap-sleeve underneath and add a fun, flowy white top over so a bit of color peeks through. For fall you can pair one of our Perfect V-Necks with a stylish vest, and in winter you can use any of our undershirts (depending on how cold it is) under all your cute winter sweaters!

Have fun! Layering is very flattering when done the right way and using
modbod will help you feel confident you are layering correctly! So dress up your outfit with accessories, scarves, jewelry...play around with lots of options to see what looks best. Show off YOUR personal style!
