given of Virginia by the first adventurers, made many found of removing such a

I have heard people say "you dress very modest"
ReplyDeleteI don't think modest would be used here. Modest is usually used to mean showing regard for the decencies of behavior (dictionary.com). Modish on the other hand is used to mean something current in fashion, or stylish (dictionary.com).
