Modish

Mark your calendars! In ONE week we will celebrate our anniversary…

Fourteen years ago, we opened our doors in downtown Decorah. Since then, you’ve trusted us with first dates, weddings, big trips, and every ordinary Tuesday in between. This birthday is really a thank you to you, our Trendsetters.

Join us Friday and Saturday, November 6 and 7, to celebrate.

🎁 Spend $100 and take home a genuine suede wristlet as our gift to you.

🍂 Shop the season’s newest arrivals, including faux fur jackets and wraps, bandana scarves, and the cozy layers we can’t stop styling.

We’ll be ready with honest opinions, full outfits, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. We can’t wait to see you.

📍 Modish, 217 W Water St, Decorah
🕙 Friday 10 to 5 · Saturday 10 to 4

A moment of appreciation for Jessica.

She was one of our very first customers. Then last November, when I was running on empty, she walked through the door and offered to roll up her sleeves and jump in.

She’s been here ever since.

She styles you with such care, and she keeps thinking about you long after you’ve left. She wonders how you’re coping after a loss, or how the celebration of your big win felt. She’s the reason every new arrival makes it from the backroom to the floor unpacked, steamed and tagged. She brings order to every corner of this shop, and on the days I needed it most, she quietly held me up.

Some people show up for you. Jessica showed up and stayed.

Thank you, friend. I’m so grateful you’re part of Modish, and part of my life.

Next time you’re in, tell her what you’re celebrating. And leave her some love in the comments. 🤍

You RSVP’d yes. Now what? 🥂

Black tie, cocktail attire, or “formal but it’s in a barn.” Whatever the invitation says, show up in something that feels like you, just dressed up for the occasion.

Shop wedding guest looks before they’re gone.🖤

I could not be more proud of this team-Annette, Patty, Jessica, Jane (and unable to attend: Sadia, Niki, Ava & Sam) for being honored with the Customer Service Award at last week’s Annual Chamber Business Awards Event.

I have always said I get to work with the best people-meaning our team AND you!

Its truly humbling that you continue to support Modish and the families it represents. It’s a privilege to get to wake up and do something we love every day.

Thank you all. We couldn’t do it without YOU. 🤍

xx,
Stephanie & Mark

We grew up being told what to wear. Skirt: too short. Pants: too tight. Shirt: too revealing.

Don’t walk alone. Park under a light post. Don’t send the wrong signal.

And it still happened to too many of us.

Nearly half of women in the U.S. have experienced some form of sexual violence. One in 5 has experienced r**e or attempted r**e. That’s not a statistic, that’s your friend, your sister or the woman in the fitting room next to you.

Every spring, Luther College hosts the “What were you wearing” exhibit. It displays outfits like the ones survivors were wearing when they were assaulted. Sweatpants. Work clothes. A child’s top. Pajamas. Ordinary things.

If you’ve never seen it, go. Take a friend. Bring your sons and daughters.

It is never about the clothes. It was never about us.

If you need someone to talk to, RAINN is free and confidential, 24/7. 1-800-656-HOPE or rainn.org

🤍 Wear what you want. It’s your body.

I thought we would start with you!

After operating with a smaller but amazing team for quite some time, I am finally ready to begin the process of finding the next people who will help shape the future Modish experience alongside me.
