I asked Mom how I looked this morning, in my long black skirt and pink, lace-trimmed shirt.
"Nice," she said with a rather lackluster demeanor that betrayed the fact she wished I was in jeans* and one of my "reimagined" band shirts. (read: ripped up and re-sewn.)
She turned to put her earrings on, looked me over again in the mirror, and said, in a rather funny British accent, "Quite modest."
I just grinned. Modest, after all, is what we aim for.
(* I have nothing against pants as a modest option for girls, it's a matter of personal opinion and conviction to me. But I myself simply cannot stand to wear pants! I haven't found a comfortable pair in years, even at plus sized stores.)

Yup, no matter what you wear, someone will see you as overly modest and someone will see as immodest. As you said, it is a personal decision.
