Two Different Looks. One FABULOUS Dress!

Some may say that a dress is a dress. You put it on. It looks great. And you are out the door. FABULOUS! But, I have heard that some ladies opt for purchasing a skirt instead of a dress because they feel like they can style the skirt many different ways, where a dress will look the same every time you put it on. This can sometimes be true. UNLESS you use accessories, make-up, and your hair style to change the look! See my photo's below to see how I changed the look of this TALBOTS paisley sheath by changing my accessories, make-up and hair:
As you can see the look on the left is more retro and the look on the right is more glam. In the fall, you may see me wearing this dress with black tights, high black boots and a denim jacket.
How would you wear this dress? Please share!

Love how you juxtaposed the two looks. You asked how we'd wear the dress. Both of your shoes are great. For a very modern look, I'd wear these shoes. They are on sale, so the price is right! Platforms and heels, but "do-able" for me for a few hours.

put your hair in a french twist, wear a headscarf like grace kelly in to catch a thief, add a motorcycle jacket/or some leather jacket and slip into a pair of flat sling back shoes.

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
