Dress for Yourself

“Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, and of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they’d just walk around naked at all times.”

-Betsey Johnson

Wedding Season

05-11-15-Red-Dress

Wedding season is starting to hit and I’m excited to say I have a few coming up. I find them to be utterly romantic. It’s that special moment where two people declare their love for each other in front of their friends and family. I always find it an honor to be invited to share in those special occassions.

It’s also an opportunity to find a fun dress! Summer clothing lines are starting to come out and I’m on the hunt for a couple of winners. Since it’s full day event in most cases, it’s important to find a dress that breaths throughout the day. I love silk as much as the next girl but in the hot summer heat, you are not going to be able to last until the dancing starts. My requirements are something with a bit of a full skirt, cotton or spandex type of material and a fun pattern or interesting shape. This dress is one I would wear in a heartbeat. It’s fun, light and can go all night!

Jump into Spring

Why not jump into spring with a jumpsuit? They are very hot right now, appearing everywhere from runways, red carpets, and to your fellow shoppers on the street. It’s a fashionable, acceptable onesie that you can wear after you turn 5. It’s an easy way to look elegantly pulled together while feeling comfortable and breezy. I’m on the hunt to find a good one to add to my closet.

Are you trying out the jumpsuit?

Prima Ballerina

 

Can’t you see this girl either in a ballet or a ballerina after waiting to greet her fans? Simple, fashionable and beautifully draped, that’s how I always imagine they dress at all times. Theres’ something about a tulle skirt that brings alive your imagination and the twirling moves ballerinas are so famous for.

Slouchy Casual

Weekends were build for brunches, TV marathons and casual clothes. It’s a chance to recharge your batteries and kick off those heels. I love dressing up to go out, grab lunch or see a friend for coffee. However it’s those ratty clothes you never see that are my favorite. Oversized Wellesley sweatpants? Check. Old sports shirts? Check. Beat up sneakers? Definitely in my closet!

I’m a big believer in dressing for who you want to be and putting your best foot forward at work. It’s also important to remember that sometimes the best foot is that of a couch potato who will order take out all weekend.
