Now that Fall is quickly approaching, my style is changing. I mean, it still feels like Summer, but I’m ready for the cooler temps. This dress form outfit is a perfect pre-Fall outfit. I paired this fitted denim shirt with an olive/brown-colored belted skirt. I rolled the sleeves up to give it a casual feel and stacked a few black and white marble-colored bangles on one sleeve. As for footwear, I would pair this outfit with a some knee-high boots. I also like the idea of heels with this outfit, but they would have to be the right pair. Here […]

Charming Charlie had Me at Navy & Green

I am attending a blogger conference in August in Los Angeles and wanted to get a couple of low maintenance dresses. I have some shift dresses that I plan on taking, but they are more day dresses. I wanted something a little dressier. Once Sunday afternoon, when my husband and I went to the mall, I walked into Charming Charlie and found this silky soft dress. It is not something I would normally buy, but I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone (i.e., black dresses, black jeans, black shirts, etc.). This is the front of the dress. This […]

This tree (below) shows how you can style it with a simple piece of fabric around the bodice, and […]

Now I can be a “wanna be fashionista in the making” because I got a sewing machine for Christmas from my husband and my parents! I AM SO EXCITED! Ok… I haven’t actually taken it out of the box yet, but this weekend I have some major plans for that sewing machine… I wanna make a dress! I wanna hem up […]

Dress Form Outfit #51

I didn’t get a Dress Form Outfit posted last week, but I was busy getting everything ready for Christmas. And this week’s dress form outfit is full of holiday color! I have been wanting a pair of green jeans and I found the perfect pair at Forever 21! The tank top is also from Forever 21 and the white sweater is from Banana Republic. The peep-toe booties, which I bought from a friend at work, are from Lane Bryant. Now if only I had a bright red scarf, this outfit would scream “Merry Christmas!” And since today is Christmas Eve, […]
