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 […]
Dress Form Outfit #47
This week’s dress form outfit is what I consider to be a “casual work to date night” outfit. I often see in fashion magazines where stylists put together an outfit where every item is under $50. The jeans may be $25, the shirt may be $39, the purse may be $15, etc… However, I would love to see them style an entire outfit for under $50 total – from top to bottom, including accessories.

Dress Form Outfit #8
Summer dresses aren’t necessarily just for the summer months. You can layer pieces under and over a summer dress to make it appropriate for Spring or Fall.

I paired it with my Ann Taylor denim jacket and a brown Nine West belt (with a cool silver buckle)! […]
Dress Form Outfit: Fitted Florals

This floral dress is made of cotton and Lyrca spandex. I’ve paired it with a fuschia scarf, which I also used as a belt. Wearing the fuschia belt as a scarf (as seen above).
Dress Form Outfit: Ombre Blues
I received an antique dress form for Christmas! So what better way to use it than to dress it up! I put my blue Ombre style sweater on the dress form and it inspired me to “Ombre” something else… I recently purchased just less than one yard of white jersey material and a bottle of Kelly Green Rit Dye. That will be a blog for another day! So stay tuned!
