Today’s blog post features not one, but two {yes, TWO} dress form outfits. Both dresses are from the summer dress collection at Old Navy. {And no, this is not a sponsored post for Old Navy.} I recently wrote a guest blog post for Lana with Lifestyle Queen Bee, about spending only $50 on an outfit and using items from my personal wardrobe to take the outfit from day to night. Check it out! To fully take advantage of my $50, I went to Old Navy. I had seen their commercials about their summer dresses and decided to head over and see […]
Oh How I Love Dress Forms!
I have always loved dress forms, whether they be vintage or antique dress forms or wire-framed dress forms. I even like those mini dress forms you see at Hobby Lobby. So needless to say, I was super excited when I received one for Christmas a few years ago. I have used that dress form in my blog, as part of my “Dress Form Outfit” posts. Unlike the dress forms in this post, my dress form is fully functional. I can adjust every part of my dress form. I can make the chest larger or smaller, and in my case, I can make […]
Dressing for the Holidays
Dressing for the holidays doesn’t always mean ugly sweaters or fancy party dresses. If you’re going out for dinner with friends, you could pair a simple dress with a brightly colored cardigan. But for me, having a few beautiful statement pieces can make the outfit even more special. Today’s dress form outfit is as much about the accessories {jewelry} as it is about the outfit. I purchased the necklace and rings {along with a power gemstone bracelet, and then received the chevron tribal arrow cuff as a gift} from the gorjana booth, back in August while attending the BlogHer #16 conference […]
Three Outfits to Take You from Day to Night
My dress form got a lot of action this weekend! Even though I have a closet full of clothes, I needed some new outfits! Besides, who can pass up the sales rack at Target on “tax-free weekend”? Not me! All three of these outfits are Mossimo and the wedges are Aldo (and super comfy). From left to right:1. Chambray romper (similar style here, here, and here)2. Off-the-shoulder mini-dress (similar styles here and here)3. Black sleeveless eyelet dress (similar styles here and here) The Aldo Piaclya wedges were purchased on sale at DSW, but similar styles can be found here and here. I […]
When I Grow Up…
You can ask my mother about this, but when I was younger, I would always say that I wanted to be the next Barbara Walters. I would pretend I was a television newswoman, staring at my reflection in the microwave oven door, reading the news stories I had written. Then when I was about 16 years old, I began writing. I may have strayed from my original path as a writer from time to time, mainly because school and life got in the way. A couple of years ago, my passion for writing was reignited and I began a blog… […]
