Since September is here, I’m beginning to look forward to the cool fall weather. So to get myself psyched up for fall, I paired this week’s dress form outfit with a stylish scarf. I paired an olive colored skirt, which I purchased at a thrift store in Casselberry, Fla., with a black tank top from Wal-Mart. The scarf was a gift from my husband. He said it brings out the green in my eyes… how romantical! When the weather gets cooler, I can unwrap the scarf from around my neck and drape it around my shoulders. During the spring and […]
Dress Form Outfit #36
This week’s dress form outfit is a scarf-style shift dress. I purchased it (as well as another color of this same style dress) from Surf Style in Clearwater Beach, Fla. It is super soft and skims the body perfectly. The belt is not so high that it makes this dress look or feel like an empire waist dress. The simple tie belt hits at what is the smallest part of my midsection – between my belly button and my midriff. I can transition this dress from summer to fall to winter to spring, simply by changing my accessories. Right now, or […]
What I Took From “Glamour’s” Fashion Issue
I’ve written on several occasions about how I take my time reading magazines. First I flip through it page-by-page, just looking at the photographs. Then I go back and literally (and I do mean literally) read it from cover-to-cover. Almost two weeks ago, I got four magazines in the mail and so far, I’ve read only two of them cover-to-cover: People StyleWatch and Glamour. So today I’m going to tell you a little about “what I took from Glamour magazine’s fall fashion issue.” First of all, there were three cover photos of the stunningly beautiful (but not smiling) Victoria Beckham. Here’s my […]
Dress Form Outfit #35
This week’s dress form outfit was purchased at thrift stores at separate times. The top was purchased at an American Thrift Store in Chattanooga while the skirt was purchased at a Goodwill store in Cleveland. I have often raved about my finds at thrift stores, and these two pieces are some of my great finds. The intricately stitched floral skirt features a lace hem and if you wanted to tuck in the sweater, then the wide waistband has belt loops so you could tie on a pretty black ribbon. Have a great week!
Dress Form Outfit #34
I love comfortable clothes. I’ve mentioned this over and over again in my dress form outfit posts, and this week’s outfit is no different. Both the top and skirt are from Forever 21. This gray top has a dark blue tie-dye effect. It’s extremely light and roomy, and it comes down to the hips. I wear this outfit with a pair of flip-flops but you could wear a cute pair of dark blue flats or wedge sandals for date night! The bracelets (seen below) were given to me by my husband. I’ve worn the bracelets separately, and I’ve worn them […]
