Dress Form Outfit #33

The end of summer is quickly approaching and soon all the season premieres will be coming back on television. So in honor of one of my favorite TV shows, Sons of Anarchy, this dress form outfit features a bikini top with the official SOA logo. It ties both around the neck and around the back. I didn’t put the bottoms on the dress form because it just looked weird, but I did take photos of the bottoms for your viewing pleasure (FYI – I’m not modeling the bottoms)! The bottoms tie on each hip, which allows to some adjustment. Instead, I […]

Fashion Icon: Coco Chanel

Anyone who knows me knows I have a bit of a fascination with Chanel. I have seen the Coco Chanel movies – Coco Chanel starring Shirley MacLaine, and Coco Before Chanel staring Audrey Tautou. To me, Coco Chanel is one the my all-time favorite fashion icons. I don’t really know what it is about Chanel that fascinates me so (maybe it’s the interlocking CC logo) or when this fascination began, but I do know this – Chanel is equivalent to style and class. Biography.com has a rather nice bio on Coco Chanel, which details her rise to fame as a fashion designer. […]

Dress Form Outfit #32

I love skirts and dresses, especially during spring, summer and fall months. This week’s dress form outfit features a vertical striped A-line skirt and a simple white tank top. I would wear a couple of silver necklaces, a few thin silver bangles, and silver hoop earrings. To complete the outfit, I’d wear some cute white sandals or wedges. During the spring or fall, when there’s a bit of a nip in the air, I’d wear my denim jacket or a soft heather gray cardigan. You could also tuck in the tank top and wear a black or white weave leather […]

Dress Form Outfit #31

Wearing a sweater in the heat of summer often gets the wearer of the sweater the odd glance because “who would wear a sweater in this 90-degree summer heat?” The fact that this sweater is a bit on the thick side and that it has a cowl neck might turn some people off from wearing it in the summertime, but I see this sleeveless sweater as a colorful summer staple. The various shades of blue horizontal stripes alternating with the white, black, and tan stripes means you could wear it with khakis, navy cargo pants, black jeans, or crisp white […]

Dress Form Outfit #30

Summer is in full swing and my go-to outfits are either dresses or skirts. This week’s dress form is my favorite (and most worn) denim dress. I’ve owned it for probably 12 years (or more) and even though it’s faded a bit, it is still just as comfortable and “in style” (at least I think so) as the day I bought it. I paired it with a brown belt with a silver belt buckle, and draped a multi-strand turquoise necklace around the neck. In the summer, I would wear this dress with some cute brown sandals or wedges. In the […]
