Supermodel. Super Mom. Footballer’s Wife. Victoria’s Secret Model. Actress. Goodwill Ambassador. And she retired at the top of her game. In one word… Gisele. This Brazilian model pioneered the “horse walk”, and has been labeled by other “supermodels” to be the “only remaining true supermodel.” She has acted in only two films that I know of – Taxi, starring Queen Latifa and Jimmy Fallon, and The Devil Wears Prada, starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep.

Dress Form Outfit #39

This week’s dress form outfit is casual and comfortable.

When I get ready to wear this outfit, I will pair it with my black Mossimo booties. The skirt was purchased online from Victoria’s Secret. The tank was purchased at the Forever 21 in Tampa, Fla., and the black crocheted sweater was purchased at the H&M in Sanford, Fla. Have a great day!

Dress Form Outfit #24

I love comfortable clothes! For me, comfort is mandatory, although some of the high heels I wear push me to the limits of my comfort zone. I try to combine being comfortable with being stylish, which sometimes is hard for me to do with my limited wardrobe. But I am really trying hard to push myself a little bit every day to be more stylish, which is why I scour fashion magazines for inspiration. This week’s dress form outfit features a comfortable charcoal gray fitted skirt (95% viscose/5% elastane) and a pink graphic print t-shirt.
