Disclosure: I received a beautiful dress of my choice from Joules to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own. Normally, I am a jeans kind of girl. I wear them everywhere... church, date night, shopping, around the house... and so on. Jeans are my go-to. I always seem to have a hard time finding dresses that I like, and I have never bought one Online. My first thought when I accepted the offer to try one of Joules dresses from their Online store was, "How am I going to choose a DRESS that will look nice on me without even trying it on?!" Well, thankfully, the dresses on Joules made it super easy. They are all not only pretty, and feminine, they are also in styles that fit almost any body type. They offer dresses for the slender woman to the more voluptuous! I was very impressed. I wound up picking a beautiful bright pink one. Again, I totally stepped out of my norm. I am a huge fan of the color black because of its amazing quality to make one appear thinner than … [Read more...]
Maxing Out the Fashionably Versatile Maxi Dress
I thought today we could cover how to max out our maxi dresses. If you don't have one, you should invest in one because a. They're currently in style, b. They've been in style since the 70's and you really can't go wrong when you buy one and 3. every store is carrying them, and if you purchase a good one, it can take you from day time to evening to casual to wedding attire in no time. I spent any time I was sick in college or working out watching Stacy and Clinton on TLC revamping other people's wardrobes and desperately wishing they'd come do it for me. Are you with me? I find that my biggest trouble is buying individual pieces that have no business partnering with any of my other clothes. So I have a bunch of stand alone pieces, without vision on how to ingratiate items to expand my wardrobe without having to stretch my wallet. This, I believe, is the most common crime we all have in shopping. We have to think of our closet as a team, united for a single purpose: getting the most … [Read more...]
Summer Sandals: 6 Styles You Will Flip Over
To say I'm obsessed with sandals is putting it moderately. I really, really, adore sandals. I hate close toed shoes for so many reasons, but mostly because of the weather they represent. Sandals represent sun and sand and shorts and wonderful heat that rises as the day stretches out long before us. But I also love them because they are just comfortable. And this summer, the options are even more varied than before. I love how every summer, new sandal trends begin. A few years ago it was the summer of Roman Gladiator sandals, which I liked but made my already unfeminine feet look all the more masculine. I am so grateful that they've toned down recently. I love platform sandals, and I've heard those are back in style, but I haven't seen any I'd wear yet. I love a good heel on a sandal too, one that's understated and preferably neutral in color so it elongates a leg and feminizes a foot. If we're going to show some toe skin, I'd like it to look nice and girly. And with the endless … [Read more...]
