Should you wear a long dress?  Or something short and sassy?  Can’t make up your mind?  You don’t have to!  Recently I’ve seen an influx of frocks that allow you to wear both.  Short in the front and long in the back.  Is this the mullet of dresses?  Maybe.  Hm… the mullet suddenly makes so much more sense to me now.  Weird.  These  schizophrenic hemmed frocks appear to be the perfect answer for an outdoor or afternoon wedding or a semi-formal party.  When you’re wearing both how can you really go wrong?

The flirtiest frock a girl can own is the type that isn’t meant for the public to see.  As a matter of fact, it doesn’t matter if anyone ever sees it as long as she feels good when she’s wearing it.  It’s the prettiest, dantiest, most feminine frock in her closet and whether she does her dishes in it or finds herself showing it off, she’ll feel like the most beautiful woman alive.

Shall we go ahead and acknowledge the upcoming calendar holiday (ahem, Valentine’s Day)?  Knowing you pretty (and smart) ladies, you’ve probably already got a handful (or more) of handsome suitors just willing you to be their Valentines.  As a matter of fact, they’re probably doodling your name as we speak.  Whether or not you oblige one of these lucky gentlemen on their offer or opt to hit the town with your favorite gal pals instead, it’s never too early to start planning your outfit.  Stick to traditional red, a splash of fuchsia, or spice things up with a playful pattern.  These frocks are sure to get all kinds of hearts aflutter.

I look forward to Friday for oh so many reasons and I get the feeling I’m not alone.  One of those reasons is the prospect of letting my hair down, slipping out of something standard, and perhaps getting a little bit wild.  What better way to let people know you are serious about having fun than sporting a little something borrowed from our friends in the animal kingdom?

In case you haven’t noticed, leopard and animal prints aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.  In my opinion, leopard print is a new neutral.  If you tire of the standard “as seen in nature” prints, opt for a recolored print.

Grrr… baby, very grrr.

Perhaps none of us will ever marry a “real” prince and become “real” life princesses like Kate, but there’s no reason we shouldn’t dress and feel like a princess.  Especially on say, I don’t know, your birthday?  Every princess needs a gown to celebrate her special day.  That’s really one of our only obligations.  Something special.  Something shimmery.  Something so jaw droppingly gorgeous you couldn’t help but get noticed.  Now, that’s what I call a birthday dress.  This edition of Friday Frocks is not what one might call “budget friendly,” but it sure is pretty.  A girl can dream, right?
