Friday Frocks: Last Dance, Last Chance
Written by: WhyDid | Friday Frocks

Who doesn’t love the arrival of a bachelorette party?  Half drunk, half dressed, fully armed with embarrassing phallic props.  But let’s suppose for just a moment that you’re like me and the sheer thought of a blowup penis and clip on veil makes you want to call the whole thing off.  It is your duty as a woman on death row to look like a complete and utter hussy on your last night of singledom.  Pretty soon you’ll have to shun the stares of strangers and you’re gonna miss the way that feels, unless, of course, you enjoy watching your husband participate in bar brawls… I actually love the idea of the bride wearing an all white frock, but if you’d like to be less conspicuous or if you’re simply along for the ride, here are a few frock options that are guaranteed to get heads turning– penis whistle or not.

Why Did You Wear That: Bottoms Up!

kirsten smith whydid comI bought a pair of questionably patterned pants about a month ago, which Serena apparently wore on an episode of Gossip Girl.  This is basically the closest I’ll ever get to looking like Blake Lively.  These were a post holiday sale impulse purchase and while it took me a while to actually wear them (in public), I do kind of love them.  Something I try to do during the colder winter months is stock up on pants of interest.  I realize this is the opposite of what most stylists might suggest, but I love the idea of bringing drama to an outfit from the bottom  up.  Rather than slipping on a sparkly top, I slide into patterned pants, velvet leggings, or leather embellished trousers and “top” them off with a simple tee or neutral blouse and leave the rest up to accessories.  If you’re looking to switch things up, I suggest starting from the bottom up.

Friday Frocks: Cadbury Cuties

easter bonnetWhile some of you may only look forward to the Easter season for those delicious Cadbury cream eggs and Peeps, others take this day pretty seriously.  For instance, my mother.  For as long as I had no say in the matter, my mom decked me out from head to toe (literally).  She didn’t just stop with a pretty pastel frock for Sunday service.  She went as far as sewing fresh flowers into my bonnet and that little handbag I was holding.  She was at least kind enough to tuck away some jelly beans in my bag so as to keep me quiet during all those songs at church.  Did I mention I’m tone deaf?  Anyway, if you’re anything like my mom, you’re probably looking to deck yourself out this Sunday.  Lucky for you (and the Easter bunny), everything pastel and floral is right on trend this spring and you should have no trouble at all finding something pretty to wear.   And for my non-Easter celebrating friends, Happy Passover.  Chag Sameach.

Friday Frocks: Garden Party

alice in wonderland tea party

I don’t care what that little groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said.  It feels like spring outside and I’m ready to throw one heck of a garden party.  Should your teacup be full of tea or champagne… it doesn’t really matter.  Find your most floral frock and accessorize with the most gigantic hat your pretty little head can hold up and a pair of chunky heels (so as to avoid sinking into the sod).  Grab your girlfriends for a day of gabbing and grubbing… just don’t fall down the rabbit hole.

Juicy Couture Printed Silk Crepe Dress, $300, 4. Zimmerman Floral Print Cotton Wrap Dress, $300, 5. Joseph Blush Hand Painted Floral Dress, $665, 6. girl. by Band of Outsiders Printed Silk Dress, $440, 7. BCBGeneration Floral Ruffle Sleeve Dress, $88, 8.

Friday Frocks: The Highs and Lows

highs and lows

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?
