Why Did You Wear That: Full House
Written by: WhyDid YouWearThat | Why Did You Wear That?

 They say what goes around comes around… and they weren’t lying.  I’m about to date myself here by saying that I really enjoy watching re-runs of Full House.  It brings me back to a happy place.  I’m really about to date myself (and sound like a fuddy duddy) by saying, they don’t make TV shows like they used to.

While watching an episode of Full House one lazy mid morning… it was the one where Stephanie goes to junior high and doesn’t really fit but tries to make friends by smoking… I looked at her friend Mickey and thought, “Wow, I like what she’s wearing.”  Sure, sure, it seems strange to want to wear the same thing as a girl in junior high during the 90′s, but 1. they say the cycle or recycled trends is about 20 years, and 2. Mickey is probably around my age by now, no?

Yeah, that’s right.  It’s just about time the 90′s are come back into fashion.  Um, Doc Martens and flannel shirts anyone?  Hey, it’s better than the 80′s.

1.  Cabela’s Portugese Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt, $24.99, 2. Free People 5 Pocket Denim Cut Offs, $68, 3. Junk Food T Rex Hot Love Baseball Raglan Tee, $43.99, 4. Michelle Roy Chain Friendship Bracelet, $62, 5. Dr. Martens 1460 in Black/Greasy, $110, 6. Foot Traffic Cable Knit Over the Knee Socks, $9

How rude.

Written by: WhyDid YouWearThat | Friday Frocks,Why Did You Wear That?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been salivating over the opportunity to channel your inner chandelier this New Year’s Eve.  If you’re not like me, well, then we covered you last week with the “anti-sparkle dress.”   New Year’s Eve is your time to shine.  Both literally and figuratively.  I think there are two completely appropriate times (and a free hall passes) to wear as much glimmery, shimmery, I’m a disco ball garb as you damn well please.  One is your birthday and the other is obviously New Year’s Eve.  In honor of one of the most overhyped holidays, here are twelve beautiful blinged out dresses to strut your stuff in that won’t leave you looking like a Las Vegas showgirl.

1. Parker All Over Sequin Tank Dress, $407, 2. Sheri Bodell Wrap Halter Dress, $348, 3. Tibi Metallic Halter Gown, $375, 4. The Addison Story Lurex Dress, $176.40, 5. Minuet Gilded Grecian Dress, $82.99, 6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Liv Sparkle Dress, $698, 7. Alice + Olivia Radha Beaded Shift Dress, $796, 8. MICHAEL Michael Kors Sequin Wrap Dress, $139, 9. J.

Friday Frocks: Lady in Red
Written by: WhyDid YouWearThat | Friday Frocks,Why Did You Wear That?

Now that it is officially December, let the holiday melee begin.  Not only do you have to find everyone on your holiday shopping list the perfect gift, you’re going to have to show up to give it to them.  And well, that’s probably going to require your attendance at many a fab holiday soiree.  So, why not start with one of the most obvious choices?  The Little Red Dress.  Now, let’s get one thing straight.  Every couple of seasons or so, someone tries to dub another color the “New Little Black Dress.”  Get real.  There is no such thing as the “New Little Black Dress.”  It’ll never happen.  The Little Black Dress is like the Queen of England- not going anywhere. HOWEVER, during this magical month, it is fun to swap out basic black for a color more festive… like Santa’s famous red suit.  (He wears black the rest of the year, FYI).  Also, you dont have to go for the oh so obvious fire engine red.  Try a deeper shade or perhaps even a pattern.

1. Emerson Thorpe Solid Tassels Dress, $286, 2. BB Dakota Kassia Dress, $105, 3. Tibi Floral Print Silk Gazaar Dress, $570, 4. Madison Marcus Triumph Bustier Dress, $315, 5. Lanvin Silk Gazar Dress, $3,990, 6. Vena Cava Youth Dress, $485, 7. Free People Printed Bodycon Dress, $68, 8. French Connection Drape Delight Asymmetric Dress, $259.99, 9. Forever 21 Scoop Back Lace Tank Dress, $24.80, 10. Jill Stuart Silk Chiffon Dress, $298

Look for Loss: Trail Blazers
Written by: WhyDid YouWearThat | Look for Less,Why Did You Wear That?

You may only associate the blazer as a piece of clothing worn by uptight businessmen and those ladies who wear white sneakers on their commute to work, but I’d like to let you in on a little style secret.  The blazer is far less boring and uptight than you think it is.  As a matter of fact, a blazer can go great for a laid back weekend running errands or a night out on the town with your girlfriends.  Check out how Heidi, Miranda, and Blake all incorporated this style staple into their wardrobes this week:

1. Forever 21 Open Front Blazer, $28.90, 2. Genetic Denim The Shane Skinny Jeans, $69.74, 3. Charlotte Russe Raised Knit Beret, $9.50, 4. bebe 2b Multicolor Zebra Scarf, $15.95, 5. Nike Air Jordan Alpha 1 iD

1. BCBG Black Woven Stretch Kana Boyfriend Blazer, $125, 2. American Apparel Unisex Fine Jersey Short Sleeve T-shirt, $18, 3. Free People Rocker Vegan Leather Shorts, $98, 4. Forever 21 Sunglasses, $5.80, 5. The Limited Sheer Tights, $16.90, 6. BCBG Falla Buckle Ankle Boots, $142.49

1. Forever 21 Cropped Front Drape Blazer, $29.80, 2. Charlotte Russe Mesh Cutout Bodycon Dress, $29.99, 3. Kate Spade Mint Julep Ring, $78, 4. Topshop Black 120 Denier Opaque Tights, $16, 5. Vince Camuto Jordy Bootie, $139

Time to take the blazer from the cubicle to the cluuuuuurb.
