Friday Frocks: Thankful for Sweater Dresses

By Kirsten|November 18th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Alright, so we are gearing up for a big week next week. Big in terms of family, cooking, and our stomachs. That’s right, Thanksgiving is right around the corner (ahem- next Thursday). This holiday means many things- one of which is failing miserably at portion control. Aunt Mimi’s pie is just too good. While I’d rather just wear something from tent and awning, it is possible that you’ll be spending this special day with a special someone’s family… So, you’ll have to look (somewhat) presentable. Next best thing to wrapping yourself in a duvet? The oh so effortless sweater dress. It’s cozy, it’s cute, and it allows for an extra piece of pie. Wear yours with textured tights (or sweater leggings) and flat boots for a pulled together, yet totally relaxed look.

1. MAX Studio Oversize V-Neck Sweater, $148, 2. Milly Knit Ashley Stripe Sweater Dress, $295, 3. Retreat Cable Sweater Dress, $97.50, 4. Religion Jumble Sweater Dress, $136, 5.

Friday Frocks: Take the Plunge

By Kirsten|November 11th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Alright, so the chances of taking a swan dive into clear blue waters at this time of year are probably slim to none for most of us… but that doesn’t mean you can’t take the plunge this fall. Step away from the high dive and step over to your closet. A deep v neckline is one heck of a way to make an entrance into any holiday party. Just don’t forget your double sided tape!

Friday Frocks: Witchy Woman

By Kirsten|October 21st, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

It’s that time of year again. It’s always some time of year again though. Anyway, the time of year I’m talking about is Halloween. And while some of you may be crotch deep in slutty costumes, some of us are a little tired of plopping down 50 bucks for a pre-packaged costume the size of a dinner napkin from Ricky’s only to exile said costume to the far corners of our closets the day after fright night. Luckily, there are quite a few frocks that can do double duty. Not only are they spot on for Fall, they’d also make for very good witchy, vampy costumes with the right makeup and props. Now to be clear, vampires just really aren’t my thing, but I’m not here to judge. I’m in front of my TV every Monday night for Gossip Girl… so…

Anyway, wearing a black lace or deep red velvet frock with some snagged stockings, smokey eyes, and maroon lips would make for a very sultry, very sexy (not slutty) Halloween costume. Pop some vampire teeth and fake blood in your clutch for added effect and you’ll be utterly bewitching.

1. Camilla and Marc Courtesy Frock, $492, 2. Plastic Island Gatsby Lace Dress, $180, 3. Rebecca Minkoff Frida Lace Dress, $428, 4. The Battalion Marion Lace Maxi, $99, 5. Insight Rouched and Ready Dress, $66, 6. Free People Floral Lace Fit and Flare Dress, $128, 7. One Teaspoon Sweet Lace Mini Dress, $108,8. Theyskens’ Theory Knock Yara Sweater Dress, $395, 9. Forever 21 Lace Peplum Dress, $19.84, 10. Free People Bell Sleeve Lace Trim Tunic, $183.33

The best part about a freaky frock? If you happened to have a slumber party with your very own Edward Cullen, you simply must wash your face to make the walk of shame home at the break of dawn.
