Friday Frocks: Sweater Dressing

By Kirsten|October 25th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

To me, there is no better thing than being able to look pulled together while feeling as if you are lounging in your oldest holiest sweats. The perfect way to achieve this style nirvana is by acquiring a sweater dress… or many of them. Be it cashmere, merino wool, or cotton blend, sweater dresses come in all shapes, colors, and patterns making it quite possible to wear one each and every day of the week. Perfectly suited for a day at the office or a weekend brunch with friends, this knit number is as versatile as it is comfortable. With tights, over the knee boots, and a leather jacket, no one will ever accuse you of being frumpy.

Friday Frocks: You’re My Babydoll

By Kirsten|October 11th, 2013|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Speaking of the 90’s, the one closet staple other than an oversize flannel was the babydoll dress. The bodycon dress’s polar opposite, the babydoll allows for a bit more wiggle room with a silhouette that barely skims the body. This style is especially flattering on boyish shapes because there’s just something strange about big breasts in a babydoll dress. So, whether you’re a darling Donna, cocaine Kelly, or bitchy Brenda, lace up your Dr. Martens and put on your favorite floral babydoll dress.

Friday Frocks: Last Dance, Last Chance

By Kirsten|June 7th, 2013|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.

1. Forever 21 Scuba Knit Cutout Dress, 2. ONE by Kitty Grace Obelisks Dress, 3. Olcay Gulsen Cross Back Tank Dress, 4. Forever 21 Static Cutout Bodycon Dress, 5.

Friday Frocks: White Nights

By Kirsten|May 31st, 2013|Friday Frocks|

We’ve passed that fashion milestone known as Memorial Day, which traditionally signals the ol’ “go ahead” for wearing white (we know that’s somewhat outdated, but in the off chance you’re a traditionalist…). The only time of year a little white dress can trump the little black dress, other than your wedding day or perhaps the Oscars, is from June until late August. So, get your faux glow on and slip into something lighter and whiter to create your own white night.
