Friday Frocks: Some Day My “Prints” Will Come
Written by: WhyDid YouWearThat | Friday Frocks

Once upon a time there was a fair maiden with a closet full of beautiful black frocks.  She wore her always chic, always sophisticated staple pieces day in and day out without putting too much thought into it.  One day, she tired of looking like all the other maidens in the land and decided to spice things up a bit.  She did so by adding colors and patterns into her daily routine.  She was already lovely, but in her new fun and flirty frocks, she stood out from the rest.  This caused her to catch the eye of a very handsome prince.  He appreciated her independent spirit and confidence.

L to R: Nanette Lepore Go Getter Printed Dress, $298, Herve Leger Geometric Print Mini Dress, $1,850, Thakoon Floral Print Peasant Dress, $665, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent High Low Tank Dress, $335, Topshop Navy Petal Print Notch Tea Dress, $78

L to R: Parker Print Ruffle Dress, $195, Joie Perrier Silk Floral Printed Dress, $228, Matthew Williamson Escape Printed Silk Chiffon Dress, $1,350, RebeccaTaylor Leopard Print Ruffle Dress, $295, Alice and Olivia Matilda Boquet Print Dress, $367

After seeing how these prints caught the prince’s attention, all the other maidens followed suit.  Luckily, with so many options in color, prints, and patterns, none of the maidens ever looked the same.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Friday Frocks: It’s My Party
Written by: WhyDid YouWearThat | Friday Frocks

Every girl wants to look great on her special day.  Most guys really just don’t seem to understand how important the “birthday dress” is.  Probably because they are much more interested in our “birthday suits.”  Last night, before dinner at Cecconi’s , I fussed about not having a birthday dress.  Someone pointed out that I had a ton of dresses in my closet.  ”But they are all blaaaack!” I whined.  Luckily, after a little digging, I found a dress I had yet to wear and it wasn’t black! Crisis averted.  I avoided the birthday blues, but I suggest planning ahead of time.  Here are some very fun, very “birthday” dresses.

(L to R): Red Valentino Sequin Embellished Tulle Dress, $795, Herve Leger Geometric Pattern Party Dress, $2,500, Vera Wang One Shoulder Tulle Bustier Dress, $2,300, BCBG One Shoulder Tulle Dress, $398

(L to R): Alice and Olivia Vanda Bandage Shift Dress, $596, Nicole Miller Sequin and Tulle Dress, $485, Young Fabulous and Broke Hazel Dress, $295, Foley and Corinna Beaded Godet Dress, $490

Cry if you want to.

Trendy Tuesday: Peaches n’ Cream

I was so excited to see some of my favorite shades on the red carpet this past weekend.  I especially loved the color of the Calvin Klein that Emma Stone wore (despite the fact that I was a bit turned off that her hair and skin matched -monochromatic much?).  Anyway, any good reason to post pictures of amazingly lovely shades of nudes and peach and I’m in.  I really do adore the mix of peach (or sherbert) and nude together especially in a simple sophisticated silhouette.  The trick? Do not physically MATCH the color of your dress!

Top (L to R): Naven Bombshell Dress, $345, Alice and Olivia Tina Seamed Cutout Dress, $297, Delphine Murat Short Dress, $49, Alice and Olivia Cowl Neck Silk Blend Dress, $110.25

Bottom (L to R): Camilla and Marc Orion Paneled Ponte Dress, $550, Patterson J. Kincaid Linen Maxi Dress, $168Thatcher by Alisse Thatcher Refine Slip Dress, $84.70Herve Leger Rose Blush Cutout Sleeve Dress, $1,570

Delish!

Friday Frocks: Dress the Part
Written by: WhyDid YouWearThat | Friday Frocks

If there’s one theme we should all be able to get behind, it’s gotta be the beautiful holly berry red of Christmas.  You can totally pull it off without looking absolutely ridiculous and it’s a hell of a lot better than those wretched “ugly Christmas sweater” parties. (Who thinks- better yet participates- in such things?) Anyway, why not get into the holiday spirit by slipping into something that would make even Santa smile? Besides, you’ve gotta find something to put on with those cherry red lips.
