Why Did You Wear That: Go Wide

By Kirsten|July 16th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

Being the third born and first girl in my family, I really made it known that I was, in fact, female. When my mom prudently and practically attempted to put me into some of my brothers clothes, I went ahead and turned up my tiny freckled nose at the sheer thought of wearing something that had belonged to a boy. This is also the same reasoning I used in pre-school when I decided I would no longer be addressed as K.C. because there was a boy in my class named Casey. I would be called Kirsten and pink dresses and ruffled panties it was. I may have scaled citrus trees and caught lizards barefoot, but I did so wearing a dress. And while I still prefer a dress (as of late a coordinating crop top and skirt), there are times (much like the ones mentioned yesterday) wherein, I must put on my big girl pants. And this summer it’s all about a printed palazzo pant.

Friday Frocks: Lil Bit of This, Lil Bit of That

By Kirsten|November 8th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

Every woman, no matter her age, lifestyle, or body type must own the perfect LBD. At times, a simple black frock can seem a bit dull, but there are some easy ways to add interest to an otherwise standard staple. To avoid falling flat, texture can be a crucial part of keeping your LBD from being run of the mill. Leather, lace, or a combination of the two will take you from standard to standout. In a classic shape or something more au courant, the basic little black dress has never looked better.

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.

House of Harlow 1960 Adeline Dress, 7. Forever 21 Grunge Girl Floral Dress, , 8.One & Only x Urban Renewal Collared 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.
