Friday Frocks: Jump At the Chance

By Kirsten|July 18th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Technically not a frocks… because, well, they’re not dresses, jumpsuits are panted versions of the maxi dress. A jumpsuit can be both casual and comfortable as well as silky and sleek. Whether you opt for uptown or down, just fair warning: it’s going to be a struggle in the bathroom. Allow for extra time and be prepared for angry, full bladdered women to anxiously sigh while repeatedly interrupting your bathroom break with angry knocks as you try to free yourself from straps, belts, and other accoutrements. That aside, jumpsuits are kind of like wearing very stylish onesie pajamas out in public without attracting public scrutiny, plus you don’t need to bother shaving. Jump at the chance to wear one this weekend.

Friday Frocks: Red, White, and Beautiful

By Kirsten|July 4th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

So you’ve opted out of that flag bikini, but you are feeling festive and what better way to pledge your allegiance than a Fourth of July friendly frock? No need to swath yourself in an American flag. Isn’t that illegal anyhow? (Ask Lil Wayne). Instead of being entirely predictable and in the spirit of outfits that have longer shelf lives than summer romances, choose a dress in solid red, white, or blue, or pick a pattern combining the hues to be the biggest babe at the barbecue– potentially setting of some fireworks of your own.

Why Did You Wear That: See Ya Later, 2008!

By Kirsten|December 6th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

So, it is now December. I can hardly believe it. This year has flown by!

Anyway, this means that you are starting (or if you’re an overachiever, have already started/finished) planning for your New Year’s Eve soiree. Obviously, my favorite part of any holiday, or party, or basically any occassion to dress up, is getting totally decked out. So whether you’ll be in NYC, South Beach, or jet-setting off to St. Bart’s, I’ve come up with some festive dress ideas for your very special evening. Careful with the champagne…

NEW YORK CITY

Oh, New York. I have spent a few New Year’s here, myself. While New Yorkers tend to be elegantly understated, it is still fun to sparkle and stand out. (Trust me, I was once the only one in the room in a cocktail dress, loved it). Go with a little bit of subtle glam and comfortable (but still cute) shoes because after all, this is the city that never sleeps!
