Date or no date this Valentine’s Day, there’s no reason not to put on your flirtiest frock to paint the town red… or pink. Nothing stops traffic quite like a little red dress, but if you’re not crazy about crimson, there are several shades of pink- pale to punchy- that will also do the trick turning heads.

By admin|December 5th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

There’s lot to celebrate this time of year besides having just celebrated WhyDid.com’s sixth year of publishing as was made painfully clear this afternoon as our email chain grew longer and longer in an attempt to get all of our favorite girls together for a holiday party. Every time we thought we’d locked down a day to congregate over cooking and cocktails, someone would pipe in with regrets over having obligations to another engagement. We still haven’t quite nailed down a date for our holiday festivities, but in the meantime, I did nail down some festive frocks to get you through this season’s holiday party. Cheers!

Why Did You Wear That: On the Rink of Greatness

By Kirsten|January 7th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

Speaking of arctic blasts (from the past) the 22nd Winter Olympics will be kicking off from Sochi, Russia in a mere month. So, how coincidental (or is it?) that skater skirts have made a bigger comeback than Nancy Kerrigan after that whole Tonya Harding incident. Show me a girl who didn’t dream of gliding on ice like Kristi Yamaguchi or long to be a spandex clad Tara Lipinksi and I’ll show you a girl who wasn’t old enough to remember the ’94 Olympics. (Side note: I just did the math on that and it’s frightening). Anyhow, reminiscent of Michelle Kwan and Oksana Baiul, the skater skirt is the perfect skirt to skate right through winter. Worn with slightly less maribou and maybe equal parts sequins and this wardrobe reboot is just begging to be twirled in. Not to mention it would most certainly look sensational with a crop top.

Friday Frocks: Hot Under the Collar

By Kirsten|December 27th, 2013|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

One of the most noteworthy numbers sent down this Fall ’13’s runways was the plaid Peter Pan collared frock from Saint Laurent. Encapsulating just enough of the 90’s grunge while maintaining the sweetness of a babydoll silhouette, this dress becomes a classic contradiction. Valentino and Louis Vuitton also sent very similar styles down the catwalk. A perfect day to night dress that will transition effortlessly from cubicle to club by trading in flat boots for spiky Mary-Janes or strappy pumps, letting your hair loose and cranking up the smokey eye. A perfect perfect mixture of sugar and spice- ain’t that nice?

1. Alice + Olivia Courtnee Combo Cuff Dress, 2. RED Valentino Polka Dot Peter Pan Collar Dress, 3. Sea Combo Silk Dress, 4. Victoria Beckham Peter Pan Collar Ottoman Mini Dress, 5. Cooperative Contrast Collar Babydoll Dress, 6.Motel Narla Cross-Back Dress, 7. Maje Eponyme Chiffon Paneled Stretch Jersey Mini Dress, 8. Charles Henry Collared Colorblock Dress, 9. One & Only x Urban Renewal Collared Babydoll Dress, 10. Elkin Noon Dress

Why Did You Wear That: Right on Top of That, Rose.

By Kirsten|November 21st, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

Much like fabrics go in and out of vogue (corduroy, velvet, flannel), so do precious metals. There was a time when one might shudder to see someone wearing yellow gold and then roles reversed and sterling silver was anything but chic. However, there is another shade of shimmer that is most flattering on all skin tones. Yellow gold can be too warm while silver and platinum can be too cool, yet rose gold is the perfect in between shade for skin tones of plaster porcelain to dark chocolate. I’m not sure jewelry could be more feminine than when crafted from rose gold. I’ve even said that I’d like my next (yes, next) engagement ring to be rose gold. Hey, nothing wrong with planning ahead (sometimes referred to as “wishful thinking”). But until my perfect prince charming shows up on his perfect pony with a perfect piece of jewelry for my perfectly manicured ring finger, these rose gold accessories will just have to hold me over (and you too!).
