Dress Form Outfit: Summer Jumpsuit

I always thought that jumpsuits were basically an adult onesie. I guess I never saw the appeal of them, and I never thought I’d jump on the jumpsuit trend. However, when I finally found one that is not only comfortable but stylish, I had to have it! I never planned on buying a jumpsuit, but I found this one at the Goodwill store in Lenoir City, Tenn., and I just couldn’t pass it up. It’s a Lisa Rinna Collection jumpsuit, which was available on QVC. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available, but she does have other styles available for purchase on […]

Dress Form Outfit Inspired by InStyle / www.vanessahwood.com

I’m often inspired by the fashions, styles and trends in many of today’s women’s magazines. Today’s dress form outfit was inspired by a fashion piece in the November 2018 issue of InStyle magazine, about layering oversized cardigans with skinny belts. Here’s the inspiration from InStyle… And here’s my version of this “instant style”… Instant Style #1 – For a casual daytime look, I paired my black and tweed high-top Converse All-Stars, which I purchased at the Converse outlet store in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. Instant Style #2 – For date night, I paired my Target Mossimo suede […]

To me, dressing for a winter date night means wearing velvet. Date nights are essential for couples in any stage of their relationship. So when I plan a date night with my husband, I tend to put an outfit on my dress form to see how it’s going to look before I actually put it on. That’s exactly what I did with this winter date night outfit for today’s dress form outfit post. Winter Date Night For this outfit I paired my black velvet jacket {purchased at a thrift store many, many years ago} with a Vera Moda sleeveless peplum […]

Dress Form Outfit: One Sweater, Three Ways

I love seeing how other bloggers style one piece of clothing several different ways. I always think to myself, “I can do that!” So when I was transitioning my dresser from summer to winter clothes, I rediscovered this sweater that I purchased from Kohl’s back in the spring. Then I thought, “It’s sweater weather! I can style this at least three ways!” As I said, I purchased this Cloud Chaser sweater from Kohl’s back in the spring. It was originally $40 and I got it on sale {and I mean, “on sale”} for the low price of only $4! Can […]

Dress Form Outfit: Lucky Maxi Dress

Lucky Brand maxi dress

I love maxi dresses, but I don’t own many. In fact, I only own two maxi dresses. Today I’m featuring one of them as my dress form outfit. I purchased this dress at the StateMint Style consignment sale back at the beginning of September and wore it to a Blogger Xchange workshop in Nashville the following week. This particular dress, I think, is perfect for fall. It is so comfortable and stylish! It is too long to wear with flats, but I have the perfect brown Lucky Brand wedges that I wore with this dress to the blogger workshop. The StateMint […]
