I purchased three jersey skirts at H&M while I was in Chicago last year. They are super comfortable. This lovely sleeveless blouse is slightly sheer and I usually wear it with a glitter tank top. This outfit will look and feel great during the warm summer months. If I wanted to rock it during the winter, I would pair it with some tights, cool ankle booties and a warm sweater. But since summer is approaching, I look forward to wearing this outfit (probably on a date night with my husband) with a pair of sexy high heels! I also put […]
Dress Form Outfit #9
I’ve been wishing for summer for the past couple of weeks, however, the groundhog saw his shadow (again) this year. So I paired this cute black sleeveless summer dress with a black corduroy jacket from the Gap. The dress’ label says “twenty one” and has very pretty floral detail on either side of the v-neck.
Dress Form Outfit #8
Summer dresses aren’t necessarily just for the summer months. You can layer pieces under and over a summer dress to make it appropriate for Spring or Fall. For instance, take today’s dress form outfit. It is a summer dress that I bought at a thrift store in Key West, Fla., several years ago. This Juicy Couture dress is perfect for those hot summer nights, but toss a jacket over your shoulders and you’re ready for those cool Spring or Fall evenings. I paired it with my Ann Taylor denim jacket and a brown Nine West belt (with a cool silver buckle)! […]
Dress Form Outfit #7
This blue silk jersey dress is by James Perse. It is the dress I purchased at a thrift store in Chicago last year! I mentioned finding this fabulous dress in a previous post! It is a low v-neck dress, and I usually wear a tank top underneath. This time I paired it with a silky soft scarf.
More Material Than I Can Shake A Stick At
I went to my Grandma Howard’s house this past weekend and spent about two hours going through her fabric closet. It’s no “Mood Designer Fabric” store, but it’s more material than I can shake a stick at. And get this – I don’t even own a sewing machine! Although I left quite a bit of material and fabric scraps behind, I hauled away a large black garbage bag full of potential skirts, vests, wrap dresses, tops, pillow case covers, etc. The possibilities are endless, if only I had a sewing machine. Grandma Howard even offered to give me her old sewing machine, as did […]
