A few years ago, I received an antique dress form for Christmas and I started a series called, “Dress Form Outfits”. I showed off an outfit every week. I did that for one full year. Then I stopped. Why? I don’t know… but now I’ve decided to restart the series. Here’s the first in a monthly series. Boyfriend Jeans: G by Giuliana (HSN) {$59.90} Jacket: G by Giuliana (HSN) (This jacket sold out, but here is a similar style.) {$69.90} Tank: Forever 21 (similar style/different colors here) {$4.90} Lace-up Wedges: …me Too (Off Broadway Shoes) (You can find similar styles here {$39.99} and […]
How to Break the Fashion Rules this Summer
I’m at that time in my life where I think I should stop wearing certain things because I’m in my early 40s. No more shorts. No more short skirts or short dresses. No fitted clothing. No leggings. But I think that we, as women, are too hard on ourselves and especially too hard on other women for their choice of clothing. So here’s my suggestions on how to break the fashion rules, especially for this summer. 1. Show off those gams! If you got ’em, flaunt ’em, am I right? My husband is constantly telling me I have beautiful legs, and when […]
Dress Form Outfit #51
I didn’t get a Dress Form Outfit posted last week, but I was busy getting everything ready for Christmas. And this week’s dress form outfit is full of holiday color! I have been wanting a pair of green jeans and I found the perfect pair at Forever 21! The tank top is also from Forever 21 and the white sweater is from Banana Republic. The peep-toe booties, which I bought from a friend at work, are from Lane Bryant. Now if only I had a bright red scarf, this outfit would scream “Merry Christmas!” And since today is Christmas Eve, […]
Dress Form Outfit #50
The weather has turned much colder here in East Tennessee. So instead of running around town doing last minute Christmas shopping, I think I’ll just lounge around. And what better to lounge around in than some nice comfy leggings, a soft t-shirt, and a warm sweater.

Just pair it with some cute shiny silver flats. This Affliction shirt was a gift from my husband. It’s kind of […]
Dress Form Outfit #47
This week’s dress form outfit is what I consider to be a “casual work to date night” outfit. I often see in fashion magazines where stylists put together an outfit where every item is under $50. The jeans may be $25, the shirt may be $39, the purse may be $15, etc… However, I would love to see them style an entire outfit for under $50 total – from top to bottom, including accessories. So when I put together my dress form outfits, that is exactly my goal — to put together an inexpensive outfit for less than $50 total! […]
