LBD

 The last time I wore this dress I wore a necklace, but it always got caught in the fabric. Thus, I ditched the necklaces for a pair of lovely earrings today :)

I got this dress for a wedding dress rehearsal of one of my friend's. Speaking of which I'm a bridesmaid in her wedding, and i absolutely ADORE my dress. Amazingly comfortable and classy. [I just need to lay off the ice cream to make sure I still fit into it!]  I'm so glad I got this one. I need to stitch the straps [a bit loose], but otherwise I love this dress.

I love my outfit today. My room-mate always makes fun of me because my clothes are extremely wholesome. She is from the Netherlands and said that there is a church back home called the Black Stocking Church, who all wear really modest clothes. She said I should join, but that's pretty far to go for church. I would have a continual case of jet-lag and I'm just not prepared for that ;) If any of you watch/have seen Will & Grace, she is Karen and I am Grace.

It has been a really long time since I wore a dress [this one has pockets!!], months probably. I should definitely wear them more often, so easy to get dressed in the morning.

Feelin 50's

I wasn't able to get full length pictures because my family had gone camping for the weekend (I helped with a wedding on Saturday) and my full length mirror at home has a huge crack in it. The dress is a bit too short, so I wore a white skirt underneath it. I never would have thought of it on my own. I think I got the idea from Rachel at alamodest. Fabulous blog :) I put my hair up in a high ponytail and tied a black ribbon in it. I also had a white sweater, but it was hot after church so I had taken it off by the time I took pictures. oops

Day 2

I love mixing up colors! I used to shy away from it, but now I love it! It just makes the day so much more fun. For this outift I layered an immodest dress underneath a shirt. I got the idea for that here [clickable]. I love this "dress" because it is so flowy and comfortable. :)

Dress: Goodwill (label is Forever 21)

Shirt: Goodwill (I think) but the label is Merona (Target)

Day One!

I'm taking part of the Feelin' Feminine Challenge :)

This is what I wore to class.

Shirt: Target

Skirt: Goodwill (label-Target)

And then I changed into this dress I bought at New York and Company (on the 50% off sale). You can loosen the strings on the side to make it longer. This dress was really comfy, it's a jersey fabric... :)

Necklace: Claire's

Patterned Dress

This is my only bold patterned dress, and I quite love it. It's really fun to pair with bright shoes. The dress is really "swooshy" and fun to spin in. It lays really nice and is a jersey fabric so it's uber comfy.

Dress: Herberger's
Flats: Shoe Carnival

Adorable

Polka dots

Another summer dress. Dress was 7, sweater was on sale at Kohl's. The hat was probably the most expensive part of my outfit :) So worth it! Wore black ballet flats and a smile =)

Classic Femininity

I love wearing feminine clothes. It's fun and it makes me happy. I don't always dress how Jackie O would, but I make an attempt to put on nice clothes on a pretty regular basis. When I was being inspired by the great fashion icon that Jackie O is, I realized that she wore pearls. Alot. I wear pearls every now and then. They don't seem to go with every outfit that a college student typically has.

Pardon the picture quality. It's just my webcam on my mac. But it will have to do. My roomie, as Jack Sparrow would say, commandeered my Nikon for the day. And yes, I did take these pictures in my shower. It's probably the best place to see a "full length" view if you can call it that. This is what I wore to church today. I felt quite lovely in it. It took me a long time to change into 'regular' clothes since it was such a fun outfit, but eventually Art History called. Anyway, I'm wearing my mom's pearls, a summer dress from Goodwill and a sweater I have had from high school. See? Good fashion doesn't mean you have to pay shocking prices :-)
