Why in heaven's name do women buy these horrible dresses? I have seen dresses like these, some with matching shrugs, much too frequently this week. There are many more stylish dresses that cost the same as these but flatter a woman - which these do not. And I'm sure you agree.
If it were possible, I'd burn them all. They're just wrong on any body shape and height. And so very ugly.
Now for example.....
Notice that the two I've posted above are shorter, more fitted and pretty. No matter what size you are, either of these would look great on you. And make you feel so much better than those earlier ugly things.
As if the top dresses aren't ugly enough, the shoes that are worn with them make me want to cry.
Even if you need to wear sensible shoes, that is not a euphemism for ugly.
Yes, it is hot and we all want to be comfortable. But look at these ideas!
It isn't hard to look polished and pretty - it takes shopping coordination, editing your closet and buying the pieces that can match many others. It doesn't hurt to have the hemline altered, waist lines pulled in and buying pretty and comfortable shoes. Then add a few pretty accessories.
Okay, maybe the pearls are a bit much. But you get my point, right?
Make the world a beautiful place by being even more beautiful. You'll have people asking you where you got "that."
If you need inspiration for ideas, there's Pinterest, various fashion magazines (including their websites), Polyvore, Advanced Style, Pose and even more. Again, you don't have to spend a lot of money. That's what this blog is about...looking great for less at "our age."
I certainly don't claim to be THE fashion maven but I do love clothes, shoes, handbags and jewelry and am constantly intrigued at ways to dress better and spend less money doing it. And I'm sharing that with you.
This quote says it perfectly:
Stylistically yours,
