Welcome to the FMF weekly reader poll. We're hoping to get to know a little more about you, our beloved readers, and have a little fun with fashion questions. This week we want to know how you pack for a trip. Is it a lot or a little?
What I find is that despite only packing essentials I still take too much. Like with shoes, you have to take different options- flats, heels, boots...It all adds up. I can't pack lightly at all.
Packing is so hard, if I could afford to pack nothing and buy everything when I got there, I would be in heaven.
For the most part, I try to pack several dresses that are made from material you can roll in a ball, stuff in a duffel and will look perfect when you pull them out.
It totally depends on the trip. If it's a short trip (five days or less) I pack smart and light. If it's longer than that, I take everything but the kitchen sink. However, repeated lost luggage has led me to learn to pack smarter so I can carry my luggage on the plane.
If I'm driving, all bets are off. Three suitcases and a tote, minimum.
Jean Paul Gaultier's runway promoted one of my favorite fashion looks: pinstripes with a delicate, feminine print. He had high-waisted pants, suspenders, lingerie elements, lace, sheer fabrics, softly geometric designs, and monochrome dominated, much to my glee. His menswear-inspired looks are a testament to how graceful the style can be. Christian Lacroix also paid homage to menswear with pieces inspired by matadors and soldiers. The complete collection wasn't cohesive, but even the breaks from theme were lovely. It's hard to argue with so many colors, ruffles and embroidery. Plus, I want that polka dot coat!
Read our latest post on Plus Size Prom Dresses ! Prom Season is here and if you're beyond the prom age, prom season and post prom season is a good time to shop for any upcoming formal events. Shopping outside of the juniors prom sections and stores may help you find a dress that can live beyond prom or anyone too old to attend prom. During my search I found that Nordstrom had the best selection of plus size evening dresses. They actually have one of the best evening dress selections no matter what your size. The dresses range from elegant to fun and sweet to sassy.

I love Miu Miu's harlequin themed show from Spring Summer 2008, especially this sweetly sexy striped mini dress. Kensie created a cute green version that's more wearable for everyday life. It's $118 at Macy's and perfect for spring. Now if I could find an inexpensive version of that show's teacup heels... Runway image: style.com .
