Editor's Pick of the Week: Surprising Dress

By -
Every year my mom buys me an Easter dress. I try to find a dress that will look cute throughout spring and summer and work well for seasons to come. This year, I really wanted a classic dress with a fitted bodice and full, knee length skirt with a simple floral print (nothing too busy). I had spotted one at H&M, but the fit was off and the price was a bit high.

When I couldn't find anything, my mom suggested I go with her ti JCPenny. I rarely find anything there so I almost declined. I figured there was no harm in looking. I tried on a bunch of dresses with no luck. I passed by this blue floral dress at first because it looked dowdy on the hanger. (I don't even love it that much in the picture here). However, it shocked me when I reluctantly tried it on. It fit like a dream. It had the classic style I was looking for with the bonus of pockets! I expect to wear this to several picnics and parties for years to come. It even looks quite sharp with my white blazer as a potential office outfit.

This American Living dress currently costs $74.99. I got it for a lot less for watch for sales and coupons. There is also a multi color allover floral version and a similar pink version with pleats.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
