Romantic Dresses

By -
Much as it makes my mother clutch her pearls, I've always really loved clothes with a retro lingerie vibe. Lately, I'd been ogling beaded silk dresses with a whiff of flapper. Much as they can be a romantic or sexy thing, I'd love to wear them with grandpa sweaters and slouchy boots. Of course you can always dress them up again for the holidays.Top: white lace dress, Mod Cloth $57.99

"You Can Wear It Again"

One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts. My roommate (on the right) actually wore the top until the zipper died, so maybe I wasn't quite as delusional at these other brides.

The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends. I plan to cover the pictures in snarky post-it notes and pass it to becca (who will not make me wear satin polka dots and a floppy hat) to do the same. When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.
