A Rainbow of Empire Waist Dresses

By -
Last week, Jael posted a rainbow of must-have dresses, all of which were stunning. Sadly, some of us (like me and our reader Catie) struggle with dresses that fit at the natural waist. My natural waist is too high so some such dresses hit me at a weird, not so tiny part of my body and make me look wider than I am. I'm better off in an empire waist for an easy, flattering fit. And like Jael said in her post, if you buy a knit the fit will be fool-proof. These are my ultimate lazy dresses that I know will make me look chic and effortless. (Tip: If the v-necks are too low for you, layer with camisoles. As a bonus, this lets you add pops of color or embellishments like lace or beads for an extra special look.)

I'm sorry, but I don't think you understand how CRUEL it is to tempt me with these BEAUTIFUL dress (I am drooling over the teal an green ones!!) when I am head over heels in college debt. >.<

Meanies.

Just kidding =D Great picks!! My hips and butt are just too big for the natural waist dress, which is a shame, because Old Navy has all of their summer stuff on spectacular clearance right now.

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.
