Tops To Enjoy Candy In

By -
Long ago in college, I stopped a poetry class dead in its tracks by trying to explain fat pants to my professor. He was fascinated to learn both that women keep clothes around of varying sizes and also that our weight fluctuates enough for us to need all those sizes in the span of a month. I certainly have items I'll save for more bloated days and I've been known to change out of skinny jeans when headed to my favorite restaurant. If you ended up with a box of chocolates from your Valentine, here are some shirts you can indulge in.

Top: mauve pleat top, Shop Ruche $43.99
yellow flutter sleeve top, Target $17.99
Middle: faux wrap top, Nordstrom $88
ruffled button down with detachable sequin collar and cuffs, Yes Style $128
green contrast trim top, Shop Ruche $34.99
Bottom:  butterfly print top, Old Navy $29.94
black lace dolman sleeve top, Old Navy $19.97 (sale!)

I love the floaty dreaminess of the top left one, but I can totally see myself choosing the wrong pants or skirt to wear with it and looking ridiculous.

What would you wear it with? Or is it a dress?

Please forgive my confusion, I didn't even know what mom jeans were until about two years ago.

It's long enough to be considered a tunic, so I'd wear opaque leggings under it. In the summer, bag-waist shorts.

Nora, I'd wear it with my skinny jeans or even my straight leg jeans. Depending on the proportions, it could go well with any bottom that doesn't have too much volume like tailored dress pants.

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.
