Spring's Blank Slate

By -
It's ironic that at a time when all the magazines are screaming color and all the stores have special showcases of brights, that I -- a color queen -- would be so excited about white. With so much neon and so many patterns and so many bold accessories being on trend all at once, I feel white provides a calming tie to what could be a very noisy, Salvador Dali sort of look. In case you're craving white dresses after last week's style post, here's a helping of blank slates to pile your trends on. (And they're almost all cotton, so you can clean them with Oxi or bleach in the event of living.)

Top: full-skirted shirt dress, Lauren by Ralph Lauren at Nordstrom $158
cotton kimono sleeve dress, H&M $17.95
pleated dress, Adrianna Papell at Nordstrom $178
Bottom: loose cotton frock, J. Crew $69.50
t-shirt dress, Target $18
bra-top maxi sundress, Victoria's Secret $88
textured cotton sheath dress, Calvin Klein at Nordstrom $128

as much as i love the white dress trend and found a perfect one @ h&m that i loved to pieces, i returned it because they are just so much work and it didn't have washing instructions. i suppose i'll have to wait around for the right cotton one maybe? or my wedding dress ha

I've had a white cotton sundress for years. It even had tomato sauce splattered on it at one point, but it's always cleaned up nice. Fabric choice is very important with white dresses.

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

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.
