Sweater Dresses

By -
Despite the protests of some, sweater dresses are great for staying toasty and feminine in the dead of winter. Their only downfall is the clinginess that does bizarre things to my things. No likey. However, I did manage to find several lovelies that are loose around the legs. A few went promptly on my Christmas list.
Top: blue pointelle scoopneck dress, Victoria's Secret $78 (sale)

Oh, these are so adorable! Sometimes, though, sweater dresses give me a fat belly. So I have to be careful.

The ruched one wouldn't. I have that problem too sometimes, but a sash belt will cover that up.

Great picks! My favorite is the chevron print dress. The sweater dress is easy go to outfit for winter.

However, Mirror Sunglasses serve a greater purpose than simply shielding the eye. These sunglasses prevent another person from making eye contact with the wearer. The mirrors are created so that an onlooker will only meet his own reflection when attempting to gaze into the eyes behind a pair of Mirror Sunglasses.

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

"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.

Just click with you want a better view of these horrors committed to fabric and friendship.
Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…
