Pick of the Week: Fluffy Wine Slip

By -
Just a few years ago, we were lamenting the lack of slips in stores. To many, this is an old fashioned item, but to us it's a fashion must-have. Slips keep your butt covered when the wind grabs your skirt. As many skirts are now sold without linings, slips keep skirts from riding up on your tights, keep the light from turning your skirt sheet, and keep itchy fabric off of your skin. Colored slips with decorative trims are also wonderful for layering under a shorter skirt to add length.

Because of the proliferation of sheer clothes and fit-and-flare dresses the last few years, slips are back in stores. Yay! I'm smitten with this full slip in burgundy tulle from Mod Cloth. It's sweet on it's own for lounging around the house, and it will add fullness to my dresses. You could easily wear it with skirts and use the top part as a cami. It's priced nice at $32.99.

That is fantastic. Burgundy is one color that always feels right to me. It adds color without being too bright, like red (not that that's a bad thing, but it's not always what I want) but it also feels strong without being as stern as black.

Also: leather skirt. Dying to know.

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.
