4 Dresses That I Need. Now.

I have this website that I love, and because I love it, I try my darnedest to stay away from it.  My wallet appreciates it.  However, I was just browsing and I thought “hmmm, maybe I should throw up a quick post about these dresses that I love” because I have a dress-obsession.  I love my denim, but give me a skirt or a dress, and I am like a kid in a candy store.  I live in dresses!

So sometimes I surf the internet for hours, or scour the stores, and can’t find something that catches my fancy.  Since I’ve discovered ModCloth, things have changed.  By the way, I have absolutely no relationship with ModCloth (though I wish I did) apart from the fact that they have made lots of money off of me.  I just like it.

Anyway.  I have my own dress code and wear what I want when I want to.  Usually I’m what most people would consider “overdressed”.  I don’t really care.  Here are 4 dresses that I would wear for no special occasion.  All from ModCloth.

The first one makes me wish I was teaching again, the second one makes me dream of spring with footless leggings, gladiator sandals, and a long necklace, the third one reminds me of my Sorority days, and the last one makes me want to to be in a boat with the love of my life on a Venice Canal.  This is why I buy clothing.  Every single piece I buy tells me a story – one that I know or want to know.  Inspiration to dress – I truly think everyone should have it.

Fashion Obsession: Free People

I was bopping around on the Free People site this morning, and fell head over heels in love with this dress.  I want it.  Bad. I need it, can’t live without it, gotta have it, MIGHT GO CRAZY IF I CAN’T BUY IT kinda want.  See what I mean?  It’s serious.

This is the Graphic Cutout Ponte Dress from Free People, and I’m in love with it’s classic, sexy shape, and surprising yet elegant back.  I love clothing that is undeniably sexy but that leaves a little to the imagination, and I think that this dress does that well.  Very well.  So well that I must have it.  Did I mention that part yet?

I will be so disappointed if I try it on and it doesn’t look right on me.  Maybe it’s better if I don’t buy it, because then it can never let me down.

Hm, has this turned into an entirely different discussion now?  I think it’s a possibility.

Some Affordable “Choos”

Label snobs unite!  For those of us who have always dreamed of owning a pair of “Choos” but couldn’t stomach the high price-tag – our day has finally come!  Jimmy Choo has partnered with H&M to launch a line of shoes, bags, and accessories for both men and women on November 14th.  The collaboration of the famous British accessories brand with H&M has also inspired a women’s clothing line that will be specifically designed to compliment the accessories.  That’s how I like to shop — find the best shoes and accessories first, then create an outfit around them!

The collection will only be featured in 250 of H&M’s stores worldwide, but chances are that you’ll be able to snag some Choo swag at an H&M near you.  Can’t wait until the fall to see this much-anticipated collection?  I’ve got a sneak peek for you below!
