A Little Cagey

... So this is happening:

It's like a Project Runway challenge to make a ready to wear cocktail dress for Lady Gaga's new line for Everlast.  Make it work!

Buy it at Mod Cloth, if you're into that kind of thing...

Hello, Sweetness.

I like this top because:

1. It's feminine and pink without being too twee or silly;
2. There is some weird boob jungle gym thing going on, but it doesn't bother me; and
3.  It would look equally cute with a dark pair of skinnies or tucked into a pencil skirt for work.

Baby Got Back

I have no recollection about this, but at some point, I asked ModCloth to let me know when this pretty little dress was back in stock:

Yeah, that sounds like something I would do.  I am such a sucker for a beautiful exposed back. What a nice surprise!

Buy it while it lasts!

Heart this dress?

So I'm not gonna lie... if this was 5 years ago, 5 years younger me would probably have bought this.  Yes.  Judge away.   It's bright and tacky and draws a big heart around your funnybags.  But isn't that what they are there for?  Whatever.  It's cute and fun and kinda hilarious... and would have been awesome for spring break in Ft. Lauderdale circa 2005.  This dress makes me want to turn on Last Friday Night and rock out... I probably shouldn't admit that.

You lovey long time?

The jury is out...

When I first saw this dress, it made me crinkle my eyebrows in wtf-ness.  I had to click on it to get a better look.  The longer I stared at it the more interesting I found it... like some cuckoo project runway outfit that's half awesome half flaming disaster.  I feel like this looks a little bit like it's made out of Fraulein Maria's window curtains from the abbey (a step down from the fancy pants curtains she found at the Von Trapp Estate).  And the bows are a little twee and the hiked up part in the front reminds me of some lady who got her dress tucked in her pantyhose at church when I was a wee young lass (sidenote: can we all praise the lord that pantyhose are essentially extinct).  But something about it just speaks to me.  Maybe I have finally lost it.

Thoughts?

Get a closer look?

Pretty Present Just For You

I've got a pretty present just for you.  This party dress from ModCloth is festive, fun and flattering.  Huge bows can sometimes be cheesy or twee, but I think this one looks well done.

Fabulous Top for a Fabulous Night Out

I am seriously crushing on this beautiful navy top.  It has so many things I like: drama, intrigue, sequins.  It shows a little skin but not too much.  And I love how the sheer layer tones down the sequins so you aren't running around like a god damned disco ball (not that that is necessarily a bad thing).  It's perfect for those nights when you want to look fabulous but not like an all out showgirl.

Wishin' and Hopin'

Check out this absolutely beautiful sheer top from ModCloth.  It is so delicate and feminine.  You can swap out the belt for a thicker suede belt for a more casual look or layer it over a cami or a thin turtleneck.  At $47.99 you definitely get a lot of pretty for your buck.
