Trend: Skirts

This year, along with dresses, skirts are also very trendy, especially fun and flirty skirts like these tulle skirts from D&G. I absolutely love them!

The year of the dress

It looks like this year is going to be "The Year of The Dress!". (in my opinion). I'm so excited about how "IN" dresses are at the moment because I love wearing them.

Dresses are so easy to wear, you just whack it on with a cute pair of shoes and perhaps an accessory or two and you are good to go.

Not only do I love dresses because of the ease and comfort that they present, but also because of the way it makes me feel. I feel feminine, girly, lady-like, pretty, etc...when I wear a dress, so what's not to love about feeling that way.

I would love to thank all the designers for having so many dresses on their runways for Spring - I'm extremely grateful!

Ladies, 2012, is the year of the dress.

Day 346 - Outfit 346

Black sweater, black and white dress/tunic, skinny's and blinky ballet flats

BCBG dresses

While on a trip to North Carolina recently, I stumbled into a BCBG shop. I love BCBG. It is a great line with fabulous colours, shapes and fabrics.

On this specific trip, I was slightly tortured. They had just marked off the majority of the store and the savings were huge. I entered my dressing room with dread, because I had so many fab items in there (around 15) and I knew that if the majority looked good on, I would have a hard time editing. I finally narrowed my choices down to four and then, after several picture messages, I decided on the below:

Gunmetal and black dress marked down from $159 to $39

Black and patterned dress from the Runway line marked down from $395 to $69.

So, when you look at the prices above. What the dresses used to cost and what I paid for them...really, how could I not.

I love BCBG!

Oh, and by the way, BCBG stands for "Bon chic, bon genre" which means "Good style, good attitude". So true.
