Plastic Island Off The Shoulder Dress

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:20:04 +0000

I am not sure how you could incorporate this Plastic Island Off-the-Shoulder Eyelet Dress this Fall and Winter seasons but I saw it and I really like it. Chances are, we’d be better off waiting for Summer to wear this pretty white belted dress.

Just because we can’t wear it right now doesn’t mean we can’t buy it at this moment. It’s currently on sale for $59.40 at Dillard’s. The regular price used to be $198 so this week is the best week to take advantage of that sale price.

Regarding the details of the dress, as you can see, it’s a beautiful off-the-shoulder neckline cinched by a black elastic belt on the waist and featuring an eyelet bodice and a scalloped trim on the hem. It’s available in sizes M and L so if you like it, then go for it. I do suggest to wait for Spring and Summer though. Those seasons would be the best time to wear this off-the-shoulder belted eyelet dress.

Look For Less : Floral Tiered Dress & Wedge

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:24:44 +0000

This floral print ruffled tiered dress is just so cute to pass up. I could only think of one particular style of shoes to pair it with and that is the wedges. So here is a look for less outfit to complete the whole look.

Look For Less : Ruffled Tiered Floral Dress & Wedge

Floral Print Ruffle Tiered Dress, $24.80

Black Strappy Wedge, $12.99

Tri-Strand-charm necklace, $6.80

Beaded chandelier earrings, $6.80.

Floral bangle bracelet, $5.80

The dress is casual and very trendy especially after pairing it with a black strappy wedge. It might be kinda short but like I said, I just couldn’t pass it up. The color combo is sure a pretty, and playful mixture too.

Ruffled Neckline Wrap Dress

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:10:19 +0000

Remember the Necessary Objects Ruffle Trim Poplin Wrap Dress I posted as part of a look for less outfit a few days ago? I saw another ruffled trim neckline wrap dress that I think you’d like as well.

Ruffled Trim Neckline Wrap Dress

This time around the ruffle trim is a crossover that goes to the waist where there is a self-tie sash belt. I think it’s gorgeous too. I especially like the navy blue color.

So what shoes would you wear with this ruffled wrap dress? Black pumps or gladiator pumps. I prefer the latter these days so I’d pick that and black clutch as well. I might actually opt for red accents. The color combo just appeals to me. And it has nothing to do with July 4th. I just think it’s a beautiful combo. This ruffled wrap dress is $27.80 from Forever21.

Look For Less : Bloom Maxi Dress & Flats

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 12:30:09 +0000

I was just going to feature this satin bloom maxi dress from Forever21 but I think it deserves to have it’s look for less complete package.

Look For Less : Blue Maxi Dress & Gladiator Flats

Satin Bloom Maxi Dress, $24.80

Blue gladiator flats, $20.99

Antique Filigree necklace, $6.80

Twisted hoop earrings, $3.80

Thin Bangle Set, $5.80

You can opt for a black pair of gladiator flats if that’s your preference but I wanted to “experiment” with this look so I picked a blue one.

I just added this maxi dress in my shopping cart so I have a feeling the next time I feature the dress, I’ll be the one wearing it. I’m excited.

Look For Less : Y Apparel Multicolor Dress

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:45:42 +0000

This Y Apparel Multicolor Sundress is so cute so I thought I’d create a Look For Less ensemble for us all. It’s in Juniors but I still wear Juniors in L size so I’m sure it’s ok. Sometime the Juniors department have the cutest thing in the world that Women could wear too. It’s just a matter of digging through to find something age appropriate. It’s really not that hard.

Anyhooo, here’s how I would wear the multicolor sundress.

Look For Less : Y Apparel Sundress & Wedge

Y Apparel Junior Multicolor Sundress, $26.99

Multicolor strappy wedge, $17.99

Black medallion necklace, $5.80

Faceted bead earrings, $3.80

Black round bangle, $2.80

Since the dress has a lot of light colors, as well as the wedge, I figured black accessories would pair nicely to tone the look down a bit.

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 31 May 2009 19:36:43 +0000

If you are not fond of the typical plaid squares print, why not check out this chiffon plaid dress from Forever21.

Chiffon Plaid Dress

The plaid design is done in a diagonal way, plus the square shape is not that big. They’re half-sized so they’re not that obtrusive to your fashion preferences. The satin block trim on the waistline adds a bit of minimalism for a contrasting sophistication edge.

It’s $24.80 at Forever21.

Summer Look : Floral Smocked Maxi Dress

Dexie Wharton — Sat, 16 May 2009 13:48:43 +0000

You’ve seen my Forever21 Paisley Print Maxi Dress, now here’s the Floral Smocked Maxi Dress that I also bought from Forever21.

Summer Look : Floral Smocked Maxi Dress & Gladiator Flats

I did a mini-photoshoot with my husband as the photographer using the Nikon D40. I thought taking the pictures outside with the grass would look beautiful with the dress. I was right. I felt like a model .

This floral maxi dress is flowy and also very long. I had to scrunch it up a bit when walking to make sure I don’t step on the hem and fall flat on my face.

I paired it with my CATO gladiator flats, accessorized with a black bangle, hoop earrings, and sunnies. What do you think?

It doesn’t matter whether you pick the hot pink, turquoise, or yellow from this Satin Pleat Dress. It looks great, period. Or you can always get all colors, haha.

Actually, Forever21 calls it “Lustrous Satin Pleat Dress”. It’s pretty isn’t it? All that pleating details without going overboard. I think it’s a perfect summer dress. The color hues are refreshing and the cut would sure beat the Summer heat.
