Isn't Modcloth great?

I dont know about you, but I love perusing the site and looking at dresses. Although the prices put me off, the designs are delightful. A little retro, lots of fun :)
Here are some of my favorites:

Comfort

Today is a nice day, I know because i was forced to leave the house before 12. I wanted to wear something easy (I wasn't planning to stay out for long), so I threw on a striped Urban dress and Corso Como wingtips. I was immediately told to change shoes by my brother. I'm aware that wingtips don't really do anything for my legs, but I don't care this morning. It's so freeing to put on something not necessarily sexy but supremely comfortable. I'm not saying to forgo fashion and style in favor of sweats, I frequently choose high heels over comfort. I am saying that every once in a while, wear something comfy and out of style.

Age

I don't know how many of you watched the Emmys, but Ariel Winter's dress was a hotly debated topic. She wore a baby pink, floral lace halter dress, with cleavage. The debate is over, of course her cleavage. Being thirteen, many thought Ariel's dress showed an inappropriate amount of chest. While her dress was very grown up, I think it was appropriate for her. ahveing been thirteen not too long ago, I know what it's like to be at that point in life. You're exposed to so much in the world, but your too young to be allowed to experience any of it. Dressing the part of a grown up can feel like you're bridging the gap. Also, if any of you have been to a Bar/bat Mitzvah within the last few years, you should know her dress is downright conservative compared to the skin-tight, mini dresses girls now wear.

I haven't posted in almost a year. Life got busy the way it does, even though that's no excuse.
I'm gonna try to post in a more regular fashion, but I'm not perfect, so here goes.

New stuff!

Nautical clothes have been everywhere, on the runways, streets, EVERYWHERE. And why shouldn't they? There is a nautical peice for everyone. A striped shirt, a sailor dress, brogues (my personal fave). This Victoria's Secret top has been in several magazines and frankly, I adore it. The gold shoulder detail is pretty but subtle. Horizontal stripes don't have to be widening, as long as you wear them with slimming bottoms, or break them up with a cardigan or vest. I would wear this with dark skinny jeans and delicate gold bangles.
Now this dress isn't nautical, but it is certainly everywhere. Beloved by celebrities and magazines everywhere, this Rebecca Taylor dress is super girly, but can easily be boho or downtown with the addition of brown boots and a fringe bag, or bronze gladiators and an oversize blazer.

Trust me with these, they look crazy but if you have confidence these can be totally normal. Plus, the multicolored sparkle will go with any color.

Sorry for the random hiatus :(

I just finished watching Easy Virtue, and DIED. The story was great but the costumes were amazing! Jessica Beil's tango dress especially.

Interesting Sights

Today Sephora opened up near me and I was ecstatic. I went with friends, who are always good for talking you out of buying yet another lip gloss, and bought some lovely products. Nothing like buying makeup to make you happy! On the way back I saw a lovely coat. It was a simple black coat except for one detail. A gold sequin panel on the side. It was a lovely detail but i wonder how she could wear it everyday in the winter. Is it easy to wear a distinct coat or a simple one. A simple one won't interfere with your outfit but an interesting one could brighten your day up considerably.
Things like these make Friday even better!
