The Ease of Dresses!

I was reading an article on Salma Hayak the other day, and she was talking about fashion.  She said, "It's a lot easier to grab a fabulous little dress than to put together a whole casual outfit with jeans, a top, the right jacket, and great shoes.  You slip on a dress and you can't go wrong." 

I couldn't agree with her more.  Not only is it easier to just through on a dress, it also takes a lot less time.  Think of the time you would save!  All you would have to do is pick out a pair of shoes to match.  So much time is wasted trying to match your jeans, pants or skirt with a cute top, or a belt, or jacket, or sweater, or cardigan.  And what if they aren't cleaned?  What if nothing looks good?  What if those items are looking old and worn out?  Time is wasting away.

I also feel that dresses are so comfortable to wear.  I am always worrying if my jeans will fit or not.  Will they be tight on me?  Will my muffin top hang out?  I absolutely feel more comfortable in a dress when I am working, too. And for the last couple of years, I have purchased a lot of dresses.  Also, purchasing dresses are a lot less expensive than purchasing whole outfits. Hmmmm.....one piece of clothing verses 3-4 pieces....you do the math!!!

Trouve has a great berry pleated dress that you can dress up or down.  Donna Morgan has a neutral dress with a tie belt that can be worn alone or with a great jacket or leather motorcycle jacket.  Ella Moss has a great black and white silk dress that's so much fun!!  And depending on the time of year, you can wear them with cute sandals or flip-flops or tights and boots. 

So make your life easier, be more comfortable, save some time and buy a dress!! 

Enjoy your day!!

Happy Belated Halloween!!

Happy Halloween (two days late)!!!!

Halloween is always festive in our neighborhood.  A good percentage of the houses are decorated, there's a Halloween costume parade at the grade school, and every family is out trick-or-treating.

There were a lot of creative Halloween costumes this year, and I'm not just talking about the kids.  A lot of parents dressed up too.  There were witches, ghosts, princesses, football players, crayons, rock stars, pop stars, cheerleaders, fortune tellers, skeletons, Angry Birds, Mario and Luigi, and villains.

Here's a photos of my kids in their costumes.  My son is addicted to football and the Chicago Bears, so he decided to go as Coach Ditka from the 1985 Super Bowl Bears.  And yes, that's his real hair!  And the sweater he is wearing was my dad's from the 1980's.  It's now my brother's. 

My daughter borrowed this beautiful costume from my neighbor (the best place to go for girl costumes) and went as the Evil Queen.  I know...she doesn't really look that evil!  She has black and red hair extensions on and a scar on her face, but you can't see it.  They were both very excited about their costumes this year.

I hope all of you had a fun Halloween!!  My kids sure did!!

Enjoy your day!!!
